Vol. 9 No. 3
~ Attacks on Freeport ~
A number of high-way man style attacks have been carried out by the Dark Elves on the citizens of
| Freeport. These marauders, believed to be from the outlying areas in the Commonlands and from the forest of Nektulos have been robbing and murdering anyone that they see. Residents of Freeport are advised to avoid traveling if possible and use caution when they must use the roads. The Freeport guards
|
| are doing what they can to protect the citizens, however, these attacks have targeted them as well, and citizens are being asked to be wary while the guard organizes the city's defenses.
Tarn, a Dwarven merchant with a shop in the Commonlands, has this to
| say of these recent developments:
"By Brell's beard, it was bad news. I was opening up me shop one morning and I heard a ruckus, shouting and clanging and the lot. So I stuck my noggin outside to have m'self a look and wouldn't you know, those despicable inkies
|
| were after us! I seen 'em out there, maybe ten, fifteen of 'em all armed t' the teeth with savage looks in 'eir eyes. Was a horrible sight, and me, well, I knew better than to hang around and let some inkie stick a sword in me rump. No sir, I'm not too proud to say that I closed up shop right quick and
| took t' the city. Not all did like me though, I'm afraid."
"I hear old Garen the innkeeper wasn't so lucky. His inn got torched! All tha' fine ale he had stashed away, burned to the ground and gone, jus' like that! They should order all Freeport residents back
|
| behind the gates if'n you ask me, no sense in hanging out there and getting butchered by the inkies."
Rumor has it that the Paladins from the Temple of Marr will be forming up to put an end to these attacks, but we were unable to verify this story. We have also not heard the
| official statement from the Freeport Militia. We will let you know as soon as more information is available.
~ Irongut Reigning Champion at Ale Drinking Contest ~
For the fifth straight year, Slaxe Irongut wins the "How much ale can you
|
| drink in one gulp" contest, held annually in one of the Kaladim Taverns. This year it was hosted by Grim Brightforge's Ale Keg, which is widely known for serving the finest ale in the Butcherblock Mountains. Irongut was unable to communicate with more than grunts and gestures following the contest, but
| we were able to catch up with one of the other contestants, Gorlith Stonebeard.
"Man, that Irongut always wins this 'ere competition. I dunno how 'e does it. It's madness I tell yas. The old dwarf gulped down three o' Grim's biggest mugs at once! I ain' ne'er
|
| see tha' a'fore in me 'ole life! Ah well, there's always next year, aye? Well, back t' me ale before someone drinks 'er!"
