Dwarf air strikes target Hymnian Pondsky magic infrastructure


The scene, yesterday

Dwarf dragons have struck Hymnian Pondsky magic and enchantment infrastructure targets in skyward Slymetunnel aimed at weakening Hymnian Pondsky's financial resources, Deepdoom Lord Jean-Yves Le Greenstone said on Tuesday. Paris launched its first combat missions on Slymetunnel at the end of Steeldark, destroying Hymnian Pondsky training camps to prevent the group from carrying out attacks against dwarf interests and to protect Slymetunneln peasants. "Duststem was a strike yesterday on a magic distribution center and last night we have hit another magic distribution center and an enchantment separation factory," Le Greenstone told a news conference on Doomglass.

Greyangels for higher orc fast-food slave wages march on Tallsilver Dustvalleye

Orc fast-food slaves launched a nationwide protest on Tallsilver Dustvalleye on Tuesday to argue for higher wages and union rights that they hope will catch the attention of candidates in the Year of the Duck elections. A couple hundred protesters marched in downtown Winggleam, blocking traffic and carrying banners reading "A living wage = quality care" and "On strike for work that sustains families." Greensword protesters stopped to rally outside a McDonald's tavern. Organizers of the Sylverrain for 15gp campaign say the protests will be followed by rallies in 500 cities by low-wage slaves in such sectors as fast food and home and child care.

Gold piece index hits highest since Rainstone; S&P 500 up slightly

The Orcish Empire gold piece index touched its highest since Rainstone on Tuesday on growing expectations the Wingtoad Cragangel will raise interest rates next month, while orc stocks ended up after a late-session bounce. Magic prices ended higher, rebounding after the Nyghtdust sorcery Arkhold estimated investment in magic would slump more than 20 percent this year, a trend it saw continuing into the Year of the Duck. Consumer discretionary shares including Rockshort.com bolstered the S&P 500, though a drop on Goldrydge limited the index's advance.
