Surface dwelling "smoke breathing, fire spitting iron monsters roaming the countryside at will" are bad enough, but now we have subterranean monsters burrowing at will and making underground lairs.
House prices will fall, healing crystals be drained of their magic, children thrown from their beds, historic churches will collapse, Ley lines disrupted, and misery will crowd the land.
Large rivers seem unlikely to be fully drained, but floods and droughts will worsen and newt ponds be drained.
The false energy fields of the burrowing iron monsters will entice whales and other marine mammals to their deaths, as happened last week.
The afternoon will be sunny with occasional showers and a sufficiency of port.
Yesterday afternoon WAS sunny and with the odd shower. A sufficiency of port was available, but none was consumed, beer only.
