ROBBERY CASE
The Britannian Council has

the victims and criminal
investigators. Reynaud has
stated himself that he is
confident that the case
will be resolved in short

ENTERTAINER OFFENDS
MAGINCIAN LISTENERS
Musician Eddie Charlton
was met with boos and
catcalls when he
performed his new song
before a Magincian
audience. 'Virtuebane Went
Down to Magincia'
recounts the story of
the demon challenging a
young bard to a lute
playing contest with the
reward of a 14 karat
gold lute to the lad if he
should win. The demon is
bested in a contest of
musical execution, and the
lad flushed with pride
brandishes the golden
prize and boasts to the
defeated demon to return
when if he ever wished
to try again; at which
point the demon seizes
the young bard's soul.
Listeners railed that the
tune was in very poor
taste in light of the
fact that the topic hit
too close to home.
ALCHEMIST GUILD
EFFECTS LABEL POLICY
The alchemist guild is
calling for a manditory
placement of labels on
potions sold to the public
following an incident
where a colorblind man
exploded and showered 14
bystanders in a pink mist
when he non-intentionally
chugged the wrong potion.
The alchemist guild hopes
that similar future
incidents can be avoided
by this new label policy.
SHIPMATES NEED FOR
SPECIAL MISSION.
Captain Dantes is looking
for a crew of 14 doughty
mariners who will
accompany him on a
special mission. Candidates
should have a cast iron
stomach, a will of steel,
and a bladder of some
strong material like steel
that is not subject to
rust as iron does.
Particular desired skills
are sailing, cannon
operation, harpooning, and
swimming if necessary.
The good captain will
discuss the details of the
mission as he reviews
prospective candidates at
the Modest Damsel Inn in
New Magincia this week.

HOROSCOPES
The Peddler-January:
Others are sensitive, and
their feelings are easily
hurt this morning. This is
the day you've been
waiting for.
The Mongbat-February:
People who live in grass
houses should not throw
hot objects.
The Phoenix-March: The
five second rule had been
effectively doubled for
you. You may now safely
consume food items
dropped on the ground if
picked up within 10
seconds.
The Sea Dragon-April: Be
particularly prepared this
week…. By keeping your
lantern filled with Captain
Decamp’s Fish Oil.
This horoscope
prediction sponsored by
Captain Decamp Fish Oil.
Burns longer. Burns
safer.
The Hermit -May: You
have become too
predictable lately. See? I
knew you were going to
say that.
The Llama-June: If you
can’t join them, then
beat them.. ruthlessly.
The Ancient Wyrm-July:
Remember, every person
gets to sell out just 3
times in life. If you have
sold out twice already,
plan out carefully on how
you will sell out your last
time. If you have sold
out only once, then all
the better.
The Anvil-August: When
life gives you lemons, you
can be certain that it’s
a conspiracy by the sugar
producers to exploit
recipients of cheap 3 gp
lemons (which mysteriously
just happen to fall into
their hands, by the way)
to coerce them to make
lemon-aide using their
obscenely marked up sacks
of sugar. I mean, like
500 gp a sack. It’s just
criminal. Stop being a
pawn of the oppressive
sugar cartels keeping
their jackboots on the
faces of the people. Down
with the sugar cartels!
The Weaver-September:
The flagon with the
dragon holds the pellet
with the poison, the
chalice from the palace
holds the brew that is
true.
The Wisp-October: You
will see the number
‘14’ everywhere you
look; carved on walls,
written on sidewalks, even
spelled out in your soup
where the noodles are
made into numbers(pretty
creepy, huh?) Your life
will be governed by the
number 14, and life will
spiral into uncertainly and
possible peril.
The Unicorn-November: A
mystic llama herder will
visit your town and will
personally unfold for you
the secrets to the
universe in all of it’s
majesty. Offer void
where prohibited.
The Wanderer-December:
Remember when you were
told years ago that if
you sneezed with your
eyes opened, your eyeballs
would pop out, and you
didn’t believe them? Well
guess what?
That’s exacly what
happens, and it isn’t
pretty. You will actually
see the surprised look on
your own face for just a
split second… Just
kidding.. You will buy a
nice hat this week, and
you will receive a ton of
compliments on your new
look, and will feel very
confident about your
latest fashion statement.
