Saint Bastian Heals Boarskyr's Bridge of Plague!!!
- On the 13th day of Uttar, a great concert was held in the Marketplace of
- this small trading town. All citizens were brought into the range of the
- Munificence of Bastian, formerly just a local bard, now the saviour of
- thousands.
- This reporter saw literally hundreds of the sick, the crippled, the injured,
- and the infirm brought into the presence of the Great One, who, by the power
- of the gods, healed all instantly.
V'Tar Hires Bards and Bands???
- In a somewhat surprising twist, V'Tar hired the entire Bards Guild to play
- music during the plague. In another twist, the crowds gathered to worship
- the gods through Saint Bastian's ministry booed, jeered, and otherwise
- discouraged all of the Paladin's attempts at distractions from the healing
- services. A larger than average number of reports of missing valuables were
- turned in following the secular concerts.
- Fortunately, Saint Bastian's Healing Service had the services of the
- Brotherhood of Faith-Healers to control pickpockets and vagabonds.
Lizardman Army Wiped Out
- On their way to help their relatives in their war against the detestable
- Yuan-Ti, an army of over 400 brave Lizardmen were attacked and devastated by
- dragons! In the ensuing rout of their formerly proud martial array, the
- high-priestess T'Less was carried away.
- Harried and driven, less than fourscore weary, wounded, and dispirited
- veterans of the debacle crawled back to Boarskyr's Bridge. Seeking shelter,
- healing, and food, the poor Lizardmen were assigned quarters in the
- burned-out warehouse district.
Dragon Attacks Boarskyr's Bridge!!
- Following the Lizardman Army survivors, a hideous black dragon attacked the
- town. Dozens of brave guardsmen, standing firm in spite of the Dragon Fear,
- were cut down where they stood, vainly attempting with their last full
- measure of devotion to save the town they love. In another astounding
- change of place, V'Tar and Associates, instead of running out to fight
- phantoms, actually attempted to stand toe-to-toe with the nightmarish beast.
- After watching the brave Guardsmen giving their all, recognizing that normal
- weapons were of no avail against this spawn of evil, V'Tar and Associates
- jumped into action. Among their heroic actions: a flying priest breathed
- fire at the dragon, a thief attempted to save some elves made homeless by
- the creatures tail, another priest tried lightning and other magics, and a
- gnome attempted to freeze the lizardbane in flight.
- While this journal decries the barbarity of the attack, and offers sincere
- sympathy to the victims and their families, it must be noted that the
- tragedies visited upon this innocent center of commerce seem to be a direct
- cause and effect relationship to the actions of V'Tar and Associates in
- stirring up trouble. While we do not believe the Paladin and her Pals
- actively seek the destruction of innocents, it should be noted they have a
- history of bringing mayhem, death, and dismay on those who support them.
