Tortuga Gazetteer Vol. 5.1.23
DESTRUCTION AFTER ESCAPED CONVICT WREAKS HAVOC
Dearest Reader,
I am sure you have heard of the events of the last day. After multiple reports from my sources reached me, I set out to follow the path of destruction. While I was walking through our beautiful Tortuga, many of you approached me to give me great feedback, which, as always, is appreciated. I do enjoy hearing your opinions and thoughts on the happenings and goings on on our beautiful island.
Well, I passed through a partly destroyed shipbuilders district - no permanent damage I assure you! The proper folk have already started to rebuild and to reconstruct. After that I checked in on the harbour, where there was a great commotion on the Binding Chain, apparently they had tracked a fugitive of their own crew to be responsible for this entire chaos! The person had apparently stolen a magical wand beloning to Mi&Mo and was now using it to wreak havoc.
Just then one of my dear readers informed me, that a fight had happened at the market, multiple tieflings had been killed! So, disregarding any danger to my person, I immediately made my way to the market. There I found a grizzly scene, carnage and destruction everywhere! The golden ray of sunshine in this pit of despair is that none of you, my dear readers, got seriously hurt.
A few people were wounded, one passerby even took the brunt of the attack of one of such elemental attacker. He was saved due to the heroic interventions of a certain group whose description seemed awfuly familiar to me. Following a hunch I tracked them down, trying to unearth more of this story.
I found them just were I left them last time, they were able to corroborate the story I had pieces together - apparently the Tiefling had lost all control of the wand! They too had not seen a piece of the perpetrator since they had vanquished him.
Well, dearest reader, I can only urge you to be careful when wielding unknown magical implements, avoid it at best and do your homework first, or you might end up vanishing too!

ON THE BRIDGE - TODAY WITH MI&MO
Dearest Reader,
As I approached the Binding Chain I could not resist but take the risk and interview the most feared captains of these water. Mi & Mo themselves. As always they were very unreceptive to my probing, but they know better than to hide anything from me, after all, I am willing to risk life and limb for even the smallest crumb of truth.
So they relented and finally told me something of interest. Do you remember the abruptly moving island? Yesterday was a truly marvelous day, wasn't it? Apparently they had crew on this island! According to their reports, the shifting happened with a sudden pull, instead of the regular gradual shifting! How mysterious, I myself have been to this island a couple times before, it has always acted normally then. Now it is your turn to think, dear reader, what could have caused this? How could this happen? As always, send me your theories and the most interesting and thought provoking ones will be printed in the next issues.
