Dungeon Gazette Headlines...
The Realm is filling up quickly. Rumor has it that no new adventurers
will be accepted after the end of the year, but this is unsubstantiated
at this time.
Monsters of the Realm have strategically located themselves, lying in
wait for unsuspecting prey. I talked to one of these creatures, a
Green Dragon, who was currently living in the Forbidden Forest. When
asked what he though about the NEW mithral plate armor, he responded,
"No problem..." as he showed me a shell cracker. "It's just like
eating lobster."
On the more serious side of the news; the Drow launched a surprise
assault on Eanor. While the king's elite soldiers were able to hold
off the invading Drow, casualties were high. Other minor skirmishes
were reported all across the Elven Kingdoms.

PLAYER NEWS
I have no new rules to add at this time; however, I would like to
explain the scoring system which I am using to rank all the players.
On the first Monday of the month the Status and Inst# columns will be
replaced with the Player's Score. (January will be the first) This
score is computed by using a cleverly devised formula which takes into
account; experience, gold, worth of items, level of progression in the
game (ie. Installment #), and some other factors which will remain as
secret as the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices. There will also be
special bonus points awarded when a certain part of the Quest is
completed, and a large bonus for the person or party who completes the
final Quest. So let the contest begin...
Oh yes, a reminder about deities. GREEK ONLY please...

KEY for Status:
J = Journeying C = Combat D = In a Dungeon
I = In town T = Training O = Out of Commission
Note: Out of Commission refers to anything which prohibits
character activity other than death. This could range
from unconsciousness to being paralyzed or turned to stone.
Combinations of the codes may be used. If a character were
engaged in combat within city limits (which is against the
law in most cities by the way), his status would look like
(I,C). Full words may also be used such as Marooned, Dead,
or M.I.A.
