3rd Napay 786 - A collision of two merchant vessels yesterday injured several and left one ship at the bottom of the harbor.  The helmsmen of one of the ships; whose name is not being released, has been arrested.  A debate has begun over who owns the ship's cargo at the bottom of the harbor.  A tangle of treaties and common sea law appear to be making the relatively easy question a muddle.

First come, first served. Debate ended. I'll prepare a couple water breathing spells.

The twins suggest going to get the cargo (or at least inspect it) with you.

Gansuhk says yes... " I have chemicals that swim speed, can be greater.  And other goodies, to be selected"

I'll make a 3,000 gc donation to the Amber Rec Center on behalf of Church of the Collector.

Will they name the building after me? Because that would be stupendous.

17th Napay 786 - Clerics recently discovered a new algae on the rocks of the harbor.  This algae was found because children brought them to the attention of their parents after trying to play with them and not being able to pick them up because of their slickness.  After analysis, the clergy has determined that the algae is magical in nature.  They are currently searching for the creators, as its introduction to the harbor was illegal.  (as usual, this is just a snip it from the story, post questions if you want more information)

The Twins take a sample to Gansuk and have him analyze it.  They want to see if it can be used to escape ropes or bonds easier, like the handcuffs they were just in.

You are not easily able to get a sample.

12th Napay 786 - Skorzee Island dispute rages again.  After the announcement by the leaders of Port Talp that they would be joining the war effort on the side of the Republic of Destroyt, it was inevitable that they near century old dispute would raise its head.  The island, once only big enough for a man to stand on, but now large enough for a village of one hundred, sits within sight of the well used trade route between the mainland and Ekarude.  It was originally claimed by no one, but when it reached a certain size and usefulness, it was claimed by Magenthia, whose claim was later backed by the other city states of the Main Continent.  The Horarians disputed that claim, and held that it has been in their territorial waters all along.  The dispute went away and returned several times, with each conflict ending in a pay off.  Now, the Horarians are at it again, and this time claim that they will defend the island from any visitors.  Any that arrive will be assumed to be invaders.  The islands resident have not been contacted for comment.

23rd Baston Sun 786 - News from the Great Halfling Forest is that the Lord of Scalehome and his fey allies have conquered the Fellos Estate.  The battle lasted several days, during which the halfling put up a valiant fight as is expected from the legendary defenders of the forest.  Even with their orcish allies arriving to aid them, the Halflings could not stand against the might of Scalehome.  Commander Ellic was overheard saying, "We shall return." as he fled the estate.
