    "When Entertaining News Is More Important Than Accuracy"

    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.

    Rictor von Hellsway, renowned undead hunter or perhaps all around crazy man, has been cautioning citizens that vampires are out to get us.

      "So Kemnebi has finally escaped. Perhaps now I can see him suffer the fate he deserves. Imprisonment was far too ... generous."

        "Damn, I was just going to discuss the deplorable security at the jail with Cadmus. I was even going to put up some of my own stags in order to better equip the jailors. I definitely didn't want Kemnebi to escape!"

          At Sunny Spindels, Salisse looks at the paper, scanning over it. She pauses at certain articles to fully read them, then shrugs, and puts the paper back to where it was.

              Nastasia walks through the Trade Tier in Sundren when a brief gust blows an abandoned newspaper into her. After peeling it off her face she scans over the articles, giggling at some of them and making a disgusted face at others. She then carries the paper to a trash bin and tosses it in before leaving the city.

                Peppington Merrifefferlis pulls the discarded paper from the rubbish bin and straightens it out. Settling himself on a bench he peruses the paper until he comes to the article about the breakout, upon where his mouth gapes. He can be seen to mouth the name "Perrow Tallgood" as he subtley tears out a small section of the article and shoves into a pocket in his robes.

                Looking around he quickly tears out the article on 'Sundren Fashion Week' and hastily pushes this into his pocket as well.

                  Maleth picks up a ragged, discarded copy of the paper while moving through the back alleys of Sundren. Scanning the paper he stops to read the story of Kemnebi Shadeweaver. He quickly finishes the story, ripping the section out and placing it in one of his many belt pouches.

                  Moving out of the alleys and into the street he walks at a brisk pace intent on locating more information concerning this man.
