A Skunk by Any Other Name

The Great Spirit Skunk chose a quiet day for his return to Faethorn.
Perhaps it was indeed that quietness that attracted his mischievous
nature, or something entirely different, but the serene spell was broken
the moment a skunk paraded through the famous Faethorn baths.
Practicioners of Wicca and those skilled with Totems could sense the
disturbance immediately and rushed to the spa to find the despairing
Margie Shimmerwing at the check-in desk.

Just as Margie began to explain her predicament, the waterfall supplying
the baths being befouled and the fae smelling worse than Gorgulu's
upper-left armpit, a revolt broke out upon the Prime Plane and the
majority of her helpers rushed off to put out yet another fire. Left
with but Dylara Stormcrow, Margie beseeched her to request Dandelion
Sweatpease's help in dealing with the skunk frolicking upon Faethorn.
The effort was joined by Asmodea Kamau and, for the sake of the fae, a
temporary truce was agreed upon between the two women.

As they worked, more people trickled into Faethorn, notably Crek
Ysav'rai and Scanlan Stormcrow, both of whom provided assistance
throughout the endeavour: Scanlan with his mastery of honeycakes, and
Crek with his mastery of foul odours. Once a clever trap was devised
with Dandelion's help and the skunk has been dealt with, the Great
Spirit Skunk himself has made an appearance. Those questioning his
motives for turning his attention to Faethorn now did not receive
satisfactory answers, but the little skunk has found a new home in
Maeve's Gardens.

Upon the urging of those gathered, Dandelion gathered up the courage to
visit Margie and tell her of his accomplishment himself, and so began a
heart-warming, if awkward, courtship between the two while others busied
purifying the waterfall and bringing the fae in for a thorough
scrubbing.

It is almost certain that the Great Spirit will continue to play tricks
upon his new home.

Penned by My hand on the 25th of Dvarsh, in the year 438 CE.
