You enter the Rouge Leprechaun Camp but to your surprise, find it completely empty and in a total shambles. Tents are tossed, campfires are cold, even the rainbow which previously shot majestically up into the sky is gone. Moments pass as this all settles in, before you shrug your shoulders and set to hunting for evidence of any left-behind loot and Moolah that could be hiding in the wreckage.

Behind you... well, in front of you now... stands a leprechaun you've never seen before. He's short, of course, and generally leprechaunish in appearance, but some of his characteristics suggest that he may not be entirely sane. It might be his creepy grin, or perhaps the fact that his eyes are rolling wildly and pointing in different directions. Or maybe it's the drool hanging in foamy ropes from his lips.
 
 
 
Any traces of doubt you may have had are removed as he begins to rant, and you realise he's so crazed that he's completely lost his Dyrish brogue, and is speaking so you can understand him perfectly!
 
 
 
"It was you that came here and took all our stuff!" he screams, "You and those bloody rabid pilatipu... platiup... pilatypi... stupid duck-billed rodents!!! You will pay my fine friend! Oh yes! PAY YOU WILLl! My brethren will rise up and take what they deserve! May Saint Patrick leave you broke as a joke. Upon you I leave a curse in which the truth lies."
 
 
 
"I, LEPRE CON, CURSE YOU!!" He cackles madly as he spins in a wink and darts off, his curse hanging in the air behind him.... "UTOPIAS OF LOYAL ROLL!"
 
 
 
Uh... yeah. Whatever that means. You scratch your head as he quickly disappears in the distance. That was weird.
 
 
 
His words begin to haunt you as start to wander off. Obviously the little dude is completely bonkers, but still, you can't help feeling that today is not going to be an ordinary day.

The Rouge Leprechaun Camp remains utterly diddly-deeserted.
 
 
 
You kick over an empty iron pot, which you suspect at one time was overflowing with gold. The pot rolls away and settles upon a pile of useless, mutilated shamrocks. You take a step forward, knocking over a nearby half-empty bottle of green beer. The remaining green goodness slowly dribbles away into the dirt.
 
 
 
You feel like someone's looking at you, but it's just a pack of smelly old rats, who look up at you with their beady little eyes and twitch their noses in your general direction before returning to their feasting on the remains of some potatoes and black pudding.
 
 
 
There really doesn't seem to be much point hanging around.

Is It a Sham?

April Fool's Day 2011 started with an important code update Gobberwart implemented just before midnight and announced to everyone in this forum post that he would be doing game maintenance. Shortly after this update the Rouge Leprechaun Camp showed up in The Outskirts of Town but this was not the ordinary Rogue Leprechaun Camp.

The Day After

Diddly Gotcha (Maybe)!

The Rouge Leprechaun Camp is gone from the Outskirts of Town, taking with it the leprechauns who "stole" all your stuff. We won't be giving you anything back, because nothing ever actually got stolen. Duh!

We will, however, be giving you this lovely sticker to say thanks for playing. It's been fun as always.

You gain 1 LepreCON sticker.
