…to our precious City because of all this digging, I honestly swear to God we wil dine bats that evening. Very special kind of bats…
For starters, it was that fleabag, I mean, ex-mayor, that awoke the Pigs. Masters are actually terrified of this (half the Tragedy Procedures are to do with Pigs), and are in damage control mode.
Though I won’t be surprised if we’re digging out lacre reservoirs, and the next is liquidification of London.
Revolutionaries will be ecstatic, since the chaos allows them to oust the Masters and Bazaar, destroy the city and drown everyone who will not support them.
At the moment I believe the most plausible catastrophic outcome is an invasion of an undead army composed of brass-headed skeletons. I just can’t imagine what else will the Theologian do with all the hundreds and thousands of skeletons that people sell to him for bisquits.
I keep hearing about those pigs, but I have no idea of who or what they are. Can anyone fill me in?[/quote]
Supposedly deep lore of the game.
Long story short: Bazaar is a messenger for stars, and it uses symbiotes to travel the distances - Stone Pigs. While it’s currently sitting squat in the Neath, the Pigs are drugged into sleep with lacre. If they are to wake up, it’ll be a very bad thing, so bad that whole city would be made into lacre to make them dormant again.
While they are sleeping, they’re present in Parabola (like almost everything else), and Fingerkings occasionally rummage in their memories for secrets. Now, our noble fleabag got a bright idea to do this too, and in the process she stirred them awake (either she got pissy that Londoners do not march under her banner at once, or the whole thing was to get closer to Pigs’ dreams in the first place). That’s why she high-tailed from London and now hides in Parabola, because Masters really don’t like dealing with the Pigs.
Well, I can certainly see why FBG doesn’t want to run any more elections, at least.

Well, at least FB may have an idea for a surprise Halloween event next year. Having courted the favour of both Khorne and Nagash, the Necromantic Theologian sends his unliving brass legions to kidnap the Boatman and Fathomking so that he can have a monopoly on all dead bodies in the Neath. Next year, we’ll all have to die repeatedly to raid his fortress perched on the border between life and death in harrowing parody of Inanna’s descent into the underworld-treating with the disgruntled, disposed powers of death and retrieving valuable souls who offer alternative rewards/advantages to the war effort.

Just happened. The Stone Pigs awaken.
And that was the fleabag that awoke them, while the Clearing Out was a distraction (info unlocked by being Mr Cards, from HD ambition).
Not entirely a distraction. They were looking for something, which they did not find in time.

Plausible, but how do you know that?
And we really hustled–we dug all the sites out in barely 9 days!
Are you saying that Mr Irons may have been lying? Why?
