Whispers at the Fire
-
_Rumors fly that the "former" banite mage, known as Ezachiel, was seen talking with a demon who was causing havoc throughout the nars. When a Yuan-ti came to help destroy the demon, Ezachiel protected the demon and attacked the Yuan-ti instead.
After said event, a bare-footed druid limps through town, looking inredibly angry and looking like he had been torn apart. Blood covered was his bark and his bark also seemed to be letting off some smoke._
-
RUmors arise of General Grag and Milshot speaking on sams hill then abruptly vanishing to discuss "something important" not much else is known….
-
When leaving their shift and relaxing at the Boarshed two guards are talking about some woman in full plate talking with some half-orc about undead in the Rawlins.
Some dungsweapers say that the woman and the half-orc later went to the Rawlins, others say that all this about undead and bones from dead animals are just stories to scare the children living in Norwick.
-
Rumor has it that the Chancellor was recently seen walking through town from the south fire with a new hairstyle. Instead of his usual, straight silvery hair, Lucidious' locks were pulled back into two long, symmetrical braids.
-
South of Norwick at the south gates Alexi and an elf curled up into a white ball with a hood covering her face could be heard in quite emotional distress. They could be seen exchanging serval not so friendly words to say the least the least. In the end the elf ran off into the woods…... and Alexi could be seen walking over to the boarshead eyeing an ale glass for the next several hours. Since then...whatever happened to alexi has left him with quite a look of anquish on his face as he can often be heard saying "why her...... why?" He rarely says anything else if at all besides that. Not even an occasional chuckle can be heard from him or even hinted at. When not eyeing an ale glass his whole demenur and look can be seen as have changed a lot ... as if he had lost somthing very dear to him.

Norwick Militiaman Kalith has been taking to his patrols with unusual glee of late. Something has put a bounce to his step and has brought a slight grin to his face.
-
_Rumors around the Boarshead indicate that Chancellor Lucidious, sometime after the attempt on his life, had his silver longsword sharpened to such a degree that it would be capable of splitting even a single hair in two.
One patron, clad all in black with a thick gypsy accent, upon hearing the rumor, snickered and asked when the Chancellor had learned how to use a sword in the first place._
-
_Several guards enter the northern gates, discussing an altercation at Badger Hill with Peltarch Guardians.
It seems that Senator Eowiel from Peltarch led a group of Peltarch Defenders and Far Scouts towards Norwick. She never really said what she came for, but it involved certain "threats" that were made against her, supposedly by Rando.
Commander Dwin happened to be on the Badger Hill as they approached with their weapons drawn._
"Lucky we were on patrol, aye?"
"Aye, as soon as I heard the news, I gathered some men and we ran to the hill to back up ole Baldy!"
_Soon, a larger number of Norwick Guards and Scouts appeared on the scene, behind the Commander. They fanned out and took obvious "control" of the Hill.
The Senator and the Commander chatted for a while. At first it seemed a bit..contentious. By the end, they were friendly…or at least courteous to each other. The Senator was curious about Rando's fate. She said that Rando had threatened her life, and that she was travelling with an armed guard because of these threats. The Commander told her very little, as the investigation is "ongoing."
She also seemed very curious about Norwick Law and its current boundaries... which ole Dwin had no problem explainin' to her.
The evening grew late, and the Senator eventually led her men off to Jiyyd where they had "business" to attend to... though not before Dwin invited to them to stay the night in Norwick to avoid the Drow threat._
-
On his next visit to the borshead for his usual bottle of wine, patrons may notice the chancellor talking quietly with barley on recent rumors of vincent and his bottle of wine. The chancellor shows a small smile and leaves a generous tip before returning to the hall.
-
rumor has it, vincent was spotted in the boarshead inn carrying a bottle of what appeared to be rather old wine.
-
Fad watches Lucidious, then heads south towards the glenn
Hate to say 'I told you so', 'specially to a friend, but….
-
The Keeper of Spellweaver stops in at the Boarshead for another breakfast of ham and eggs. Afterwards, he heads to the south gate and briefly inspects the surrounding woods, before turning back and asking the guards if they have heard anything from the saurials.
-
_*Keira is seen more often around Norwick, mostly in conversation with the clerical staff at what used to be Friar Fred's, but also with others of the citizens. She takes careful notes of the discussions in her anatomy text.
It seems she's doing some work for Father Dagon of Oscura regarding disease incidence in the Region. She pays particular interest to those in common public view and contact, like the merchants and sentries, since they're likely to have the greatest exposure to carriers.
No, there's nothing specific to worry about, just routine enquiry.*_
-
having gone missing for a few days, the chancellor can be seen once again walking about the town, if only to fetch his usual bottle of wine from the boarshead. He says very little to anyone and appears very weak, putting more weight on his staff than usual. Every now and again, some might notice the chancellor finger a mark on his throat with a frown, often followed by a few sharp curses in elven.
-
Rumors also go around about Senator Aarron Ashald down in Norwick at the time of the incident and he was seeking Rando. He walked right into town and demanded to see him, not looking to afraid about the 20000 gold bounty on his head. He apparently spoke to him in his cell and left the town shortly after, heading straight for Peltarch, talking to a few of his bodyguards.
-
Rumors fly through Norwick and to the lands around.
Chancellor Lucidious has been killed by the hands of his own guards.
Rando is said to be locked into a cell and waits for his death sentnece for his murder fo the chanccellor.
The Yuanti enslaved the chancellor and Rando killed him in self defense.
Guards and militia swarm about the barracks and the great hall lettign none in but their own.
-
Whispers say that Penny and Luc are getting married.
-
_Rumors begin to spread after the recent installment of Fight Night about a nearly continuous set of awkward exchanges between Penny and Lucidious. For the better part of the evening, Penny walked around in a long blue and white robe, tracking Lucidious with sideways glances, while Lucidious could be seen stammering more than usual and avoiding eye contact with Penny.
What ever could've happened now?_
-
_Rumor has it that there was a solo bout at the High HarvestTide Festival, between Grag and the Champion of Norwick.
Its said that Rando was beaten into unconsciousness without ever laying a weapon on Grag._
-
Raisa simply shakes her head whenever she is told about the Legion and Militia situation. "This is why my people save contests for holidays and times of peace. There is no time for childish games in battle, and no honor in standing alone when you yourself banish your allies."
