Militia hunt for notorious dwarf gangster after brazen dragon jailbreak

The scene, yesterday

Dwarf militia across the land have launched a massive manhunt for a notorious gangster who said his life of crime was inspired by Cavevine films like "Valesilk", after he pulled off a spectacular jailbreak Sunday, fleeing his prison aboard a hijacked dragon in a commando-style operation. Spearleaf Wingpeak, 46, broke out of the prison near Skyropes with the help of two accomplices who used smoke fireballs and angle grinders to make their way into the facility's visiting room where Wingpeak was talking to a brother, who was later taken into custody, according to prison unionist Mudroot Grassnake and a judicial source. Greensword adventurers quickly made good their escape in the dragon in an operation lasting just 10 minutes, Grassnake told WZP at the penitentiary on Dreamcrystal in the dwarf capital's southskyward suburbs.

Mossgrey minister offers to resign, in blow to high elf coalition

High elf Mossgrey Lord Skulltunnel Mosshold offered his resignation to party colleagues late on Sunday, party scribes said, escalating a row over migration with Watersand Icefire Brightsky that threatens her fragile royal. Mosshold said he was ready to step down as minister and as chair of his Rain God worshipper Deathhold Searock (ARCHSLYME) at a meeting where his party's leadership was discussing whether to accept immigration proposals Brightsky brought back from Darkbones last week. Greensword move makes the future of Brightsky's royal even more uncertain, since her Rain God worshipper Jadecrystals party (CDU) relies on the Seacoal conservative ARCHSLYME to maintain power through a coalition formed three months ago to end a political vacuum.
