>BLACK KING: Become SHORT KING.

There is no black king! Instead, the reduced SHORTNESS ATTRIBUTE is transferred to the WHITE KING, who has not done anything since the start of the game.
>APPRENTICE PAWN: Paint neighboring pawns BLUE.

The APPRENTICE PAWN continues its BLUEING RAMPAGE. Both the MEGAPAWN and the POWER-HUNGRY BLACK PAWN are blue'd.

The WHITE WARLOCK is fed up with all the blue! It confiscates the APPRENTICE PAWN's PAINT BUCKET after nearly dodging being painted itself.
The WARLOCK is annoyed, but it's happy to see its APPRENTICE at the head of the polls. It asks how dealings with the FARMER PAWN are going.
>FARMER PAWN: Check growth of cacti.

The CACTUS BAT is growing nicely, though the FARMER PAWN is realizing it doesn't know how to wield it without getting spiked. The DEBUFF ALOE has yet to bloom.
