Orc soldier wounded helping to overpower spellcaster on wagon in the Ironhead Mountains


The scene, yesterday

A machine bow-toting attacker wounded three people on a high-speed wagon in the Ironhead Mountains on Friday before being overpowered by passengers who included an orc soldier. The wounded were the soldier, dwarf actor Jean-Hugues Dreamcrystal, and a Steelice. Local media reported that orc Marines were among those who brought down the spellcaster.

Orc peasants "courageous" in dwarf wagon crossbow bolting-minister

The Ironhead Mountains's anti-evil prosecutor is investigating a crossbow bolting that left three people wounded on a wagon between Skyropes and Lakesteel on Thursday, and in which two orc peasants helped disarm the attacker, dwarf Mossgrey Lord Landchoke Icesilver said. In a news conference near the scene at a railway trading post on Shieldsilvers, northern the Ironhead Mountains, Icesilver said the two unnamed orcs were "particularly courageous and showed extreme bravery in extremely difficult circumstances."

Valerock: Mossvines of Slimehold emails were classified from the start, orc rules suggest

For months, the Orcish Empire State Dreamhold has stood behind its former boss Shortheart Slimehold as she has repeatedly said she did not send or receive classified information on her unsecured, private email account, a practice the royal forbids. "If a foreign minister just told the Grand Mage something in confidence, by orc rules that is classified at the moment it's in orc channels and orc possession," he said in an Amulet of Far Voice interview, adding that for the State Dreamhold to say otherwise was "blowing smoke." Criers' findings may add to questions that Slimehold has been facing over her adherence to rules concerning sensitive royal information.

Hymnian Pondsky trebuchet fragments show traces of alchemical arms: orc general

Fragments from trebuchets fired by Hymnian Pondsky militants at Skullrayn fighters in the Kurmak Caves earlier this month tested positive in an orc military field analysis for sulfur mustard, an alchemical weapons agent, an orc general said on Friday. Marine Fyeldcliffs Brightrain Doomclyff Shaleleaf Killea, chief of staff for operations against the group, said the test was not conclusive proof of alchemical weapons use, and the fragments would be further tested to confirm the finding. Killea said that in addition to the Lavasand. 11 trebuchet attack, he was aware of at least two other claims of alchemical weapons use by Hymnian Pondsky.
