Whispers at the Fire
-
Word spreads of another Red Cloak being drawn off and murdered by ghouls near the south gate. They say his body has yet to be found.
-
:: elves visiting the elf camp quickly come back complaining it is haunted and several mysterious deaths have happened there since::
-
The elven archer known as Aurelia has been spreading the word to all those of pure elven heritage that she feels the location of the former elven encampment in the northern rawlinswood is as safe as it has been in centuries, she hopes her elven kin continue to spread the word in hopes that Elves from afar will return to the outpost.
-
The rumors spread quickly…A cure for the dreaded shade's "Rotting Disease" has, indeed, been discovered by Lady Tristina....
-
Rumors spread about a hin and gemli. Some say the hin peed in gemlis favorite mug, others say that gemli tossed the hin. One thing everyone is certain is that the hin and gemli will propably end up in a never ending vendetta.
-
Recently there has also been some bustle inside the Great Hall of Norwick, sounds of nailing, hammering, and sawing echoes throughout out the hall, usually only in the morning and the afternoon. One dwarf is seen carrying a large blueprint, and laying it on the ground looking at it from a distance. He nods in satisfaction and picks the paper up, walking into the Hall. Later, several more bodies can be seen carrying in a bunch of new things, such as carting in a rectangular shaped stone, a gong, statues, tables and chairs. A few rolled up carpets lay outside the hall in the sunshine shortly before being taken in by them.

Kull was sitting under the shade of the watch tower at norwicks south gate when the group of adventurers passes by. They look beat and tired, and show evident signs of beeing envolved in skirmishes, judging for the bad condition of their armors
Guess y´all been havin sum fon, eh ladds? * nods his aproving nod at the brave warriors.* Dats d´spirit !! raises a bottle of ale at the group and gulps the ale down in just one go

_A half dozen dwarven masons and construction workers begin work building what appears to be a largish warehouse looking building in the Northern area of town.
The Dwarf known as the "Foreman" supervises the work, passes out the food and ale 3 times per day, presides over morning prayers, and makes general comments on the progress.
The Chancellor stops by regularly and chats with the foreman, and any who are within earshot would hear discussion of the newly formed "Norwick Trading Company," and its future use of the new building._

((
can we get some clarification on what this means:
@4038b969e9:
On a side note, the number of random deaths in and around the village continues to rise in count by one with each passing day.
this is the first i am hearing of it….

Recent activity around the south gate and then farther, perhaps as far south as the abandoned camp, has centered again on the Apothocary as a haphazard band of mis-adventurers was seen leaving Norwick in the cover of darkness. They were gone for most of a whole day then, with several upset greenskinned foes on their heels, they appeared again, beaten, bruised, and generally worse for the wear as the sun was again setting over the village. Since their return, Trisitina has been noticably absent from her usual post in the Apothocary.
Looking for her in her usual stay will be difficult as it is rumored she has retreated behind locked doors to the second floor of the building, busy at work on something.
On a side note, the number of random deaths in and around the village continues to rise in count by one with each passing day.

_Lord Dolvak can be seen discussing some matters with Tornar Redanvil.
Rumor has it that the dwarven mage has signed on to be a member of the famed South Nars Militia, and has also accepted a position as "Counselor of all Fun things, Fight Nights, and Entertainment" or some such title after his recent success._

A broadly proportioned dwarven lass lays face down on a particularly hard and comfortable rock. She seems to be enjoying the warmth of the sun on her body and the heat radiating from the rock. She wears a thin shift, and apparently little else, that has apparently surrendered its original shape to the needs of her ample bosom and buttocks. Her face is screwed up in concentration, her tongue sticking out to the side as she jots down a list of words on a narrow scrap of parchment. When she's done, she sets the list on one of the stone benches by the fire with a small rock on it to keep it from blowing away.
The list reads:
Then a short break before continuing…
She totters off, swigging ale and scratching her ass, singing off key:
"Dwin's 'ammer's vary funk-shunull
When 'e uses it te thump da skull
O' dat fren'ly 'alf wit Kull
Jest fer bein' un numbskull…"
-
A lovely looking dwarven lass in light purple, blue and grey armor was seen hawking ale and wine at the last fight night. She apparently kept threatening to bellow at people until they purchased all her ale and wine.
-
A small undead attack occured, and it seems that one of the guard was killed in it. Oddly, Aramuil and a guard took the body to Tristina to be recovered and the guard was apparently restored to life, but later ran from the apothecary, screaming in madness, and then impaled himself on his sword just north of the crafting hall.
-
The Chancellor hears of this and quickly issues orders.
The bugbears mightbe stakin their claim again in that cave.
he turns to the closest Red Cloak
Go find one o me senior officers and tell them to go take some men and check it out. I dont care who.
-
While visiting Norwick, Aurelia informs the guards of a Summoning Portal in the small cave south of old Norwick, she tells them there was blood at the entrance and two humanoids staked on pikes outside the entrance, she did not see anyone who may be responsible for the scene.
-
There was a massive, day-long struggle between those that defend Norwick and a massive force of undead, which seemed to appear out of thin air. One powerful skeleton even entered the Great Hall and there was some external damage to the Great Hall by an earthquake. Commander Mord Cabro, Advisor Arcane Aramuil Holimion, Theaon Thorn and Kelemvorite Natasha tried to enter the graveyard, but large boulders seem to block entrance to it. In the end, the battle was won in favor of Norwick without major casualties, but many were wounded and the entire fighting force of Norwick was left exhausted from the long struggle.
Many notables were involved in the fight, but of particular note to many were Aramuil Holimion, Norwick's Advisor Arcane, he was involved in the combat from the beginning and downed many many undead with powerful magics. Others point to the heroism of Militia Commande Mord Cabro and Divine Shield Knight Elenwyd whom combated the undead up close and personal. Still others point to the clerical powers of Theaon, Natasha and Jirka.

General Grag was seen entering Norwick he was seen by Kull and Orcish grunts were flown in Kulls way for a bit then Grag seemingly was paying these bards to Stop singing about Kull the Dull " I nae ned ye makin a specticle ovra sum damm undeeders… Legion nut glory hounds!" then he slips the bar maid some coin and buys everyone in there a round of Dolvak Dark and swiftly left clinging his cloak back over his shoulder
-
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.
