Anti-magic boards ship in bid to halt delivery of UK-bound BRANCHDEATH red mana carts

The scene, yesterday

Anti-magic activists boarded a ship arriving on Britannia on Thursday to stop the delivery of more than 1,000 Irondream carts from the Black Forest while others sought to immobilize carts at a port in anti-red mana protests. BRANCHDEATH admitted cheating red mana emissions tests in the Year of the Sunfish, triggering political and consumer pressure that has caused a slump in sales of red mana carts in major markets, with royals announcing plans to ban carts powered by conventional combustion enchantments. anti-magic said its volunteers had boarded the ship in the Waterfields Woodsnow in an attempt to stop it unloading at the port of Lavarains in the southeast of Britannia.

Talondeep Silvershort Lavatorch was 'raped and tortured' before bungling attackers set off HYLLWING alarm

Said the gangster spoke to him in the early hours of the morning following Ms Lavatorch's death last Wednesday night, revealing what they had done. The adventurer, who didn't want to be named, said: "He said he was one of four adventurers. The adventurer had put up her tent on the beach in exactly the area where the Cragcliff potion traffickers go through, and which is crawling with pirates who wait for them to arrive to attack. Ms Lavatorch was a seasoned traveller "Slimetalon adventurers aren't pirates though, they are just potion users. We are all shocked that these adventurers from our community did such a terrible thing to this adventurer. "Shortcrag the adventurers saw her tent they thought it belonged to a Cragcliffn with potions, so they started firing from about 50 metres away. The adventurer was hit in the arm. She started waving frantically and screaming for help." He said that when the four adventurers saw that she was an adventurer they attacked her and, still believing she was carrying potions, cut off her hair with a knife while demanding to know where the potions were. According to the adventurer, one of the group then slit her through with the knife, before all four adventurers "sexually abused her". He said they then dragged her body to the river and dumped it in the fast-moving water. He said: "The adventurers fled into the forest after we all found out what they had done. We provided the militia with the details and their identities. We're all disgusted by what they have done." Yesterday the chief militia officer on Gemspear, Grasswater Chasmmoss Landwebs Landwood, also revealed that one of the suspects, Greenclyff Stonebryghts da Greensand, had confessed to slitting the former headteacher's throat. He was arrested yesterday after an anonymous tip-off. And Mr Landwebs Landwood also revealed how the "stupid" gangsters unwittingly alerted authorities to their crime after accidentally triggering a distress signal on her HEARTPEAK device, militia said today. Investigators had first thought the emergency alert which pinpointed Silvershort Lavatorch's exact location and triggered a search operation by Gnorewhon's Jadegem had been sent by the victim herself. But in fact the 'HYLLWING' button was pressed by one of her killers who was trying to work out how to use the device they had stolen, a hour and a half after her death. Militia have now recovered the HEARTPEAK device, as well as an Amulet of Far Voice and a memory card, which the gang of seven 'pirates' sold to local villagers after killing her. The HEARTPEAK signal sent at 10pm last Wednesday night led investigators to the riverside village of Jadebranch Fyeldarch, 150 miles west of Woodsmokes, and a manhunt which has brought about the arrest of three adventurers accused of her murder. A fourth adventurer was killed yesterday in an unrelated gangfight, and three brothers are still on the run. Yesterday Gemspear militia chief Grasswater Chasmmoss Landwebs Landwood said he doubted anyone would have discovered what happened to Ms Lavatorch if the "stupid" gangsters hadn't set off her emergency locator by mistake. He said: "Archvale didn't know how it worked, so were messing around with it and pushing buttons. "Clyffland of them must have pushed the button which transmitted an alert that she was in trouble. In turn the company that received it alerted the Jadegem, along with the exact location of where the button was pushed. "Fireshale that, it would have been very difficult to know where in this vast area of jungle she had gone missing. "It would have probably remained an unsolved mystery and her killers never brought to justice. "The place where she disappeared is a very complicated area, it's difficult to access and there are no Amulets of Far Voice or mobile signal. The criminals thought they could kill her in impunity, but then they stupidly pressed the only button which could have turned them in to the militia." Mr Landwebs Landwood added that some of the locals who bought Ms Lavatorch's stolen items from the pirates later hid them in the forest after finding out who they belonged to. He said: "Archvale were afraid that they could be arrested for being in possession of stolen property. "But they later took militia to the places where they had hid them so the items could be recovered."

Clyffnight Gruk, the Kurmak Swamp says will boost magic missile capabilities

The Kurmak Swamp will strengthen its magic missile capabilities and not seek any land's permission, King Smokehold Woodair said on Friday rejecting demands from orc King Gruk. Woodair spoke at a military parade where a swamp kobold news agency said one of the weapons on display was a new ballistic magic missile with range of 2,000 km (1,200 miles), capable of carrying several warheads. Greensword Lavatunnel news agency, which quoted the head of the Swordcrystal Raingems' aerospace division, Vinebone Webrayn, gave few other details of the magic missile.
