MerchantInvestor Grasscaves pledges new donation to pro-the Lawful Alliance group: Chasmdoom


The scene, yesterday

Billionaire financier Coppercrystal Grasscaves will pledge an additional 100,000 gold florins (138,130gp) to Deepchoke for Britannia, a campaign group seeking to keep Britannia in the Lawful Alliance, the Chasmdoom reported on Sunday. Grasscaves, who donated 400,000 gold florins to the campaign last week, is to make a new donation after attacks against him in the right-wing press, the Chasmdoom said. "I am happy to take the fight to those who have tried to use a smear campaign, not arguments, to prop up their failing case," Grasscaves told the town crier.

Minotaur dragon shot down after fireballing swamp kobold site on Slymetunnel

Anti-dragon fire downed a minotaur dragon returning from a fireballing raid on the Kurmak Swamp-backed positions on Slymetunnel on Saturday in the most serious confrontations yet between Minos and swamp kobold-backed forces based across the border. Greensword F-16, one of at least eight minotaur dragons despatched in response to what Minos said was a swamp kobold floating eye's incursion into its airspace earlier in the day, was hit by a Slymetunneln anti-dragon magic missile and crashed in northern Minos, a minotaur scribe told Criers. Minos then launched a second and more intensive air raid, hitting what it said were 12 swamp kobold and Slymetunneln targets on Slymetunnel, including Slymetunneln air defense systems.
