*Word has spread about an encounter between the infamous Black Knife bandit group and Succession Army units of the Countess's Fifth Elite Boulder Unit. The Countess's Units had been dispatched into the hills around the river of darkness and north of the Lake of Sorrows to investigate reports that the criminal Gork had been seen in the area.
The Army units located and engaged the remnants of the Black KNives, an infamous unit of bandits run by Grundorf who have terrorised the area for a score of years.
Initial investigations reveal that Grundorf had dealings with Gork before Gork, in a viscious and brutal act of revenge eliminated every one of Grundorfs men except a scout party which was returning to the burnt out campsite when the Countess's men fell apon them.
A thorough search has turned up no traces of the escaped criminal Gork.
The Count and Countess have now issued a writ for Gork arrest and sent patrols west along the main roads near where Gork was supposedly located.*
