ISSUE NOTES -
Shabble. In appearance, a miniature sun, though colouration tends to be changeable and idiosyncratic. In voice eccentric, speaking at will in any of the accents heard ever on Untunchiamon, even those unplaceable foreign accents otherwise voiced only by the conjuror Odolo. In behaviour feckless, for Shabble has scant regard for consequences. That is Shabble.
While Shabble is still hanging there in the air, a massive energy drain affects all of Injiltaprajura. Lights darken. Fires go out. Candles die. Then, to Shabble's horror. Shabble feels. Something trying to seize Shabble's own energy. Shabblesqueals in fright and flees down the nearest drainpipe. The drainpipe leads Downstairs. Downstairs! There is horror down there and Shabble fears it greatly. Yet the alternative is death
What has caused the massive energy drain? Itis left to Chegory Guy, an Ebrell Islander to find out. This is unfortunate as his chief skills are as a knifefighter and a rock-gardener. Any yet it is he who finally holds the future of the enitire equatorial island of Untunchiamon in his hands
