Syle. The Silken FreeBlade and the only known Sludge Elf in TriadCity. Died in the Southern Third. Security records show that after a misunderstanding with the Cashier Bot at the Brain Trust (Gray Plaza), Syle was attacked by the robot in question. As he attempted to escape the violent robot, a powerful blue beam shot him down and killed him instantly. Is is the opinion of this reporter that this was the result of a BugLite malfunction. Syle will be missed by all. The Drunken Texan of the Casino NorthEast was heard to comment, "Dawt-Dang, if that don' jus' beat all! That skinny fellah was th' best damn [friend] ah ever hayd! Th' nex' rhound's onnnnn me!"

Nadal. Death by spider.

Adamus. Death by Sylvan Archer.

Slithe. Killed by rats. It's said there were more than fifty rat corpses piled in the room where Slithe died.

Ximenes. Killed by a Stormtrooper, who said to our reporter, "He kept mumbling about there being diverse elements amongst his weaponry... <shrug>"

Raith. Killed in self-defense by a child playing Sally in the Well. Commented the young gladiator, "We get these all the time. Think they can pick on the young and weak. Fooled 'em."

Paolo. Killed in self-defense by the Universal Toot Shop receptionist during an apparent robbery attempt. Crime analysts at the scene suggested Paolo might have forgotten to wear his armor.

Lowkey. Killed by a Sylvan Archer.

Dranion. Killed by a pigeon. It's those ones who don't read the welcome sign who get weeded the fastest.

Alphonse. Killed by a cashier bot. One of the great ones is gone.

Facial. Killed by a Sylvan Archer. Perhaps because she didn't like the name "Facial".

LadyShady. Killed by a Stormtrooper after reportedly failing an attempt to pickpocket a citizen. "Shady", as her friends called her, was one of the City's most beloved visitors. She'll be greatly missed.

Dragor. Killed in self-defense by a NorthWest janitor.

JohnnyBravo. Killed while savagely attacking a child playing Sally Water. Looks like he didn't read the welcome sign...

Jaelyn. Killed while attempting to rob a Lost Child.

Jet. Killed in self-defense by a Blackshirt Slave Group Leader, who is reported to have commented, "Bring 'em on!"

Silvestro. Another crippling loss by the Mob. Silvestro was widely considered a friendly and gentlemanly Mobster. He'll be missed by criminals and non-criminals alike.

Lorenzo. Another Mobster, who died a violent death after a short life of crime. Killed by the Universal Toot Shop receptionist during a failed robbery attempt.

Paulo. Hunted down and killed by a NorthEast Stormtrooper, who commented, "'e'd been into quite a bit o'mischief, that one. I 'ope that's a lesson to all 'is ilk."

Anjeyus. Killed while attempting to rob a Pigeon Hunter.

Antaq. Killed in self defense by a NorthWest Gardener.

Morticus. Killed attempting to rob a Gardener Bot, Southern Third. Details are sketchy, the bot commenting only, "Meep."

Filiornis. Killed in self-defense by a trembling Deathsucker. Filiornis left behind a good number of notes threatening to leave the City for good, suggesting the death may have been a suicide. His departure was not a surprise to many veterans, one of whom commented, "He seemed to be perpetually confused."

BS. Killed by a patrolling Sylvan Archer. (No, really.)

Huldrych. Died at the hands of a Sylvan Archer, committing an unknown crime. Huldrych was a well-known visitor who will be missed by all.

Pendor. Killed in unspecified circumstances by a Stormtrooper.

Grangyloo. Killed by a rabid Beastly Fido. Someone should do something about those critters.

KnightRose. Killed in self-defense by a Body Piercing Artist, in the White Plaza.

Bast. Reportedly killed in self-defense by Sulu, although, naturally, there are no remains to identify.

Lionheart. Killed in self-defense by a Blackshirt Slave Group Leader, who noted, "I enjoyed the practice very much."

NecroPete. Killed in self-defense by a Hummingbird, who flittered away before it could be asked for details.

Brainy. Killed in self-defense by Simon, who merely sighed, and shrugged, and dodged some falling garbage when asked to comment.

Braino. Mauled to death by a Beastly Fido, which suggests that perhaps a more appropriate name might have been Not-Quite-Such-A-Braino-As-All-That.

BuuBoBo. Died at the hands of a NorthWest janitor, who knows trash when he sees it.

ericman. Killed in a botched attack on Edna, an inoffensive artist in the NorthWest Third. Edna herself was too shaken to comment, but her companion, noted Post Impressionist Suzanne, scowled angrily at the mention of his name.

Jonas. Killed -- alas! -- by Nervous Nell, the Deathsucker merchant in the Black Plaza. Jonas' intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the Mob will be greatly missed here at The Adventurer, especially when writing Mob obits.

Trian. Killed by a Stormtrooper, who commented, "Heh, heh, heh."

Jaems. Jaems, a.k.a. Smokes, the current Domisso Mob Boss was savagely murdered near the Cathedral of Light subway station during a botched robbery. Details are sketchy and the only witness was a custodian. When asked what happened, the custodian simply shrugged and swept up the corpse. Jaems' only family, a younger brother Fohn, was killed in an unrelated attack. He had only a few friends and will be missed. Sources say if not for his Evil ways he would still be with us. ~Jonas

Belrkon. Died at the hands of Little Bugsy, who must now be some sort of legendary hero in the grammar school criminal underground.

Taxxot. Killed in futile combat with a Blackshirt slave group leader. Didn't Fohn tell him what happened to him?

Fohn. Killed in futile combat with a Blackshirt slave group leader. So young, so young.

elrouk. Killed in self-defense by Troy, playing football with his family. Troy may not be NFL material, but he remembers his kung-fu self-defense lessons. This is Troy's second kill; his mother Judy quoted herself by repeating, "Troy! Troy! He's our man! If he can't do it, no-one can!"

Verlk. Killed by a puppy, who commented, "arf!" and licked the reporter's hand.

Xavk. Killed by a pigeon. Must not have read the welcome sign.

Jeho. Killed by an Arachnid Infant in the Forest of Silver Threads.

rectal. Stupid name, stupid death. Killed by Les, a dad, playing football with his family. Which just goes to show something or other.

Chad. Killed in self-defense by a Pigeon Hunter.

Vincent. Legendary founder and Capo of The Mob, killed by Sulu in self-defense. He lived fast, died young, and presumably would have made an attractive corpse, if it hadn't been vaporized by Sulu's phaser.

AshenShugar. Interesting name. Boring death: killed by a Pigeon Hunter in self-defense.

franz. Killed by Jack Dawkins.

Kieran. Killed in self-defense by a NorthWest janitor.

Mert. Mert, Heir to Nasnia, died in the Palace of Night, under mysterious circumstances. There were no eyewitnesses, but a resident Accuser said, "I heard a muffled curse, than a resounding SMASH, and everything was quiet." Another added, "I thought some fool tourist had wandered in, and I wanted to get my share, so I ran in." The body was found in front of the statue at the center of the Palace, with a fragmented skull. The Accusers say the statue was responsible, and no further explanation can be found. -aLokii

Avataru. Died mysteriously inside the Forest of Silver Threads. Details are sketchy; all that is currently known for certain is that his death was caused by Arachnid Toddlers. Please be careful in there.

Hardin. Died foolishly attacking a Ranger Apprentice.

Swarm. Killed in self-defense by a citizen playing turf angels, in the Park South.

Aramil. Killed in self-defense by St. Simon the Stylite, who commented, "I wish no harm to anyone. I wish to be left alone, to pray and fast here in my place of refuge. Why must this be?" An investigating Stormtrooper noted, "Skinny little bugger's tougher than 'ee looks, eh? We'll keep that in mind."

VahnMerquise. Died fighting Arachnid Infants. We at Obits offer our heartfelt condolences to all of VahnMerquise's many friends. Please be careful everybody.

Herme. Killed in self-defense by Nervous Nell, Black Plaza merchant. When asked for comment, Nell replied, "N-n-n-o, it it it it was n-n-n-n-not my f-f-f-f-fault. S-s-s-s-s-self defense. W-w-w-w-witnesses. Hon-hon-hon-hon...really."

journeyman. Killed in self-defense by a child playing jump-rope.

Zrath. Killed in a mad attempt to fight the Statue of Seb, inside the Tree of Life.

Obeekbee. We at Obits are saddened to announce the death of Obeekbee, one of the City's best-loved friends. Obeekbee died fighting Arachnid Toddlers: yet another martyr to these deadly creatures. Please be careful. She'll be greatly missed.

Kander. Died at the hands of a Pigeon Hunter, near the entrance to the Black Bridge, NorthEast Third. The hunter commented to reporters, "Sharp stick, eh?"

zoik. Killed in self-defense by a janitor in the NorthWest Third. It's been suggested that zoik was merely trying to discover if the janitor teaches the Hit Skill, accidentally typing "hit janitor" instead of "learn hit janitor". We at Obits suggest use of the Skills command instead: "skills janitor".

Keenan. Killed in self-defense by a cashier slave at Put the Boot In, Black Plaza Mall. Details are sketchy. The slave refused to comment, noting, "My Mistress don' 'low me to talk to no newspaper."

Korban. Killed while savagely attacking a doe in the Barmalindar forest. (Who'd attack a poor little doe?)

Motus. Another victim of arachnid toddlers, inside the Silver Forest. Motus was a Hermetic Mystic, respected by all as one of the City's most intelligent and well-educated adepts. He'll be sorely missed by friends and colleagues alike.

Lancer. Killed in self-defense by a Gardener Bot, inside the Park South. It's not at all clear why someone would attack an inoffensive Gardener Bot, whose only comment to reporters was, "meep".

rundu. Killed in self-defense by a small child playing Sally in the Well, inside the Park NorthWest.

nonamaniz. Killed in self-defense by Evie's pet garden snake, in a rare act of violence in this otherwise peaceful neighborhood. Asked for comment, the snake merely curled up around the reporter's knees and went to sleep.

borg. Killed in self-defense by a receptionist at the Universal Toot Shop, Black Plaza, NorthEast Third. A local NorthEast officer of the law commented at the scene, "Maybe shoulda waited for the rest of the Collective to arrive. Ha ha ha ha ha!"

EvilThing. Killed by a Blackshirt slave group leader under unknown circumstances.

Reno. Killed in self-defense by a shopper on the Black Plaza.

Sephiroth. Killed in self-defense by a meditating Zelator inside the Tree of Life, in a very rare act of violence inside this normally peaceful place.

Silvis. Killed in self-defense by a Janitor Bot west of Gray Plaza. It's not at all clear why someone would attack an inoffensive Janitor Bot. Whether unfortunately or, perhaps, fortunately, Silvis is no longer around to ask.

Alahn. Killed in self-defense by a bat inside the Black Plaza. When asked for comment, a neighborhood Stormtrooper replied, "heh heh heh."

Alibi. Killed by a Blackshirt slave group leader under mysterious circumstances.

Shirrah. Killed in the silver forest after a moment of blind panic led her to continue moving despite her injuries. The spiders unfortunately tracked her and slew her not far from escape. Sunni, who was with her at the time, said "I'm just in shock! Shirrah was there, and then gone...so quickly. I will miss my elf-sister greatly". I only hope you will learn from her death, and will remember to take care in the silver forest. ~TelGar

Lictoreus. Killed by a Sylvan Archer while committing an unspecified crime.

hitman. Killed in self-defense by Judy, an everyday housemom playing touch football with her family in the Park South. Which goes to show that maybe being a "hitman" isn't the greatest idea.

Nadie. In testament to the overt violent nature of the Northeast Third, an overseer lashed out and killed Nadie, an aspiring Accuser. The only witnesses were a slave gang, who declined to comment after pointed glances in the direction of the aforementioned overseer's whip. Word on the street is that Nadie was viciously attacking a flea, which may have been a personal friend of the overseer. An Accuser at the Palace of Night referred to Nadie as "a scrounging suckup" and added, "good riddance, anyways -- weaklings aren't wanted here." May she rest in peace. --aLokii, Reporter of TriadCity

LordAgular. Met his demise in the Forest of Silver Threads. His fiancée Sunni had this to say, with tears in her eyes, "I will miss his presence greatly. I do not have a body to bury, or a marker to remember him by, but he will forever be in my heart and my thoughts. And I know that somewhere, his spirit will be re-incarnated and I will find my love again." TelGar, editor of The Adventurer, notes, "Learn from his example, the City holds many dangers, even for those of strength."

Shalinea. Killed by an Arachnid Infant somewhere in the spider maze. No body was recovered.

Alariana. Killed in self-defense by a shopper on the Black Plaza. TelGar, editor of The Adventurer, commented "Hmmm, seems as though people aren't reading the obituaries!"

Velasca. Killed in self-defense by Troy, playing family football, in the Park South. Troy declined our invitation to comment; but his mother Judy said, "Troy! Troy! He's our man! If he can't do it, no-one can!"

Agular. Killed by Arachnid Toddlers somewhere in the spider maze. Agular claimed to be an exile from another world, rising his way toward demi-godhood. There were no witnesses to his death, but footprints and other forensic evidence suggest that, fatigued by battles with Arachnid Infants, Agular wandered by mistake into the heart of the spider maze, where he was attacked repeatedly by wandering Toddlers as he attempted to Flee.

Mythire. Killed in self-defense by a shopper on the Black Plaza. Police are investigating this rash of attacks on peace-loving consumers in the Black Plaza area.

gadget. Killed in self-defense by a shopper on the Black Plaza. No details are known, but the shopper did comment, "Outta my way, asshole!".

SioneldJ. Killed in self-defense by Evie beneath the Tree of Life. SioneldJ was an Elven Ranger, much loved by her friends and by the entire community. The reasons for her attack on Evie are unclear. When interviewed, Evie, still distraught, cried, "I don't know why anyone would attack me. I think she was trying to practice 'flee'. But why pick on me? Poor, poor thing." Shirrah is accepting condolences on behalf of her lamented colleague.

ThunderTrick. Killed in self-defense by a puppy on the White Plaza. As no witnesses were present, reasons for ThunderTrick's attack on a puppy are unknown. The puppy's only comment to reporters was, "arf!"

Cake. Killed in self-defense by a pigeon in the Park NE. This senseless loss remains under investigation. When asked for comment, the pigeon looked up reproachfully and fluttered into the next room.

Thunder. Killed in self-defense by Jack Dawkins, perhaps in an argument over property.

Antidote. Killed in self-defense by Simon, who commented, "I mean only good for the people. Yet they rain garbage on my home; they send police to arrest my listeners. Now this attack. Why?" NorthEast authorities noted on condition of anonymity, "It's only a matter of time before someone offs that troublemaker."
