WEST MAIN STREET, PAXLAIR CITY (FELUCCA), PAXLAIR - February 1, 2007

Sometime during the evening of February 1, 2007, the old Troubadour Hall in PaxLair City became the scene of massive death and carnage.  No less than 6 poor people were slaughtered in the lobby of the Hall.  There is some evidence orcs may be involved.  Acting Mayor Winfield called for a full investigation and the area to be put under constant surveillance.

Winfield discovered the scene during his regular walks through the city while bringing food to the poor.  He was later heard to say, "I am deeply disturbed by what happened in Troubadour Hall.  We try to protect all people in our neutral city, but I fear there may be some chaos coming.  The other day I heard the beating of orcish drums near the Orc Fort to the east.  We could not discover their meaning; perhaps they are a call to other orcs or simply a ritual of some kind."

Only two days ago the Bishop of the PaxLair Cathedral visited the poor at Troubadour Hall, said prayers, recited mantras of virtue, and left a virtue book for the poor to read and learn.

Poor people have been flocking to PaxLair City for some unknown reason lately, putting a strain on the city's limited food and housing resources.  Ladies of the Lair recently planted a garden to help with food supplies and more food was imported from other cities in the Realm.

Winfield, the Governor of the PaxLair Statehood, is also the acting Mayor of PaxLair City while he seeks to appoint a new Mayor after DutchessVanHorn resigned on January 19th.  He has been taking nominations and conducting interviews of prospective candidates.  He is expected to make an appointment in the coming weeks.

In his public appearance in PaxLair City after the slaughter at the Troubadour Hall, he said "My efforts to appoint a new mayor may be delayed while all efforts are focused on the security of PaxLair City."
