Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
_Dressed for the occasion, the flaxen haired wizard calls on the noble houses of Peltarch in more regal purples and gold.
"I come offering tutelage in the arcane arts to your sons and daughters. Spellweaver lies at your services, should you choose to join our ranks. I truly have no need to press upon you the importance of such matters in todays world. You have no doubt given the matter immense thought. I merely tender this offer."
"As for what I have to gain? Well, the tuition rates are reasonable and standardized, although closer attention can be …arranged... as desired. Not that we'd refuse any willing patronage...nor would we forget it either. But a teacher is ever a student himself, and those who seek true mastery teach others. I only come to offer the chance to further the talents of the brightest of the next generation."_

_Word begins to leak out about a mysterious villain called "the Puppeteer" having been defeated by the Order of the Divine Shield and allied adventurers near the ruined remains of a small town which bore the name Flabesburg, a few days west of Peltarch itself.
Likely not coincidentally, it is said the Ilmateri priest Allestor "The Slayer" Hollins brought something special back to the Jewel - the fabled Shroud of Ilmater, which cured a great plague in Peltarch years back._

elena would be asking around peltarch if anyone had seen corwin, and to let him know she was looking for him.
-
Arthur would be seen rushing around Peltarch stopping at the orphanage then dropping a note off on the desk of the Order. He would later be seen speaking to a stable hand about long term care for his mare then rushing back out of the stable and summoning his Celestial Stallion. As he mounts he pulls out a small silver whistle blowing on it then riding out as fast as he can trusting his mount not to throw him.
Rushing down the dirt path he is met by a hin whom he just nods to saying only the island of Arelith, in moments he is gone from all of Narfel, the Celestials tracks literally seeming to vanish without a trace.
When he arrives in Arelith he spends three days hunting down Kata Talos and pays her a small sum to teleport him to Dammora which again takes the matter of two days to prepare properly and open for him.
When he arrives in Dammora he begins seeking out the order of the Silver Chalice…
(( this is being left open for Rey and Rom to jump into if they want to bump into him there ))

Arthur would be seen finally leaving the temple and heading into the Mermaid, after a few drinks and a hot meal he finally tucks into a bed and passes out completely exhausted, more surprising is the young orphan Jake who comes and curls up with him.

@4094b72832=Vanderkaus:
A female hin was found unconcious at the Docks. Her stat, it is sai, is to be worried. Peltarch guard's are looking for relatives of her.
Arthur would be seen by all members of the order sitting over the female hin protectively, checking her temperature, helping her eat and drink on random occasions and rarely resting. His breaks are usually sitting close by as Talindra takes over or reporting to High Priest Galin of any changes in her condition then right back to her side. He would seem oath bound to protect the downed hin.

Arthur is seen around Peltarch and the Orphanage spending a good bit of time with a timid child named Jake. Though still spending much time with the other orphans, Arthur seems to show this child a bit more favor often bringing him with him to the commons or to the Mermaid for a treat.
-
Celia cleric of Torm is also seen by the temple at the docks usually around mid day. With the recent increase in crime and a murder she feels that with the extra time on her hands, there is no better way then to watch over the hopeful and future citizens of Peltarch.
With a basket full of apples she sits on the templs stairs watching. The children, she prays, are still carefree and ignorant to the horrors of this land.
-
Rumors spread of Arthur Forge being seen with his mare hanging around the Peltarch Orphanage offering free rides to the children, playing with them, helping feed and tend them and randomly cuddling with a child that seems to need some extra attention.
-
Everyone is talking about a missing body from the morgue around town.
-
HORROR ON THE DOCKS.
If the situation wasn't bad enough, now the guard has to deal with a hideous crime.
A small young halfling was murdered, his face difigured beyond recognition. His body showing signs of extreme torture.
The guards quickly take the body towards the morgue, where it stays waiting for someone to claim him.
-
A cleric and warrior in golden and royal blue armor is seen stepping off a boat in the docks heading to the Mermaid Inn
-
After a small wagon loaded with luggage left the Temple's porch, gossip flows. Some suggest that a certain priestess had resigned…while the most vicious painted her having had an illicit affair with a famous person and fleeing a disgraceful revelation.
-
rumor spreads that a large golem was seen wanting to trade with peltarch.
-
::A familiar figure returns upon an equally familiar steed. His gold and blue armour repentant in the light of the sun in the crisp early air of The Jewel, he stops first at the temple of the Triad. Upon leaving his mood seems visibly shaken as he makes his way to the Senate Chambers::
-
::A few days after, although looking generally better rested and in lighter mood, the Defender Shallyah has been seen taking some of her belongings to the Temple of the Triad, where she appears to be spending her nights::
-
Hen remains floating about Peltarch in her shadows and nooks looking for anything disastrous or Cyrst in nature however she keeps close to the warry deffender, though not directly standing watch anything that would come close to her traced and tired mind that seemed a threat would be diverted away or worse….
-
_::As crime and disaster appears to take over Peltarch, the Defender Shallyah tires to keep her usual calm attitude as she focuses on aiding where she can to mitigate the effects of the chaos that seems to reign on the streets. Tiredness takes a notch on her mood almost daily as she reaches her body's physical limits by doubling or even tripling her own shifts to cover for those Defenders that see themselves forced to stay home to protect their families, or leave the Jewel.
In the small breaks that she allows herself while on duty she is seen sitting on her own, her grey eyes unfocused and distant, her gesture pensive and heavily concerned as if in inner struggle::_

Chaos in the jewel.
Over the night, all the peace and quiet of the city is broken.
At the docks, crime increases. Theft and robery all around the district. No one walks alone at night there anymore. The inns are mostly empty, since the people of town preffer not to gamble with their life and get mugged in the strreets.
The city guard is on alert. Everywhere you look there's one of them, trying to keep the peace. Their presence, however, does not seem to stop the law-breakers. Arrests are a common sight at the streets.
Fathers and mothers comiting crimes and being draged to the goal. The jail is almost at its full capacity after a few days.
At the market, shops close earlier than usual since almost no client enter. Bussiness are slower and slower by the hour.
At the residential district there was a a concerning number of breakings and enterings. Houses are locked, children do not play on the streets. Once again the presence of the city guard do not stop the atemps.
News from the Senate are that the representatives do not know how to stop this. Gossip everywhere is that a few senators have, already, moved to out of town. The Common people are displeased with this.
Soldiers are missing from their duties. Some say they are taking care of their families, some say they simple left the armed arm of The Jewel.
From the rantstand, speeches are made. Some point the finger towards the politicians, blaming them for these hapenings. Some blame the knights from the Order.
Some Senators come out to adress the citizens, after they finish speaking, their faces meet tomatoes and cabadges.
There is an increasing concern about the west. Some farmers saying they can hear the drums of the orc tribes closer and closer. The reports from the swamps aren't diferent. Lizards are more active than ever.
A general feeling of fear spreads around…. fast as a fire in a barn.
All this in the last three days......
