Whispers at the Fire
-
Lately, the streets of Norwick have been strangely absent of Old Ale bottles and empty steins.
Residents have been able to walk through the streets without bumping into a drunken slumbering form.
However, some travelling Merchants tell of wild parties happening in Peltarch; that mysteriously relocate before the Guards can find them…
-
Rumor has it that the Chancellor traveled to Peltarch on "official business" but came back much earlier than expected.
Some have heard that he has locked himself in the Great Hall and has requested a Priest from the Dwarven Hold. Others hear that he acted quite strangely in Peltarch, and paid extra to be taken home quickly.

Harsh words flew hither and dither in Norwick
between a slant female paladin clad in black & red
and the leader of Norwick's finest. The woman was
carried off to jail for reasons unknown. An unarmed
pretty boy trying to stop the raging man abusing her
was badly cut and evicted.Marty has been asking around about this incident, speaking with eyewitnesses.
((sorry I didn't post this earlier. I suck.))

Amidst the news from the Nars Pass that the Bandit Bridge is out of commission, the Chancellor is seen rousing the Red Cloak and Dwarven guards at the gates and speaking to anyone that will listen.
_Whether it be the work of greenskin, orc, or Legion, the Bridge is out. The hive of highway-bandits has been knocked about, and you can be sure the 'Sons of Whores' as they call 'emselves are flyin about with their stingers ready.
Guards of the Realm! we're doubling you up on shifts! Keep a wary eye on the North. Though the Realm had nothing to do with this, the Bandits will likely assume treachery… Keep your eyes and steel ready, and check all bags and wagons for foul-play!
I recommend all travellers take care...and avoid that pass! The Bandits main source of income has been taken from 'em and their likely to be feisty! We'll be putting extra guard shifts on the docks and the boats that travel the Ole' Norwick River as well. In order to pay for this unexpected work, we'll be chargin' a tax of 2 extra coins for all riverboat travellers, and 5 for all merchants comin in, or goin' out. Hopefull this wont last long, mind you, but we've got over-time to pay these fine guards, and your safety is surely worth a few coins!
People of the Realm! Remember... if you see anything odd or irregular, it probably is! Report it to a Red Cloak or a Hold-Guard as soon as possible. We're under no direct threat or danger, but one cannot be too prepared in times such as these!_
((just RP the temporary ferry taxes, no need to make any IG changes))

_As ever whenever the total number of gnomes in one area reaches the critical mass of three, the incessant chattering and sheer, borderline mad enthusiasm leaves many tallies gaping or fleeing the scene. Birds, however, are less intimidated, as fish-enthusiast Jorma learnt when a seagull unexpectedly turned up in the middle of Norwick, attempting to snatch his very large fish straight from his gnomish hands. A peaceful solution seems to have been found though, the gnome happily feeding fresh cave fish to the would-be thief, who took to the skies with a full belly and left Jorma his prized fish.
Soon afterwards, while a bewildered Duncan and the splendidly behatted gnomish couple Caramella Bestefaren and Perriwig P. Doubleday were eagerly and animatedly discussing the important subject of titles and the many exciting possibilities of adding them to one's name, the earth suddenly began to shake. Undead critters burst from the ground, pale and fat like giant mole-rats, attacking anything and anyone nearby until the adventurers present squished them. The possible culprit to this incident, a mad crossbow-weilding gnome, then appeared from behind a building and culminated his vile acts by stealing Caramella's bright green, oversized headgear!
Though the hat was heroically and successfully recovered and the culprit slain after a wild chase out of the gates, something still appears to worry the hat owner, who travelled north with her companions soon thereafter._

Devlin was seen taking a knee before Albry whilst holding a ring to her outside the Union hall. To those who were out of earshot, the answer was obvious when she threw her arms around him. Ever since the pair have had smiles "caked to their palettes"

… The pair disappeared into the Union hall and did not return for several hours. Albry stepped out with a smile and looking her normal self...

Albryanna, Devlin, and Alestra found themselves conversing of gods and faiths while looking over the Norwick gates. Rather unexpectedly, Albry grew increasingly frustrated, and eventually fell into Devlin's arms, nearly bursting into tears. The pair disappeared into the Union hall and did not return for several hours. Albry stepped out with a smile and looking her normal self. What could possibly make the emotionally sturdy guard show such strong emotion?
-
A familiar face has been seen at the Norwick fire, once that's not been around for a long time now…
Jerrick has returned, his giant wolf ever at his side, catching up on recent events and explaining his absence. Something about a Trod?
Weird...
-
The Chancellor orders that both the goblin and the furball carcasses be immediately gathered, so that the flag-waver's clan might be identified–as well as that of the archer.
-
Rumor has it that a goblin scout came to the south gate, waving a white flag, but before he could say what he wanted, he was slain by a single bugbear archer - who was then slain in turn
-
Albryanna and Devlin were seen dragging a severely beaten goblin to the barracks and returned a few hours later letting said goblin free to the south
-
Over the past few hours, numerouse Iron Chain Clan half-Orcs have been gathering in Norwick, they seem to show up from every directions. The reason for such gathering is unknown but to the half-orcs
-
_regulars to Norwick may have noticed a rather substantial increase in the number of empty and half empty bottles littering the ground….....
On more than one occasion a still form has been spotted in the shadows by the side of the road. If approached it has been known to leap up shouting_ "gah! I'm ner dunk!" "Wha….Whe....oh yeah...."
-
It's reported that memphits, quasits, or something similarly small and not-at-all-birdlike were seen flying above Norwick. First there was one, then many. The group flew off to the northeast: a rather ominous direction, most gossipers point out.
-
It seems a somewhat distracted Mord dropped a gnomish firecraker in the fire near the town center. Though the resulting blast and flames startled a number of people, none were severely injured. Mord seemed somewhat disoriented and searched about for where the explosion may have come from.
-
Word around town is that a gigantic goblin, nearly the size of a man, was engaged and defeated just inside the southern gate a few days back. Word is that it was encountered by a hoarran from the camp, and a rather tall hin warrior.
-
Those who wander south in Rawlinswood, have been lately noticing that large number of goblin corpses found on the ground seem to be missing their hands.
-
Unfortunately Yngdír hasn't been seen in Norwick main a lot lately, or anywhere out of the Rawlinswood. Although there are rare occasions that he will leave the forest. Apparently he still stands his vigil at the south gates and offers advice to those 'novice adventurers' he's supposed to be murdering. The quiet Ranger has said nothing about the song or any truths behind it in his defense or otherwise to anyone that it did not concern.
