Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
Word on the street is, that Cray is looking to buy at least forty grand worth of potions at wholesale prices.
-
::As the days go by in relative calm around Peltarch, Defender Shallyah is seen less and less in public besides her outdoor shifts. When she does show herself, she is often walking hurriedly between the Residential and the Commercial district carrying plans, maps or books. Whatever she is doing seems to require most of her free time if not all, and it doesn't seem like it can wait::
-
Cray was spotted on the surface… For the first time in a few years. He carried a small wooden crate through town from the Docks District to the Trading Post. Cray was seen returning to Oscura a short time later.
To anyone that was paying attention... Cray unloaded some goods at the Trading Post and also received a sack of coin.

Troff Legion Captain Romulus Grey was seen running out of the Mermaid calling for a guard. He reported that he overheard some thieves murmuring in a room at the back of the lower floor of the Mermaid Inn while he was trying to sleep upstairs. Gathering a couple of sturdy fighters with him, he led the way to the Mermaid's back hall, only to find that Rith Phoenixfeather and Vash't, who he had warned first, had already taken care of the problem.
Rith went to the room Romulus had pointed out intending to speak with whoever was there, but the three individuals immediately attacked her. Big mistake! They were quickly dispatched before Romulus and the two fighters (Sir Andrew and Albryanna) arrived. The thieves looked like common footpads.

Additional rumours speak of troubles to the west, a big group of orcs massing in the foothills past the Watchtower. A group of adventurers headed out to assist, returning with three dead in Helmite garb. The fallen were taken to the Temple of the Triad for their last rites before the party dispersed to go their separate ways.
-
Rumors speak of a Lathanderite warrior and a merchant in red who managed to penetrate the Kobolds den and vanquish the fiendish forces within.The warrior claimed Lathander's favour helped them defeat the evil foes.
-
Sir Ky'Amendos Wefneren of the Order of the Divine Shield warns those he can of demonic forces within the kobold cave in the swamp. He tells of encountering numerous quasits and a demonic looking manticore. Unable to proceed further, he came back to Peltarch to give warning
-
"SLAADI!", the lanky half-elf exclaims, waggling a pair of gruesome tongues illustratively to whoever is willing to listen at the Peltarch commons.
"You'd think kobolds are mean enough, yeah, but these leaping red friends of theirs are even worse! Did you know they reproduce by implanting eggs underneath your skin, and then the baby slaad eats you up from inside!? Makes you wonder why anyone would want to make friends, doesn't it? Unless kobolds have a masochistic streak a miiiile wide..
There were three of them in the Warrens, but Andrew chopped frog's legs left and right, BAM, SLAM! Win!"

::A few days later, Defender Shallyah is seen putting up a notice at the City Hall's billboard, as well as asking any guards and Defenders to be informative about the situation in the Nars Pass, especially to those that plan to travel southwards. The notice reads as follows::
Due to recent expansion of gnoll tribes, it is strongly advised for citizens of Peltarch to exercise extreme caution when transiting southwards through Nars Pass. Area is not safe to travel through as recent gnoll activity patterns show that even north end of Legion Tower pass is currently subject to ambushes from their younger and stealthier types.
These creatures are victim of yet unknown plague that could have dire consequences to one's health. Citizens be reminded that at this stage Peltarch's authorities believe that this plague can spread dangerously and quickly, and so in order to keep Peltarch from harm anyone found carrying plague will be denied access within Peltarch's walls until cured.
-
::The Defender Shallyah begins to actively warn any citizens heading towards the west that the area is not considered safe anymore due to increased orc presence, and they may want to be cautious when venturing in that direction::
-
Word has it that the Red Haired diviner, Zahra has been openly seeking to enlist the aid of an expert in conventional medicine, specificaly curatives to combat disease. Though she has also been heard to say that she is not interested in any applicants who have divine magic at thier' fingertips.

_A Paladin has been doing the rounds.
He has been patrolling the taverns and public meeting places in his_ “QUEST against EVIL”. He is dressed in a shiny suit of armour that could only be described as the male equivalent of the chain-mail bikini. The suit includes an exceedingly large codpiece. A full faced helm conceals the paladin's identiy, and seems to amplify his voice a little.
Some of his antics:

When Maki finally meets with Mystic she would tell him "Sweet little Maki dont you worry, I was driven by curiosity and knowledge. I could not afford such treasure but it be valued to have known its composition"
-
Maki would apologize sincerely once meeting Mystic, having told her that the ring had been sold to a young woman guard with silver hair.
-
Mystic hear about the rumors and sets out to find Maki…
-
Rumor has it that the halfling Maki Hiltold has made a ring with Tymora's luck of almost legendary power, and is looking for goodly folk to sell it to or trade it. It is said to not only increase the wearer's strength, but to also strengthen mind, body, and soul against traps and magic, as well as make them impervious to all but the deepest of chills. He says that it WILL not come cheap, and trades are preferred.
At this point… he can be seen avoiding the docks district.

_A rumour about a mutilated and chewed kobold runs around the City of Peltarch.
Some claim that the kobolds have turned into cannibalism, eating their own kin in effort to try and make the race strong with only the best of soldiers. Some speak of hungry travellers, some of dark rituals, some even claim to have seen tribesmen walking about the area in search for food.
Even the physical appearance of the kobold is questionable: Some claim it to be chewed to the bone, some speak of ripped arms and legs while others claim the heart to have been missing. Someone even says that the kobold was drained of all the blood, like a vampire of legends had attacked it.
Whatever is the truth, it is hard to make out from the speakings of old wives and eager young boys dreaming of becoming fearsome adventurers one day._

Rumors swirl of a Fire Giant sighting in the western farmlands.

Troff Legion officers General Theaon Thorn and Captain Romulus Grey came into the Peltarch Commons to report a major gnoll ambush on the road through the Nars Pass. Three gnoll witch docters and more than half a dozen diseased gnoll younglings attacked the two Legionaires, but were beaten by some serious spell casting. Theaon and Romulus then recruited Peltarch Defender Shallyah, Swordsman Andrew, and young Elvira for a patrol through the Gnoll woods and den. Young diseased gnolls have continued to congregate outside the woods since then, but at least no more casters were among them.
