Sheep are wonderful sources of wool for mittens, sweaters, yarn, and other products. Also, they are also the source wonderful dishes like roast lamb, mutton, and of course haggis! And they're good luck. Especially if you're a Lonely Shepherd. In any case, sheep are a valuable resource.

And the colony of Kismet has a surplus of them. They might not admit to it, but you're sure they have a surplus. They must have a surplus or you wouldn't be "redistributing the excess", would you? The only problem is that some of the ungrateful locals won't like you confiscating their excess sheep. And of course, neither will the OtherSideTM--those No Good Sheep Rustlin' Scum want the sheep for themselves!

So your team (either the clan of Brave Scots led by their English Officers, or the combined Queenslander/Tasmanian/South Islander mob) will vie for control of the sheep. This just might (Who are we kidding? It's an ironclad cinch) lead to some hostility, perhaps even (gasp) gunplay! And of course, the NPCs and some unusually unusual sheep may complicate matters. Won't this be fun?

And as an added incentive, you'll get to meet (or "be unable to avoid") the likes of Dr. Eliza Fulton of the Gesundheit Institute, Dijabringabeeralong Glover, Allan o' Southfen, Jon of Barking Tye (a Defrocked Presbyterian Clergyman) and others whom we feel it prudent not to admit to at this time. Encounter fearsome creatures like the Fierce Multi-Armed Sheep, the Fast Military Attack Sheep, and the dreaded Baa Baa Baaaaang! Sheep (among many others). And of course, Honest Abdul, Purveyor of Fine Camels (Slightly Used)!

Note: Any imagined resemblance between these player or non-player entities and any members of the GZG mailing list is --for legal purposes--entirely coincidental!

After Action Report There was no event. Really. It may sound unlikely, but that's our story and we're sticking to it.
