Rumors fly around Jyiid that several Drow warriors have been seen in the swamp. It was witnessed by a group of adventurers that wen to rescue a fallen adventurer, but not only they found the body of the fallen one but few hours later they also came across agroup of heavly armed Drow. before the obvious number inferiority, the group of brave men and woman had to retreat to jyiid and stood fast by the swamp entrance.

_As the darkness of the previous night begins to lift, a figure can be seen on the southern hill overlooking the town, with a loose shirt, simple cloth breeches and a hand and a half sword in her hand. As the morning moves on, the red headed woman continues her training regime with the large looking sword ; ducking, dodging and weaving an intricate dance of death against the imaginary training foes.
Only when the sun rises fully into the morning sky, does she stop and then subsequently retire to the campfire nearby to offer morning prayers.
Whatever the cause, the woman appears to be quite relaxed afterwards._
-
_Theaon can be seen speaking to a group of numerous watchmen
"Rando is not to be allowed within Jiyyd. You are all well aware of the reasons so there is no need to explain them again."_
-
After what happend in Rando trial, Major KULL was heard barking at his men to close the gate and open it after the traveler that wishes to enter identify him/her self. An increase of solders is seen behind all 3 gates in jyiid, two guards both sides of the gate

a week has passed since Major Kull was arrested under the acusation of insubordination. He steps out of the Legion dungen, heads to his room to grab his equipment, stop by the mess area, eats and drinks and steps out of the Legion front gate making his way out of jyiid and starts another patrol along the nars, like nothing happend

_Among the first to meet the real threat, back on that bad day, was a small group of Sails. Perhaps because they suspected a deception, perhaps because they aren't known to risk their necks in bad odds. Whatever the reasons, the four lend their arms to driving the kobolds all the way back to Ormpur and beyond.
Now, as things settle down, Pavel can be found showing any and all interested people how to use a staff with lethal intent. He makes no difference between ages, teaching young boys as willingly as old maids._

_In what spare time Celestria might have, she offers her aid in cleaning up rubble, preparing to rebuild, acting as watch, giving away food and offering words of encouragement as well as tending to any wounded who wish Torm's healings. She offers her help to General Grag and the Legion in whatever way they may need her while she is there.
When the opportunity arises, she spends time with the children ((provided there are any)) easing their fears, having story times, making games out of the clean up and speaking to them of Torm and how his followers slay evils that do things like this._
-
Dwin leaves word with Grag and the rest that whatever remains of his farm can be used as a headquarters of sorts, as long as it remains somewhat defended.
He also asks that people not tread to heavily on the floor planks near the center of his living room. Grag and the others of the Legion will no doubt remember what's under there…
-
Ivor can be seen entering the town one day, inspecting the damage, rubbing the stubble under his chin thoughtfully. He seems to observe the non-adventuring residents, noting their condition. Afterward, he is seen talking quietly with some of them, ocassionally handing a meat pie to some of the very destitute ones…
-
Once word of the attack reaches the camp, a tall blonde warrioress sets off towards Jiyyd with long, easy strides. Ragnhild soon arrives at the Guardian Sanctuary east of Jiyyd and frowns, inspecting the damage to buildings and lands. She kindly hands out her own coal-coated cooking to any farmers desperate enough to accept such offerings, and leaves word with the Legion that she will be staying at the sanctuary for the time being, aiding in the defense of the town.
-
For some time after the battle, Z is seen patrolling the eastern farmlands with a huge water elemental.
With a shovel in one hand and a holy symbol in the other, he spends the next couple of days helping the farmers put out the remaining fires and blesses each field in the name of Chauntea.
In addition, rumor has it, that a large sum of gold was captured from the giants and was promptly donated to help the farmers rebuild their farms and replant their crops.
((Thanks for a great event!!! DrD and Lucid))
-
In the aftermath of the attack, Dentin has spent a good amount of time around Jiyyd, putting out fires and repairing what could, calling on Gond's Mending occasionally. He often mutters about the constant threats.
-
Word as it that Major kull was arrested. And his beeing held in the Legion cells. It seems that after a long discussion, general Theaon gave the arrest order for desobeying orders and insuburdination

_The eastern part of town is now laying in ruins, the burnt out husks of what once used to be the homes of the citizens now filter smoke into the air as they smolder. The farms on the east road have a similar fate and some farmers are moving into town while they rebuild their homes..
After a high alert of an army orcs on the plain, which turned out to be only scarecrow orcs, the real threat came from the snow goblins of the mountains as a whole army marched on Jiyyd, burning homes, slaughtering the citizens as the brave defenders were off on the plains getting ready to fight the fake orc menace.
The citizens will rebuild as always, yet now they seem worried.. there is no mindless army of orcs at their gates, there is a cunning and massive army of white goblins, even reinforced by small units of frost and hill giants to worry about.
The day was won by Jiyyd and its defenders, but not without a cost.. a new threat now faces Jiyyd and it people.. the drums of war can be heard in the mountains._

_As the morning sun rose, a gruesome sight was seen outside the Sisterhood. Several bodies of Banite Blackguards lay, them having been 'touched' by the Dark Enchantress. Rumor says Jerr made some kind of deal with undead woman for keeping these banites from ruining the day.
Inside the house, endless laughter and joy was heard as the wedding of Nicahh and Aelhaearn proceeded with only one objection by a one eyed man not seen in this land for a very long time, Milshot. After it was all said and done, people were seen staggering out of the Sisterhood, their bellies full of drink and food, and music on their lips._
-
Nicahh, finally home from a trip, is seen asking around Jiyyd about the babies left at the Sisterhood doorstep. She is seen offering rewards to any that can offer information about where the babies are from and how they came to be at the Sisterhood.

*General Grag and the legion is seen bringing in many livestock to help aid the town in its most recent loss. It was rumored sthe livestock was all eaten by grag by some others say it was definatly the snow goblins to the east…
-
The town is abuzz with the news that six babies were left at the sisterhood doorstep. The best trackers claim that there were no people walking to or from the door in the night that the babies were dropped off.
5 boys and one girl, all looking similar, human, happy and healthy, about 8 months old

There were some curious happening is the swamp as a group returned from the troll lands. News about ooze, acid, dwarves with prodding arrows and many hopeful faces wanting to get out a powderkeg for fireworks. Many explosions could be heard from within the swamp. Cries of victory lamented in song as the apparent threat was vanquished.

For a while it seemed to be quite a pleasant evening, before the posters appear. The young brunette Asha, known as Ragnhild's adopted daughter to some, excitedly telling the story of how she fought trolls. Trolls! She usually goes into an explanation of how gruesome those gigantic creatures look, covered in warts, stinking of rot and decay… like a swamp she says. And they're covered in mud and moss! It's apparent quickly enough that she didn't defeat the described pack of trolls herself, and she's readily admitting that she hid while Theaon, Sil and Kull turned the trolls into writhing heaps of flesh and then they didn't even shiver. She goes on to say she stayed with Thorn in the back but also proudly exclaims:
"I shot arrows at them! And… and like more than one hit true! And I think it hurt them! One even fell over and lay on the ground, my arrow hit so hard it shook from the force! Even after it had fallen over!
"And when we were like leaving, I was so curious about the large monster that I had lingered and Theaon told me to run because there was that troll coming and it had like not seen me. But Theaon screamed I should run. So I like did. And it cast that weird spell like it wanted to make me think Kull was a giant. But I knew Kull wasn't, you know? And so I just ran on and then Theaon and Kull beat up that troll too!"
Asha also goes into quite some detail on how Kull heaved his axe up and then hacked away at the trolls, severing them so thoroughly even the famed regenerating powers of trolls seemed helpless in the path of Kull's evoked fury! It was however not until short after their return to Jiyyd proper that Rando turned up and the mood turned hostile between those present at the time.
