Whispers at the Fire
-
_Benji struts around Norwick with an exquisite sparkling glowing purple cloak draped over his shoulders.
He seems much easier to see when he wears it._
-
Dolinar arrives at the Grapevine Inn and soon got word about a elven woman which goes by the name Yana looking for him. The barmaid who told Dolinar about it had no clue what Yana might want from him. Dolinar told the barmaid that he is a citizen of Peltarch and can often been seen at the campfire near Pelt's westgate or in Norwick when he is about to visit the dwarven hold.
-
A young elven lass going by the name of "Yana" has been asking around Norwick for a fellow named "Dolinar"
-
_He is directed to venture behind the Grapevine Inn, where Maya is seen teaching two students, a young boy and a woman, in various martial skills. The boy is assaulting a wooden post with youthful glee, and the woman is making unpracticed attacks with a large, straight blade.
Maya looks up when the man approaches._
(PM me!)
-
Over the next day, a warrior wearing the dark green heraldry of Peltarch arrives in town, finally doffing his helm to carry underarm. He is seen asking after Maya with a rather determined look in his eyes and outright refuses to discuss his business with anyone else, saying only the town champion will suffice.
-
Regarding the slain necromancer, a young woman in black and gold seems to have mentioned it once or twice nearby, and it was by all appearances her rapier that pierced the throat of the very surprised necromancer, mid-chant.
She seemed pleased at being the one to finish him off, but aggravated at being unable to save the fellow who was being sacrificed.
-
((I believe it's not his char KULL the one in the group, but his char Arak`Hur..as his signature points out ^^ ))
As of late, an unexpert magician has been seen riding a lot around the rawlins woods, seems to be practicing her riding
-
*Mayty has been looking for Kull - or any member of the clan for that matter.(
((She is trying to sell an "Orcish Mask" helm. it's a figher only helm that can cast daze once per day. If you or any of yur boys are interested in it try to catch me IG. I'm in the Australian time zone, so hooking up may be hard… hence the pm.))
-
groups os Iron chain Clan half-orcs can be seen day after day, night after night, patroling the woods around the pond. Each time a group shifts the replaced group of halfers can be seen entering norwick with their armors, shields and wepons covered in blood and gore. They seem not to be disturbed by that, in fact they consider it a sign of their battle skills
-
Rumors spread about a necromancer that was living in the Norwick's graveyard's crypts before he met death in the hands of some aventurers
-
_The strawberry-coated hawkeye and Peltarchian gastrognome Perriwig P. Doubleday apparently used his recent "big-game hunting trip" to the Rawlinswood to foil what he describes as a "nefarious goblinoid plot to embezzle and otherwise illicitly acquire head gear, hats and other noddle-warming garments…"
According to the enthusing gnome, a whole goblinoid crime syndicate was implicated, but he and his "faithful squire", the halfling Raul, put an end to the whole murky scheme. To those admirers clamouring for more information - or more probably, to those bored bystanders he addresses his comments to - Perriwig has promised to send a blow by blow account to the Narfell Post for the wider public's interest and edification..._
-
A new hin is to be seen in Norwick, he spends much time at the fire warming his little hands and looking curiosly at adventurers
-
*Iron Chain Clan half-orcs, lead by their leader Arak´Hur, were about to go on one of theirs daily patrol when Norwicks Militia Commander Devlin Desario and new recruit named Brakrum, intercepted them by the lake having a little chat with a dodgy ladd that goes about by the name Vick. They all went to rawlinswood far-east and patroled the interior of a goblin and vermin infested cave. They fought hords of goblins and their sort, but made it back together safe and sound, with their bags packed with what they took from the goblins that fell at their feet, and some ore also. Norwicks commander Devlin Desario was abble to see by himself that the coins paid to these group of half-orcs is well spent *

_The Chancellor makes regular visits to the wall construction in the pass, often asking questions of the workers or even lending a hand when needed.
Now that the light has returned and the fear has left the region, the progress has picked up as has the motivation of the workers to complete it._
-
A group of mercenaries left Norwick early one morning, grim determination on their faces. However, after two days in the woods, they returned with a bugbear head and a few necklaces the claim to be heirlooms. They spread the word that the Silverbane Sellswords are up for hire. And they always get their mark.
-
Groups of Iron Chain Clan halfers can be seen entering Norwick to replace others that are returning from a night of patrol in the woods.
The group beeing replaced can be seen entering norwick from the south gate, showing evidence of beeing involved in skirmishes with whatever lurks behind the trees and bushes at the cover of the dark night
-
_After being sustained for almost the duration of the war, the teleportation circle atop the eastern hill in Norwick has finally lost the magical glimmer that surrounded the circle. As the night passes on, a long wispy sigh ripples across the breezing wind, as if someone had lost a great weight from their shoulders.
On the following morning, the teleportation circle on the hill is no more. The runes have faded and the chalked circle has broken and blown away. The gentle presence that was felt when approaching near to the circle has now gone, to where, noone knows._
-
Lets just drop it all… they lost their homes, and we are lucky enough to have room for some of their folks. Cant blame them fer bein a bit bitter.
I cant say I'd be all that polite if I was in their boots either.
Dwin nods at his own folks
We got enough work to do rebuildin, replantin, and finishin' off that fool Ostromog. Lets keep focused and not get distracted.
-
As the estranged elf leaves town, the Colonel the Militia can only utter a few solemn words…
"Funny how Norwick officials were hiding when we were standing at the front-lines when Jiyyd was being attacked by N'Jast. Guess they forgot about that part..."
The Colonel goes on about his business, spouting around orders to the guards, and what not.
-
@3bfc07584d=Darkspyr:
A story circulates, not sure from where, maybe a guard in his cups. Something vague about the Jiyyd residents could now return to their homes now that the N"Jast army had been destroyed….. Oh wait, the Legion burnt it too the ground...well things can be rebuilt...but oh wait the general of the Legion unleashed a horde of demons on the town.....ah well, such is life.
Lyte, who has publically remained silent on the matter of who burned down Jiyyd, is reputed to speak up when the dirty lies are spread.
_"It was Norwick's Advisor Aramuil who burned Jiyyd and The Silver Valley, directly against my orders not to do so, while the fate of the town was still in doubt, and I and others fought still at it's eastern gate holding the town against war machines.
Anyone who doubts this truth should ask Aramuil himself, and should hold their craven tongues about things that occured while they cowered under mattresses in Norwick's dank basements."_
With that, a disgusted look on her face, the elven woman is rumored to have left, to the north out of Norwick.
