Dungeon Gazette Headlines...
A full scale assault was launched againt Eanor yesterday. While the
Kings army was able to fend off the furious attacks, there were several
casualties. Reinforcments have been sent in from the city of Illmar and
some troops have been dispatched from Ashmire as well, in an attempt to
trap the Drow forces somewhere in the WhiteElf Delta region; maybe even
driving them back into the Forbidden Forest.

Attention: All surface dwelling scum.
It is useless to resist. Surrender
now and you shall all be spared to live
under the glorious new rule of the Drow.

PLAYER NEWS
The Campaign Handbook has been reposted. Look for it about the same
time you receive this. If you still don't get it, let me know and I'll
mail a copy directly to you.
Here are the definitions of the two "different" character classes found
in the Campaign Handbook as per the request of several ElfSword players:
Samuri Warrior: Requirements Str. 17 Int. 12 Wis. 15 Dex. 18
Con. 17 Cha. 9 Com. 10
The Samuri Warrior is a variation of the Monk class; however, the
samuri is able to use a variety of weapons which is special to this
class. These weapons are very difficult ot find and even harder to
learn how to use, but the Samuri is a very dangerous character.
Players wishing to run a Samuri will often find that they will start
the game at an extreme disadvantage. (Remember a character named
Sam who was marooned for the first month of the campaign). Samuri's
must be Human.
Archer: Requirements Str. 16 Int. 15 Wis. 15 Dex. 16 Con. 17
Cha. 15 Com. 15
The Archer is a variation of a Ranger who specializes in bow and
arrow type weapons. In fact, the Archer may ONLY use bow and arrow
weapons and a dagger (for close range combat). Archers gain a +1
missile adjustment at every 3rd level of experience attained, plus
another missile bonus of +2 for a Dex. of 18. (+1 for Dex of 17)
Archers have all the Ranger abilities and Ranger HD. Archers also
have the ability to make their own bows and arrows from natural
resources. This chances of successfully crafting a functioning
bow is 50% + 10% per level until 5th level when they can make these
bows without possibility of failure.

KEY for Status:
J = Journeying C = Combat D = In a Dungeon
I = In town T = Training O = Out of Commission
E = Encounter
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.
