Old Ruins Of Guk- NagaThin Industries began distribution here of their
Muffins N' Milk product last night. NagaThin products are widely popular
other parts of Norrath for it's high protein and low fat content. "It was
very successful" said Mr. Tszaaz E'Taurguin, CEO of NagaThin Industries,
"People were literally dying to get them". Pressed further Mr. E'Taurguin
admitted that one single person bought 80% of the inventory but that they
did in fact die trying to get them.

Part of the popularity was the low price. "We wanted to get a feeling for
the actual needs of the marketplace so we priced them at 1pp for 20 to
remove any reticence over price." said Mr. E'Taurguin, "Due mostly to
transportation costs as well as some risk of loss of life in distribution I
believe the market price will settle around 3pp for 20 of either the Muffins
or Milk products."

Platinum was not the only gain from this marketing trial, upon arrival Mr.
E'Taurguin let it be known that as a one time offer, Shin Gauntlets were
also acceptable as payment. Within minutes a beaming druid was receiving her
case of NagaThin Milk, "this is going to be great during downtimes" she
perked, "and when people see me drinking Naga they are going to be happy to
offer next in the loot order for a bottle of their own". Clearly a loyal
customer, but was it really worth the gauntlets? "duh" she snorted, "water
is so last week, my friends and I are the NagaThin Generation".

Beginning distribution was not without it's dangers. Mr. E'Taurguin, a Bard
by training was not entirely welcomed by the locals "I have had some
unfriendly dealings with Frogluks in the past, and upon arriving they made
it clear they were ready and willing to attack me. But being a Bard I sang
myself invisible and while short shout messages look unnervingly like the
'you feel yourself starting to appear' message, everything went fine.". At
the end of the event Mr. E'Taurguin stumbled upon the winning solution
however: "I began to regret my former dealings with the Frogluk people and
was pondering what I could do to raise their consideration of me. Then it
hit me, I felt like an idiot I hadn't thought of it sooner". Playing upon
the lack of deep seated hatred towards him by the Frogluks, Mr. E'Taurguin
quickly called upon the NagaThin's Music Director Cinda Beemer who Mr.
E'Taurguin describes as "a great asset to our marketing efforts". Singing
Ms. Beemer's jingle "Charismatic Carillon" the Frogluks stopped attacking
Mr. E'Taurguin, and while they still considered him as threatening, they did
not act upon their feelings "good enough for me" said Mr. E'Taurguin "there
is just nothing like good marketing".

NagaThin Industries is a privately owned company who is expected by analysts
to make an Initial Public Offering within the year. After the Old Ruins Of
Guk success, says Freeport Based Analyst Ton Twostring "This is a company
to watch, very hot property, we are all somewhat frustrated they are not
seeking venture capitol".
