Whispers at the Fire
-
Rummors spread of the one many might consider the town loon has not been seen or heard from in quite some time, not since the last festival in Norwick with magic duals came to a halt due to sever wild magic.
-
There are rumours among Boarshead patrons about the upcoming festival in the Silver Valley. They say that Juster, Gonnar and Ginger have planned a scavenger hunt and archery contest for the event. Everyone is welcome to participate.
((Event is scheduled for next Satuday. Start time TBA.))
-
On hearing the latest news about the chancellor, lucidious visits his office. Finding the door locked and no response from the other side, he quickly makes his way to the barracks looking for Dwin and Foilir…
-
Exhausted and very tired looking, the Chancellor is seen now and again making his way in and out of the Town Hall pushing a wheelbarrow. He enters the hall with it full of small rocks and then leaves the hall, the barrow empty. Back and forth he goes one afternoon until dusk whereupon he makes one last trip out then returns, shutting himself and the rocks into the office.
-
It would appear that Ezachiel is looking for the parents of the girl who died recently, and was then ressurected.
-
Mord looks a bit confused at the instructions from the dwarf but nods and carries on He can be seen standing guard and muttering under his frosted breath at the gates
-
Kalith is seen walking around town on his rounds seemingly looking for the parents of a child reported killed recently. He seems to be encouraging all parents to drill into their children not to leave the safety of the walls without their approval and telling all children how dangerous it is outside and to report anyone trying to offer them jobs leaving the town to the militia.
-
_A clearly irritated dwarf heads to the North gate to instruct the guards to not let any children too young to venture out into the pass out alone.
He then informs the gaurds if the parents of the child that wandered out are seen, they should immediately be directed to Dwin's office.
The dwarf walks off muttering about parents losing sight of their children can only lead to bad things._
-
A brown-skinned elven sorceress walks through it all obliviously, passerbys noting that she doesn't seem to understand the Common Tongue. Her chosen paths often bring her past Chancellor Milshot's offices.
-
_Foilir keeps smiling as he ushers Nicaah towards Dwin's office away from the odd screams emanating from Milshot's office and the smell of the undead.
He continues smiling through the icy glare as he wonders why she is looking at him as if he insinuated "Yes, that bow makes you look fat."_
-
Nicahh goes along to talk to Dwin, seeming fine with such… but she -still- insists upon talking with Milshot. And anyone that tries to discourage such, is met with a bone chilling glare.
((I'll PM you Dwin))
-
After hearing the rumor, Lucidious and Ezachiel spend a moment talking just outside town hall. The conversation is brief and lucidious makes his way to the barracks afterward.
-
If asked about it, Ezachiel responds that he asked the kid whether she thought she could get to Oscura and back to Norwick safely, and she said yes. Only at that point did he offer her 20 gold to go fetch him something in Oscura. He is also willing to pay for her ressurection.
-
_Foilir steers Nicaah away from Milshot's office as he hears him in fear scream with each bang on the door.
He directs her towards Dwin's office in the barracks as its more an issue for the guard than the chancellor._
-
Dwin invites Nicahh to his office to hear the details of the situation. ((PM me if we arent IG))
-
A FURIOUS looking Nicahh is seen banging loudly on the Chancellor's office door. If he was brave enough to let her in, no one knows for sure. What has the firery red head up in arms, many wandered. Though, the rumor that the Banite mage, Ezachiel, had paid a young girl to buy him candy while he sat in Norwick, then deliever it to him in Oscura seems to be circulating. It is also said the girl had ask for directions to Oscura, her excited that he'd paid her ten gold to do the task. Rumor says Nicahh was seen carrying her lifeless body to the Sisterhood where Theaon was kind enough to ask for Yondalla blessing to raise her before they returned the little girl to her house in Norwick. If this is what has her in such a huff, who knows.
-
_A gathering of heavily armored dwarves, meets in the center of town. They are heavily armed and wear their war plates.
They speak among themselves and once enough have gathered, they purposefully make their way towards the north.
Under the watchful eye of the northen posted Norwick milita, the members of the Council of Moradin meet briefly, the floating empty armor of Thorin Bloodaxe among them.
After a few words, many ales and a quick blessing, the dwarves head to a familiar cave in the Nars.
Throughout the night the sounds of explosions, dwarven insults, metal on stone and metal on metal can be heard, echoing through the canyons and hills of the Nars.
Then suddenly, at daybreak….they stop._
-
_Paci is again seen more regularly around Norwick during his off duty times as well. When not downing an ale or two in the Boarshead, he often strolls around the town and his usual patrol routes looking relaxed but still alert.
Whenever he spots Milshot doing his routines, he moves closer offering the chancellor a helping hand, a flask of ale, a friendly discussion or any other small distraction that comes to his mind. A hint of worry breaks through Paci's signature wry grin every now and then when he observes the chancellor's outbursts to people entering or leaving Norwick._
-
- Every now and again Foilir does a double take in the direction at Milshot as he watches him admonishing boars and shrubbery for leaving the gate open yet again.
Moving quickly and using his staff to move along, Foilir pulls the guards following the chancellor aside and instructs them to keep him from these public displays.
They try their best to make it look like they are being yelled at and try to shield him from direct view of the visitors and citizens *
-
_The Chancellor is seen out and about by the North and East Gates. He has several lengths of rope, all with knots tied in them at evenly spaced intervals. He moves about the gate stretching the rope out and then counting the knots from one end to the other, taking measurements it seems. He is heard, now and again, mumbling to himself something about stone being better.
When watched for any period of time, he is also seen yelling at those who come in and out of the gates threatening them with fines should they leave the gates open.
He is very focused on the walls and gates and pays little attention to anything else it seems. A strange look is on his face as he moves about carrying the ropes and such._
