PLAGUE!
By Stewy "What's Libel?" Desowits
Sundren City authorities report that new cases of the plague are down from 6 to 5.98 today, allowing citizens to take one breath of relief after holding it in for so long in fear of a deadly, rumored to be divine plague that has incapacitated much of the city.
When asked for comment, Balthasar rudely indicated his time would be better spent assisting those affected by this crisis. Balthasar's refusal to answer questions and instead do his job leads this reporter to ask: what's he hiding?
Elsewhere, vocal callers claiming the end times have begun shouting their message in the trade district streets. A minor scuffle is also rumored to have taken place at the Exigo Trading Post, where two such callers lost their lives to the hands of a playful, wand wielding fairy--though contradictory reports claim it was to a Hin menace known only as "Speedy."
Elsewhere still, many a tavern are buzzing with the news that the Triumvirate may yet hold a cure to the plague, despite adamant denials by every member interviewed. A wizard wearing green robes was reported as selling lumpy, black potions with the consistency of tar for the deadly disease at the city jail, though no tests to verify the potion were attempted by any of the Triumvirate. One wonders: do they really want to cure this plague?
Caspar went on record to insist that the Triumvirate does not possess a cure; his confession proving to be either an admission to their ignorance, ineptitude, and inability to help in this matter, or a flat out lie. When further pressed on the issue of cures being distributed to nobles while the commoners suffered, Caspar grew very red and angry, proving unequivocally that Paladins can indeed blow their top. This reporter whole heartedly believes that Caspar is caving under the stress and moral decay that comes from denying the common man a cure it desperately needs.

JAIL BREAK
By Lucy Lawless
At three hours after midnight last evening, a daring jail break occurred at the Sundren City Jail. Kemnebi Shadeweaver, whose terrible crimes include the murder of a prominent Helmite Paladin, managed to escape solitary confinement and flee the facility. 4 guards were killed during the escape, and 3 were injured.
Warden Grish took a moment to comment on the event, saying, "This terrible, unfortunate event occurred because the city has refused to fund this facility, and its hard working employees, fairly and adequately. We are forced to make due with average supplies and equipment, while those Everwatch Knights parade around in gleaming armor. This would not have happened if the city had granted our request for a larger budget, and I'm quite certain they'll see the error of their ways now. Still, with a diminished set of guardsman, we will do everything in our power to return the escapee to justice."
A witness who wishes to remain anonymous in fear of his life declared that the escapee left the back door of the prison wearing a guard uniform, accompanied by a man wearing all black. That same witness, Perrow Tallgood of 54 Pennydabble Lane, indicated he would be happy to help identify those that aided in the jailbreak under the condition of anonymity.
Authorities warn that Kemnebi Shadeweaver is extremely dangerous. A reward of 50,000 gold pieces has been offered for his return, alive. Authorities commented off the record that barely alive was fine, too.

Vampires: Fact of Fiction?
By Dill "Pickle" Shrumper
Rictor von Hellsway, renowned undead hunter or perhaps all around crazy man, has been cautioning citizens that vampires are out to get us. The odd accented foreigner claims that two "fledgling" vampires have been found, and destroyed, and warns more are likely hiding in the shadows, under our beds, and ready to suck our blood.
