LADIES ROXELANA CHRONANDER AND MALIKA SAIL TO ALEXANDRIA
CAPTAIN MINGHUS ACCOMMODATES THEM ON HIS SHIP
KING HASSAN BIDS SAFE JOURNEY
But Kalahari justice is famed for its evenhanded fairness, and this letter was given to the Kalahari Ancient Scroll Department (KASD) for investigation. Shockingly, the Department authenticated the letter as written with the same parchment, and ink, as previous documents from the foggy land of Finlandia, where Thorgrim claimed it was produced.
While we now know the letter is authentic, we must verify the scandalous accusations contained therein, namely that the gentle Roxelana had murdered her elderly husband, and fled with his jewelry.
And while we still were reeling from that dramatic development, another shocker materialized when Asim al Rachid, Roxelana's loyal bodyguard was found floating at sea by one of the incoming fishing boats. Though his exposure to sun and sea had rendered him almost unconscious, and he could not speak clearly, the sailors heard something like "Betrayal" and "Jewelry gone," before poor Asim fell unconscious. He is being treated in the Kalahari Clinic, with hope of a full recovery. Meanwhile concern heightens for the fates of Ladies Roxelana and Malika, and what could have happened on the open sea.

CAPTAIN MINGHUS ACCOMMODATES THEM ON HIS SHIP
KING HASSAN BIDS SAFE JOURNEY
DISASTER AT SEA--NO SIGN OF
CAPTAIN MINGHUS AND THE LADIES!!!
SHOCKING LATE NEWS FLASH!!!
Two startling developments occurred soon after Captain Minghus left Kalahari Harbor. Many of us are familiar with the secretive Sailmaster Thorgrim, who brought a discredited letter supposedly from the family of Roxelana's late husband Henrik, mentioning the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. We all thought that Thorgrim "lied" to us, and that Arvid's had used his son, Sir A. Oxenstierna, Henrik and Rox' nephew, to write the letter. We were concerned Minghus, Arvid, and A. Oxenstierna, were in league to accuse an innocent widow and steal her dowry.
But Kalahari justice is famed for its evenhanded fairness, and this letter was given to the Kalahari Ancient Scroll Department (KASD) for investigation. Shockingly, the Department authenticated the letter as written with the same parchment, and ink, as previous documents from the foggy land of Finlandia, where Thorgrim claimed it was produced.
While we now know the letter is authentic, we must verify the scandalous accusations contained therein, namely that the gentle Roxelana had murdered her elderly husband, and fled with his jewelry.
And while we still were reeling from that dramatic development, another shocker materialized when Asim al Rachid, Roxelana's loyal bodyguard was found floating at sea by one of the incoming fishing boats. Though his exposure to sun and sea had rendered him almost unconscious, and he could not speak clearly, the sailors heard something like "Betrayal" and "Jewelry gone," before poor Asim fell unconscious.

TITANIC CAPTAINS BATTLE
Monday, 27 February 2017, 12:30 PM SLT
All Are Invited to the Arena!
 |
| Captain Jack Docherty |
 |
| Captain Minghus
The King laid down the gauntlet to Captain Jack Docherty and Captain Minghus, after hearing their tall tales of the sea at the Tavern, as they were plied with food and drink by Tavern Manager Roberta Honey. Stories of wrestling with sea monsters, drinking with Davy Jones, and wenches won and lost at the toss of dice filled the air, and that gave King Hassan an idea.
The wily King decided that the good people of Kalahari could use a spectacle in the Mardi Gras season, the last celebration before Lent, when Christians prepare for the death of Jesus (betrayed by Judas) and his resurrection from the dead.
So the King challenged the captains to use a fist fight to settle who was the toughest sea captain in Kalahari (until the next drinking bout at the Delicious Syrup), and neither Captain could refuse such a challenge as that!
So the fist fight is on. The men will use the G&S HUD and the GM HUD, both of which are available at the dock, using the activating the fist fight setting. And both captains are taking their training seriously, as they were using their fists constantly to down beer at the Tavern.
The generous King offered a stunning prize to the winner: land comprising 3% of the land mass of the entire Kingdom, the location to in New Kalahari! And in addition to the fabulous estate offered by the King, Minister Afraa offered to do a private belly dance for the winner of the fight, and as you might imagine, neither man could contain his excitement!
