Whispers at the Fire
-
Anyone who visits Spellweaver will notice that all the books are in the wrong places. Also several townsfolk may find Orc ears under their pillows and around their houses.
What kind of crazed pranksters would do such a thing?
-
Word spreads quickly around Norwick of the death of the mad mage, Izakiel. Apparently he committed suicide after being convinced by a bystander that it was the only way he would be truly free.
-
Rumours spread about a duel between Hammerhand and a Temposan hobgoblin, and not long after that of an attack on Norwick by said hobgoblin and its minions, though they were quickly defeated.
-
Stories about swarms of undead harpies darkening the sky, near death experiences fighting ghost wolves, and a giant skeletal dragon attacking the south gate dominate town talk for a few days.
-
During a recent goblin attack, everyone's favorite banite tromped off into the forest, only to return some time later covered in bits of dead goblin and what appeared to be a slightly greenish glowi-ness to him. He seemed rather mirthful, humming as he sauntered. What transpired out there is anybody's guess.
-
"Remember the Dwarf who fell for you Norwick." Yngdír says bitterly as he takes his rare R&R by the main fires in the town proper. "He stood to his word. He endured with us, he resisted - for as long as he could. "
-
Rumors of Dondiah being back in town reach the ears of those who care to listen, old and new residents alike. Maybe she'll dance for the masses? She seems to be in a jovial mood, frequently seen shining and sharpening that dark blade of hers with strange runes, not from any language anyone can tell.
-
When news of this Cara Desh-led dissent reaches the Chancellor, (which is how he understands it, of course) he asks the guards to arrest her immediately and bring her to him personally for questioning.
-
Cara Desh has recently been talking about the Norwick workers going on strike, and throwing all of Dwins personal property outside, and scattered them about the town. This was an attempt to discern the reason for all the junk laying around. Let it be known that there's no proof to this, and she's just speaking for the sake of noise, most who know her can understand.
-
Daveth is overheard talking around Norwick about how he has "mystical druid powers" that allow him to summon bears and "lightning that strikes my enemies!". He also says he might have an army of rats that attack undead.
-
Heading in from the north, Aelthas was seen meeting up with the elf Eresse at the south gates, both of them with their packs filled as if going on a trip. After a short conversation, the two disappear in a flash of light.
-
Recently, there have been tales of a freak early winter storm near the south gate….and just as curiously as it appeared, it also vanished.
The common folk have been seen preparing for a harsh winter though, buying extra supplies and making sure that they had warmer clothing.
-
With all of the recent attacks, there have been a lot of odd things going on. One attack resulted in the acquisition of four siege catapults for Norwick, which were strategically placed by the Banite Quelcoth, who was also seen sparring and defeating Devlin. Those present might even say that the Banite fought honorably, but one thing is for sure, the two fighters headed to the tavern afterwards in rather mirthful spirits.
-
After the archery target by the south gate was removed, Elidor can be seen taking a big wood log and shaping an archery target himself with his woodworking skills, he spends a lot of hours with it, working quiet and absently, and when it's finally done, he places it on the spot the other one was
//if we could have the archery target again where it was.. please ^^
-
The southern gate was attacked one night by… Thorn and Senator Ronan! But wait, both Thorn and Senator Ronan were among those defending the town from themselves? Wow, talk about confusing...
-
Over the past few evening in town, many of the commoners are seen acting very skittish, talking of walking shadows come to claim souls and the like. The fact that the healers seem to very popular at night now seems to support this theory, as the priests have their hands full healing what seems to be some sort of weakening sickness.
-
_The Elven lass Rynn, known to few; has been more scarce then usual.
Though rumour has it she has been spotted here and there huddled in corners, clutching her now ragged clothing about herself._
-
Jerrick is recently seen about Norwick once more after a couple days worth of rest and meditation.
-
A new pressence has been noted in Norwick. Around the campfire the rumours slowly arise about a young-looking girl with an inspiring presence. One of Norwick's farmers speaks loudly by the fire after drinking probably one too many ales.
- Ay, ah saw'er too! Hairs lon' as un 'orse tail an' shiny as glittahgold, 'oney eyes and oh so purty. She wus speekin' an' askin' 'ere'an'ere, talkin' stuffs 'bout… stuffs. Dem say she be sum old 'ero... hah, ah tell ya dat ain't no 'ero no lookin' so purty, lad.
She been askin' fer sum... ehm... Jerrick drood ay? Damn ya Jerrick drood ah wanna be like ya an' 'ave dem purty ladies lookin' fer me har har!
-
Talks of the weird happenings at the gates quickly spread throughout Norwick. There is talk of Bugbears, Hobgoblins, and an odd mage causing commotions there.
There are also many requests for stronger gates by the local populace, perhaps in fear of what is to come.
