March 12th, 2010Royal Britannian Guard, Scout Report, New
March 11th, 2010Report from a scout, morning:
In seeking information about the Mt. Sho Boar, I’ve learned of the Kentaurosu-Ronin.
These intelligent and physically-powerful creatures left Ilshenar many generations ago, drawn to Tokuno by its beautiful forests and fields. The Kentaurosu-Ronin are nomads who wander Tokuno with their drifts of pigs. They seek the finest grass for their carefully-bred swine, which are not only hand-fed, but also massaged daily.
They were last seen encamped near the Lotus Lakes.
Report from a scout, afternoon:
I was walking through the woods north of the Lotus Lakes when a centaur galloped past me, muttering about missing pigs. He was quickly out of shouting range, so I hurried after him. Eventually, I came upon a herd of Kentaurosu-Ronin packing up their camp.
One of the elders, Daichi, had a moment to speak with me. He said, “Several days ago, Hercules came to us, seeking the secret of pig taming. Of course we did not tell him, at first. We invited him to join us for our evening meal. He was not an ideal dining companion. He mocked us for eating our meat raw. To be polite, we offered to start a fire and cook the meat for our guest. Instead, Hercules gave us a strange gift, bottles of amber liquid. We did not wish to refuse this nascent show of kindness, so, as he was drinking it in great quantities himself, we sampled this new beverage.
As the night wore on, we somehow came to think of our guest as a brother, and thus shared with him the secret of taming and herding even the most recalcitrant swine. Hercules told us he planned to capture the legendary Mt. Sho Boar. At the time, and in our condition, this seemed a fine idea. When we awoke the next morning, our pigs were gone! We assume Hercules herded them away as practice. We have only just recovered sufficiently to be able to strike camp and search for them.”
I asked Daichi where I could find them again, but he shook his head and said, “we shall wander rootless until we locate our drift. We have spent many years with those pigs, and their parents, and their parents’ parents. We shall seek them until we find them or their bones.”
Royal Britannian Guard, Scout Report
March 10th, 2010Report from a scout:
I’ve done some preliminary investigations in Tokuno.
I went first to Makoto-jima. A woman in Zento said she had seen the Immortal Mt. Sho Boar run through her home. She’d felt very fortunate and had promptly hidden in a large vase until it went away. A man had then stomped in demanding paprika. She’d stayed hidden and heard him pillaging her liquor cabinet instead.
A fisher said he had been fishing in the Phoenix Mountains when he saw the lucky Mt. Sho Boar run past him, so he’d jumped in the water. A large man wearing skull kneepads dragged him out and demanded “dry thigh-me” for saving his life. At that point the fisher fainted. He was relieved to wake up and find that the man had apparently settled for stealing the sake from his lunch box.
A woman in the Northern Waste said she’d been hunting when she had the great honor to see the Mt. Sho Boar approaching. She had just killed a deathwatch beetle, so she crawled under its corpse. A man in a red kilt, she distinctly remembers that detail, lifted up the corpse and demanded she find him salt, pepper, onions, and garlic. She gave him the bottle of barbecue sauce she’d been planning to use on the beetle and told him he could find the rest of the ingredients on Homare-jima, as that was the farthest location she could think of at that moment.
Also, I found campsites which may have been Hercules’s

Royal Britannian Guard, Thu. March 11th, 8 p.m. CST
March 5th, 2010You receive a copy of a note:
Guard meeting, 8 p.m. Thursday. Brit. Counselor Hall. Arrive armed and ready to travel. Looks like Hercules has been on the move. -–Keel
You glance at the folded front page of the newspaper you just brought in. The headline, “Sea monsters attack…” catches your eye, but when you unfold the paper to read that article you are instead drawn to the puzzling headline “Makoto Residents Grow Weary of Drunken Boar”.
The Skull has new information…
March 2nd, 2010The Skull of Mondain has more information to give to its willing servants. It still rests in the Void Shadow Dungeon which can be entered at 18o33′N 60o11′W in Ilshenar near the ancient stone.
(The teleporter has been fixed to the room with the skull. It is around the stone there and no longer requires any word for entry. The Skull’s goals can be learned with the words “desires” or “wishes.”)
Useful Resource
February 28th, 2010I wanted to pass on a useful resource that some of your fellow players have started. Based on the in-game Library of Sosaria, this wiki keeps track of important Ultima Online and Great Lakes books and plot information, including EM events:

Stratos, Lithos, and the Missing Plan? *UPDATED*
February 23rd, 2010What should the Royal Spies do about the Elemental Titans?
*Update*
There is now a rune at the small house next to the Britain Counselor’s Hall to the entrance of Xenve An-amo-lem. To get in, stand on the net and say “un or us.”
The Skull…
February 23rd, 2010The Skull of Mondain will speak to those willing to listen and act on its behalf. It still rests in the Void Shadow Dungeon which can be entered at 18o33′N 60o11′W in Ilshenar near the ancient stone.
(The teleporter has been fixed to the room with the skull. It is around the stone there and no longer requires any word for entry. The Skull’s goals can be learned with the words “desires” or “wishes.”)
Ice Fishing, Saturday, Feb. 20, at 3 p.m. CST
February 16th, 2010*you feel something tug at your robe*
A small green creature has wrapped its little hand around your hem and is pulling insistently. It says, “Aarp! I goes ice fishing! You comes too, yerg?”
3 p.m. CST Meet at the Shrine of Honesty if you’d like to sail on or alongside the main ship.
5 p.m. CST Weigh-in at the Shrine of Honesty
There will be a gate from the Counselors’ Hall to Dagger Isle (AKA Ice Island).
You can be a passenger aboard the main ship or sail alongside it. It will encounter strange creatures, good and bad. It will also have a healer aboard. If you like, you may sail your own ship elsewhere and meet us for weigh-in.
Please bring your largest fish, caught during or prior to this event (it must not be mounted), to the weigh-in. If it does not win, you may have it back. Please keep all boots and thigh boots you fish up during the event and bring those to the weigh-in as well.
