RumorMill Front Page: 'Local Man Ruins Everything'

Post by Alex »

This evening in Drache, at approximately 1600hrs local time, the residence of Lucius von Stahl was the target of a terrorist attack. The initial explosion collapsed much of the building upon itself. The second explosion, which took place some minutes later, set the wreckage on fire and spread the destruction to the nearby area, consuming most, if not all, of the first responders. A figure of black bone and frost was later observed quenching the flames with frost magic. This figure was later identified as Ravynetti Tivaurd.

Minutes later, the body of Lucius von Stahl was found hanging from the top of the Clocktower, which had been rigged to ring repeatedly, likely to draw attention. Upon Ravynetti Tivaurd's review of the location, it was determined that Shuunen, former owner of the Lucky Nomad and known scoundrel, was responsible for the attack. A search was carried out, both on the street and in the sewer system, where it was suspected that he had rigged additional explosives. No such explosives were located.

Four hours later, a large explosion of poisonous green gas, flames, and cats was observed in the Back Alley District. Its cause is still under investigation, although it was clearly magical in nature.

It is with great sadness that we, the people of Drache, not only mourn the loss of Captain Lucius von Stahl, who served the city and the Crown with distinction for years, but also all of the innocent lives lost, including the strange, yet-unexplained incident at the Safe Harbor Home for Wayward Children in the Back Alley District.

Citizens are strongly advised to report all suspicious activity to the Royal Guard for investigation. Shuunen is to be considered heavily armed and extremely dangerous. He is also suspected to be working with Idelle Habri, his wife, and Noire Delaney, a private citizen.
