Message: <blockquote data-quote="simmo" data-source="post: 1457643" data-attributes="member: 9744">We Interrupt This Adventure to bring you the following newsPeace-loving Organisation Forced to Change its Name Due to Vicious AttacksChant mongers and touts are rattling their bone-boxes around the Cage bringing you this breaking piece of news. Those in the know have heard of the recent happenings in the Great Modron March, including the unprovoked raid on a research base that left many dead and injured. At first it was thought that the raid was carried out by a Tanar'ri scouting party due to the ferocity of the attack and the amount of devastation that it caused. But a subsequent investigation indicated that it was conducted by a ruthless band of mercenaries whose only goal it was to plunder the base for knowledge and valuables.Our reporter on the scene, the renowned Ashenbach, was able to get a quick interview Sethetis administrator in chief of the base.Ashenbach: "Wanna tell us about the bashers that raided your place and how they gave you the laugh?"Sethetis: Sigh. "It was truly awful. We were attacked without warning and many of our researchers were killed. The enemy was upon us before we could react, using underhand tactics to disable and main our guards in order to ensure the complete element of surprise."Ashenbach: "Much obliged and all that. So what's this dark I'm hearing about modron implant tinkering..."Sethetis: "Please let me finish." Sigh. "Our loyal guard dogs were burnt alive, they recklessly slew many of the volunteers that we'd paid to take part in our trials and they kidnapped the rest. They stole all books that were invaluable as they are the culmination of years of research. To top it all off they actually cut off the legs of one of the volunteers, he died of shock before he was able to bleed to death."Ashenbach: "Suren. Anyway, what are the Anakharim plans for making sure these berks pay the music? Gonna ask the Red Death for help?"Sethetis: "Well, the Anakharim will do nothing. Since these heartless mercenaries attacked us and brought our hard-earned good name in to disrepute, we have been forced to change the name of our organisation to save face. From now one we will be called the Tacharim."Ashenbach: "Hmmm. Did the Anakharim... uh, I mean Tacharim mess with modrons 'n humans? You know, like making new tiefers or some such?"Sethetis: "Of course not! These foul accusations have been put about by our enemies to discredit us. They have hired mercenaries to attack us as they are too cowardly themselves and we expect further attacks. However, this time we will be ready for them."Ashenbach: "So the chant about that modron implant stuff is pure screed?"Sethetis: "Yes. Do you have any more questions?"Ashenbach: "Suren. What exactly are you berks messing with in this place?"Sethetis: "I'm not permitted to speak of it, I'm sorry."Ashenbach: "Chant has it you're using soul prisms in yer work. Wanna comment?"Sethetis: "Under no circumstances would we use those items or even handle them. This is yet another attempt by our enemies to discredit us. Now if you please, I have work to do and a base to rebuild."Ashenbach: "What a rube. Well there you have it cutters. The Anakharim are now the Tacharim and their peace-loving researchers. I'm a monkey's uncle and it's g'night from me. Stay tuned for more tarmy chant coming your way, suren."</blockquote>
