In the streets of Rome, the town criers call out:

In Italian: HUNTERS SAW THIS MORN FOR A MOMENT A GIANT BLACK PYRAMID OUTSIDE THE CITY WALLS!! GOLDEN GLYPHS DID GLOW UPON ITS SURFACE!! IT MAY BE A THING SENT BY THE DEVIL TO BEGUILE THE FOLK OF ROME!!


The town criers of Rome call out the victories of the Crusaders of the Catacombs over the undead monsters that lurk below the streets!

THE GOOD CARDINAL LUCIUS D’BORJA LEADS A MIGHTY BAND OF PAPAL CHAMPIONS INTO THE CATACOMBS TO CLEAR THEM OF THE RESTLESS DEAD THAT HAVE BEEN PREYING ON OUR CITIZENS BY NIGHT! THE LORD BE PRAISED!! WE HAVE SAVIORS AMONG US!! BRAVE MEN OF HIGH QUALITY AND HARD METTLE SUCCOR THE CITY OF ROMA!! HALLELUJAH!! HALLELUJAH!! REJOICE, PEOPLE OF ROMA!!


Heard by dusk throughout the streets and markets of Paris:

In French: Oyez! Oyez! This just in! It has been reported that The Lusty Fools also cleared the crypts beneath Notre Dame of various undead monsters, including the Necromancer's mistress--a wight--and a pair of shadows that guarded his subterranean lair, plus an undead dragon skeleton that haunted the cistern under Isle of the City, and a skeletal snake-like construct, and several skeletal champions that guarded the Necromancer's townhouse! It is now suspected by some, however, that The Imbeciles Lusty may also be responsible for freeing the dark knight with glowing green eyes that killed seven good watchmen yesterday in broad daylight before exiting the city through the north postern gate! All else is well in Paris!


Heard throughout the streets and markets of Paris that day:

In French: Oyez! Oyez! Yesterday around noon, in broad daylight, seven guards of the watch were murdered by a dark knight in black-and-green armour! Witnesses report the knight's eyes glowing like green fires! The dark knight was last seen heading north on foot through the countryside! All citizens and visitors to Paris are advised to remain within the safety of the city walls until further notice! .... On a brighter note, a band of young heroes known as The Lusty Fools have killed the infamous traitor of Notre Dame, Pierre the Necromancer, and have lifted his dark curse on the gargoyles of the cathedral! The heroes also purged the belfry of the Necromancer's gremlin allies, rescued an infant that was to be sacrificed to the Devil, and brought to justice three members of the Satanic cult the Necromancer was in league with! Viva La Imbeciles Lusty!!

Haha! The French translation of Lusty Fools--Imbeciles Lusty--doesn't quite have the same heroic ring to it, does it?
