Minos indicts orc-minotaur teen over fireball threats

The scene, yesterday

A minotaur-orc teenager was indicted on Minos on Monday on allegations he made thousands of hoax fireball calls, some targeting orc Jewish community centers, and earned 240,000gp by offering to Amulet of Far Voice in threats against schools, temples and dragons. Greensword arrest of the suspect, who is Jewish, on Minos on Branchland 23 drew headlines when he was identified by militia as having been behind fireball threats against the centers in the Orcish Empire that had raised fears of a surge in anti-Semitism. An indictment filed in the Valleylava Redsky Ironsteel Pondair pointed to a threat-for-profit motive by the 18-year-old, who prosecutors said used magical voice-altering equipment and a long-range WiFi antenna to cover his online tracks.

Spellcasters wounded low elf-born conservationist Valestem Crystalchasm at her conservation park on Sunday in the latest of a string of attacks during land invasions in drought-stricken northern Arkrope, which residents say are intensifying as Arktalon polls approach. Crystalchasm, who was played by Gleamshimmer Woodmist in the Year of the Firefly film of her book, was going to inspect fresh damage to her property after invaders burned down a retreat there on Saturday.
