       The Crazy Old Wizard, some call him Old Snickerdoodle, extends
       his thanks to those who helped provide him with some of the
       ingredients for his latest enchantment.  He promises that the
       favors that he owes those who have helped him will be
       forthcoming and that the portion of the enchanted item will be
       available to those who assist him within a month of the
       collection of the final ingredient.
       Vlad the Black Clad of Clan Ladd was challenged to an honor duel
       by Gilliam Longlance in order for the latter to petition for
       rank.  Gilliam defeated Vlad in a fair and honorable duel.
       Immediately after the duel, but not before Squire Tetsuyo could
       bring Vlad back to health through use of a potion, a group of
       assassins sprang from the surrounding area to attempt to capture
       Vlad.  The gang was repelled by the combined efforts of Vlad,
       his squire, and the Hoplites.  Vlad identified them as the same
       group that had killed his dad Chad the Glad of Clan Ladd and his
       uncle Brad the Mad of Clan Ladd.  Vlad also agreed to teach the
       Hoplites some of his rarer skills as payment for helping save
       his life.
       The local kobold population was able to vent their anger
       resulting from actions taken by some of the local adventurers.
       The biggest and strongest of the kobold population came to the
       arena to square off with the adventuring population.  Five
       contestants killed a total of seven of the kobolds with the
       winner of the event being Squire Tetsuyo.  Among the other
       participants were Squire de Montdesir and Guard Captain
       Fletchmann.
       Immediately after the events of the arena, a huge glowing ball
       was seen in the sky.  The Amazing Criswell rushed into the
       center of the arena declaring that the Crashing Doom had finally
       arrived.  Most of the onlookers headed for cover but Squire
       Tetsuyo and another of the contestants stayed with Criswell for
       what has been variously reported as “The Transference” and “The
       Transvergence.”  The two collapsed as Criswell performed some
       sort of ritual and later reported that a part of their souls had
       been absorbed by the beings in the meteor.  Additionally,
       now-Guard Captain Fletchmann attempted to stand in the way of
       the meteor to disrupt its descent.  His efforts failed as the
       meteor smashed through the upper middle sixth of the city and
       left a long scar through the farmlands before coming to a rest.
       The meteor was recovered and brought to Altes Youghan who found
       that it was inhabited by about 100 strange beetles.  Some were
       collected by adventurers while others were killed as they
       attempted to escape the area.  The meteor was then taken to the
       new dwarven smith in town where it will be split up and given to
       the barony to help fund the rebuilding efforts and split among
       those who recovered it.  A number of adventurers have stepped
       forward to help work or fund the rebuilding.
       Bob the Brewer managed to get the Order of Salem to look into
       his newly acquired brewery.  The group came upon a large group
       of rats which they managed to whittle down.  They also ran into
       a mage who seemingly commanded the rats.  The mage threw up a
       number of wall spells to protect himself causing the group to
       cut their losses and leave.  Bob told the group that he didn’t
       think the guy was a big deal so didn’t think to warn the group.
       Altes Youghan would like to thank Squire Tetsuyo and Guard
       Captain Fletchmann for tracking down his missing spellbook.  The
       thief is now serving a prison sentence to atone for his crimes
       against the Wizard.
       A family of adventurers ran into a hunting couple of panthers
       that laid in ambush of travelers.  There efforts made for safer
       travel in these difficult times.  The group also ran into a
       Ravid which they attempted to restrain but were unable to figure
       out its purpose in the area before it slipped its bonds and
       fled.
       The much talked about Unicorn Farm was visited by the Order of
       Salem and some of their associates.  The group entered the tent
       to find only a few unicorns.  The man in charge claimed that the
       rest of the unicorns were just invisible at the time.  He
       offered to let the group pet or whip the creatures for an
       additional fee.  It was discovered that the “unicorns” were in
       fact old horses with fake horns glued on.  The man fled and the
       guard was called.  He was tracked down and arrested for fraud
       and is serving a prison sentence.
       The barony would like to extend a thanks to the Battlewise
       Hoplites for helping guard the large hole in the wall overnight.
       A small raid party of bugbears, a pack of dire bats, and a
       couple of large beetles that erupted from the sewers tried to
       make trouble for the town but were quickly dispatched by the
       disciplined phalanx.
       Come morning, Tarox awoke to find that the sun had apparently
       not risen.  In fact, the sky appeared to be merely void with no
       stars or moon in sight.  The confusion of the city was cut with
       cries from Lord Barton’s residence crying out that the baron’s
       daughter had been kidnapped.  The tracks were followed to a
       known entrance to the Underdark which had been collapsed.  Upon
       attempting to clear the collapse, dark spirits emerged from the
       walls to attack the adventurers.  It has been reported that all
       known entrances to the Underdark are in a similar state.
