It's been a very hectic week for the entire town this week, but especially Trisha and myself. Not only have we been covering the investigation into the mass murder on Museum Hill (see article by Trisha below for current details), but we've also discovered a rabbit infestation in Verdanturf! It seems
Orpheus Pet Supply accidentally left two rabbits alone in a cage overnight and when the owner arrived in the morning to open the store, bunnies were everywhere! Currently it is unknown where the bunnies came from, but
Chief Eoscuro believes the bunnies simply "spawned" out of thin air. Bollocks, I say.
Chief Eoscuro also has made it clear he wishes to be called
Chief Matt from this point on. We here at the Verdanturf Chronicle applaud his name change decision as it's really hard to remember how to type the old one.
In breaking news,
Detective Klipp and several residents of Verdanturf discovered two or three blue fortresses under the oceans surrounding Verdanturf County. After boating to the structures, the men began being attacked by a devilish creature, slowing their muscles down to prevent escape. Several residents were killed during the attack and
Detective Klipp was wounded. A strike team was formed by
Chief Matt and
Detective Klipp who infiltrated one of the structures without casualty. The strike team began a slow descent into the maddening facility, encountering creatures (see artist's rendering above) that attacked on sight and wounded the strike team when they were struck.
By Tuesday evening,
Detective Klipp was the sole remaining survivor of the strike team - the rest had gone to do homework. He worked his way through lower levels of the "monument", as he called it. He discovered a larger, white creature that inflicted a numbing spell on his muscles. He deduced that this creature must be what was causing the fatigue in the strike team, slaughtering the beast. The muscle-numbness continued for a time as
Detective Klipp struggled to clear every room in the monument. Finally he began to give up, wounded and nearly dead (rumors say he died six times from drowning, but myths and folklore are common in Verdanturf), when he discovered a previously unseen corridor.
Following the corridor revealed to him another white "guardian" (his name, not ours). He nearly drowned destroying the creature, but upon its death, the numbness subsided and he was free.
Detective Klipp collected evidence of the monument and has returned to the surface, somewhat soggy and moldy, but alive thankfully.
Detective Klipp had this to say during a press conference:
"Folks, the creatures have been dealt with, but the smaller, green ones continue to come forth from the structure. I'm not sure they can be exterminated completely, but they cannot function outside of water as well as they do in the water. If you ever hear flapping or splashing when near a structure like this, proceed to the noise and destroy the beast.
As for the building, we will attempt to discover where it came from, as well as discover how to better defeat the creatures inside. We know of two more of these, so we need to develop a combat strategy.
All blocks collected during my investigation will be donated to the Museum of Modern Minecraft where they will be put up in a display for all to view and enjoy."
Congratulations for the success, Detective. To residents of Verdanturf, stay out of deep ocean water to avoid these guardians and contact your police department if you encounter one on travel.
