A clean sweep for the Guardsmen Militia, who were graciously allowed to win as a supreme act of Covian etiquette to our allies! DOG MURDERER APPREHENDED!
After an extensive man hunt launched by the famously thorough Covian Watch, the puppy punching elf responsible for the cold blooded murder of beloved Baronial hound Bounder was identified as Arcanist Corporal Veldrin Needleheart; a Drow and known evader of the elf tax. She is to be held in custody awaiting righteous punishment.
GRAND BARONIAL MONGBAT HUNT PROVES GRENADIER SUPERIORITY
To combat the mongbat menace, Baron Octiovus led a glorious hunting party with a menagerie of Cove's most fearsome creatures including: Baronial hounds, war rats, and Yewish battle snakes. Grenadier Gimbly eventually topped the tally of Mongbats eliminated, with his incorrigible war goose, Ahmed.
Vesper continued their provocations by admitting they had not punished the elf responsible for the unprovoked attack on Covian Templars!
