(To mortal eyes the papers appear as flyers with a warning to always check
your seat before you sit down in a movie theater, and includes a story about
how someone sat down and felt a sting in her buttock, then when she left the
theater she found a note stuck to the back of her jacket saying "Welcome to
the world of AIDS!". Apparently the sting she felt was an AIDS-infected
needle left there by a person with the virus who felt a need to spread
his/her suffering to others, so be careful!)

ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING FOILED BY VICTIM
ANESTHESIA MAKES DEAL FOR HER OWN RELEASE
by
Abigail Teller (CP), Chief Editor
_______________________
An attempted kidnap and ransoming of a citizen of Firnost has ended due to
the actions of the victim herself in a bizarre turn of events.
Earlier this week a ransom note was left in Firnost demanding a Stradivarius
violin for the safe return of Lady Anesthesia, a noted Sidhe in the Freehold
community. Such violins are legendary in the mortal community as having a
unique and beautiful tone to them, and are highly sought after by virtuosos
around the globe.
As investigation ensued regarding the previously-unrealized kidnapping, it
was revealed through Cantrips that another citizen of Firnost, the Pooka Ian
Recluse, had disappeared with Lady Anesthesia.
In an even stranger turn of events, Anesthesia herself sent a missive to
Firnost saying that she was unharmed. She also claimed she had made a deal
with her captor (confirmed in her missive as Ian Recluse) for her release,
and will be away from Firnost while she searches for the person who ordered
her capture.
Neither Anesthesia nor Mr. Recluse was available for comment.
GRENDEL EXONERATED?
The Investigation Continues
by
Abigail Teller (CP), Chief Editor
_______________________
The Eshu spokesperson for the Redcap Grendel, Abd Al-Hazrad, has presented
an unexpected account of the events surrounding the alleged murder of
Stumpy, for which Grendel stands accused.
According to Al-Hazrad, a Sluagh by the name of Christalena has implicated a
Boggart by the name of Tork in the alleged poisoning. The name Tork was
also mentioned in Stumpy's letter to his fiancee, though it was unknown at
the time whether or not Tork was Kithain.
Christalena has come forth with information that implicates Grendel in the
poisoning, saying that Tork gave Stumpy the drink as a gift from Grendel.
Al-Hazrad continues to insist that it does not prove his client guilty.
Mr. Al-Hazrad also presented a number of charges against Grendel that he
claims are either unfounded or outside of Firnost's jurisdiction, including
assault and resisting arrest. It is unknown at this time if these charges
are still pending against him.
The three-day banishment for Grendel's assault on Patrick McDaniel, leveled
against him by Restor de Tristram (Satyr Representative) has expired, and
there is no word from Mr. De Tristram if he will uphold his promise to keep
banishing Grendel until he apologizes to Mr. McDaniel.
The Herald will continue to follow this story as it happens.
