Jiyyd Rumors
-
_"I know why they were there, and this is the only warning or request I will make towards this matter.
No one bars entry into the temple halls. I hope that is clear enough, Will."_
-
Will shakes his head at the posturing, pomposity, and theatrics, and might be heard to mention, were anyone passing by at that moment, that perhaps someone might have asked why the guards were there, and what they were guarding, before throwing the doors wide.
Thoughtless actions too often have unfortunate consequences.

_Sir Trent Blake opens the doors to the Temple of Helm in a very showing manner and calls for the attention of citizens and visitors of Jiyyd.
"Let it be known that our Temple of Helm will always be with open doors to any and all who seek protection and shelter within it's wall. No band of self-absorbed mercenaries hold any say into how this temple operates. We are servants of the Vigilant One and will always offer our protection to those who need it."_

@38330acc73=sciolist:
The Temple of Helm is mysteriously closed to worshippers, pilgrims, lost children and anyone not on the list of the vigilant Legion guards.
What's going on?
_If the Legion continues to bar travellers from the Temple, then they will meet with a clearly angered paladin. The Legion guards will then be told that they are thanked for their concern in one particular matter regarding three children, but that in future they should first of all confer with the present clergy or herself before attempting to bar anyone away from the temple again.
The paladin will then proceed to inform the Legion's General of her displeasure regarding this incident, stating that the Temple itself does not dictate who is allowed entry into the Legion Halls just as well. Whereas the paladin usually is known to remain calm and reserved, in this particular instance her expressions speaks tell tales of withheld anger.
Rumor may spread that earlier, she was seen carrying a burnt corpse into the temple, as well as that she had a hand in the recent death of three children, to which she gives no further explanation than "not all we come to see, is as it seems." Perhaps, they say, these events have had a greater impact on her than she would care to show, and the paladin may be on the edge of losing it.
None the less, as long as her angered expression remains, most commoners feel it somehow wiser to avoid direct contact with the Helmite._

The three children who apparently claimed their uncle's farm their own were slain with the help of some of the more prominent paladins of Jiyyd. The name "Helm's Finest" is often mentioned with them and there's apparently talk of envy and grief over who stands highest in Helm's regard. In the end, only one thing is certain, though, and that is that those 'children' are no more. Oddly enough, it seems few bother seriously about the man who they relieved of the farm.

Several witnesses in Jiyyd confirm that a man in red lacquered plate armor and a dark-red, wrym-like helm staggered into the town trailing blood that was flowing from within his suit. Several arrows protruded from the man's pauldron and back plate, each with scorch marks ringing them in the metal. He collapsed near feet from the healer's door, but was quickly attended by a priest who was chancing nearby.
Upon removal of the man's helm, the familiar scarred and hardened face of Daerus Olarryn was seen choking out a warning to the priest (whom some claim to be Sy). Not much was heard, save for the words "ambush," "Phoenix warriors," and "Nars bridge."
Hours later Daerus was seen heading to the Legion barracks quite healed but with a deep scowl etched in his face.

Dwin surveys the damage to the Jiyyd Crafting Hall and then marches over to the Council building muttering some not-so-nice sounding words along the way.
Where the fark was the Jiyyd Militia? Sittin around soakin their toes? Drinkin tea?
And the Legion? On Holiday again? How the fark these lil bandits sneak in here and burn our building is beyond me.

((Dwin's pet peeve #12: People making quick assumptions about posts without asking.
Who said I was blaming a PC? BELIEVE ME, as leader of the Norwick Milita and one who misses many-a-goblin attack, I am not blaming PC's for not being there.
Did Just'ene do anything? Any of the NPC guards? These are the questions Dwin wants answered.
Frankly, I believe Dwin's response to be completely appropriate. Our property was attacked, and a town with not one but TWO military groups offered no resistance.

((Could be wrong, but I think the Legion does have NPC soldiers a DM could spawn, or move Militia around Jiyyd appropriately.))

The Chancellor of Norwick met with a party by the fires in jiyyd, rounded up a few more adventurers, then set out for mintas for several days of research and study. They returned unexpectedly the next day with three children who had been wandering lost in the woods. The children were supposedly taken to their uncle’s home where the party disbanded. The chancellor was heard saying he would attempt the journey to mintas again in a few tenday.
(( thanks to everyone who made time for that little trip

Rumors spread that it was a giant troll who walked into the hall and then broke open the smithing oven, spilling the burning coals onto the ground. Another rumor suggests that trolls are an accepted an everyday sight in Jiyyd and that it was more likely a wizard who was transformed into a troll and angry that the legion has mastered the ability to provide better than magic armor without having to give up parts of their life-essence. Most people suspect that neither is true, still there seems to have been talk of a new wizard form in town, and it involves Peppy and the red-troll form.

Dentin goes around Jiyyd looking for someone who can explain to him just what exactly happened to the crafting hall.
((Did I miss a post somewhere?))

Eluriel and Cyrian are seen working side by side at kara's house to build a new ladder of oak, after completing the project Cyrian drags the remaining logs to the Craft Hall to begin repairs to the burned out building.

There was a large commotion in Jiyyd recently as Chaevre' Vaelen appeared out of nowhere in the town holding a young child by the neck. The child who is known by many as Star, was then thrown to the ground and had a staff pressed hard down on her kneck, choking her and causing her to be unable to breathe. The witch seemed very angry at the girl for apaprently having attempted to use some sort of magical device against her, Gildor arrived at the scene some time later and demanded the girl be let go, some words were exchanged and mentions of deception, eventually Chaevre' let the girl go and then proceeded to cast a spell that flattened gildor to the ground and squeezed the life out of her until he was severely bruised, bleeding and unconsious. The witch mentioned that further betrayal of her trust will result in the deaths of everyone involved.

The bald, tatooed, albino monk typicially called "V" has been seen working at the exotics shop almost exclusively during the days over the past few months. While not busy lifting and moving things, or running errands, he is usually seen practicing his art through forms in clearings around Jiyyd. However he recently has been seen less at the shop and appears to be adventuring more once again.
-
An incredibly irate Kara is seen on the southern hill overlooking Jiyyd in the daylight, glancing down at the burnt remains of a ladder leading up to her house in the trees. Those coming near are glowered at until Kara finally turns and stalks north to go and locate a cutting axe, intent on building a new ladder.

Despite minor setbacks in the past weeks, the sisters are out there, providing a shelter for all travellers near the bridge. For a while everyone who passed by has been offered a warm cup of tea and a safe shelter, only troubled for once by minor attacks by hobgoblins.
