  Disa grunts, looking the map over with a judicial eye. "Our kin excel at fighting giant-kind, more so than any other foe. But orcs fall to our axes and hammer also. Can provide powerful defence with shield wall technique, if being inside city walls is where we do most good. Sounds as though this is preferred option then. Ballista and catapult equipment, powderkegs - bringing these depends on how narrow tunnel you came through. Time is of essence, and so wish not to be too slowed down in travel." ((more than happy to bring the dwarves in, Disa will lead the x number of volunteer fighters into Peltarch herself with as much equipment as they can reasonably get through the tunnels))

  As Hen approaches, Z pauses his plowing, pulls out a soiled rag, wipes the sweat from his brow, and smiles. Good mornin', Miss Hen. As she describes the situation, his smile shrinks and he takes a more serious tone. Hmmm…let's step inside, have some tea, n talk. Looks around for others as they step inside Z's farmhouse. ((Privately inside)) I try ta keep out of the fussin' n fightin' between towns as much as ah can - ain't good fer business. I often use the hall up there, and I make it a point ta purchase me craft supplies from the merchants in their hall. So, I'm on good terms with the craftin' folks up in Peltarch. We be happy ta supply her with stones n wood fer wall repair n defenses. That said, this would only be comin' from myself n the Crafters Union. I don't really have a relationship with the Chancellor of Norwick and you'd be better off goin' through the regular political channels ta git him on board - I wouldn't be too optimistic about that, though. shrugs I will do my part as the leader of the Union, however, an' extend an offer of support to the king. Thanks fer comin' to me and I'm at yer service... ((I've been real busy with RL, so I haven't played much over the past few months. Because of this, I'm totally in the dark about the plots this involves - I don't usually read the Peltarch forums. I'll do my best to catch up and send a PM to Emer offering support from the Crafters Union. Thanks for reaching out! Z

  //Will be doing the exchange event on tuesday so, if things go more or less fine, the ferry service can be restored. It will most likely contain little to no combat and be relatively short. Those involved arrange what you need to, especially Isolde and Elvadriel, who are the ones who acquired the task from Vaartags.

  _Ragnar, though spending the majority of his time locked away within Aura Runedar, happens across one of these flyers during his weekly trip to the Union Hall in Norwick. He brings a monocle to his eye and reads it over, mumbling to himself before stumbling upon the mention of Dwin Dolvak. He strokes his beard thoughtfully, and after a few moments, he spreads word throughout the Hold and Norwick for this Grobble to please seek out Ragnar Gloirin._

  And sadly I'll have to say that it will be postponed until further notice. Bit of a narf burnout again, as usually this time of year.. The current advisors can act in their position until I get my narf-feeling up again.

  Kevmorn Arrowbrand, a young and recently ordained priest of Gond, has sought out Nuwairah. Though he lacks the funds to help finance the project, he does offer Gond's blessing.

  After delivering the body to the Dwarven temple, Z informs the priest that the Dwarf's kin can collect his gear in the Norwick Craft Hall. He also tells the priest that their back door is unlocked. ///ICly, Z would have just left the gear at the temple, but a reset would mean it goes bye-bye. So, I stowed it. If you want your gear, PM me. We can figure out a time to meet IG. If not, I'll just deliver it all to the Dwarven Hold and it will go away next reset. Z ///P.S. DMs - I'm pretty sure that back gate to the Dwarven Hold is supposed to be locked…

  (Upon reflection, due to the nature of the subject matter, I don't think I'll hold an IG RP for what happened afterall since it hits a bit too close to home) As days have finally passed, with any and all those that gather at the funeral, Anna would be conducting the funeral out in one of the farm fields owned by a family that had been annihilated in the blast. With no shortage of tears being shed, the Chauntean priestess herself would keep her eyes dry for now, and with a somber grace, commence the funeral proceedings for the victims that had fallen. Opening with a small prayer to the grain goddess, she would eventually transition into offering condolences to all the families who have lost those they care about. Listing the names of every one who had fallen, one by one, until they have all been mentioned. Commemorating their legacy as integral parts of Norwick, as the unsung heroes who helped provide for their community, after some time she would finally bring matters to a close. With one final prayer, in what looked like a very large ornate wheel barrow with Chauntean markings decorated for this ceremony, the ashes of the fallen visible in plain sight once she lifted the tarp covering them. Bring the wheel barrow through the fields, if anyone wished, they were encouraged tp sprinkle some of the ashes on their fields if they wished. Upon arriving at the final destination a large hole dug just east of the fields near the scar, the ashes would be laid to rest there finally, poured in and covered with dirt once more. The wheel barrow itself then would rest upon the mound, serving as a marker of respect to those have fallen.

  Of Beetles and Bogarts

  _In the aftermath of the great battle, a rare peace settles over Norwick. Stories begin to trickle out about the tireless endeavours of adventurers and guards, working on two separate fronts to deal with the beetles and bogarts. In Norwick, the gates were held by heroes bright and bold: Sir Shannon D'Arneau and Lady Talindra Verados of the Divine Shield, Raryldor of Corellon and Maria, Norwick's own lady of the lake. With sword, steel and spell, the gates were held against hordes of chittering bugs and screeching goblins, never breached. Tragedy still struck the townsfolk, however, as a number of goblin assassins stealthily made their way inside the inn to wreak bloody havoc until put down by the defenders. Out in the Rawlins, the fighting was hot and fierce, with a multitude of raging bugbear warriors striking fear into the goblin hordes, cleaving shell and bone with their mighty greataxes. Ostromog, it is whispered, will not share the throne with anyone, though for now, his forces were far too spent to reach further than the Rawlins themselves. And last but not least, the rumours speak of the away-team, a task force of mixed adventurers from all the towns of Narfell, including Oscura. This group, it is said, magicked their way into the heart of the goblins operations, taking out the man responsible for creating the army - Gharium the Black, a powerful spellcaster. Some more speculative rumours attribute Gharium's death to Rasuil, the controversial ranger who, regardless of other, darker rumours, may still be held in high regard in Norwick after his tireless training of archers to the town's defence. Stories continue about the group's exploits into the hellish depths of the Goblin Hold, and the teeming breeding grounds of the Coal Mines below, where great hive mothers were defeated one by one, and countless eggs smashed, never to grow into beetles._ ((belated, I know, but I wanted to put a little ending to this thread))

  The Defender of Norwick watches from a small distance. While making no action to have the stand taken down as no laws have been broken, she silently wonders what game the fiery-haired Oscuran is playing.

  Not long after the leader of the Orel Clan and the Troff Legion we're seen meeting at the Great Hall, the banditry plaguing the Nars Pass almost instantly stopped. Perhaps it was the threat of this combined force or perhaps it was all the new eyes in town carefully watching the shadows, whatever the case, no organized banditry has been reported in the Nars for nearly a year and it seems the town of Norwick is returning to the simple peace of it's enemies being green skinned and outside it's walls. The townsfolk have begun to live easily once more, but everyone in Norwick knows that peace only ever lasts as long as it takes for next goblin tribe to rise out of the Rawlins, and its been quiet for too long…

  Gears volunteers, citing boredom and hopes of violence and loot, and, yeah, that whole thing about caring about the Silver Valley being close by. He does not, however, have any runed items. ((Just getting back into Narf today, so understood if he can't come, but if you need a rogue along…

  Salin nods to Uljas, spinning his dagger. He strikes high and low, but each one is easily averted by the far more skilled warrior.
