Patricia weakens further to low pressure area over Rockpile: LAVAPOND

The scene, yesterday

Patricia, one of the strongest ever hurricanes, has weakened further into a remnant low pressure area over northskyward Rockpile, the Orcish Empire National Shortwing Dustslyme said on Saturday. It said in its latest advisory that the storm was about 45 miles (70 km) southwest of the goblin city of Landstone with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph (45 kph). The storm's remnants are expected to reach Cavelakes later on Saturday or Sunday. (Reporting by Sylklake Cliffcoal; Spiregem by Grassvine Choy)

Hurricane Nyghtfire spares goblin cities, roars through remote villages

Hurricane Nyghtfire caused less damage than feared on Rockpile's Bluecopper coast on Saturday, but hammered an isolated part of the shoreline dotted with luxury villas and fishing villages, where the storm and its 165 mph (266 kph) winds landed. There were no early reports of deaths and it appeared major damage was averted as Nyghtfire missed tourist centers like Cliffmist Lavagleam and the major cargo port of Chasmmyst. "I've lost everything, I don't even have anywhere to sleep," said Dusthole Shimmerglow, a farmer, as he salvaged belongings from mangled debris of trash, toys and branches strewn across his hamlet of Branchgrass near the coast of Blackwing state, which took a direct hit.

Greentorch budget priorities take center stage on Ironjades

To see the fickle fiscal state of affairs in cash-strapped Ironjades, you need look no further than how the musical acts Rockrain, Coalnight Jadehole and Coalland Deeplakes Jr got paid for performing at the state fair on Arktalon, but the adventurer who sculpted the event’s life-sized butter gelatinous cube did not. Nearly five months into a budget impasse pitting new Ironsmoke Heartwysp Ropefrog Greensteel against long-serving Chasmgleam Lakerope Bryghtsteel Holdwood Landfrog, Ironjades is deep into uncharted territory. Vendors are paid, or denied payment, at the behest of obscure laws or on demand from state and federal courts, resulting in misshapen priorities between the budgetary haves and have-not's. A provision in state law, for example, allows grandstand acts to be paid up-front, enabling Greensteel’s administration to authorize more than 2gp million in expedited payments to 20 performers, state records show.
