Clover - A Village Under Seige The massacre in Clover continued today with the deaths of 12 more farmers, bringing the death toll since the attacks began to 1,827. It is still unknown why the village of Clover remains such a high target for repeated attacks. Many villagers, tired of being repeatedly decimated, maimed and devastated are packing up their bags and leaving. Said one farmer "I was just whistling happily away one day when suddenly a pack of fighters entered town and just started ripping people to shreds. It was terrible. Can you imagine watching your best friends being disemboweled and mutilated like that, day after day?" Still, not all villages are leaving. When asked, Mr. Griff stated that "I run the most successful duck shop in Thera. And my sacks are the most popular around. I just can't up and abandon my shop like this." When asked how he has survived this long he said "I just pretend like I'm dead and let them take all my gold. I always feel stupid about selling them any ducks in the first place after that." This seems to be a common tactic. Jim, a young man at the entrance of the town said "I've almost been killed a few hundred times, but I just try to be wistful about the whole thing. I may be blind in one eye from repeatedly having dirt kicked at me. I may have had a limb or two dismembered, but it's important to keep a positive attitude." The attackers seem to have no real goal in their massacres. They don't belong to any organization and many have never killed before in their life, save a few goblins. They always come in groups of three for some unknown reason. When asked about any common traits the attackers have, one farmer reported "Ussually, I don't see anything special about them." Most carry curved long swords, jagged daggers and crude sceptres of some sort. Once their bloodlust is quenched in the village, most journey south to continue their massacre in the forest. But the villagers aren't just standing by idly. Several years back the villagers captured a rare mountain boogum and chained him up outside the village to ward off potential attacks. One farmer reported "Every now and then he seems to get one of them. But ussually they just find a way around, somehow. That or they just cleave their way through him." Other than that no actions have been taken to prevent future attacks on the village. |
