Rumors of the Valley



  • A strange sight was witnessed the other day in the Valley, a pair of tallies and a hin were playing at the water's edge, throwing one another in and seemingly having a lot of fun.

    They stayed for several hours, and enjoyed the finest of the foods the bakers had to offer, before departing at nightfall.

    A pair of hin are seen wandering the valley. The two seem to be brother and sister and look to be around the same age. It is rumored that they belonged to an entertainers troupe that recently disband. The pair are said to have applied for citizenship within the Valley.

    Dietrick who resides in the valley points them in the direction of Councilor Ginger Tealeaf.

    Dietrick spreads word in the valley of Perin Highfold's noble spirit, that the halfling merchant who currently operates in the Peltarch markets paid for the skulls of innocents including a hin so Dietrick may give the skull owners proper burial. Dietrick recommends sales be made to this fellow 'comrade' should any venture up to the city.



  • Theaon Thorn is seen entering the Silver Valley with the body of a fallen hin over his shoulder. Word spreads that the hin is a priest of Yondalla who was found slain under Mintas Rhelgor. Theaon announces that a service will be held for the fallen hin in the near future.



  • Marie Scuttlestone, known to her friends as Scuttle, brings word of a possible threat to valley folk.

    Miss Marty told me that she encountered, and killed, an oversize kobold who was dragging two dead gnomes behind it. This was up near Peltarch, and the bodies haven't been recovered yet.

    Maybe we should send someone up to do that? If any of the gnomes here are missing kin, this might be where they are, unfortunately.

    And what about the risk to other folk? Perhaps this needs more investigating…

    The distinct stench of burnt human waste follows a beaten and battered Benji to the bath house.

    _Parsley notices the tourist, so he and his young son Marshmallow try to engage him in conversation.

    "H> Soo..new here?"_



  • Raúl keeps spending lot of time around the valley, and tries to find out how to be a citizen of the valley, he's usually seen helping other hins in their everyday's duties when he finds nothing better to do

    burp
    _What do you mean 'What's all that shite all over you?' It's spider guts!

    <g>Fark me</g>

    You should have seen the size of it too. A cow? No. Bigger. No, bigger yet. I mean the size of the whole inn here. You know what? The size of a tallie inn._
    drunken nodnod and takes another swig
    _That big.

    And I killed it too! Well, no. Not by myself. I had help. The queen was sitting there in her big throne room and we all charge at it. Everyone starts cutting off it's legs and spider plates and all that.

    But THEN!_

    slams his half empty glass of ale down on the table for dramatic emphasis

    The queen got mad and called in all her little baby spiders. AND THEY'RE NOT LITTLE EITHER!!! THOSE… are the cow sized ones.
    nodnod
    _That's right. Thirty or forty of them. All running at us screaming like little girls.

    <g>Shite.</g>

    What do you mean 'Why were they screaming at us like little girls?' Because THAT'S WHAT <g>FARKING</g> COW SIZED <g>FARKING</g> SPIDER MONSTERS SOUND LIKE!_
    shivers and takes a long swig of ale
    What did I do? We couldn't retreat … so ... I ran THROUGH them!
    pauses to let the bar flies bask in his courageous glory

    I ran right though that swarm of spiders kicking them and punching them and I kept loading and shooting at that big fat queen until FINALLY I found a weak spot. It was right on the back of its head… or ... maybe that was its neck... well... it was this squishy looking thing. So I SHOT it.

    walks his hand around on the table like a spider then slams his other fist down on it
    And the queen just stopped and fell over dead. DEAD!

    throws back the rest of his ale

    That's why I'm covered in spider guts.

    waves the barkeep over for another ale

    Recently, Dietrick seems quiet and often looking over the valley in silence. He is also noted to take periodic walks alone into the east-land hills, apparently for breaks from the stress he gets in his course of work.

    Morgana kisses Dietrick on the forehead and just smiles to him when he asks. She leaves a single girly barrette in his palm, before she and and her sons departed, without another real word.

    Blushing a little, Dietrick just looks dumbfoundedly at the barette, hesitating if he's supposed to wear it on his hair….Then decides not to but keeps the barette safely in his pack instead.



  • @a5cb2d513d=Pyrus:

    Dietrick thanks the trio furiously, giving them simply trinkets, supplies and food for their journey and his warm sincere thanks. He also asks on a side note while seeing them off, where he could meet the one they serve…

  • Apparently the Gastrognomic Guide Committee, led by the fashionably attired Peltarch-based chairgnome - Perriwig P. Doubleday - left the Valley Vittles Restaurant, pronouncing themselves very satisfied and slyly implying that the aforesaid establishment can expect a more than favourable review in their publication. Once the effects of the Fenberry Wine and halfling beer have worn off…

    Morgana and her two sons, Spike and Mike and their little bubble-killing dog, Scottie, pack their wagon up and drive out a few days after the last colorful auroral storm associated with the blight fades away.

    Gears, on the other hand, views the woman with distrust and stays away from her tokens, telling those who ask him about the suspicious looks he gives her:

    "I don't trust anythin' that's s'posed t'do with dreams right after all this Fey nonsense. I sleep just fine, thanks."

    _Some old hin woman and two brutish seeming hin males who the woman claims are her grown twin sons arrive with the recent festival and stay, setting up a makeshift shop to sell freshly made fenberry pies and various trinkets. They sell especially small tokens the old hin proclaims to protect you from evil spirits and catch bad dreams, so that only good ones get through.

    Any who buy them are instructed to sleep with them under their pillow to work properly._

    _Dietrick welcomes her and family warmly. Helping them where they might need.

    Dietrick also specially buys a few such small tokens from her. To keep one on him and to possibly give a few to his friends.

    "Telli might need this! Mebbe make her bad dreams go away!" A silly smile flows into his face._
