  • _A big ol' Yellow Kitty often comes up to Ragnhild and then lays with her, revently watching the fire with her, waiting

    Also, a slew of pixies are seen checking out the half finished cave project in the northeast corner… could they be moving in?_



  • Following her husband Zoma's departure from Narfell, Ragnhild seems at first angry, upset, frustrated, saddened and worried, all at once. The warrioress's sleep suffers and her temper is short, until one early morning, when suddenly all the fight seems to have gone out of her. Leaning on her young daughter Lycka as if for support, Ragnhild walks outside to prepare breakfast but instead ends up staring into the fire, her eyes reflecting a deep loss. She spends the day sitting motionless at the fire, her right hand clutched over her heart. Only the presence of her daughters stirs any response with Ragnhild that day, and in the days to follow. She embraces the girls often but seems to lack the energy to do much else, her face a still mask of grief.



  • Calendel, overhearing the gossip while on a short visit to the camp responds to some of the women there that perhaps it was some meal prepared by Horbag in Norwick with tainted meat….



  • _A conversation that started off as normal between Lilin and Zoma suddenly turned for the worse, in a mix of confusion and bitterness between the pair.

    Gossips amongst the women in the camp mention that Zoma seemed to be behaving differently than what he was known to be but older members of the camp seemed to recalled that Zoma behaved the same manner when he was very young many years ago.

    Arrogant.

    Jerk.

    Careless and thoughtless with words.

    Cold and distant.

    Words filled with venom.

    Before leaving a fuming and stressed out Lilin alone, Zoma could be heard saying "….This is whom I really am, my true nature."_



  • Dart mentions that he saw the beautiful Elven mage Paiden accompany the treasure hunters and then blushes a bit.

    "Not that I paid much attention…", Dart comments.



  • _On a lighter note, a merry band of adventurers recently set out into the spider woods on a treasure hunt, lead by a lovely, plump and well-groomed female named Berta.. reported to be a right cow (literally). Notable gypsy camp dwellers like Aelthas, the redheaded warrior known as Melody, Ragnhild and Zoma were part of the treasure hunting team, aswell as Keira, Gears and the bubbly hin Cloudberry, the ranger Belor, a warrioress named Albryanna and a female mage (who's name eludes me at the moment).

    The group return days later, covered in spider webs, gnoll blood and unspecified gooey stuff, all looking tired but well pleased, arms filled treasure. Lycka and Asha later boast to any that would listen about their parents exploits, including the slaying of a giant gnoll and an even larger spider. The girls then giggle excitedly, hurrying off to Lilin's garden to plant a strange looking seed from the treasure trove._



  • _Based from the recent event in the cold caves with the encounter of Zara, Zoma could be seen somewhat looking depressed compared to his usual unreadable expression.

    Whatever had happened, it seemed to have reminded him a piece of his past, unable to sleep well or rest with comfort which results him in a blackeyed state of this recent._



  • _An overjoyed Ragnhild could recently be seen in the camp with her fellow Guardians, preparing to set out on a trip to the cold caves in order to test the bite of her wicked-looking new dragon-fanged spear, as well as scout out the recent ogre activities. An impressive group left for the caves, consisting of Guardians Attentus, Horbag, Ragnhild, Wog and Zoma, alongside the Umberlite priestess Taria and Keira of the Sisterhood. Spirits seemed high upon leaving, but when the group returned after a lenghty abscence, their mood was significantly darker. Ragnhild now appears more protective than usual of her children, aswell as keeping a watchful eye on the children of the camp.

    The camp elders are warned of a powerful darkclad woman calling herself Zara being encountered in the caves, accompanied by a host of shadows and a small group of children. The fate of the latter is disclosed in hushed whispers, Ragnhild's face growing terribly grim as she tells the story._



  • _Keira is more visible around the camp, prowling around often in Lilin's company and keeping an eye on those Sisterhood orphans that are currently resident. Occasionally she can even be roped into playing hide and seek with them or other rough and tumble games.

    Maybe she isn't a black-hearted monster after all, or perhaps there's a more sinister reason for her increased interest._

  • _Recently, Zoma can be seen carrying a very unusual, but magnificent looking spear, no doubt crafted by the finest of the finest weapon crafter in Narfell.

    The tip of the spear is unique in that it is not forged by any kind of metal, but instead what may seem to be a giant tooth from a certain terrifying creature. The air around the one eyed swordsman seems to be cold and one wonders if the source comes from the very tip of the spear itself._



  • _As the morning sun begins cresting towards noon, a number of the guards about the camp give sudden signals to each other, all watching as multiple footprints begin appearing at the head of the pass and moving towards the central fires.

    After a few minutes there is a shimmering, and the odd sight of a number of women and children wearing the colors and clothing of the featherlights takes form in a long line, many still holding onto the ropes that tie the Romani scattered amongst them together by the waist. Jeni and Jonni both come bolting from Cera's tree as soon as word is sent.

    The featherlights are led off into the inner camp where they are given food and blankets, while the Romani men and few women untie themselves, and stumble off to their own tents, Jonathan and Cerena who were among them telling them to rest well for a job well done. Jeni, Jonni, Jonathan and Cerena all head back towards Cera's tree, with a few words being exchanged chief among them Jonathan's…_

    "Couldn't get them all Jonni. They didn't take well to the "witchcraft" trickery of using invisibility to get out…"



  • The Prismatic and Black Warriors are seen dragging in in two's and threes, filthy, exhausted…. grabbing something to eat, sleeping a few hours and heading back out again.
    Mira has taken command of both sets, sending them out on Scouting trips close to Norwick, trying to ascertain where their Commander(s) are being held. So far, they have reported to have seen no sign whatsoever of any of those captured, except for a trail of blood and dragged feet into Norwick proper



  • //OOC on

    I'm not interested in being involved with this, OOCly, for many reasons.

    Thank you.

    //OOC off.



  • _Raver, up checking on her men finds the gruesome sight, and stares at it for a long while…. before a low growl rises over the mysts....
    sending the birds to flight, and even the sleeping children in the camp whimper from the sound that disturbs their dreams.

    She turns and calls all the Warriors together, showing them the arm before she takes it down._

    Find him. I don't care if Norwick is never retaken, I don't care if another archer stands on an Jiyyd hill…. we find our brother.

    She quietly gives a few orders to all the squads, before taking the arm to Jeni's safe care and going in search of Miss Lilin



  • _A gruesome sight is found at the entrance of the Gypsy Camp at sunrise. A disembodied arm is pinned fully into a tree by a shimmering bastard sword, emitting a soft white light.

    The arm is mutilated, the area along the wrist seeing heavy damage and deep black colored wounds, almost like burns, trail up and down along the length. The end appears almost as if its been ripped from a body, blood still dripping from it. If the palm is inspected, one would see a strange image. It appears to be an image seared into the flesh; a Dragon displayed upon a banner, the symbol of the prismatic dragons of the gypsy camp.

    Upon the arm, up near the bicep, is a pink arm band._



  • On his way to Camp Duj to check on the refugees therein, Dwin mentions that there was a major battle at the Hill last night, and that he did not see Aelthas there…though the confusion of hundreds of goblins and bugbears did not allow him to see everyone.



  • Raver's already been looking for Aelthas, as she has a bit of a reward for him from his men. No one seems to have seen him for several days, but she's heard to remark to Will that she's not worried, he's been known to disappear.



  • _Mira, Aelthas' second in command is seen entering camp, she keeps quiet as she enters camp and heads to Jonni's tent. She spends hours inside, when she finally walks out, her face is one of sadness and she heads directly back to the Norwick front.

    Within hours, the rumors begin to spread that Commander Aelthas has not been seen for several days and no one knows where he went._
