@caoimh Scholars of military history as well as retired lieutenants are seen remarking that the size of Jorino's regiment is growing unwieldy and too large for proper military efficiency. Some have noted that she was, once upon a time, Talbot Anderson's lieutenant, who also recruited from the docks and bloated his regiment with the unemployed and the destitute. Others remark how her father, the Regent, has taken a cold, distant hand with regard to the poor of Peltarch -- effectively creating the demand for his daughter's recruitment drive.

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.

@darkpowder said in Kudos: Loving the DM Xanatos Gambit politico events in Peltarch, truly well cordinated and loving the spontenaous and unplanned crossovers with other plots too. Seconded!

"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.

@robyn said in The Away Thread: Rika and Meadow won't be in game while I have fun in the Adirondacks from 8/7 - 8/9 (....and, I'm back)

Yet again making an appearance, the bard Mashal performs for the passing city folk, this time a mandolin in hand: Rika the barbarian a common sight to us all, Beautiful and deadly, standing a head above us tall. Alas she does not understand this bard's going rate, So here I shall sing of her of being a cheapskate. What is a hundred gold to a common adventurer, When quests and raiding get you rich just like an emperor. Not only did she request this song just for her, She did it after implying my skills were inferior. For she said she did not like city folk, calling us all weak, Not strong enough to do battle, no lives do we reap. Tell me my good sir, my fine lady in passing, Would you take that in stride from a vulgarian trespassing? Now she leaves stones after battle as a prayer to her God, With her name emblazoned on it's back for him to be awed. So if you do come across someone out for her in vengeance, Do please point her out and allow her own independence.
