Whispers at the Fire



  • Several of the Red Cloaks, including Plato (who is normally found near the fire) chuckle about the rumor that the Chancellor is going to outlaw any further bard-singing about Kull, mostly on account of the fact that nothing good rhymes with "Kull" and the songs thus far have been very disappointing to the ear.



  • There's one bard in Narfell that never put fingers to lyre, or tongue to lyric, that had anything to do with any adventurer named Kull. The obvious distaste in his eyes if any kind of request was put to him said it all.

    "What does this "Kull" do, go around paying bards to sing of lesser exploits?" is heard from him when asked. "Well he certainly hasn't payed me."

    The bard, dressed up in white and copper, then proceeds to sing about himself, sending the last few stragglers of the decaying and worm-infested inn he is performing in – the only place his few measly gold pieces would get him into -- screaming for the comfort of a wet and cold moss bed in the woods.

    all over norwick, folk talk about the undead attack that happend in the night before. Folk talk about the brave group of warriors that go about by the name KULL, Sywin, Aramuil, Sald , Belia , Moradim and Eluriel. Bards in norwick write ferneticaly on pieces of parchement their next new songs about these courageous group of men and woman. thier songs not only talk about the outstanding victory of good before evil.. but also talked about the two Norwick Guards that fell defending their home town

  • :: a great new game has spread throughout Norwick for a couple weeks. Apparently after hearing that Kull stopped a 'possible' attack it is now common practice for a commoner to claim something similar to much rejoicing and drinking by his fellows. Common ones seem to be:

    "Ay kill'd a possible dragon today"
    "Ay slept with a gurl that possibly the chancellor's daughter"
    "I possibly drink more than ye!"
    "It possible I might stop drinkin today!"

    All and all it seems good natured leading to many happily drunk commoners::



  • The Lord Chancellor orders all singing bards locked up if they don't stop singing that Kull-Killed-Him-Some-Zombies Song.


  • ICC

    Along the main towns in the nars, all bards sing in the main inns, the tale of three adventurers that go about by the mighty warrior KULL, and the druids Sald and Belia for defending norwick from a possible undead attack. The bards sing about the bravery shown by both Sald and Belia for fighting dozens of undead minions and last but not least their chieftain, they sing about the epic will to resist all the temptions and offers of unlimited power offered by the very master of the undead

  • the guard known as Scott the Good is seen stumbling his way to the Apothocary. he looks like hell and smells about the same…

    He enters the place and remains...



  • :: The familiar voice, now stopping in Norwick more often now that its a more reasonable southern alternative than the mind befuddling "Legion town" scoffs at hearing of the Legionairre's victory ::

    "Must be the new envoy from the hamlet formerly known as Jiyyd using his diplomacy skills."

    :: Speaking with unusual eloquence, changing his tonality for emphasis ::

    "Is this what Norwick can expect from the new bully regime to the north east?"

    :: In between his passioned phrases, he makes sure he offers and buys more and more embibement to anyone gathered who is willing to receive it, hoping to achieve the effect of a well liquored mob ::

    "Where does this Maythor stand anyway? Is he more Legion or Former Chancellor of Norwick? A drunken boast by one of his half orc of superior intellect leads to him beating the Champion of Norwick! But what of the Legionaire who's drunken ramblings started this mess? Where is his beating?"

    :: As the melodic voice ratchets up the tempo to a forceful staccato, the cloak covering the familiar shape opens, revealing a blue armor familiar to some. ::

    "Hasn't Norwick been razed enough times to have learned nothing good comes from Legion diplomacy!"

    :: The barkeep can barely keep up with the quantity of ale being consumed and ordered ::

    "There is more intelligence and diplomacy but less consequence from the actions of a herd of swine! Just a bit of a smell!"

    :: In the drunken uproar its not hard for the cloaked form to slip our the side door and into the night quickly moving away from anyone who may still be awake at this late hour. ::



  • _Fendon later looks for Maythor to let him know that he has been summoned to speak with the Lord Chancellor about his 'issue'.

    Maythor emerges from the Great Hall a short time later, smiling, and smelling of ale. He's also munching on a new sack of cookies._



  • It is said Maythor came into town, rather angry, looking for the person or persons who were speaking bad about the legion. It is also said that Maythor and Maya fought unarmed, with obviously no malice, and the though the battle was close, Maythor proved victorious.

    Maythor helped Maya off the ground, and they spoke quietly afterwards.



  • After a recent incursion by ghasts, Cherry who was found laying in her own dried vomit on pillows under Selene's canopy, recooperates for aseceral days in the pothecary.After being tore near all to peices by the first wave of ghasts, it seems she had been bitten too and was physically incaapble of traveling more than for fresh air once in awhile.

    …Word of Kull's boasts and ale-speak travel around Norwick quickly...even making its way to Lord Dolvak's throne...

    On his way out of the tavern kull was also eared in a dispirited tone of voice complaining about how could some men of "power" had the courage to send a woman, even if how brave she is, to do a man´s obligation…

    (//on a side not, please do keep in mind that this is an IC statment, i dont want all our narfy girls to start acusing me of machist 😜 *hugs all our narfy girls :hug: )

    @037cb0d770:

    …Maybe is best though, he challenge me to duel of honor first. If beat me, then maybe have chance against Minotaur Champion.
    Have him come see Maya. Tell him bring axe, and leave words and ale behind...

    Maya´s words get to kull ears

    Kull simple answers:

  • Maythor puts down his ale and and crafting hammer and pick's up his axe then goes lookin for Maya and Dwin.



  • Maya responds…

    I know Kull is good warrior. Is tall, strong, and good with axe. I have beat Minotaur Champion twice before, but now Champion have practice.

    If Kull wish to show he believe in deed, not words behind mug of ale, then I arrange duel for Kull with Minotaur Champion.

    Maybe is best though, he challenge me to duel of honor first. If beat me, then maybe have chance against Minotaur Champion.

    Have him come see Maya. Tell him bring axe, and leave words and ale behind.



  • Word of Kull's boasts and ale-speak travel around Norwick quickly…even making its way to Lord Dolvak's throne...

    Seems that the Legionnaires are more about talk than helpful action lately. If Kull thinks he can do better than Maya, then I'm an elf… But all the same--what we need right now is action and cooperation. Ale-threats don't hurt minotaurs, steel and blessins do...

    @7df146b739=DrDreadLock:

    Word spreads of the Champion of Norwick…being beaten in a duel with a minotaur...

    *Sitting inside norwicks tavern, KULL can be eard saying betwin two or three Mugs of ale, how not the minotaurs could hold on on a duel against KULL.

    Dem no kuld no survive on a duel aginst mees sips sips dem wanna test dem battle prowess and strenth aginst sum un, dem no shuuld test dat aginst un yuummie, sips sips dem want see how tough dem be? hits chest with right fist aginst mee dem shuuld fight!

  • Council of Moradin

    Farly Toebuckle was seen being asked by members of the Legion for an audience of some sort. It is said that Theaon, Kull and William of the Legion went inside the Crafter's Hall in Norwick with Maythor and Farly where they stayed for hours. Later Farly was seen around the fire muttering in Dwarven more than usual.



  • _Word spreads of the Champion of Norwick, Maya, being beaten in a honorable duel with a minotaur. Later being brought back from death by the minotaurs themselves. Even though most people were simply talking about killing them the whole time.

    It is also said a Illmatari wizard named Lady Aithe was tending to both the wounded Champion and the wounded minotaur, or at least trying to, the minotaur refusing any treatment._



  • Rumours spread about possibly encroaching "Corrupted" goblins, as Ivor gives tale about a "biggun" goblin coming over south of the old south gate remains, and slaughtering the normal goblins outside the cave near the lake. He talks of even one smaller goblin running towards town and hiding around the cliff by the old south gate ruins, as an example of how terrified it was.
