Whispers at the Fire
-
word as it that the Iron Chain Clan members are freequently seen at Norwicks old Ruins, exterminating the rats that have infested that area.
They seem determined in erradicating for good those desease carrying animals
-
Word spreads the streets of another attack on the old southern gates. The forces repelled consisted of gelatinous cubes, goblins, demons, and a minotaur who left a farewell present of ice spiders along with a very large arachnid, a bebilith.
-
Word spreads quickly that Lord Chancellor Dwin has hired Celestria on as a Norwick Healer. She is said to be all smiles and quite happy with the new status. It's rumored she will remain in service to the Militia as well.
-
It appears the Shrine of kelemvor was attacked recently; there's evidence of a battle, including the gates having been blown off. Many of the graves were dug up and then reburied; shortly after the attack, whispers speak of Aramuil and Cherry showing up, coming back from their anniversary celebration. Aramuil and Cherry examined the area, supposedly coming under attack by yet more undead; but people seem confident that the elven archmage can bring the evildoers to justice soon.

_Unconcerned by the stories of robbers in the pass, a small group of adventurers set out into the Rawlinswood, following the wind. It's said Celebring came along in the hopes of finding something he's missing, suspecting that to be adventure. The young, plump woman happily skipped along, claiming that they would find Wood Giants in the forest. When they returned a good while later, the bard that had accompanied the two didn't seem all so enthusasitic about it, apparently all they found was an almost deadly fight against bugbears.
Nonetheless, the plump woman seems unwilling to give up hope:_
"Oh, I'm sure we'll find the Wood Giants! It's just the Rawlinswood is like really big! And it might take a while to like search it thoroughly! But giants are like big, you know? So we'll like find them soon enough!"Oh, and don't go like worrying about bugbears! Celebring was so great, he like summoned a really like large bear and it ate the bugbears! And like Caric was so really brave, fighting amidst them and like he almost died, but only like just!"

_Citizens witness Ambassador Ronan taking down a man right in front of the Great Hall. Davos, the guard who witnessed it demanded to know what was going on.
The Ambassador insisted that this man he brought down was working for the demons, yet Davos did not seem to believe the word of the Advisor… both Ronan and the man accused of helping demons were taking to the jail._
-
Word spreads quickly of a band of thieves attacking travelers in the pass. It's stated the band consists of a powerful mage, a priest and a strong warrior. Rumor has it that a few have already been beaten and robbed by these thieves and whispers shared around the fire indicate this may not be any ordinary band of thieves.

_Though demon attacks are a commonplace occurrence in Norwick, and many of the town's hardened citizens and defenders merely roll up their sleeves and deal with whatever form of monster is threatening them at the moment, a recent attack is noteworthy due to the sheer variety of foes. While various forms of winged demons dropped from the skies, the ground troupes included not only the expected goblin forces, but also huge gelatinous cubes, dretches, a succubus, vrocks and powerful minotaur fighters and casters. The large contingent of defenders held fast to win the day once more, retiring to the commons looking weary, worn and in some cases, covered in goo.
A white-haired young woman in gypsy colours might have been overheard commenting that Mord managed to attract such a large number of gooey cubes that a certain badger might grow jealous. After a fit of giggles, the young woman returned to lamenting the tragic loss of the so called Pink Knight's beautiful, long blonde hair. It would appear that attempting to jump fires while wearing fullplate is not a recommended course of action for keeping one's hair in unscorched condition._

There's talk that Ronan was seen modelling a lovely green dress down Norwick's main street, making two or three passes, stopping in various poses so everyone could get a good look. Rumors say the dress had been specially delivered from Peltarch.
-
Benji is now seen with a dazed, frazzled look in his eye asking where he could find some rubber. His helmet looks slightly melted.
-
Benji has been seen carrying a strange looking helmet with a large copper rod attached to the top. He's been shyly approaching mages asking them about any lightning spells they might be able to cast.

-
Rumors and laughing good natured insults fly about Mord mostly from those of the Gypsy Camp. Seems though they appreciate his help in hunting down the reasons for the Blight in the woods, he got himself beat down by a badger!!
-
Dwin is seen speaking to Maya at long periods in a friendly manner. Finally, he makes an announcement at the fire one evening…
Some of you may know that Maya has retired from her second round of duty in the Realm's Militia. We all thank her for her service. She assures me that her blade will not stay sheathed if the town is threatened, so we can all sleep soundly there.
In honor of her service, I have named her "Champion of Norwick." If you think you got the ingots to challenge her for this title, think twice, make sure you name a next o' kin, and good luck!
((see official rules here: here ))

There was a brief scuffle at the fire. Caric was sitting with his new liason at the fire as Silverbolt walked in. After brief conversation it seemed that the situation heated up as Silverbolt called Caric on his divorce, at which Caric lost his temper, punched Silverbolt in the face and headed north before any guard could be alerted.

tiffiny is seen moap around norwick lately, when she goes into the rawlins or the pass, nothing is left alive in the path she took, she seems more sad then angry but the goblins and hobbers seem to be getting the blunt of all of her fists
-
It seems Glunk has had an eventful few days in Norwick. First insulted by a dwarf, then when he called her out she beat him to a pulp. After this, there was some resolving of issues and names. It seems Hignan was the name of the dwarf, who for her part has decided that not all Half-Orcs are a curse and a stain on society.
A day later, Glunk raced through town with Lukas for the gods know what reason, possibly his death, for it was but a scant few hours later, and his dead body was dragged back into town to the healers.
As he walked out of town, he was talking about "Penance", and "Blood", with Lukas trailing behind him.
The pair were last seen disappearing into the murky depths of Oscura.

_Advisor Ronan is seen coming out of the inn one night, a less than pleased look on his face. Those close enough can feel the air around him is extremely warm, almost to the point of discomfort to the skin. He heads south, not to be seen for several hours.
Once he returns, he looks exausted, yet there is a smirk on his face. When approached and asked about it, he simply says, "Less demons."_
-
Dietrick is seen of late during his usual martial training in town performing a particular set of moves and stances whereby he slides across the ground and opens his legs kicking opposite directions. Sometimes also performing what looked like an attempt at a crouching circular sweep of one leg across in an arc like manner in front of him while his other leg is in a swat position supporting him up. Sometimes using his sword he also makes a series of attack moves and then swings the flat of his blade suddenly down across the ground in a sweeping motion.
