Chris's current adventure:
Saving the Hog Father
It has been five years since the Frog-Pill Incident.
The faculty of Unseen University still insist on calling it “an unexpected thaumic interface event,” though everyone else remembers it as the day the Bursar’s experimental frog pills collided with whatever Ponder Stibbons was tinkering with. The resulting magical detonation carved a neat, smouldering crater in the university gardens and briefly tore open the walls between worlds.
Through the shimmering hole stepped any number of curious Fae, bewildered minor gods, and several creatures who still refuse to fill in the correct residency forms. Amazingly, most of Ankh-Morpork accepted the sudden influx with its usual civic spirit, which is to say: a shrug, a price hike, and an immediate attempt to sell them sausages on a stick.
Only Hodgeasarr the gardener recently relocated from Lancre complained, mostly about what it did to his petunias.
In the years since, the city has thrived. New arrivals meant new buildings—Ankh-Morpork has grown upwards, sprouting precarious extra storeys and leaning additions that look as if they were built by someone balancing on tiptoe. Everywhere is bustling: markets hum, alleyways teem, and the taverns are fuller than a dwarf’s liquor cabinet.
The Watch, in particular, has benefited from this new diversity. Commander Vimes is said to be “cautiously optimistic” about his newest recruits: two towering orc constables who insisted their names were Protect and Serve. (Corporal Nobby Nobbs maintains that this is misleading advertising.)
But now, on the cusp of Hogswatchnight, something has unsettled the city’s delicate equilibrium.
A discreet message arrives for each of you.
The Patrician—Lord Havelock Vetinari himself—has “requested your presence.”
And in Ankh-Morpork, a request from the Patrician is very much the same thing as a summons…
