Staying in the Mermaid Inn, while on a journey to restock ware that are rare to find in Blackbridge, Calistra hears of the recent rumors surrounding the town. The Nars Pass Bandits have vacated Any renegade defender resistance has calmed down considerably A group of adventurers had come across a shrine of Auril in the mountains to the west. Calistra lets the patrons know in the Mermaid Inn that she is seeking names or descriptions of these adventurers. Stated flatly, forcefully, and with plenty of eye-contact to get her point across that she intends to find this group.

Rumor is a group of people traveled across the Scar into Jiyyd to explore the area. Most notable among the group was Troff Legion General Theaon Thorn, the elf Raryldor, and the paladin Steelfin - who had not been seen in the region since before the N'Jast War.

Kudos to Kenna for accompanying Lence on his foolish quest in mapping the Nars. Perhaps we should have waited until daylight to explore? It might have lowered the spine-tingling terror of venturing out where we should not have been going. Either way, Nighthawk Tower was a good place to end up at!

"ORCS!" Unnoticed by all but a small contingent of bright and richly armored men, a group of orcs filtered into the old camp for reasons unknown. The orcs, including several spellcasters, archers and strong fighters, had even brought a colossal champion, reputedly twice or even thrice the size of the noted legionaire Eragor - one of several adventurers assisting the nobles in the orcish defeat.

Out at the border of the mountains and the plains, close to the Dead Horse Inn, reports arrive to the settlements, villages and cities of more civilised parts of Narfell, that unusual trembles, almost quakes, has been felt by the few adventurers that dares to explore the region. A pillar of fire has been seen at the Crossroads for some time now, however, the reports seem to claim that it is sometimes acompanied by a fierce rain of fire. Is it another plane ending threat? Or is something mor emundane?. Well, something is amiss. The question is what. And who will step up to figure it out? Or who will stand before whatever is causing this, has run its course?

I'm away until Nov 11th, and I may not be available to play longer sessions for a week or two after that.

[[donned in a green robe, the halfling Martoushca Leaffall - one of the city’s gardeners once again takes up a position on the rant stand a few days after her first appeal.]] SONS and DAUGHTERS of PELTARCH!
