--April 12, 2009 Booty Bay
It appears that an insane bear went on a wild rampage in Booty Bay today. It is unclear as to when the attacks started, but sometime early in the afternoon a very large bear began attacking and indiscriminately killing the citizens of Booty Bay.
The Booty Bay security forces were unable to stop the attack and at times seemed to be the main focus of the ursine fury. When the lumbering attacker ran out of security guards he would turn his teeth and claws on the vendors, merchants, barkeeps, and inn keeper. Not even the town leaders were immune to the attack and quickly fell prey to the vicious assault.
The attack continued well into the evening and several business visitors to the Bay were heard to suggest bringing in outside assistance to put an end to the brutal rampage. Our correspondent on the scene noted however that only once during the attack was an outsider able to bring down the attacker. An errant deathknight trying to conduct some "business" with Sea Wolf MacKinley got caught up in the melee and managed to down the bear for a short time. However First Mate Crazz noted that evidently the insanity was contagious since shortly thereafter the deathknight started killing anything that moved as well, joining his former enemy in the fray.
"I saw those two bastards saluting each other out on the dock later in the evening, " said Crazz. The bear finally jumped into the bay and swam away. No one is sure as to the total death toll of the attack, but may there feel it will reach well into the hundreds. Many of the citizens are still in fear that the bear will return to continue this unprovoked attack.
Our reporter was able to secure the following quote from Fleet Master Firallon of the Bloodsail Faction, "Its about damn time that bear came around to our point of view and started dishing out the pain to those damn goblins."
