Hello helpful pandas,

As we have heard recently from the Bamboo Gazette, Carl Caruso has come up with a plan to get rid of Basepef once and for all! But he needs YOUR help!

We need all the bananas and pickles that you can find around the island. We need them all to be collected and brought to Carl Caruso who stands ready on the Castle terrace. There, he and Kamaria are brewing a special magical potion which will entice the evil sorcerer Basepef and hopefully lure him into a trap! 

So pandas, please collect as many as you can. Let’s work together to get rid of this evil power who has been terrorizing Panfu for weeks!

Hello Pandas!

Since we are investigative journalists we were snooping outside Kamaria’s chamber trying to listen in on a conversation between Carl Caruso and the oracle herself. (We didn’t dare go in ‘cos Kamaria is still mad at me for throwing water bombs at her and I’m a little tired of being electrocuted by her!)

Anyway, we couldn’t hear everything but we heard them discussing some sort of plan. We think it has something to do with Basepef and getting rid of him. We heard words like “trap” and “bananas”! We don’t know what bananas have to do with traps but it sure sounded interesting!

We were nearly caught snooping becase Ella suddenly had to sneeze (and she always sneezes so loud like an elephant!)

Oi! Max, no I don’t!  Anyway, I covered my nose and sneezed rather quietly and daintily, thank you very much. In fact, if Kamaria and Carl Caruso heard anything, they probably thought it was a little kitten passing by!

So, pandas, don’t tell Kamaria that we were spying! The plan sounds like it’s meant to be top secret! We’ll try to find out more information and report back to you. 

Keep your ears stiff and your eyes peeled!

Hello cool pandas! 

Sorry we were away for the last few days, we were a little busy playing all the new games in Panfu but now here we are!

So have you guys met Carl Caruso yet? He’s in Kamaria’s chamber.  Apparently he is preparing his battle against Basepef.  Let’s hope he’s as brave as his stories claim him to be.…

Speaking of brave…. have you thrown any water bombs at Kamaria lately? Well, it seems like she doesn’t like it!

You should have seen what she did to me when I threw one at her! Go check it out! That lady is in a baaaaaad mood!

Woah! Things are getting creepy in Panfu! Have you seen the weird looking thing in the jungle? You can read about it in the Bamboo Gazette. It’s actually the brash pirate Hein Hinrichsen who is a victim of some evil spell. He has been bewitched and wrapped up like a mummy by some evil force! 

Perhaps you’ve heard him calling out: “Help me! Help me!” Have you tried to help him yet?

Yes? Then you know that Kamaria has created an elixir to help transform him back into a pirate! 

I went to fetch the elixir from Kamaria’s chambers but the mummified-pirate kept asking for more. I must have made the trip back and forth from the castle tower to the jungle 34 times! My feet have blisters from all the running!

Yes Max, me too! I think Kamaria hasn’t been able to make the correct formula yet. Perhaps there is too little fish eyes and crow’s feet in the ingredients. Or maybe too much cat liver oil? I know the pirates were not very friendly when they first arrived in Panfu but we have to help them! After all it could be us pandas who get transformed into mummies next!

So pandas, have paitence and help the poor pirate.  Keep your ears stiff and beware of the evil force…

Hello all pandas!
This is Kamaria, your favourite Panfu oracle.

Today I have cast a spell on the whole of Panfu, making everybody
GOLD pandas!!

This is a secret just between you and me and the spell will only
last till 12am Central European Time, Friday, 3rd October 2008. 

So hurry up and try it out!!

Best wishes,

Kamaria

Hello pandas!

Kamaria is a very clever oracle and knows a lot about things we do not. That’s why we thought it would be good to hear her expert opinion about the events currently in question in Panfu. Yesterday we both went to Kamaria’s tower to bring you this exclusive interview:

Max: Kamaria, hello! Thank you for your time for this interview. We feel that you are probably the best person to speak to regarding all the strange events happening in Panfu.

Kamaria: Good day Ella and Max! It is my pleasure to be of help! Yes I have noticed that many pandas are feeling a little afraid or insecure since the pirates arrived in Panfu. I hope I can help.

Ella: Firstly, did the pirates actually bring this sarcophagus to Panfu?

Kamaria: Yes, but it was completely unintentional. I had warned them not to anchor their ship in those particular waters because I was afraid something like this would happen. Unfortunately, Captain Cod’s ship anchor dislodged something evil which found its way onto Panfu shores. I know from a secret source that the sarcophagus had been hidden under the seabed for almost 1000 years and hence no evil had come to Panfu…until now.

Max: What is the sarcophagus and where have the pirates disappeared?

Kamaria: The sarcophagus is a very old tomb from ancient Egypt and who ever was buried in it was feared even by the people in Egypt back then. That’s why it was captured and sunk in the sea. But the pirates have unintentionally, and rather foolishly, brought it to the surface again. I believe that the disappearance of Captain Cod and his crew has something to do with the sarcophagus. Their capsized vessel also appears to be related. In fact these entire events remind me of someone I once met….

Ella: Oh my goodness! This is quite serious and very scary! But you have a few magical powers, Kamaria! Can’t you do something against this evil force, what ever it is?

Kamaria: Of course, dear! I’m currently consulting my old magic books to try to find the right methods to use! So do not worry, Ella! As long as I’m in Panfu, the pandas will be safe against the evil force!

Max: Thank you, Kamaria! It is very reassuring to hear you say that. (Phew!) We will continue to keep our eyes and ears open. Panfu is still in danger and we must stick together in these turbulent times.

So pandas, be careful. Evil is lurking….

Hello pandas!

 Yesterday we reported on the pirate ship sighted on the coast of Panfu. Here is the latest developments:

 We have not yet managed to contact the ship, but we know that it can only be Captain Cod and his pirates on board that ship! — My uncle Hans confirmed  that the ship is really the world infamous brig “The Mosquito”! (He would know because he was kidnapped by that very ship, remember?)

The Pirates are not as bad as in ancient times, but still very uncomfortable companions! The great-great-great-great-grandfather of Captain Cod was also a pirate and in the old port is an old sailor who can tell you the story of him and how he once stole some rare Bollys.

 Apparently the pirates are anchored in a very dangerous spot in the sea, according to the oracle, Kamaria. She heard from her great- great-grandmother that there is a spirit of an evil witch buried there. If Captain Cod’s anchor disturbs this spirit, it could mean a lot of drama for Panfu!

Kamaria has tired to contact Capt. Cod and his crew but it is proving to be very difficult since they don’t have internet, telephone or mobile phones!

Until next time pandas, keep you ears stiff and watch that pirate ship! We cannot always be there to observe it!
