Market in Uproar The Market place was placed into immediate chaos as expeditions scrambled to check out this rumored find. Zakuna city authorities, such as they are, urged calm uselessly. Sir Henry Kipper is a noted explorer of the backcountry but is considered somewhat eccentric. He is also lucky, three times he has been the only survivor of a major expedition. Luck Run Out? This time Sir Henry's luck may have run out as he is obviously insane
after his latest expedition. He is locked up in the Zakuna jail until
British authorities can come claim him. His ravings were mostly ignored until he mentioned Mukuna, long the object of intense interest of expeditions it is said to be the Treasure City of the Blini-Blini people who once ruled all Tanzanica before mysteriously vanishing. |

monstrous storms scattered about. Witch Doctors are predicting a usual

Dik-Dik Graveyard. 'It has long been thought that any Dik-Dik that
knew it was dying made its way as best it could to the Dik-Dik's Graveyard.'
Said Middlingheim 'I mearly followed any old Dik-Dik around until
he was ready to die and he led me there.' Other scientists were quick
to scoff at the discovery. 'Why can't those Germanchaps do anything
useful?' Asked British scientist Morton Throckfronginton IV. Idimi,
witch doctor of the Bemgi Ya-Tongas said 'It is death to disturb the
sacred place of the Dik-Dik!' and is trying to get together a warband
to slaughter the scientists expedition. |
