Trouble In Trinsic!

Crowd Gathers To Sling Rotten Apples!

A crowd gathers to sling rotten apples.
A crowd gathers to sling rotten apples.

Last evening while I was taking a stroll through Trinsic I happened upon a crowd gathered at the main gates. They appeared to be standing around a couple of brutish looking men who were tied to the stocks! Apparently there had been a few attempted muggings in the early hours of the evening. It seems these bandits were trying to take advantage of the extremely busy streets and taverns of Trinsic that have been a wash with activity in the last few days. One of them even tried to mug Lord Ikus! Though it would seem they failed in their endeavour and ended up being pelted with rotten apples instead!

Militia Guardsmen Chase Off Attackers

Yew Once Again Safe, But For How Long?

Milita guardsmen chase off attackers.
Milita guardsmen chase off attackers.

Yew’s troubles are never ending it would seem! I've been sent word that a troublemaker yesterday attempted to talk his way out of paying his taxes by posing as a "night of the realm", claiming he was on some sort of important mission to Yew town. Lucky for us citizens, the Yewish Militia were having none of this and after a militia officer by the name of Gotrek had questioned the man for a short time, his arrest was ordered and a skirmish followed. I think we can safely say the king’s land to the north is well protected!

Rumours

They say on the grape vine that Captain Dart is having women problems at the moment. Perhaps in the near future he will live to regret being such a ladies man!

Word on the street is that someone's out to get a few well known members of the duchy guard force. We can only hope these rumours remain just that, rumours!

Lockdown On Southern Yew

Proclaimation from Lord D'Gar.

Strong Military Presence As Militia Try Eradicate Southern Yew's Unwanted Inhabitants!

Lord Protector Klion D'Gar has issued a declaration that states the Militia will soon be rid of its rivals, the rebels of Yew. In an effort to clean up the south side of Yew, a known hideout for the likes of rebels, a strong military presence will be actively patrolling the area south of Stonekeep! Will this mean an end to hostilities in the Yew area? Keep watching this space!

Trinsic Guard Force Under Attack!

Criminals Target Duchy Guards!

The Duchy Of Trinsic's finest, the Duchy guard force have been the target of a vicious onslaught of beatings, kidnappings and foul play of late. It would seem that not only was there a kidnapping made on Guardswoman Hildy, an attempted kidnapping made on Captain Kaelyn, and an attempt made on the life of Mordred, ex Kaldorian turned Duchy guardsman, but Captain kaelyns family have also been targeted. Sadly two members' of Kaelyns family were murdered in Minoc just last night! Let’s hope the vindictive thugs behind all this soon come to trial and then the noose!

Rumours

  • Rumours claim, that there will be another election for a new Baron in Vesper.
  • They say someone's out to get the duchy guards, but they also say that someone isn’t the most likely suspect!

Letters

To Ms Amber "Wicked Witch" De Crowley

Dear Ms De Crowley,

I am writing to correct a bit of a mistake in one of your stories a few days ago. You said a drow murdered me but she didn't, it was Caitlin who died. I'm still alive thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Hildy Fredrikson
Guardswoman
Trinsic

Amber says: There, there dear. Keep your hat on! My mistake. Though after your recent kidnapping i may well be printing more bad news about you. Let's hope not for the sake of the Duchy citizens!

Militia Patrol Turns Nasty!

Brave Guardsmen Defeated In Ilshenar

I've been hearing reports that a recent Militia patrol to the lands of Ilshenar ended badly for the Yewish guardsmen. Gathering in Stonekeep a small band decided to make their way to the Ilshenar lands, through the Spirituality moongate. But on arriving at their destination they found they had bitten of more than they could chew. I hear they found them selves facing some of the truly foulest beasts of those troubled lands! But after a well executed retreat, a few scratches and bruises, and maybe a bump on the head, or two, the guardsmen picked them selves up and managed to make their way home, back to the safety of Britannia!

Jade Bastet Branded Like A Common Thug!

Jade is branded!

Connection To Criminals Discovered

It appears that the well known Lady Jade of Tremere has literally been branded a criminal by the duchy! She was arrested under suspicion of dealings with a criminal gang, tied to the stocks and branded with a "B" for brigand! One wonders if this will only escalate the already hostile under current in the Trinsic area.

Trinsic Guardswoman Kidnapped!

Guardswoman Hildy is forced to work behind a bar!

Duchy Raid The Rusty Dagger!

A few days ago guardswoman Hildy of the Duchy guard was apparently kidnapped by a gang of brigands! Not only did they rough her up and force her to work behind a bar as a tavern wench, they also forced her to knife fight with Kaldorian Corwin, after he was also captured during an failed rescue attempt! Luckily for guardswoman Hildy and Kaldorian Corwin, the brigands showed some element of mercy when they dumped the wounded pair in the local woods, later that day.

Rumours

  • Whispers abound that VanQa, once leader of the elves and torture victim of drow fiend Iglata, is once again back in Sosaria and building a life with Jern Fretting at his cottage.

Guards Face New Threat!

Those foul beasts the orcs are at it once again, though the name of the warband is yet unknown to us at the poste, reports have been pouring in from Trinsic of vicious attacks. A duchy guard last evening told me that its got the barracks shook up, fighting thieves and muggers is one thing, but fighting man eating orcs is quite another!

Rumours

  • I hear the Duchy is now accepting drows into their guard force, whatever next!
  • Lord D’Gar has routed the rebels in Cederwood and apparently reclaimed the village!
  • Rumour has it the duchy have managed to take revenge on the local brigands by burning down their tavern!

PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT

ISSUED FROM THE OFFICE OF THE DUKE, 22nd JANUARY

Important Reminder

Some years ago, the Gates of Virtue ritual was performed
to strengthen the wards of Trinsic against magical attack.

Owing to the corruption and failure of that ritual,
all magical travel
(recalling, gating, sacred journey)
either into or out of the city
is extremely hazardous!

Guards and citizens are asked
to remind those who do this of the risks.

Those found repeatedly ignoring this advice
will be arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct
in order to preserve their own safety
and that of our citizens and visitors.

Irvyn Middlethorn
Duke of Trinsic, Servant of the Realm, Defender of the South, etc etc
