Whispers at the Fire
-
Rumour has it a stout dwarf has been sleeping in the Norwick inn for a full 3 days straight. Any attempt to get up or be cohorced out of bed results in a groan and her turning over to her other side to rest…...
-
A few rumors stir of a hush hush evening in Norwick. Whatever happened varies from one of the milita guard locking several of the other guards in jail over an young miss, to the whole Norwick Apothicary chasing after a man uttering professions of love.
-
_Rumours begin to spread throughout the town like wildfire that the demon fortress has been utterly destroyed, it's forces vanquished and it's lord slain at the hands of Yuan'ti and the adventurers that had gathered to storm the walls.
Soon after a large explosion that rocked the face of Narfell was heard and felt, eight battered and bloodied souls appears in Norwick and promptly collapsed on the main road, taken past the point of utter exhaustion..
Soon after the group appeared, bodies also started to be ferried into the Norwick Apothecary. The demons had been stopped and a victory had been claimed, but at a high price.
Some state the death toll peaked at eleven. Others speculate higher.
Whatever the rumours, one thing is true ; the demons are now no longer present in the forest._

As Elyl settles back into his militia duties, he spends more time patroling the eastern valley of Norwick. During his patrols he tries to spend time at each farm and mining camp to listen to their concerns, complaints and thoughts about Norwick. He offers healing blessings when possible and tries to get a druid to come along with him once in a while to assist with any animals that may need attention as well.

Rumors spread quickly that a red wizard of thay has surfaced within town and was in a heated argument with several officials near the crafting guild. Altho the discussion did not turn to blows, still townfolk eagerly walk away gossiping that thay has taken to much of a interest in the nearby town of peltarch. Rumors were later confirmed as the red wizard known as Thazar, proclaimed he will be joining the city's populace soon with buisness ventures in mind.

_On the subject of succubi, it is speculated that such a creature was behind the recent time's sudden and otherwise inexplicable outbursts of love in Norwick. These events left several of those involved looking terribly uncomfortable and avoiding each others eyes upon exiting the apocathery's, once cured of their affliction.
Perhaps still rattled by her experience with the previous succubus, gypsy warrior Lycka was seen to carefully avoid the apocathery's, yet an encounter of a different nature seems to have left the young woman troubled. It is said that a horned woman approached Lycka in town, before being swiftly chased off by a posse of Norwick militia and assorted adventurers. Lycka herself left town shortly thereafter._
-
_Old greyish pale gnome, also known as Aleum Kumma, has been lately heard telling a tale about wounded succubus that was spotted nearby old gates of the Norwick. It apparently managed to fool and evade the group which was ready to tear it into pieces (or at least part of it was), only to be tracked down by Aleum, Lycka Zomasdottir and Celebring. It however once again managed to fool the brave heroes, trapping minds of Celebring and Lycka. For some peculiar reason it let Aleum go, which lead into it's death as Aleum went to get reinforcements to get the Overseer Celebring rescued.
Aleum also keeps stating how fascinating skills and wits such a hideous monster can have, and that after the meeting he heavily studied the information available of the succubus, its skills and mayhaps even its weaknesses.
"Splendidlydii it was to survive such an event. Not an everyday occurance for fragile old scholar." He keeps stating and chuckles softly afterwards_

An envoy from Peltarch arrives at the Temple of Kelemvor at midday. The group is comprised not only of Defender Clergy but of another group wearing blue… those familiar may know them as the Knights of the Cerulean Star. The enter the Temple without any fanfare and remain within for quite some time.

_Possibly drawn by the prospect of trading rare scrolls and magical trinkets from the entourage of wizards from Tethyr, Black Sails Lt Sabre Seesaw made one of her rare visits to Norwick. Appearing at first nervous and skittish, the small black-haired woman stuck to the background during the arrival of the wizards, nursing a bottle of rum and chatting quietly with Gears. Somewhat peeved by the lack of trade on this occasion, Sabre then hopscotched from stone to stone to get to the inn, muttering something about cursed ground and needing a stiff drink.
She stalked out of the inn later in a foul mood only lifted by the arrival of her companion Tsu Ma, or "Horsie" as he was dubbed this day. After a few antics, the slightly inebriated sailor rode off into the sunset on her trusty steed's back, probably to the relief of the good people by the Norwick fire._
-
A fine entourage of Magic users is rumoured to have arrived in Norwick. Apparently they have come seeking magical items long lost. it is allso rumoured that they are for the time beeing staying at the inn, while they wait for the Spellweaver Keep to get ready accomodations for them.

Elyl Wefeneran appeared at the altar in the apothecary,Celestria, Andrew and Ronan were inside when he showed. He seemed slightly confused and suffered from sketchy memories of what had occurred to him, but was otherwise fine. They chatted for a time and then Elyl went off to speak with Kia first and then Mord. Seeking everyone else after to say " hello".
((Sorry all, :oops: I am weak willed and enjoyed rp'ing with everyone too much to stay away!

Wren, with visible irritation, has the man removed from his perch in front of the Great Hall.
"If you're going to loaf about and loiter, do it at the fire with the rest of the layabouts."
-
_A a shortish, rather pudgy man has been around Norwick lately. He wears the same black woolen robe each day, and a small brooch with the symbol of Bane. He typically stands at or near the gates in front of the Great Hall during the day and mostly keeps to himself, occasionally being visited by people and taking notes on one of the many parchment sheets he carries.
He is coy and evasive if his purpose is asked, although he will submit it if it is sternly demanded by a person of authority._

_The past few days have been busy, with rumors of long dead bodies being catapulted over the walls of town, umberhulk and goblin attacks and a VERY fat squirrel that was apparently spirited away by Lycka and Aelthas as their new pet.
Some may also notice that a new graveyard, on the hill north of the Kelemvorite shrine has been started. The first four graves there are the bodies of the poor souls used as catapult ammunition._
-
Rumours are rampant of a battle between a Talosan priestess and a mage or multiple mages in Norwick; apparently one woman was killed and a man turned to stone. When the man was returned to his normal self, the militia took him to jail; very strange indeed.

Coming into town from the south, Will stops to speak to one of the Norwick Guards
Ran a patrol south. Graveyard looks normal, but I didn't find any goblins in the Northeast or North Rawlins. None.
Also, the gates to the old elf camp seem to be magically locked. Didn't try to force them, and didn't see any tracks - but that's not normal.
Might want to let Mord and the Chancellor know. Something funny's going on.

Dietrick was seen one evening spending a few hours within the spellweaver keep's first floor with a book on his lap. Miea is seen by his side pointing out alphabets within to him throughout for the first hour, after which he is seen practicing and learning the alphabets on the book himself for the next two hours.
-
Dietrick was seen carrying two tied up guards into the apothecary one after another, followed in by a few norwick guards and Advisor Aramuil. One might notice the guards looked odd and smell horrible, and one of them is missing an ear. Dietrick is seen emerging out later carrying two linen cloth covered bodies, they were laid in the open fields by the union craft hall and burned. The guard Locrian is seen announcing the two's brave sacrifice and many stood watching as their bodies were burned in an honorable funeral rite. Faint distant cries were thought to be heard as fire caught on the bodies…

A swirling gust of wind blows up and seems to cyclone a moment startling everyone there before a voice speaks out from the wind..
Greetings and salutations. Feel free to join the festivites celebrating the marriage of Parsley Tealeaf and Peppy Twiddlefingers this week ((Monday 10pm Eastern)) at the Sisterhood in Jiyyd.
almost immediately the wind dies down and quiets out, leaving people with a surprised and confused look to their face.

_Silverbolt can be heard vividly talking the events of a past night. Apparantly undead had been rising from the crypts, and he headed down with Felix, Sara, Locrian and others. Once there, they fought trough a score of undead skeletons, zombies and ghosts, yet found nothing conclusive of the cause of the undead. The shade was mentioned however, and there was a strange magical blast near the end of one room, yet this lead to nothing either. While most of the group returned to the surface, a few travelled further down, where they fought trough more undead. A particularly persistent undead cow was mentioned, though after having to defeat it in one form or another for three times, it finally stayed dead. The group then returned to the surface, except for two. One was a halfling that was killed by the undead, and the other was Silverbolt himself, who was apparantly.. forgotten.
He tells the following events with particular zhest.
"And so, I was alone.. without a torch in these dark crypts. I could barely walk, as my leg had been injured. I felt my way along the walls, though every turn seemed to lead to a dead end, and I knew it would not be long before more undead appeared. In the darkness, I would not have lasted long. I was about to give up hope, when I heard a strange ethereal singing. At first it frightened me. After all, who would have expected singing? I closed my eyes and quietly sang my own song, a prayer for Milil to grant me courage, yet I noticed the strange song matched my own. It beckoned me further in, and ultimately lead me to the door of the crypts. There can be no mistake.. it was Milil who guided me out of that dark place. I do not know what this means, or why He would have done so… but I am eternally grateful He did, for the prospect of dying in such a place, alone and forgotten, did not sound appealing at all."The fact that he was forgotten does not seem to worry him at all, completely eclipsed by the powerful spiritual experience._
