ILLNESS STRIKES ANNIE'S!!
Annie's Inn has been refuge to many a weary traveler. But this past moon that bastion of safety in a world wracked by danger and nefarious deeds was threatened. Not by army or unruly patron, but by an near incurable illness. For almost 24 hours Annie was gravely ill. Common symptoms graduated through out the day. Coughing and sniffling increased to sunken eyes, and death rattle wheezing.
After much investigating, this reporter uncovered a foul plot to poison Annie. Malakai, a local diviner, was quoted "Death Lotus, used to make a very powerful poison. It is both the beginning and end of this tragedy. Always two there are." It was tasked to a band of adventurers to retrieve the last of the Death Lotus.
Those responsible were sought out and quickly discovered. The sky was clear and the moon was full as Gorfen led the band of adventurers down the winding road calling out to them as we approached. Their gaze met ours. One man stepped out from the crowd, admitting to the attempt on Annie's life. This would normally provoke a Dwarf to combat. But on this fateful night, it provoked this Dwarf to smile. The moon glinted off not only my smile that night, but off the many dirks of the rogues swiftly and deftly moving in behind our doomed adversaries. Tom, crew member of the Guidance, was one of the rogue's leading the charge, and but only one of the many adventurers to put their life on the line that night.
This reporter wishes to thank all of the adventurers that were there that night and pledged their support.

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT
Citizens be warned.
There is a new threat lurking in the woods. Hunters. Hounds larger than a man and three times as strong prowl the night. Hunters have been seen patrolling the woods protecting the secret cult meetings. Yes, you heard right. CULT MEETINGS. A group of vandals and murderers calling themselves "The Cult of Supremacy" have been encountered this past moon along the alley ways and trails just outside Annie's Inn. Be warned readers, these cultists wish to do more than convert you. Their ability to harness destructive magic, command the Hunters, and disappear into the night just as quickly as they appeared shocked and awed the bravest of adventurers. While their current plans are unknown, we know they are devoted entirely to a supreme being known as Primus. He has apparently gifted the more faithful of his followers the extraordinary powers we saw the other night. Should you hear the Hunter Howl, stay indoors and keep your silver weapons close. Cult of Supremacy isn't motivated by greed or revenge but by the sole desire to annihilate this land, so it may be reborn in Primus's image.
There is hope. This reporter will let his faithful readers in on a secret. Six blessed warriors were tasked with the deed of dispatching Primus as well as his followers. And they were gifted the tools they needed to complete the job. Keep them in your prayers.

The mine has been claimed!!! A envoy from the Kenrei, The Obsidian Kingdom won the battle that determined who would claim the mine. Wealth and honor will now be bestowed upon anyone from that Kingdom. But... don't let your hopes be crushed, if the Kenrei make one wrong step or if another Kingdom feels strong enough, the mine can change hands.

The man who poisoned Annie, his name was Lucien. Lucien of the Cult of Supremacy. This man was killed but an eye needs to be kept on the Cult for backlash. The Dusken Vale are also high on our list of dangers.
