Large Beast Ravages Locals

For the past two weeks, a creature has been stalking the forests north of Rheinland. No one has survived an encounter with the beast as of yet, however remains have been collected and some of Rheinland’s top doctors have reported that the bodies appear to have been attacked by a large cat like creature. The experts claim whatever is attacking local citizens has two large fangs on top with a top and bottom row of sharp teeth. Speculation is that a White Forest Saber-Cat made its way south in hopes of finding a easier source of food.

Rheinland Magistrate Raymond Foxdrey had this to say on the subject. “The citizens of Rheinland have nothing to fear, food and transportation will remain uninterrupted during these vicious attacks. If you have no business in the northern woods I would suggest you avoid them until Knight Eagleson or Knight Heathcote returns from the White Forest with her or his troop of soldiers.”

When questioned on weather we’d see Rheinland Perfects hunting the beast, Magistrate Foxdrey refused to comment. The recent weeks has seen Rheinland Perfects handing out commission for anyone willing to help them with the numerous problems plaguing Rheinland, it’s our speculation at the Trenton Times that Rheinland doesn’t have the forces to deal with their own city let alone their neighboring forest.

Train Bandits Strike

The Nox-Orion Express completed its maiden voyage yesterday, the 3rd of Summer. The voyage out a week ago went smoothly, however it seems that a group of Raptor Bandits attempted to rob the train on the way back to Orion. A group of noble citizens took on the Bandits themselves in a passenger car, and reportedly fended them off, capturing one and killing another in the battle.

Reports from Rheinland Perfects are that the Bandits struck the train, knowing the two VIP cars would be filled with members of high society and would make easy targets. Good thing those bandits weren’t prepared to handle our unknown do-gooders.
