Whispers at the Fire
-
Rumor spreads that there was some kind of dueling contest in the Friars Fred House …which involved well known people such as Maythor, Attentus, Zoma, Kull, the wizard Abner and Rando....rumors said that it was a small hin the one who accounted more victories...
-
Rando laughs when hearing the so called arguement
" you know i asked him into town, i even said please…. hardly a arguement....i was being all nice and friendly to him"
-
There was an argument between Rando and the wizard known as Ezachiel around the north gate recently. When Ezachiel arrived, Rando was standing inside the gates, and asked him to come inside. Ezachiel backed up, and while he kept his distance, they talked for a couple of minutes, with Ezachiel mentioning things that had happened in the past
//those with long memories might remember Rando decapacitating Ezachiel in the middle of Norwick before discarding the body and head outside the South Gate//
After casting some defensive spells, Ezachiel entered, and they talked about holding a duel. When Ezachiel said that he did not want one to the death, Rando walked away, and Ezachiel left Norwick shortly after.

word spreads amongst the townsfolk of an unrest in the caves around Jiyyd and Norwick alike. Talk of horrid creatures with burns about their bodies drifts in and out of the regular talk between commoner and adventurer. There is mention of several horned beasts taking a few hapless adventurers captive and stories of the horrors they wittnessed.
Unsure as to what exactly happened, all that can be readily agreed upon is a certain disturbance upon entering and wandering thru the caves in the area.
Perhaps unrelated, perhaps not as rumors go, Sir Edwards was seen, or so it is said, to have left town alone and under the cover of darkness. The seemingly frail old man wandered out of the south gate as reported by the guards and has not returned even several days later. Oddly, the ground has been felt to shake unexplainably now and again since his departure.
-
The Chancellor was seen walking through the south gate from the forest recently, looking rather wet, angry, and nervous. Not too long after a pair of giant bears were seen walking in after him. He tried to ignore them, but to no avail. He finally managed to divert their attention by setting a bottle of wine on the ground, which they smashed and then drank from happily. However, before the Chancellor was able to sneak away the bears were done and continued to follow him through town. It wasn't until the skilled hands of an animal expert pulled out some fresh honey cake that the bears left him alone. Following her back outside on a quest for cake.
-
A patrol of highly seasoned and tough Militiamen lead by Rando were seen leaving the south gate all highly armed and heading towards the woods. About half a day later the patrol is seen heading back looking pleased with themselves carrying four blood soaked bags that were making a clinking sound like metal collars would. The patrol head towards the barracks but the bags are carried to the town hall

_Those who did not attend the meeting hear some rumors of it. It seems several people had questions about the Druid Circle and weather or not they would be a conflict to others. Other questions included, if the Yuan-ti and saurials were driven out, would Norwick aid in the rebuilding of the elven camp? Other things included town defenses, territories of Norwick, a certain person drinking blood in the middle of the meeting, and the tower being built in the western Rawlins.
When the meeting was over, some of the druids leaving looked forlorn, or perhaps angry at some of what was said.
Luckly, no all out fights broke out during the meeting between anyone, that in itself is a plus._
-
Locals at the boarshead mention the town hall meeting will be taking place in the next few days (tonight at 8pm est). Seems the Chancellor is expected to speak on his position toward the "lizard folk" as well as druid circle. Any and all are welcome to attend.

Rumors spread that the druid circle is in secret meetings with the yuanti and that their last interest is the survival of Norwick.

_The sound of battle rings through Norwick, one morning, as goblins pour from the woods and wave after wave comes at the gate. A small party of adventurers keeps fighting them off at the critcal gate, while the town milita keeps all the other entrances covered. The day is eventually saved by two rather huge half-orcs that make a timely appearance to cut down goblins who broke through the line of defenders.
Eventually a small gang of bugbears assaults the gates, even tearing down the gate. With the gate gone, fearful cries of the town is doomed can be heard, and indeed a few lone bugbears charge right through the defenders into the town, leaving the adventurers in the difficult position to protect the gate or try to save the militia inside the town some work.
By sheer luck the gate is not overwhelmed while most of the adventurers are chasing after a lone bugbear who's lose inside the town. Eventually Thuggrim, a powerful servant of Garagos, gathers up the benches from by the fire and creates a small makeshift blockade, slowing the still coming goblins down. Not long after this was done the goblins and bugbears seem to give up, leaving the town alone.
Reportedly even Shannon was sighted at the gate, though he seemed rather disgruntled at a priestess of a different faith, quite intent on insulting her and telling her to shut up. Whether or not that was warranted is an entirely different question._
((Thanks to Maythor and just everyone there
I haven't had that much fun in a town attack for quite a while ;))

As drunken revelry turns to drunken cursing each night, the topic of a prissy queen of the forest seems to have become more common of late…
-
Star who was on the trip watches Penny for a while from the shadows before telling her that she saw the dragon, and it was purple.
-
Word of dragons brings Penny out of the woodwork as well. The pink haired bard, in her regular visits through Norwick, makes a point to chat up more guards and listen in on more conversations in the hopes of nabbing a tidbit of information on said dragon.
-
Rando on hearing this news about nice lights and more importantly a dragon or two dispatches two of the guard to see if they could send Rando a report as it would be good to know if the said dragons were a danger to Norwick
-
_A large band of elves was seen exiting the south gates of Norwick and heading towards the eastern Rawlinswood. Among the dozen or so adventurers were such famous elven heros and heroines as Aelthas and Eluriel and a whole bunch of others seemingly sharing a common goal with each other.
When the troupe returned few days later, there were whispers of a trip to Underdark, of beautiful but dangerous living lights, of demons and antpeople, and even a mention or two of a huge dragon.
The elves all seemed to return in a good condition and their ways departed with promises of another reunion soon._
-
Rumor has it a Banite was heard asking for an audience with the Chancellor… regarding what is questionable.
-
Rumor has it that a small group of druids, a paladin, and several freelance adventurers interdicted a massive attack by, among other things, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, umber hulks, and even a war machine as all seemed to be massing for an attack!
While grievous injuries were sustained, both to the brave defenders and the forest itself, all appear to be on the mend. New growth has even sprung up near the glenn in several areas that were obviously only recently devastated by fire!
While several in town report that the fighting persisted after the initial defenders withdrew, it should be noted that the druids again moved out into the woods near the glenn, and at least one is rumored to be closely watching for any signs of further moves against the glenn or the town.
-
Expanding on the explosions a deaf skald was seen yelling at people south of Norwick about still being hard of hearing days later. This may be attributed to his being at ground zero of one of the explosions. That they went off to explore seems like just a really bad idea.
"Hope he isn't the one they depend on to stand guard" one of the gate militia comments as Jerr and the others head off.
-
Rumors from the recent Fight Night describe a series of explosions rocking Town Hall from the inside. Apparently, some cleverly placed explosives inside the ale kegs that were earmarked for the event sent people scrambling for cover and left several attendees, including the bartender, deaf for a few hours. Soon after, another explosion rocked the Chancellor's office, supposedly destroying most everything inside, with the exception, miraculously, of a painting that was seen leaving the premises with Penny Lane after the competitions concluded.
-
_A relatively small group of defenders repelled a substantial assault on the south gate. Well organized andle to using smart tactics, they were able to repel the goblins, umberhulks and bugbears without any casualties.
With the exception of the gates, which will need to be replaced for the umpteenth time._
