Whispers at the Fire
-
A distinguished silver-haired male elf dressed in purple and red under his black cloak, came to town.
He and Eluriel visited first the dwarven hold, then the crafter's union hall.
-
It might have been noted by some that, since a little while after his arrival in Narfell, an Elf named Havon has been spending a lot of time sitting under a particular, but ordinary tree in the druid grove near Norwick. During this time he often takes off his usual armour to reveal another outfit of gold and black. Why he goes there is not apparent, only that he does very regularly.
-
Bellowing can be heard coming from the Crafters Hall. Someone is not very happy. :pissed:
-
Rain can be seen walking around town with Militia recruit Hannibal posting up wanted posters and questioning locals on the whereabouts of a criminal gnome named Ludo
-
Rico Swift, heavily intoxicated at the time, vanished from the fireside and reappeared in a flash of red light in the same spot some short time later, yelling at the not-present wizard Izakiel.
-
_Apparently the undead former Herald Fendon came to Norwick in broad daylight, attempting to kill Chancellor Biswan. He slew Timmot and another guard when they tried to bar his way, but was stopped by the swift action of Davos, Stubs, Rhyndar, Dietrick, and others.
A punitive expedition dispatched to the tombs stumbled back to town some time later, extremely battered but alive._
-
Kabul is seem at the entrance of the Hall, looking for master Z.
-
Word spreads trough Norwick, and likely into the dwarven hold, that Hammerhand has over 30 pounds of unrefined gold to sell, to the highest bidder.
-
Word has it that Diadne of Kossuth is seeking to speak to a priest of good nature regarding some artifact that came into her possession.
-
_*Fadia Nailo, the purple-haired druid elder, has recently been seen to make very frequent visits to Norwick's farmlands. The sole purpose of these visits seems to be the offering blessings to the crops of any farmers who will accept them. All she asks in return are prayers of thanks to Mielikki.
What brought on this sudden bout of druidic good will, none can say.*_
-
Saria lets word spread around Norwick that she has some Armour for the 'Pretty Man' if he still needs some.
-
Clay has been absent from the gates more often than not lately… never seeming to be around. Nobody sees him around the town, or even much in the forest unless they stumble along the campsite he and Dondiah share. However, when he is seen, he always seems to be less than a stone's throw away from the petite, blonde elfie. If asked where he's been recently, he gives a simple answer:
"Don't worry about it."
-
The Rose Knight walks back into Norwick, befert of the holy armor, shield, and gloves he's come to be seen in. He looks sad, and somber, but smiles and ensures anyone who asks that it's all for the best.
He does ask if a skilled smith can loan him a tower shield and set of platemail for a short time.
-
Dwin Dolvak is said to be looking for an "established wiggler" who can enchant a pair of boots for him.
Any such wiggler should contact him ((PM)) at the Crafting Hall or the Dwarven Hold.
Apparently he will pay a handsome fee to anyone that can help him.
-
Rico Swift continues his quest for information, and is putting together an expedition of good natured folks to ride roughshod over to Oscura looking for answers as well. ((Say, Midnight tonight, EST, after I get home from work. That'll be in about 11.5 hours from now))
-
Hearing the news about the dog men and the missing wifes, Kabul heads out to the south trying to find any trace or evidence on both rumors.
He scans the area south of the lake, the goblin broderland and hobgoblns territory for a few consecutive nights.
When the sun comes up, he retuns to town for some rest and to prepare for the next night out.
-
Gossip at the south gate might well include an attack of a decidedly unusual kind - animated pants, reportedly very smelly and aggressive, followed by their gnome creator. Despite very generously handing out bright green sets of armours to the small crowd present, the gnome's life is said to have ended violently after certain misgivings about his newest and most spectacular spell - the Fiery Cannon-Ball Cows of the Abyss.
-
*As usual, the clanging sound of metalwork can be heard coming from the Crafters Union Guild Hall. What's unusual is that, for two solid days, it doesn't really stop for very long.
When it finally does stop, a weary looking Z is spotted leaving the hall, and heading north at a quick gallop.*
-
Strange numbers of regular housewives have been going missing as of late. There seems to be no trace of where they were or where they are now, they are just… gone.
-
_Late one night, a woman can be seen huddled at the bonfire in Norwick proper.
When approached, she says very little, but continues to mumble on about crazed dog men and shadows. She seems much less than coherent, mumbling and rocking herself back and forth.
At dawn, she stands wearily, heavily leaning on a staff and walks back towards the north gate._
