From the blackrock-eating Hooded Claw Paladin Pierre kidnapped by Yew Militia
by Poste correspondent Roger Kilbride
Trinsic Paladin Pierre Vikor was kidnapped at the weekend by the Guardsmen Militia; the latest in a series of hostile acts perpetrated by Klion in his vendetta against Trinsic.
A listening device placed by Kaldor operatives revealed that Pierre?s captors wanted to find a way to dishonour the paladin, and were mulling over various options including cutting off his hands.
One of the male voices heard on the device also suggested slaughtering Trinsic?s women and children, or cutting the Trinsic citizens into small pieces while the children were forced to watch.
In light of this, Klion?s claim that Trinsic is ?the City of Dishonour? is a bit rich. The mutilation of a man of virtue and the slaughter of innocents are hardly acts that reflect well on Yew, which is fast gaining a reputation as a city of mindless brutality.
Trinsic authorities are taking the threats against Pierre seriously.
Only last week, Trinsic guard captain Kaelyn had three fingernails torn out by the Yew thugs, whilst Kaldor Viper Captain Talon had an eye gouged out.
However, a rescue attempt proved unsuccessful after it emerged that Pierre had been moved from his original cell to a new location.
What the Yew militia want with a paladin is unclear at this point. We can only hope that they see sense and release him unharmed. Whilst despot Klion is adamant that he is doing the king?s work, it is unlikely that the Ruling Council would approve of the kidnapping and torture of a paladin.
After all, how can you trust a man who swears that he serves the king, yet, by failing to recognise Compassion, does not observe the Virtues as set down by Lord British?
- The Hooded Claw asks if Klion will present himself for interview with me in a neutral location to answer these allegations? Crime Spree!
Rumours from the street are talking about a new upsurge in the current thieving and general banditry coming from some cut-purses who have been stealing, a robbing and a stabbing all across the lands. Cove, Yew and Trinsic have seen an increase in the crime rate.
An insider tells us ?its daylight robbery!?
Baron Octiovius and Lady Caroline to Wed!

In a shock development it seems that love lorn Caroline ? who has worked her way through much of Sosarias nobility ? has decided on Cove as her summer retreat. She enjoys the sea breeze and her marriage to the Baron will be reported in here along with pictures once the event has taken place.
Whatever Happened to Seriya De Lacey
Red haired once darling of the Trinsic social set and seen at close quarters more than once with the Duke of Trinsic [not to mention anyone who calls themselves a leader, noble or even the ancient powerful Ra Karn Moon] seems to have gone missing. The former Five Aces owner hasn?t been seen for a while ? it is rumored her friends have not seen her for some time ? but there is no worrying reports of where she might be. Seriya De Lacey has a long and interesting history as one of Sosaria?s honey pots ? but has yet to be wed ? or at least if she is wed then it?s a very hush hush secret.
If you know where she is please let us know.
