Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
_A party is seen talking to a mind flayer in the copper's main hall, Magic is sewn and they are whisked away. Soon afterwards, that party is seen leaving the Mithril Mug bearing many treasures.
Later, the Dread Bardess is seen wandering oscura's halls, her fingers dancing across the bridge of her fiddle as a delicate arm works its bow, the shrill notes of the macabre song cry out through the underground vaults, A miasma of sorrow and misery settling in her wake_
-
*Vladimir, Quelcoth and gibbs it is rumoured hunted down an Osucran traitor to Mintas.
The rumours were confirmed when they returned with the head clutched by Gibbs.
On another note, rumours are that Vladimir has taken to watching the battlements, some say he is looking out for angry surfacers, others say he is simply bored, who knows?*
-
As her crimson boots click together, the Dirge Bardess begins her dancing steps as she glides gracefully through the underground halls of oscura. Her steps carry her to the coppers gently and she slips in behind another patron as they open the door, her macabre dance ending as the door behind her shuts. Looking out over the patrons, her gaze settles on the netherese and the slightest hint of a smile crosses her lips and she parts her lips to sing gently. the notes cry out through the coppers, her unnatural misama of sorrow ever present as she moves again to some unknown beat in her head, her song seeming to tug at the happieness of any listening, but for once.. there are some who might not find her music unnatural and repulsive, for once, she feels as if she's singing for an audience that is truly listeing.
// The presence of Undead is allways Wonderfull for a Dirgesinger

-
Rumors spread that Creg Fester and Teresa Kyzanos are now engaged to be wed, after several months of quiate courtship. Few have seen the ring on her finger as of yet.
-
A large contingent of Shadovar merchants and warriors arrives through the gates of Oscura. They head to the makeshift accomodations granted to them and their merchants prepare to trade goods with Oscuran merchants and inhabitants.
//Keep an eye out for Netherese traders//
-
A man suddenly comes crashing through the door of the Oscura's Shiny coppers with sword drawn. He eagerly scans the crowd but appears not to find the man he was looking for. As he sheathes his sword the man turns and leave with the whispering of a curse visible only on his lips
-
A score or so of shadowy figures march into Oscura and head through the gates and are seemingly directed by nervous looking Guardsman to the audience chamber of the Tribunal.
-
Upon hearing the news of the dead man Cray purses his lips, with the corners of his mouth curled upward slighty, as though Cray has some sort of distain for the Mulhorandi.
-
The corpse of a Mulhorandi man was found outside the Raven Rift near the surface. The man was obviously killed by sword wounds - likely from a hand-and-a-half blade. He had no possessions on him other than a ruined armor and a shield. As it seems the man was not blooded, the guard give little care as to an investigation.
-
The Selunite Aelthas can be seen the past few nights to be enjoying the Coppers. Nothing more then a goblet of rothe milk in his hand, he simply sits against one of the walls, in plain brown clothing, not the usual bright pink. He speaks to no one unless spoken to first, with the exception of the bartender or a waitress when ordering his drinks, just staring off at the wall most times, his long blonde hair now streaked with grey at the temples, the corners of his eyes creased as if his age is finally getting to him.
-
_Anyone travelling the tunnels that lead to the duergar dwellings can find along the way a camp with Kossuthan symbology. Upon approaching the camp, eight bodies can be seen laying in the ground. Seven of those bodies are heavily armored and wear Kossuthan symbols, a few of them wearing Thayvian crests in addition to that.
The last body, a young girl wearing mere rags, has been tended with special care and laid to rest, unlike all the other bodies which seem to have been carnaged by blade and magic and piled up. Upon further inspection, some dig holes can be found, with multiple digging tools and several traces of slaves working on them, such as chains and shackles.
However, no slaves are to be found. Other than perhaps the young girl wearing rags that didn't survive whatever happened, and was carefully tended to afterlife?_

A boat returns to the docks, and from it departs a crimson-haired man covered in a black cloak. His shadowy greaves clank practically soundlessly on the stony dock.
It seems Blackwater has returned.
Vladimir puts 10 gold (binned) behind the bar at the coppers upon hearing of Brydens return
"Get him whatever he likes when hes back in Jario"

Recently there has been a surge of a small amount of exotic goods from the west. Various spices, foodstuffs, silk wares, weaponry, pottery, and even some very peculiar but delicious sausages can be found at various vendors in small quantities. Where this sudden influx came from is anybodies guess, but the blooded seem quite content in their revelry of some small level of positive change.
-
_Some extra guards can be seen at the Raven Rift and docks, most likely watching for any panicked Peltarchians.
Meanwhile, smugglers have been delighted at the recent chaos in the Peltarch docks, and more Peltarch goods are seen in Oscura than usual._
-
Over the past few months, a Woman clad in dark silks and soft leather boots has been seen playing the macabre tune of her fiddle by the well, occasionally retiring to reverie before returning to have her notes cry out through oscura's commons once again. only recently is Aune seen wandering away from the well to mingle with the people.
-
Panting, limping and bleeding, a dark-clad trio haste across the bridge to Oscura from the caverns beyond the Hellmouth. The recognizable figure of Black Sails captain Sabre Seesaw is one of the three, and after a few choice curses, she warns the guards about the cause of the party's speedy exit - drow.
"Couple o'them rat-arsed wankers still out there, heavily armored an' chop-happy. I'd nay recommend goin' out there fer a liiil' while yet.."
-
The Inquisitor has been seen going around to several of the different merchants around town, namely the rothe and mushroom farmers, as well as the Skullcrusher clan, and lastly stopping in at the library to have a chat with the Red Falcons.
