Celebrations continued for the 500th anniversary of the fall of the
Seleucarian Empire as a group of travelling merchants arrived on
Sapience to market their exotic wares near the recently-opened Brass
Lantern Inn. While the bustling bazaar was underway, customers arrived
to browse the goods, which ranged from armoured warthogs and fernbeasts
from Meropis to delectable soursop fruits and extravagant parasols.

One such item, a seemingly innocent paper donkey, was touted by its
maker as a means of frivolous entertainment. Filled with candy and beat
with a club, she explained, it would rain down candy on all
participants! Adventurers were tempted to try, mirthfully beating one
toy until it suddenly grew to enormous proportions, coming to life
before their eyes!

A giggle drifted down from the heavens as the paper donkey bucked and
kicked its way through the bazaar, brandishing a club in its mouth and
sending customers falling to the ground, their heads spinning. The toy
was short-lived, however, and adventurers chased it through the bazaar,
relentlessly smashing it to pieces. As the toy burst into confetti and
disappeared entirely, laughter rang throughout the firmament, and the
Goddess Pandora revealed Herself to be the culprit, returned from a long
absence.

Welcome back to Pandora, Goddess of Mischief!
