Crime in Rhy'Din Rising
City Under Siege
By: Norman Marlin, of the Dockside News Report

    According to officials, crime in the city is reaching an all new high. As reported by Tom Thompson of the Rhy'Din Watch, over the past thirty days there have been 130 bodies attributed to the Zodiac Killer, 60 members of the Rhy'Din Watch killed in the line of duty, 123 girls taken into slavery, 34 slavers killed in retaliation, 3 murders not attributed to a serial killer, 3 massacres wherein the body count is still being tallied, 1 kidnapping, 3 violent assaults, 1 case of draconian infanticide and 1 unknown explosion.

     According to recent census data, the total population of the city is 20,932 — taking that figure into account, that means that ten percent of the population of the city was wiped out in a thirty day period and another five percent was taken into slavery, according to an official in Governor Helston's office.
    A bill was brought forth to hire 100 new watch members, in the hopes of stemming this tide of crime in the city, and immediately approved by the Governor.
    Several citizens on the streets have expressed concerns about

the ramp up in crime. While the apprehension and imprisonment of the Dockside Killer brought forth a sigh of relief, citizens are concerned that not enough is being done both by officials and by other citizens to stop the crime wave before it gets out of control.
    One man spoken with said, "It ain't that we don't have good people in the city, it's that we ain't got good people working together to stop this insanity. People need to stop workin' as vigilantes and come together, or else we're all gonna be lost for good. I think we need to really get it together."

Rhy'Din's Most Wanted
Known Killers
By: Rob Mitchell, of the Rhy'Din Vindicator

     As given by Tom Thompson of the Rhy'Din Watch, the following people are known to be a danger to society and are to be apprehended upon site by any member of the Watch who comes across them. Mister Thompson also said that, given that each of these people are accused of felonies, any common citizen has the right to bring them in, though he stressed repeatedly that all caution should be taken and that under no circumstances are these people to be engaged unless the safety of the arresting party outweighs the danger of the apprehension.

Renna the Betrayer
Wanted for serial murder of unknown number of victims, with charges of disturbing the peace and littering.

Lord Travanix
Wanted for Flesh Trading, Kidnapping and the suspicion of murder in the deaths of 60 members of the Rhy'Din Watch.

The Zodiac
Wanted for serial and mass murder of 130 known victims.

Bob aka Chaos aka The Abyss
Wanted for disturbing the peace, destruction of property and assault.

Theron
Wanted for disturbing the peace, destruction of property and assault.

Jonathan Helena Tapole
Wanted for assault with a deadly weapon and obstruction of justice.

    Mister Thompson advises all possible caution when dealing with these people, and says that they should be considered armed and dangerous. "Be safe and sensible, people," he went on record as saying. "Don't go fighting violence with violence — vigilante justice isn't going to save this city now, we need to keep our wits about us and work together. Going off on the badguys without thinking will only cost us more lives."
    There has been no word on whether or not the listed individuals have been spotted since the Most Wanted List came out, but all sightings and information should be immediately reported to the Rhy'Din Watch at the earliest available opportunity.
