Whispers at the Fire
-
The south gate was recently very busy again a couple nights ago, with a few returning adventurers, old and new, discussing the great victory over a sizable hobgoblin ambush force in the Rawlins!
Some loot was split, and friendships made, and a general good mood kept the area smiling for a while, a nice change from the solemn mood that some felt beforehand and made mention of… perhaps regular guest patrols might become a recurring thing, as a very tall guard was heard mentioning.
Perhaps.

Afterwards, rumor spreads that they placed the blame for the bugbear invasion squarely on deceased Chancellor Biswan and her misguided policies, and made certain demands regarding leadership, though rumor can't seem to agree on what these demands were.
Fafir Ganeer, being one of the heavily armed and armored dwarves, even tough he carries no armour nor weapons, can be seen around town ranting about a lying people and their tricks to mislead general opinion.
- And I have proof!
He shouts before heading to the tuck me inn to get his well deserved ale mug.

Having failed to manage to get Norwick's other leaders to grant him meetings to change things before such a thing occured, Cecil hand-delivers a letter to the new folks at the Great Hall, requesting information on the proceedings from here on, with a note that their action has gotten the attention of parties abroad, and that he would like to be informed on any future plans and happenings. He says the same to any guards or citizens who ask him as he walks through town, but he does not enter the great hall himself, as he was not a part of this process, which he also answers if asked.

_A company of heavily armed and armored dwarves of the hold, led by Dwin Dolvak, is seen to enter the Norwick Great Hall.

Upon hearing the news, Gemli starts to put up a sign:_
@74e45e16a3:
CELEBRATE THE ASCENT OF YOUR NEW DWARVEN OVERLORDS WITH 25% OFF ALL DWARVEN HOLD ARMS, WEAPONRY, AND DEFORESTATION EQUIPMENT UNTIL COUP D'ETAT ENDS! A FINE NORWICK TRADITION YOUR WALLET WILL LOVE!
However, an irritated messenger from the hold makes him take it down again and gives him a good ranting at.

A farmer and his wife have a rather loud and public marital dispute. The husband says his new Raumviri neighbors are good-for-nothing squatters. The wife says he should be grateful they came or he would have wound up a drooling zombie just like their previous neighbors.
When a friendly dwarf (Fafir Ganeer) tries to intervene and defend the Raumviri both the husband AND the wife turn on him asking him what business it is of his to enter their perfectly civil discussion.
The dispute continues and spills over into other topics such as "You're a lousy cook!" , "You're lousy in bed!", and "I should have listened to my mother when she told me not to marry you!"

Fafir Ganeer is a constant and dazziling presence in Norwick these days. He spends his days walkng up and down making small talk with townfolks. He offers to help them with small matters, fixing fences, doors, and anything else an engineer can do for the people around town.
He takes sometime trying to learn the names of a few of the Raumviri, not key people, but some folks not related to the curent militia.
((OOC: not sure this is the place to post it, but I could not think of any better one. What he is trying to find out is:
1 - Aproximate number of Raumviri;
2 - If there are factions among the Raumviri and their leaders (if any);
3 - Aproximate number of non Raumviri;For his interactions with the townsfolks, he will be always walking around with an emp eagles on himself))
Fafir continues his up and down walk around Norwick, geting to know whatever he can learn about the Raumviri. He is also constantly seem around the town hall, learning what he can about the guards and employees there

Rumors spread about a recent attack to the southern side of the town. The attackers, most of them goblins, were repelled by the adventurers that were discussing futile matters near the gate at that time. A short but direct attack. They even came from the ground! Some say. But a tremor was suffice to make the hole colapse along with the usual benches and the chance of a seat.
Who knows what the enemy was intended to do with such a small force!. Maybe a provocation. All we know is that the half finished wooden balor still stands by the ruins entrance unharmed.
-
From the barracks, after a particularly tiring day, a certain guardsman can be seen being attacked? No, delivered a message to by a bird, reading it as he walks in.
The joyous shout that occurs moments after probably scares the feathers right off of said bird, and anyone else nearby for that matter.

Upon hearing rumour of this apparition's reappearance, Val heads to Norwick to seek it out.
// Will try to catch you IG
-
Somebody -might- have seen an apparition of 5 years past in gold armor with a dark red cloak walk through town, and right back out again, looking haggard, unshaven, and a bit pale and thin. Was it an apparition?
-
Word gets around that at his speech Davos reminded the populace that the treaty with Ostromog would expire within two tendays and he stated that he and D'Cameron would continue to share governing duties. Davos thanked the Raumviri for their years of service and promoted the Raumviri chief, Vosnyia "Voss", to commander of the Norwick militia. All militia personnel are to report to Voss within a tenday or be prepared to turn in their cloak.
Of the Q&A session afterwards, no two summaries agree except in noting a good deal of furor.
There was also roast hog.

((Was the recap of the Davos speech posted someplace? I thought it was going to be simulcast on the forums…))
…Bump?

Having missed the big announcement, Hess the Woodsman asks around to see what the big reveal was from the Great Hall.

_Rumour of the goblin-slaying kobold continue, some even saying the small scaly creature slew a bugbear - though proof of this seems nonexistant. Far more readily apparant though, are the piles of brutally killed and scalped goblins, resting in hideous droves by the walls near the gates of Norwick. And speaking of gates, a retaliation attack by goblins soon saw those gates blown to bits, virtue of a fizzling keg delivered by two grenadiers.
Norwick in turn, answered by assembling a group of their own to strike deep into the goblin territory, the warriors returning hours later with much cheer and bravado, sharing a feast with those that remained to guard against counter-attacks._
-
Rumours abound of a Kobold witnessed stalking the woods, killing goblins by the dozen.
-
_By now, no one could have missed the news - Fendon is defeated, destroyed, and is no more! Whilst popular opinion may name Allestor Hollins - newly appointed knight of the Order and priest of Ilmater - as the Slayer of Fendon, more seasoned campaigners might attribute success in the less glamorous terms of group effort. Others yet mention lady Daisy Millern's self sacrifice as a vital key to victory.
Rumours also speak of a bugbear agent arriving at the gates, shortly after the return of the parties involved in Fendon's downfall. Clearly, Ostromog is watching…_
-
Rumours say three warriors two of Torm and one Lathanderite fought undead within the gates of Norwick. They also had to knock down guards glamoured by a very pale female vampire with the name Liddy. People of the town of Norwick should be cautious walking outside after dark, and beware this vampire escaped and can still be hiding somewhere within the gates.
-
Elva seems quite distressed by this

*Word has it that the Lathander priest, Janick was under the influence of something evil and during that time he had a small conversation with Maria. What they spoke about is yet unknown for Maria left the temple running, never to be seen ever again.
The most skilled trackers have failed to follow her tracks for there are none, some priests have tried to scry but the something even more powerfull blocks the scrying powers.
There are two adventurers who last seen Maria in the temple for they were in the temple when she left running, however very little they can say about what they´ve "seen" becouse they´ve lost eye sight once they steped into the temple, only to recover vision few hours later.
One thing is for sure though…. MAria is missing and her location unknown....*
