Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
One rainy afternoon, the Engineer with an iron arm is seen hoisted up to the windows of one of bottleneck's apartments, Whistling idly and singing in a heavily accented Illuskan brough as he affixes steel bars across the windows, Finishing the hinges with an enchanted lock and setting a bottle of some sort down inside the window with the key around it, before closing the lock and snapping the bars shut and closing the glass and pine panels, keeping the key well out of reach of a thief.
// Any interactions can be dealt with in PMs to me, what he was singing about/conversations, and such. //

Adventures tell the tale that the passage through caves of the Kuo Toa to the Underdark has been barricaded, possibly as a result of a cave in.
"Bet it was one of dem der purple worms digging a tunnel?"
"A worm caving in a whole cavern…that's it old timer, I'm cutting you off."
"Is true! Why I've seen one once so large it could swallow a dragon whole. Or your mother in two bites. HAHAHA!"

::The miller when he is in market is overheard seeing he is hearing real odd noises from the beach below the farmstead, right unsettling it is too. He don’t go down there to fish no more that’s for sure::

_Rumours spread of heated debate in the Senate Chambers, concerning Senator Ronan Redralen. The rumours confirm he was recently found guilty of assault in Norwick, and go on to say that he refused to apologise to the Senate for the indignity of a Senator being found guilty of a crime in Peltarch's southern ally's jurisdiction. The Senator is said to have refused to apologise and walked out of the Chambers, at which point Senator Ryan Fisher is said to have begun proposing a controversial motion of Censure in the sorcerer Senator.
The idea of a Senator being guilty of assault is the talk of the town, commonfolk on the streets giving Ronan a wide berth, afraid of any magical ire he might invoke. The Civic District is already abuzz with rumours of more organised protests against the scandal of the affair._

Rumor has it that the elf known as Faelar has been seen going inside the orphanage with a bag stuffed with something and coming out with nothing.
Rumor also has it that, in the swamp, several koblods have been found with their throats cut. There was no sign of a struggle. It looks like robbery was the possible motive.

With the success of the first menu during the last season, the young Ilmatarian monk Miala after much experimenting had come up with the new menu with more options, ready to serve to all employees and patrons of the Temple of the Triad, the senate, and with the assistance of the other city cooks, the Peltarch military.
The breakfast menu includes a savory saffron rice porridge topped with with crispy pieces of salt pork, a poached quail's egg and sauteed celery root slices. For those who must eat on the go, a lightly spiced flaky apple strudel with tiny bits of candied ginger all about it for a more chewy texture contrast as well as offering more play on the tongue could be chosen as well.
For lunch, coconut curried beef or fowl served mild, spicy, and extra spicy (A waiver must be signed to access the later) stewed with peppers and potatoes served on jasmine rice, or if someone prefers something a little lighter, braised duck wanton soup, with broth made from a stock of braised duck, locally farmed onions and shallots, ginger, and spices; wantons made from thin rice paper squares stuffed with lean locally grown beef and harvested crayfish. Both meals are served with summer rolls, the soft moist rice-paper rolls filled with locally grown lettuce, icelace shrimp and ground cooked wild boar, served with a side of sweet and salty peanut sauce. For dessert, dark chocolate blended with cream cheese sandwiched between two fresh soft ginger bread cookies.
For dinner, every other night Miala can be seen preparing and roasint a large wild boar, skin crisp and salty on a spit with tender flesh, steamed rice buns cooked in banana leaf filled ground beef, light cheddar and broccoli, fresh rye bread, mashed potatoes, and a gravy made from pork fat drippings and sauteed onions. Desserts include strawberry rhubarb pie, or a refreshing cup of shaved ice topped lychee syrup.
Often as she can, Miala runs to the city hall and takes the orders of each individual, and delivers the food personally to all members of the senate. Rumors could be also heard that a large plate of apple strudels can often seen being delivered to an especially appreciative senator.

_A very twitchy elf, dirty and wild looking, was accosted by two legionnaires in the commons.
…All he had done was introduce himself when asked to.
Though there were no witnesses, a nearby party arrived during, and fled with one of the attackers using spells of invisibility
the poor elf wandered off into the gloom again, rambling in broken sentences_

Hearing about the food, Hammer gives some thought to enlisting in the Defenders.

_As the scents of fresh foreign spices and ginger permeate the air as eastern Kara-turan influenced food seems to float about the city. Rumor spreads of a new cook hired by Sir Roland named Miala, was hired to work for the city of Peltarch as a cook, making meals for soldiers on duty as well as the temple of the Triad. She can often be seen waiting in the docks early in the morning, speaking to the import merchants for the freshest ingredients and produce.
Menu options for this season (one IRL week) include Savory slathered strips of tender boar meat marinated in a sweet ginger sauce topped with sesame seeds and caramelized onions, with stir fried veggies are served to order mild for most, and spicy for the bold, and -very- spicy for the extremely adventurous.
For those with more nautical tastes, food from the Wu region is provided, as fresh thin sliced raw pieces of delicate whitefish and freshwater lake salmon are lightly brushed with a small side of something called soy sauce, a salty flavorful sauce made from eastern soy bean extract. The sides served with it include a seaweed salad with sesame oil and white rice vinegar, along with vegetables deep fried and crusted with a flaky thin batter._
