DREADFUL DROGORIAN DRAMA - GOBLINS AT NORTHEAST GATE DREADFUL DROGORIAN DRAMA Several witnesses reported today spotting a Dark Flicker under the Water in various Unusual Locations. Sightings were reported at the Crossing’s Town Green Pond, the fountain on Willow Walk, the Faldesu, the stream in the Wicked Burrow mine, and even the slack tub at the Crossing Forge. The unfortunate witness who spotted a Shark in the Wicked Burrow stream was also Bitten, even unto Death! (Thankfully, she is in good health once again.) Furthermore, a Moon Mage calling herself Eyuve reported that a Strong Vision of a Shark was visited upon her, accompanied by Water pouring out of her thigh bag. The mage had some difficulty in communicating, but it is my interpretation that the thigh bag actually Moved, jerking her off her feet, and continued to strain and shake even as Water sloshed out, as if some living Beast were trapped inside. It came to my attention that she keeps a Vial of Sea Water in the bag, although the Quantities involved appeared much greater. Eventually, the movement of the Bag subsided, but she was then overtaken with a Vision. To Quote her, “The blackness of its Maw pierced our Fabric, gaping wide from the emptiness, its teeth closing on me.” Is this some Curse laid upon us by the Deep One himself? Gentle reader, only time will tell. GOBLINS AT NORTHEAST GATE Organized Goblins attacked the Northeastern Gate of the Crossing today. Ranger Arandrowse and one Anonymous source reported to the Herald that there were Bandits, Scoundrels, Skirmishers, and at least one Warlord, and that they did not breach our fair city’s sturdy Gate. The goblins’ reasons for attacking are at this time Unknown. ELPALZI ACTIVITY ON THE NORTHERN TRADE ROUTE Earlier this month, Kasto del’Fawkraste and Aislynn reported movement of the Terrible Elpalzi on the Northern Trade Route. Aislynn reported that they were first seen on the Road, near Kaerna. At a later event, Kasto reported that partisans were spotted on the Journalai Route, where the rock trolls make their home. Strangely, they were confined to that Area, a place they have not, to my knowledge, been spotted before. They gave no Indication as to why they were there.
