Tavern Rumors of Peltarch



  • The moonies were bothering people in the commons. Again.

    This time they were saying that Selune watches over the city and loves the people.

    And it gets better… that some servant of hers called a 'Sliver' or 'Shard' or whatever came down from the heavens and stopped some forces in the Underdark from bringing war to Peltarch.

    They did such a brilliant job the commons itself was attacked by the Underdark just a few days later. Where was Selune then?

    They continue to clutter up the damned commons with offerings of milk and wine to the moon too.



  • The commons once again descended into chaos as another batch of monsters from far and wide were portalled directly in amongst the gathered crowd. Fish men, lizards, spiders, hook horrors and other terrible Underdark creatures attacked, all disposed of eventually, though not without loss of life for one brave soul. The bruised and battered adventurers barely had time to breathe out when magic again crackled in the air, confusion setting in to turn friends to enemies. A small, darkhaired sailor could be overheard shrieking shrilly about spiders, shooting her bow at anything that moved before calmed by her fellow Sails.



  • {adding to the rumors words spread that a ship named the Elvesbane wich would be a slave tradeship compose of a human crew only would be responsable for the attack of the smoking ship}



  • rumor spreads of a small fire in the docks district almost sinking a ship. Pirates are suspect to be the cause.



  • A small argument occurred between a man and an elf, both most recently known for their participation in the battle against the spiders, in the commons when the elf emerged from the inn fully armored with his bow in hand. It seems the man disagreed the disturbance the elf was causing by being armed while the elf expressed feeling hardly safe within the protection of Peltarch's walls and defenders.

    Upon threat of legal action, the elf departed the city without incident. The question might be raised that when a professional soldier or adventurer feels unsafe without their weapons at their immediate disposal in broad daylight, just how safe is it?



  • Word spreads of an ill fated expedition into the orc caves that ended with arguments, threats of violence, and rumours of lycanthropes and vampires.

    Everyone who was involved tells a slightly different story, but all agree on one thing. Something strange is happening in, and around Peltarch.



  • Some talks about that new young warrior that hangs arround the comons with that litle hin lass.Both seem descant enough yet they ofthen come back covered with orc blood and bleeding.Unsure of what to say about those yet most of the people would rather keep quiet.

    A man usually spotted at the bar gambling with other drunks ventured into the Commons for a bit smelling of booze and dressed in what used to be fine clothes. His beard was untrimmed, his eyes were glazed and his hair unkempt. The only distinguishing thing about him is the way he twists his ring…absently.



  • "The chicken did it!" Is an explanation being bandied around for a recent attack by spiders and underdark critters in the commons. No-one is quite sure where the rats come from.



  • There is some minor chatter about the crazy moonies sitting in the commons and calling down the moon by giving offerings up to their goddess. Those who witnessed the miricle basked in moonlight and said that the area was clensed and safe for the time being. But for how long?



  • A large man in black and red, with white trim is seen entering the city with a determined look on his face, he is overheard asking several guards and adventurers if they know where the local Magistrate can be found. After delivering a letter to the Town Hall he is overheard speaking with some adventurers about mercenary work.

  • Word is passed around the taverns and bars of Peltarch to be wary of anything on the pass that seems out of the ordinary, whether it be a supposed cart accident, bandit attack, or someone in trouble. There are thieves and cut-throats preying on the kind folk to fill their pockets.



  • A large group in armor set off from the commons to cull back rats, beetles, and undead which have become troublesome of late.

    They returned two days later with tales of sighting a gnomish vampire and undead awaiting 'The Lord' in a disturbed family crypt.

    What is it? A powerful necromancer? A vampiric Bloodlord? No one knows.

    The trek left more questions then it answered. Was the group there simply to push back against the unquiet dead as they claim? Or are other reports about looting the tomb true?



  • A performance was held at the Ashald park a few nights ago, which according to the rumors made the young Gaerielle Silmarry accepted as a Master in the Bardic College.
    The audiance, including adventurers and local celebrities as much as commoners and nobles, speak of a cheerful song and dance opening the performance at twilight, followed by a game of light and shadows underlining a very emotional song under the trees.

    Gaerielle has not been seen much out of the Theatre during the few following days, which for many suggests more work in progress and other performances to expect.

    (( sorry for the late posting ))



  • A short and violent attack by spider looking beasts and skeletal dogs was fended off in the commons by the Artist and Author Elidur and a couple of others of less note. The young woman in black and gold was afterwards noted to have been muttering about one of the f**kers getting away though and for people to keep their eyes open.



  • With all the sudden tension around the city, it seems Ignismons Vets have been deployed to the southern walls to support Captain Del'Rosa. Captain Benthur is seen quietly conversing with the other officers as they stare south, increased patrols of heavily armored horsemen are sent out that go no further than the edge of Peltarch territory.. it seems the Defenders are moving to make sure that nothing spills over into or even near the city.. the men and women of the Defenders looking cautiously to the south and sharpening their weapons.. waiting for any word.



  • _Rumours from City Hall speculate that the Senate is in heated debate about the state of affairs in the Nars Pass. The word is that most of the Senators are extremely worried about the prospects of the Pass becoming hostile, and are advocating any means necessary to avoid any worsening of relations with the Camp folk in order to preserve the safety and prosperity of the City. Seemingly alone in his stance, the old soldier Kaster Lavindo is said to be staunchly opposed to any moves appeasing what he calls a resurgent band of despicable Eastlander bandits, and gossip-mongers go so far as to say he claimed he would offer his complete moral support to any band brave enough to bloody the nose of his old foes.

    Popular opinion on the issue is sharply divided, with the vast majority of the Guilds, merchants and wealthier citizens and the nobility favouring the Senate, while the average common dockworkers and the poor, as well as the Peltarch Defenders, favour Lavindo. One thing is certain, news from the Nars Pass is keenly awaited by all ears…_



  • Rumors of a large militant group preparing for battle and setting up just north of the bridge in the Nars slowly filters into the various taverns of the city, people are unsure of the target of this large force, though several people are overheard saying the bandits will finally get what they deserve.



  • Cerulean Knight Lycka spreads the word to all daring-do travellers to use extra caution while entering the ogre caves near the Ice Lace beach. Apparantly a powerful necromancer priest and his numerous undead ogre cohorts were encountered there, leading to several casualties on the behalf of Lycka's party while the necromancer himself, a human-looking male, is still at large to cause further harm.
