"Here in Chicago, we've recently had a convoy of wagons arrive, and in the middle of the street, start unloading their goods. Now to Tim on-scene, with more information."
"Thanks Lucy. These wagons were being driven by, of all things, dwarves. They arrived in the wee hours of the morning and began unloading their goods, which ranged from anything like worthless knick-knacks and pieces of cloth to more useful things, like food and clothing. Also included were highly gaudy pieces of jewelry, stone blocks, and steel armor. Local scientists are very interested in some of the weapons the dwarves unloaded, but couldn't even get close without the dwarves glaring at them and tightening their grip on their own weapons. The local churches condemned the dwarves for worshiping false idols, to which the response was a crossbow bolt over their heads, with the promise that 'the next one wouldn't miss.' When inquires were made about the curious blue metal from which some of their arms and armaments were made from and where it had come from, the dwarves shed a tear. 'Another fort dug too deep, Armok preserve them.' As to what this statement means, we've no information. Back to you Lucy."
"This just in, California gets hit with a massive wave of heat, housing prices plummet, and strange demonic entities are seen roaming the countryside."
