Rumors heard throughout Oscura.

Some Iron Chain Clan half-orcs can be seen patroling the streets of Oscura lead by their leader, Arak´hur

Runners go out to the various towns and hotspots informing people of a secret job and a strange employer seeking applicants. The runners explain that the details of the job are unknown, but a man at the Mithril Mug tavern is seeking applicants. Anyone is welcome to apply, but there are a limited number of available openings… Skilled adventurer's of any type are welcome to seek out Marshal in the back of the Mithril Mug.
[See job in Oscura forums]

seems freed slaves and any unemployed persons in Oscura are actively be sought for positions in the Guard.

Again the large mercanary is seen escorting a man from the Oscura Temple into the arena at the Bodak. With barely a word the two enter the arena and face off against each other. The mercanary gets in a couple of solid hits, but is in the end beaten by the masked figure. Rumor spreads of the Merc's 2nd loss to the strange men from the temple, and their rather friendly dealings both before and after. Noone is sure of their reason for fighting, or what the merc new to Oscura is trying to accomplish many say he's going to get himself killed.

_Rumor speaks of new coins hitting the market…platinum pieces bearing the face of Arar on one side and a falcon on the other, gold pieces with the words 'Law, Order, Prosperity' circling a representation of Oscura on one side and a picture of a circle of Tribunal chairs on the other, electrum pieces with 'Duty' 'Order' 'Loyalty' circling a crossed hammer and sword on one side and the picture of a group of Oscuran troops on the other, silver pieces with the markings of all the Gods, and copper pieces simply stamped with a large 'O' on one side and a picture of Oscura on the other.
Quite often the phrase 'Oscuran Ounce' is heard._

It seems Justicar has been spending a good time of late with a large book near the Well. Observers seem to note he walks about the well and flips thru pages seemingly finding references in the book. Often he will kneel down and brush some sand off the ground nearby with a feathered brush.
Rarely he will produce a quill and ink and write something down.
What is in the book no one seems to know but Justicar seems to be putting a great deal of importance in it.

A rather strange looking new mercanary has been hired on by the town. He is large and well built and has been seen guarding the pass through the chasm to the surface, as well as the west gate. He was seen entering the south gate and travelled with 2 other men into the great temple. Later a man in black and green armor, and the Merc were seen entering the Bodak. Both men proceeded into the arena and had it out twice. Whatever they were fighting about, or for, they both came across as gentlemen and kindly left again in private discussion.

Word has it that Rando and Lord Gallows were seen talking in the Coppers. Word has it a game of dice was involved and a handshake at the end

_Seems a number of buildings have finally been constructed including several that house large kilns. These specific buildings seems to be having sand of clay delivered to them.
Other buildings have guards posted at them and in them constantly as people work inside. Additional rumors suggest smiths are assisting people inside working with metals and gems.
Around the same time rough pottery and glasswares are becoming available in the market. Nothing spectacular or consistent yet but definitely something to note and the sellers take note of suggestions given by the customers.
Seems Oscura is expanding it's market.
In addition, carts full of bat dung of all things is being brought into town and handed over to some Redfalcons skilled in alchemy.
Additional buildings seem to be being working on with the completion of these. Seemingly several large walled garrison looking things.
Interestingly, seems every part of Rothe are being used now, whereas before only the meat and sometimes furs were used, the Butcher is now dividing various components of each carcass and having them sent to various parts of town._

Tribune Ashire and a priestess of Umberlee were seen walking towards the boat dock evidentally having harsh words with each other. Seems it broke out into a full out fight at the boat pier the priestess being sent to the ground suddenly by a single blow from the admiral fist. Next ensued a long fight with the tribune held by some force while the priestess lit up the docks as lights swirled and congregated around her. She drew a blade but despite the mysticism, blade, armor, and shield was beaten to unconsciousness by the Tribune's bare hands, who evidentally attacked with great ferocity and after falling to the first spell seemed immune to any further magic directed against him, slugging her out as bright lights in many colors exploded out over the pier. Seemingly no citizens were harmed during the scuffle. Afterwards, the bloody tribune in a tattered uniform could be seen dragging the now bound unconscious woman into the Sails warehouse only stopping to talk to a guard briefly in what certainly didn't seem to be a friendly conversation.
Rumors are abound as what could have caused the scuffle between the two, and whether or not the Tribune is really human or not.
-
The Captain of the PeaceKeepers can be seen on scene with her troupe of men, questioning witnesses and gathering information. The bodies are removed from the scene for further inspection, and the PeaceKeepers can be seen patrolling the docks and the west gate more diligently than ever.
-
Three Mulhorandi slavers were found murdered in the docks. While the investigation is quite tight-lipped, rumors begin circulating that they were killed in the same manner as slaves and slavers alike found dead in the Docks and West Gate districts before: skilled short-sword stab wounds to the kidneys and heart.
-
Seems a convoy escorted by Peace Keepers and Gaurds have arrived in town. No one is sure exactly what was in the convoy but the next day the smell of fresh bread seems to fill the streets and various bread products are being handed out to the populace.
-
A man with a eerie blue visage can be seen watching the cargo be loaded. He doesn't move from his spot until the female captain can be seen giving a wave and the boat moves off the dock.
-
Several carts worth of covered goods were recently seen heading to the docks and being loaded onto a ship. Some say the ship is owned by the notorious pirate Sabre…........
-
After a big kaboom! near Oscura, it seems that the tunnel leading to the Kuo Tua from the east side of the city has been caved in.
-
_With such an increase of elven slaves, the prices of elven slaves have dropped quite significantly.
In better news, it appears small amounts of farmers and refugees have been frequenting Telli's shrine to Chauntea._

A Pale Man watches them, amused, as he sharpens his unnatural blade.
-
_A grizzly sight is seen, as Oscuran guards drag the mangled, half eaten corpses of four hapless Damaran adventurers through the city, taking them below into the Undercity.
Rumours quickly circulate that it is the work of the crazed monsters stalking the nearby caverns._
-
Rumours spread of crazed monsters being spotted throughout the caverns near Oscura. No official word is said on anything, but most Oscura citizens stay inside the city more than ever.
