The Most Evil Holiday of the Year?

[NiamiDenMother]

<p>Erollisi Day is just around the corner, and I've taken a different sort of perspective on the holiday in the mini-story leading into my E-Day crafting & housing preview.  <a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g474&menustr=080000000000" target="_blank">Check it out here!</a></p><p>~Mum</p>

<p>Another load of work you've done for us - well done and thank you Mum.</p>

<p>In the picture I see, what LOOKS to be, a plate of cupcakes(?) but I didn't see that listed on the craftables to make?</p>

[Finora]

<p>Thanks Niami!</p>

In between distractions that mean it gets put on hold for a month here, a month there, I've been working on a Library over on Test that will house books of all the little mini-stories I've been writing for the site over the years.  Some year, it may be ready for folks to tour ... maybe!</p>

I beat up a snot elf to get that!'"</em></p><p>.... suddenly I'm feeling VERY inspired by the spirit of this holiday.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" />  Great write-up as always!</p>

<p>I think Mum is working too hard. She let <em>Trip </em>write about Erollisi Day???</p><p>My alt Oogleblat is also somewhat concerned that the 'Oggleblatt' mentioned in the story might be an unfortunate reference to him. Miss Triptych, if the room looks dark, there may be an Ogre looming over you.....</p>

[NiamiDenMother]

<p>{snicker} I does put a different twist on the event, doesn't it, Domino?   <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p><cite>Therendil wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>I think Mum is working too hard.

I like feeding fat halflings to my iksar buddies you know, can't have them on a sugar-free diet!</p><p>Thanks for the great preview!</p><p>Domino? You look great on the patcher <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Therendil]

<p>Well, if you say it was accidental, I'll believe you. And I do recall how hard you giggled when you heard the name the first time. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I can easily believe that he left a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">scar</span> favorable impression on your mind.</p><p>And you are quite right that things might have come out more interesting if one of the others had written the piece. Perhaps next year....</p>
