I know I wrote most of these, but I think they should be here, since most of the people playing really enjoyed them

A rather timid looking townsperson gazes myopically a streetside stall. He rather indiscreetly scratches at a rather discrete region while trying to remember if the pus yellow fungus made him more or less sick than the puke green one, since noone seemed to have any of the snot grey.
The slapping of sandals makes him spin around, as a bedraggled, beleaguered and all together out-of-sorts looking man runs past. The bystander is then quite unceremoniously knocked over by a large crowd carrying various farm implements, several lengths of hanging cord and, inexplicably, a baguette. Crawling through the crowd in the faint hope of actually eating some bread, he overhear's cries of "Him and Rashan must be lover-killers!", "The PAF does not condone behavior of this kind!", "Are we chasing the squiggly blue line guy?" and "Spammers must die! Low posters too! And middle posters, just to safe." .
Someone stands on the bystander's fingers as the crowd slowly converges on the runner. Just then the runner throws his robe into the air, revealing machetes, knives, crossbows, a longsword and something noone can quite identify, but nonetheless looks painful.
Everyone steps back, this time resulting in a heel to the kidneys. The runner looks around and screams "Kessobahn! Your stupidity has gone one for too long. I do now what your father should have". A collective intake of breath follows as the assassin jumps into the air. Liosan mumbles something about also being a ninja, fingering his cardboard shuriken. A confusing, bloody and quite possibly impossible set of actions follow, the end result of which is Kessobahn lying in several pieces all over the street.
Someone in the crowd yells - "Assassin, get him!" and the crowd surges forward. The assassin spins around and says "I can explain! You see I'm a GOOD assa-".
Unfortunately he doesnt have a chance to finish his sentence, as a thrown squid hits him square in the face. Desperately the assassin claws at his head, but the squid, now roused to anger, is having none of it. Slowly it squeezes its tentacles around the assassins neck. Through the squid's translucent skin, the assassins face turns a curious shade of blue. To add to the indignancy, an ink stain runs down the front of the assassin's shirt.
Stilled by the bizarre spectacle, the crowd steps back. The assassin finally keels over, squid-first into the mud. The squid then rather calmly lays it's eggs on the assassin's head and slinks off into the swamp.
In the distance a rather trampled looking figure flees into the distance, his silhouette marred by the shape of a long loaf of something edible.

A fruit vendor sits picking his nose in the early hours of the morning. Gods know noone will buy anything at this hour, but anything is better than going home and listening to his wife. He looks down at his stall, an upturned crate slowly sinking into the mud. Some squid, various mushrooms and a lonely, prized, apple.
A stranger walks up to the stall.
thud
"Ooh, what a charming little emporium, may I peruse your wears?"
"You're not from around here are you?"
thud
"What? I've lived here all my life! I'm the very definition of an Ambergris citizen."
"Well I've never seen you before."
"Nonsense, everyone knows me - I have the coolest avatar!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
thud
"I'm Ambergris's most premier citizen - I've even been invited to a greycap tea-party. Such a wonderful affair those are."
"Listen, I dont sell to nutjobs, so move along please."
"Nutjob? Whatever are you talking about? Besides, I'm hungry, let me see what you have for sale."
thud
"I said I'm not selling anything to you, get lost."
"The indignancy. I refuse to leave until you've provided me with some food."
"No!"
"Fine"
The stranger proceeds to sit down in the mud in front of the stall.
thud
"I'm not moving until you agree to sell me something."
"Look, you can have this apple if you just leave"
"I dont want it."
thud
"Why not, it's an apple! You know how hard it is to find apples? It's not even a week old"
"Well, because there's a crossbow bolt sticking out from it."
Sure enough, the prized apple is pinned to the stall by a wicked looking bolt.
"I cant imagine why you decided to decorate your stall in such a gloomy manner, but you've certainly been thorough. Although I must admit, the feathers are rather fetching"
Looking down, the stall keeper realises that his stall is bristling with crossbow bolts.
"wha..."
thud
The stall keeper looks up, to see that the stranger is lying face first in the mud. Knowing the mud around here, not the most hygienic of positions. Which is in any case a moot point, considering the large crossbow bolt sticking out the back of the stranger's head.
"aagh"
The stall keeper picks up his crate, bolts and all, and hurriedly shambles off into an alley.
"I think I better go check on the wife..."
Anomandaris (Gem Windcaster) is dead - she was inno

The fruit vendor sighed and rested his back against a tree. It has taken him the whole day to patch all the holes in his crate, all the time having to listen to his wife moan about the fact that he couldn't even be shot at with expensive bolts.
At least now he'd found a shady spot as far as possible from anywhere anyone would want to go. He'd even managed to find a mushroom he'd never seen before. It was bright pink with little blue spots all over it. No way anyone would buy it, but it might be worth something to an apothecary. The vendor smiled to himself and dreamed of actual meat.
His reverie was rudely interrupted by the arrival of an out of breath townsperson, mumbling incoherently about cases and post-counts. "Can I help you?" asked the vendor. "You gotta hide me, they want my blood!".
"I dont really think I want to get involved in all this..."
"It's too late now, here they come."
A very, very angry group of people burst into the clearing. "There he is - get him!". Several of the mob jump forward and pin the stranger to the ground. "Alright, who has the rope?"
"I thought you did - you had some yesterday."
"No I had a pitchfork - you had the rope."
"so noone has rope."
The crowd looks around hopefully, but indeed, noone brought the rope. "Well, that's embarrassing, now what?" someone asks. "Does anyone have a squid?" someone else suggests.
The vendor clears his throat sheepishly and holds forth his pink and blue mushroom. "You could try this."
"What does it do?"
"Honestly, I have no idea."
"Good enough for me!" someone cries and stuffs the mushroom into the stranger's mouth. The stranger chokes a little, then swallows, a dreamy look appearing on his face.
"Awh man, this is some good shit. Your words - I can see them. They're different colours. It's beautiful. Thanks guys" and the stranger falls asleep.
"Is he dead?"
"I dunno"
Suddenly the stranger sits up, throwing off his attackers. "rofl w00t lol lol lol lmao imho rofl!!!!111!!!11" he cries, right before his stomach explodes.
Everyone is showered in blood, viscera, gore and masticated mushroom. The obligatory wheel rolls past.
Rashan (lisheo) is dead - he was inno

Hey, Lish here.
Morning has broken over Ambergris. Nothing strange happened, which is a strange thing, indeed.
As the regent rises for the fourth day, he notices how his morning choir is once again firmly in place. A peek out of the window show their numbers are diminished, which is not a real surprise, seeing how his agents have been diligently reducing their numbers. "Good morning my lovely minions," the regent shouts, upending the chamber pot from his window. The outrage is very visible, but quiet, as ever living member in the PAF is too busy closing their eyes, mouth and nose and averting their faces. At the least, his assassins can now track the resistance by its smell.
But will it even be necessary? Two shady figures watch from the shadows, crossbows in their hands, a scattering of bolts, throwing knives and squid at their feet. "Who do we shoot today, mate?"
"No clue. Look, that guy over there is painting a target on that other guy's back."
"Should we shoot that one? Regent said there was an insider on the job..."
"Might be a trap. I mean, maybe it is a sign of rank, or sumthin, maybe he got a field promotion."
"I think you made a slip there, it's something in proper Ambergris."
"My ambergris is pretty good, go back through anything I ever said and you'll notice not one other slip. Besides, who are you to point out my flaws? You are not ever even here, all the time holing up eating kiwi's."
"Vitamins are vital, dear chap. Now, who do we shoot?"
"too late, they saw you. They're coming this way. Draw swords, and let's take out as many as we can."
"That guy with the paint is now writing SCuM on another guy's jerkin."
"Yeah, wonder what he mains by it..."
As the assassins bicker on, the poor PAF member who has been scribbled on, throws a hissy fit. "I'm telling you, I don't care who we tear apart, as everyone could be scum! Those two in the corner there, with all the weapons, but also you, you or you! And I'm a Soldier, anyway!"
"But neither of us has scum on their shirt", a helpful underling points out, hoping for a promotion, nudging the Gamelon at his side, the one hero with some experience left, and a duly earned nickname of "the Weasel".
"Who cares what my shirt says, it's about whether or not I show up as scum once I'm torn apart! And I will not!"
"Only one way to find out,"FEner says, rolling up his sleeves. The grafiti-ed PAF member cries as his fellow members of the resistance produce various pocket squids, known as Saturday Night Specialities, raised and fed on noxious diets by the firm Squid & Poisson, and sold with a label saying: "Do not digest".
This advice is religiously followed by all the people forcing their Specialties down the poor rebels throat. After all, they aren't the ones doing the digesting...
"Look, they're fighting with one another, this is our chance!"
Soon, the air is filled with bolts, squid and ink, and in the end, only one man stands, a regent's badge on his coat.
"Well done guys, but then, the hints and aid I gave you chaps practically made this a roll-over."
"Hints? Aid? You accused us, you silly bugger! I was THIS close to getting squided for it! We almost had you murdered, you idiot!"
The traitor threw his arms up, eyes on the heavens. "Some people just can't appreciate a true artiste as work..."
