The Explorer’s Club building at Fantasy Faire 2013 continues to be an area of mystery and I’ve received more information over the last few days. First of all another note was slipped under the door of my room:
“We’ve received grave news from Steelhead. Remember we told you about the Questers that you might encounter around the Faire? You can spot them because of by their special titles – they’ll have the sign of the Quest for the Golden Prim (sometimes shortened to QGP) and their character name.
But apparently, some of them are concealing dark secrets – three of their number are dangerous fugitives!
News just in from Steelhead informs us that Questers known as Dr Wirefly, Professor McMinn and Miss Primm are wanted in connection with the murder of a citizen of Steelhead. They were apprehended in Steelhead but escaped by drugging the Sheriff and his trusty deputies.
These people are highly dangerous – if encountered, they should be reported to the Sheriffs of the Faireland., We are asking Fairgoers not to risk danger by approaching them directly. If you see any other Questers, however, we believe you may still safely approach them and request information (and gifts).”
This news disturbed me greatly, but being an adventurer I couldn’t turn away, I just had to go back to the explorer’s club to see what was going on. I arrived there in good spirits, treading rather cautiously and outside the building I met a strange lady, she made me nervous, she took me in and gave me breakfast and I said “Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder.”
“No.” she replied, rather suspiciously, “I come from The Steamlands.”
Well it could have been worse, she could have smiled and made me a vegemite sandwich.
In hushed tones the lady told me that there had been new developments and news from Demetrius “Fuzzball” Ortega, Marshal of Steelhead City. The Marshall and his deputies had been investigating an anonymous tip regarding a disturbance at the home of a Mr. Carruthers. The Sisters, yes Steelhead’s deputies are nuns, and The Marshall arrived to find the……”Questers” in the house, standing over the dead body. As such, they were apprehended and brought in for questioning.
However, despite the fact that they had been under lock and key, one of their own had disguised themselves as one of the deputies. The fake deputy had brought The Marshall some tea but it turns out that the tea was drugged, and when The Marshall passed out, they made their escape
Communications since then suggest that the “questers” are currently at large in The Fairelands. If anyone does encounter one of these dangerous criminals they should alert the Fairelands officials. They have the facilities for holding all ne’er do wells. Above all, neither approach them yourselves, nor assist them in any way. It is quite evident that they are very dangerous criminals.
I’m rather perturbed to say the least regarding ne’er do wells being at large in the Fairelands, tread carefully.

That will also be the location for a party, tomorrow Saturday April 27th between 2pm – 5pm SLT. I may even make an appearance, if I can get out of The Flaming Tankard early enough!
