Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
A group of adventurers embarked on a ship - of note perhaps that the ship made it very clear this was adventurers, as it was a ship others would call a wreck - it even had to be towed out of the harbor by another ship. The group returned later on a much better ship - possibly they learned their lesson not to embark on such broken ships.
-
The Peacekeepers of Oscura can also be seen patrolling more heavily than usual, protecting the docks as well
-
_For a brief period of hours, Oscura descended into chaos as rumours spread like wildfire that a group of Raven's Wing guards were murdered by Jario's Black Lotus. What followed was a series of fights and brawls between the said factions, until a sweep of the city performed by the elite Oscuran guard quickly jailed all Raven's Wing guards and Black Lotus employees, but the uninvolved Lotus of Balthazar's faction were quickly released.
It seems that the coalition of Black Sail and Northern Bear guards are the only ones guarding the docks again, whilst it appears Duke Istvan has enlisted the help of Brankovic's mercenaries to act as his company's guards for now. The Coppers has been taken over by the Skovhus meanwhile.
Both the Black Lotus and the Raven's Wing Guards are being processed by the Red Falcons, and estimates say that it'll all be figured out within a month._
-
Ferdinand Locke is seen preparing for his journey to Mulhorand with Ahmose more and more, when asked about it he seems rather excited and eager to begin the trip.
-
Word spreads that the glistening couple in Oscura's nobility scene is an unlikely one of Loktar Kyzanos and Anna Kursk. Whether this is premeditaded by their fathers, or what it means for Oscura, is still unclear.
-
_Returning adventurers from the deep chasm mentioned about an odd seight the other day. Two dead driders can still be found lying among ten-folds of dead kua toa corpses, piled together.
Their torso appears to have been cut open and most of it's interior ripped out. Purpose of this is unknown but whatever was responsible for their death must've had a personal vendetta considering this brutal act. Further on, remains from multiple traps are spotted throughout the same area. Gas, acid and traps of explosion have been triggered recently leaving small craters in the sand. Nothing but a small war took place here recently_
-
The occasional rumor of drow activity reaching farther out from the real underdark makes its round through some of the taverns - rarely the tales include a small group of humans from more 'civilized' cities that had an altar to the goddess of the drow - sometimes that group even preyed on drow - and sometimes they are said to be looking for a chosen sacrifice to that goddess.
-
A masked stranger is seen walking the dark streets of Oscura. He speaks to no one, but he seems to be looking for something… :ninja:
-
Rumours start to spread from out of the coppers on what the nature of this trip was.. The rumours seem to be fueld by Vladimir Kursk, son of duke andrey. The rumours claim that the Lighning Eagle were paying off a village to stop sending the Northern Bear grain. Kursk is heard loudly and angrily calling them hipocrits. However, due to the recent confrontations with the Lighning Eagle, it is possiable he is jsut trying to spread fulse rumours
-
_A mixed group of Oscuran nobles, mercenaries, and even Black Sails met up on the docks recently. The group seemed to be discussing something about some type of delivery.
After some talking, the group left on a ship for awhile before returning with one of the Oscuran nobles, known as Vladimir, heavily wounded. It seems the group also had one casualty: A Tempus follower known as Hammerhand. Whatever transpired in waters abroad was certainly violent.
Other members in the group, however, looked relatively uninjured and in decent spirits. The two Sails left with one of the nobles toward their warehouse, while the others went off on other business._
-
It seems there was a confrontation between Lightning Eagle and Northern Bear employees by the Well recently, but no violence erupted.
-
Rumors in Oscura speak of another attack from the well. A couple of dead bodies were recovered, badly mangled, and sometimes the sighting of an eye tyrant is mentioned, not one of the smaller eye stalks that sometimes can be seen near the well, but a full grown, very angry, and very dangerous eye tyrant sized one.
-
Oscura is abuzz with rumours that a small, untapped vein of mithril has been found in the caverns surrounding the city. Of course, there's a good chance these are just rumours spread by drunk dwarves at the Mithril Mug, since nobody seems to know anything about it.
-
Ferdinand is seen spending much time in the library, often going through and books pertaining to Mulhorand, especially ones that discuss traditions and dialects.
-
Many visitors have been seen coming and going from the Oscura Jail, most to visit with the surfacer, Gina. Most visitors seem to be various Nobles and friends, however rumors of darker more twisted guests have also surfaced.
-
_A group of creatures from the well spew forth out of the hell mouth near the west gate. Many spider like creatures streamed over the bridge, bringing ghostly haunts to the city.
In the aftermath of the defense of the gate, it seems that a surfacer has been locked up in the Oscuran jail. As a possible reason for this woman being locked up is some outsider involvement, and her past history with the happenings in Anderburg._
-
Rumors of an attack within the Shiny Coppers spread throughout the City. The rumors speak of the Inn being filled with clouds of Darkness and Shadows who attacked both members of Jario's Black Lotus and the patrons who were present. An Oscuran Peacekeeper was noted as being one of the few patrons to fight back the shadows.

-
