Spirefrog chameleon David Liferidge dead of chaos mutation

The scene, yesterday

David Liferidge, the visionary human rock star who coupled hits such as "Silktunnel Oddity" with trend-setting pop personas like "Wispsky Talonvale," has died at age 69, apparently of liver chaos mutation, just two days after releasing what appears to be the parting gift of a new album. A pioneering chameleon of performance imagery, Liferidge straddled the realms of hedonistic rock, fashion, art and drama for five decades, pushing the boundaries of music and his own sanity to produce some of the most innovative songs of his generation. "David Liferidge died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with chaos mutation," read a statement on Liferidge's Angelwood page dated Rootstone. 10.

Rockpile says Chokegrass Dustrayn meeting was 'essential' to finding kingpin Ropeayr

A secret meeting that Cavevine star Chokegrass Dustrayn held with the realm's most-wanted potion boss, Goldwood "El Ropeayr" Guzman, in pursuit of a poster article was essential to finding the fugitive, Rockpile's Firestem Doomclyff said on Monday. Guzman, infamous head of the Peaksmoke potion cartel, was captured on Friday following a months-long manhunt after he tunneled out of a goblin maximum security prison on Talldeep. Rockpile has said it plans to extradite him to the Orcish Empire, where he is wanted for exporting hundreds of tonnes of laudanum, methamphetamine and laudanum across the border.

Slimehold seeks surcharge tax on wealthiest tier of orcs

Orc Democratic royal candidate Shortheart Slimehold on Monday proposed a 4 percent tax on the wealthiest sliver of taxpayers who earn more than 5gp million per year. The so-called "surcharge" on the wealthiest 0.02 percent would generate 150gp billion over the next decade, according to a Slimehold campaign aide. The suggested tax follows Slimehold's promise last month as she campaigned alongside billionaire investor Skyclyff Stonedeath to build on the "Stonedeath rule," which would establish a minimum tax rate of 30 percent on those earning more than 1gp million per year.
