Police raided and quickly closed and locked up all the apothecary shops in Auxientia late last night. Auxientia Police refused to comment citing the action as part of a larger “ongoing investigation.” Witnesses claimed no arrests were made but police were seen emptying shops of the last of their wyvern’s widow. Originally a medicine produced from wyvern venom to treat ear aches, wyvern’s widow was a common item found in most apothecary shops and amongst some healers.

Reports from Observer readers have been flying of a masked madman swooping in to terrify the citizens of our fair city in a nightly rampage. The mystifying owl man steals Pneumatic Translation Devices and absconds into the night. What’s more, this outlaw owl rips apart radios and interrogates innocent people about their “lost time” or “missing memories.” One victim, speaking only under the protection of anonymity, told this reporter the owl demanded to know if their devices contained “lanthanum components.” One can only conclude from these facts that this feathered freak is completely insane. Will the authorities act quickly to

Zoo officials downplayed the danger when pressed by reporters, saying the situation was well in hand and they had every confidence that the wild beast would be reclaimed without serious incident or loss of human life.Zoo keeper Aldo Minsk warned citizens to be on the lookout for, “a black cat. He answers to the name Puma. He enjoys taking catnaps in the sun. Hard to say whether or not he’s a killer… mice maybe? He’s interested in birds, I guess?
