[ 31] Reporter: Tinker Gnome discovers rare Blue Diamonds!!! Thu Aug 27 17:12:58 1998 To: all -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This afternoon, a discovery has been made. A tinker gnome mage from the Red Robes has discovered a mine of rare blue diamonds. The diamonds have quickly been shipped to almost every jeweler in Algoron, although a few came up missing when the Pirates attacked the merchant ships at sea. When asked about his discovery, Madul responded with this story. "Diamonds! Diamonds everywhere! They shine with a bright blue light and grow to be larger than... than... Than a mastodon! I was testing a new invention, one that has a head made of diamonds which bores a hole into the ground, powered by magic, and I thought a perfect place to test it would be the sands of sorrow, for many things must lay underneath those miles of sand. My invention bored easily through the sands and suddenly fell into a deep tunnel, carved long ago. My magic machine had burst open and was nothing more than scrap metal *sniff* but behold! Around me were riches greater than any I have seen before! But there were two things there that would make any expedition dangerous. Many monsters, sealed for ages, wander about, and the diamond itself is steadily implanted into the wall, almost impossible to break it free. I spent about a day removing a chunk the size of my palm." The Althainian Report, Day of the Bull, 29th the Month of Futility. |
