Whispers at the Fire
-
The Sheverashan comments to his oversized and obnoxious friend…
Think he managed to pick a fight and win?
-
_A dead-on-his-feet lucidious was seen limping into the boarshead covered in bandages, his robes slashed here and there by a thin blade. Leaning over the bar, he hooked two bottles of wine between his fingers, slung them over his shoulder then limped his way out, leaving a small pile of gold on the counter for the barkeep.
Despite the shape he was in, Lucidious was smiling and seemed genuinely happy._

With all the talk of drow Juster is seen gritting his teeth and frowning before walking off mumbling to himself. He might have been talking about his ear, but hey, who knows?
-
((I wasn't talking to anyone in particular.. Moreso everyone who has been posting fact-based, play-by-play accounts of things. Anyways, that's the last bit of OOCness I'm going to post here.))
-
((I was actually talking about DrSuess (DM Ugly) his "Dark Wanderer" NPC, don't know SD_LUVE's.
And yes, I do feel I have a need to correct this, because I asked OOC if it was a Drow and he told me no , and my character should not respond to it as such (reason I did is because my Sheverashan would've charged it blindly otherwise), therefore, I have a feeling neither should Summoner's.
Also, this was a respond to Summoner, and not you, chripso.))
-
((But, there are a number of rumors that the 'Dark One' NPC played by SD_LUVE is a drow, so best not to say OOC that anything is or isn't so in a rumor forum
))Keira expresses concern to Aelhaearn and other members of Norwick's military that defence of the gate is commanded better in future. Too many milling around under attack from bugbear archers. No point having defences if they're not used.
// Great attacks last night by May and Baboo (I think). Would be great if there was some way to have lower levels defending one front against shorties/soldiers while the other gets hassle from grenadiers/elites.
-
((Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a rumors thread, and as such, should not be used to correct other people's "rumors?"))
-
((If you are talking about the "Dark Wanderer" NPC, it is not a Drow.))

Piles of saurial weaponry and gear are occassionally left by the south gate.

Several tavern patrons excitedly talk about a duel that occured outside of the town gates. From how they tell it a knight wearing red armor and bearing a severely scarred face and a massive half-orc, easily as large as an ogre, challenged each other over a noblewoman of surpassing beauty. A goodly portion of these so-called witnesses claim that the knight was struck hard early by the half-orc, nearly falling under the weight of each blow, but that this was merely a tactic to wear the muscled man down. After three solid hits to his shield, the knight fell into a pattern and dodged the great strokes expertly, eventually tiring the giant and knocking him out after some minutes. The knight and the lady travelled north, they say, and romantics would try to tell it that they went arm in arm… but who can truly sort the fact from fiction of tavern gossip?

Word spreads that an Oscuran named Corde is seeking "Blackened Mushrooms" and will pay a small sum for any that are found. It is said that word should be sent to him in the city if the trade is meant to be done outside of Oscura, or a seller can simply find him in the city if there is fine.

@320a875320=chripso:
Rumor has it Wolf is a drow.
_Some might notice Wolf does not have black skin and white hair. And does not resemble any type of elf.
About the meeting with Edward, as Kull mentioned, Wolf goes with curiosity. Hoping to get some answers about why a drow help put out a forest fire… and about the mark..._
((It wasnt a drow? Eh.. well, the dark wanderer was concealed and looked like a drow, so I guess Wolf could make that mistake.))
-
By Kull's advice, Zoma sets off to the Norwick inn to meet with this 'Edward' whom he never met aside from hearing stories of him being rescued from a waylaid caravan and is currently offering a large reward bounty to those responsible for it.

_Wolf can be seen cleaning up the mess the goblins had made. It seems the goblins saw fit to burn the trees. The druid plants new seeds for the ones lost and offers a blessing. He does not look happy at all.
He was one of few defenders who fended off an army of goblins from Norwick. He had aid from Zoma and a woman named Jenna. The three were nearly felled by the sheer numbers of goblins that charged them, until the norwick scouts came to aid. It was then the goblins set fire to the woods and the crazed druid charged in anger at the army. What happened after that is not known, but there were mumblings of a "mark" and "drow."_

A poster or two appear on the inner walls, advertising a Midsummer Festival.
((If there's any costs to be covered for placing the posters and/or keeping them in place, please contact me.))

*Word on the street is that the half orc named KULL has been sighted draging a skined woman into town and drop her at the Frier´s place. The corpse had a note, writen on his own skinned skin saying something like " heres your daughter old man Edwards, and if you dont move forward and fast the rest will be next After some words with Kia and a a Norwick guard KULL was informed that Edward was staying in the Boarshead Inn, he went there to deleiver the news of his dougter death, the old man demanded to see her, and so his wish was granted. It so happends that after all the skinned woman wasnt his daughter.
The old man asked KULL if he had seen something or some one unusual before seing the skinned woman, to wich KULL replayd that there was this elf that was talking to Wolf and Zoma about some marks. The Old man named Edwards looked at KULL and sayd that Zoma and Wolf where in danger and that they should meet with Edwards and talk, The chancellor of Norwick Lucidious should be in such meeting as well.
He is staying in the Boardshead Inn.// Thank you DM Dr Suess AKA DM Ugly for the great fun! i had a blast!
KULL (Half Orc Barbarian, Training Officer and Major in the Legion)
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!”

Lucidious was seen entering town from the north gate in his formal robes, a shadow mastiff at his side. After a short discussion with the guards at the gate, he makes his way to town hall. Shortly after, a locksmith from the Norick Trading Co. is escorted to the hall by a pair of guardsmen.
-
Not quite sure of what they are actually seeing, some of the townsfolk are speaking of a man running about in FP, a horned helm, and brandishing a blade and shield as well. Oddly enough, the problem lies not with what the man is wearing but the voice that comes from under the helm sounds an awful lot like the former chancellor of Norwick.
One commoner tells of the former Chancellor having a hapless adventurer arrersted for murder.

A stalwart and hardy elf with earthy skin observes the traffic into the makeshift camp with keen, albeit differently colored, eyes. He is silent, though he takes no pains to conceal himself from the woman as she approaches. He stands out of earshot, until the woman leaves, only then drifting into the deeper shadows of the forest to seek other quarry.
