Fromage et Cie cheese makers has announced their latest cheeses for the market. With a new smelly cheese that is reportedly even smellier than the Fromage Vert et Blancs, which was reportedly the smelliest cheese ever made. The new cheese the Fromage Cheval Blanc is a semi hard cheese with a hard non edible rind, that conceals a cream and blue interior.

The Cheval Blanc cheese has, what is kindly described as, a “delightfully pungent, yet enticing aroma, redolent of spice, old leather, Durian, and corpse flower”. The cheese is said to go very well with crackers, or can be put on toasted bits of crusty bread. One reviewer said: “Once you get past the gag reflex, this is a really tasty cheese, that once you have eaten it, like a masochist you want to go back for some more.” Another said: “Like going back for a root canal without any pain meds, this cheese just draws you back for one more bite.”

Their other cheeses are the Cold creek cheese, a white cheddar like hard cheese that has a delightful smell and taste, and the soft Blancs et Blanc cheese which is a Camembert like cheese that is perfect for a cheese dish. Once more Fromage et Cie has proven to be master cheese makers on Esperanza, with their offerings being popular across the subsector. However both the Fromage Vert et Blancs, and the new Fromage Cheval Blanc, by law must be shipped in a hermetically sealed container, and opened by people in full environmental suits.

However both the Fromage Vert et Blancs, and the new Fromage Cheval Blanc, by law must be shipped in a hermetically sealed container, and opened by people in full environmental suits.

The excessive gap between the flavor & aroma is quite amusing. Transportation for the cheeses looks like a slapstick comedy just waiting to happen.

Lastly, the last sentence is a great punchline for the whole post.

The Overlord of City State has issued a statement through his spokesman that two “recovery teams” from GeneCo have been found in their territory, and regrettably they have suffered extensive injuries from the “Elves” and “Dwarves” as well as other citizens and one customer at a bakery named Rondar, who took umbrage at their being present. The recovery teams have been shipped to Arkham Hospital where they are under guard, and will be executed per Arkham colony law.

When asked what happened, we were only told that one of the “recovery teams” had been at a tavern when a bar fight broke out, and they were bludgeoned by multiple customers who recognized them. The six members of this team were beaten severely, and then arrested by local constables who took them to a shuttle to Arkham since all GeneCo personnel are to be extradited to Arkham for trial and execution. The Overlord’s spokesman told us that per their treaty with Arkham, they and most other colonies on Dunwich turn over any GeneCo, Black Sun, or affiliated groups to Arkham.

The other team was at a bakery when a fight broke out over a disagreement about strawberries, specifically strawberry tarts of all things. One of the customers then took out all four members of the recovery team during a struggle over their purchase of the last of the strawberry tarts on the shelf. The bakery is famous for the quality of its baked goods, and is very popular with both locals and tourists.

The customer known as Rondar, was apparently a regular and liked strawberries. Words were exchanged over the tarts which led to the fight. Rondar was seen sitting on top of the groaning recovery team members eating their tarts. We are told that Rondar is an escaped heavy labor unit slave, who lives in the area, and gives blacksmith demonstrations where he picks up and carries his anvil around the arena.
