Whispers at the Fire
-
Some of Z's new neighbors from the north stop by, on a routine hike from the Dwarven Hold.
_Dwin is with them, he points at Z and mumbles something in Dwarven. They all bow their heads respectfully and continue on the hike.
The next day, several Rothe-drawn carts show up in Z's new yaerd filled with well-hewn building blocks of good building stone. A note, written hastily says "from your friends in the Hold, use it well.
The dwarves begin unleading the blocks and helping Z with whatever masonry needs he might have._

@5bb705758d=Speedy_Z_:
Over the past few weeks, Z has been spotted clearing a small plot of land, just north of town…
Upon completion of the clearing phase, Z digs a well and then begins construction of a simple, but well crafted, farm house.
Those who pass by, see that he works throughout the day and is often working alone. Occasionally, however, small groups of his crafter and non-crafter friends are seen helping him.
The farm house is beginning to take shape…
///Z will be working on this for a while. Shoot me a tell if you see me IG and want to RP helping him build his farm, getting supplies (lowbie quests), etc.

_A new face has been seen waiting tables at the Boarshead in recent days. Of course, to many who have lived in the lands over the last twenty some years, the face is hardly new, as this woman looks almost exactly like the Chancellor's former advisor Penny, except without the prismatic scales adorning her face.
On her first night working, a child enters the Boarshead looking for Lucidious, bearing a sealed note and a bottle of wine. The new barmaid accepts both items and tips the child, before taking them into the Chancellor's private room. Those sitting nearby report that the Chancellor did a double-take on seeing the woman, and then eventually invited her in with an eager smile, offering her a seat as he opened the letter.
Some time later, she reemerged from the room and returned to her duties, carrying a pair of goblets and an empty wine bottle with her._
-
almost an hour later when the door opens both dwin and lucid seem to be in good spirits and an empty bottle of wine sits on the table before the chancellor. The elf goes back to his ledgers still chuckling at whatever they were talking about as dwin returns to his duties at the barracks.
-
Dwin enters the Boarshead, nods at Barle who tosses him an apple, and heads into the new "Lucid" room, quietly shutting the door.
-
_The next morning, the chancellor arrives at the boarshead to inspect the newly renovated private room on the first floor. He talks with the innkeep about rent before returning to the great hall.
Since then, the chancellor seems to have taken up his old habit of reviewing his ledgers at the boarshead in the evenings over a bottle of wine. For the first few days the pattern is the same, stopping first to speak with the bartender of recent news, paying for a bottle of something red, then working in the private room for a few hours with the door ajar… enough so that those in the common room can see he is working, but can still enter and speak with the chancellor if they wish._
-
Rumor spreads that Penny Lane has resigned her post as an employee of Norwick and an advisor to the Chancellor, at least temporarily. She apparently handed over her badge to an agitated looking Lucidious in a quiet display near the north gate.
-
Corran frowns at that "No, the goblins have definitely been summoning undead and demons recently entirely on their own."
-
When he hears of the rumours that this creature was created or summoned by goblins, Ezachiel remarks that, as far as he can tell, the goblins merely supplied the manual labour, while the actual magic work was done by more powerful creatures. Drow, orcs, who knows?
-
Calendel sits by the fire with locals and adventurers around him answering questions about the recent happenings in the Rawlingswood…
@791f744e2a:
What's that? No no, it is suspected that a Goblin Shaman summoned the Demon from the depths of hell. A Zombie Demon is what is was! William and I stumbled upon it after being told by some new adventurers whom where hunting in the woods that they saw a big winged demon! We quickly went to investigate.
Huh? Oh no, Will didn't exactly hold it off on his own smirks slightly. Together him and I with a few adventurers behind us such as Thorn Drumheller attacked it as best we could. We nearly had both it and the Goblin Shaman fallen before it suddenly charged at the young adventurers behind us Calendel exclaimed with his eyes wide and a look of fear on his face. Will chased the Shaman trying to finish it off while I ran at the demon from behind. I caught up to it, and tried to turn it, forcing it to retreat and leave the weaker fighters alone. Unfortunately, I got to close and thats when it's massive blade struck out and hit me! Calendel shivers slighly as if he was suddenly struck by the blade as he sat telling the story The pain I felt was something I had never felt before… burning... searing flames ravaged through my body. Stumbling back I turned and tried to run only to hear the swooping wind and raging flames as the blade once again was swung at me. That's the last I remember prior to awaking in the Friars! a sad look crosses his face, his eyes closing briefly before reopening as he goes on with his story
Huh? Oh yes, word has it that Will fell next. Not long after me. He heard my screams and turned on the demon himself. He faught bravely with it from what I've been told nearly killing it! Suddenly that pesky Shaman was back and hit him hard from behind with lightening Calendel exclaims as the children around him jump slightly from their still silence. I could just imagine what that must have done to the nearly victorious Will... apparently it shocked him just enough to allow the demon beast to swing it's might sword... leaving Will with the same last moments as I... burning... searing pain....
Uh huh... Serenity and Jeremy Steel fell as well... holds his head in his hands, his face looking tortured as he tries to recall the details of the day.
Aye, it was a sad day for Norwick. Thanks the the greatness of Del the cleric and his faith we were all recovered from the afterlife... Bless Chauntea for sparing me and allowing my return. I recommend all stay clear from the East Rawlingswood for the time being. There's no knowing for sure if other Shaman's are running around with the power to summon such creatures from the Underworld.... Calendel wraps his healers robe around him and slumbers off back towards the Friars
-
_After being raised and gathering his equipment, Jeremy was seen storming out of the southern gate.
He later arrived with the demons head in his hand. Calendel asked for the head, believing it had an evil taint, but Jeremy did not surrender it until Seth spoke about a painting. Jeremy then happily dropped the head at Calendel's feet, leaving a mess, then walking off with Seth & Serenity._
-
_A large demon threatened Norwick. It attacked some adventurers in the woods, who had to run and seek aid in Norwick.
The gong was rung loud and a group of mages, druids, and paladins emerged from the Keep. Wolf, who was worried for his home in the druid glenn, went east, followed by several others.
Outside the glenn they found an army of goblins, which the group bravely fought. With these goblins was the large demon which was incredibly strong, but was killed. Though, the adventurers suffered some losses: William, Serenity, Jeremy, and Calendel.
It is whispered that William held off the demon from attacking the glenn or Norwick, alone. He fell just before the group came to give him aid. The distraction William gave to the demon was long enough to prevent it from attacking. He sacrificed himself for the protection of others…_

_rumor spreads though the boarshead of what appeared to be yuan-ti being escorted though town carrying a few of their fallen, just after a goblin attack on the south gate. The chancellor escorted the group into the friars and seemed to be speaking with them on good terms. Hours later the chancellor emerged from the friars along with the group of yuan-ti, all now alive and well. He led the group back to the south gate where the yuan-ti returned to the wood without incident.
Locals at the boarshead often gossip of a peace agreement with the yuan-ti, though nothing official has been announced from the great hall as of yet._
-
Rumour has it that Ezachiel had a long talk with Kara in the Boarshead, and left looking rather pleased.
-
Dwin hears of Mord's behavior and asks him to stop by his office for a "visit."
-
Mord can be seen leaving the great hall after the most recent goblinattack,ll his lips a thin hard line. He moves to the different guard towers and speaks quietly and adamantly to the guards
If someone walks by they may hear the words Snakes…...orders....it is so fer now as forcefully as needs be said before he moves n to the next post.

Over the past few weeks, Z has been spotted clearing a small plot of land, just north of town.
Occationally, people walking by have noticed him enlisting the aid of a large earth elemental to help move large quantities of earth.
As Z works, he smiles constantly.
