Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
The wild and extroverted - some say crazy - redhead known as Elaine who seems to frequent the city quite a lot, is lately found around the commons area juggling all kinds of fruits on her nose. While some just take it as confirmation that the girl is completely nuts, others are just content because while she's doing that, she's not wreaking havoc, and she even seems slightly less talkative…
-
South of the Peltarch walls and all the way to the shrine of Tempus, the land blessed by Chauntea lies scorched and burnt after the enormous red dragon's attack. The dragon's arrival was reportedly heralded by a large number of fire salamanders pouring forth from a portal near the shrine, setting the ground and several of the defenders rushing to meet them on fire. One Cerulean is said to have fallen in the defence of the city, the dragon spreading panic and blisteringly hot breaths of fire before taking to the skies with one of its fallen followers clutched in a gigantic clawed foot.

Siamorphean clerics have been appearing in the city. It is unknown why they are here, but their numbers are increasing. They've mostly been seen in the different libraries located within the city.

Hearing the rumor of Rass' return, Romulus was overheard asking: "Was Penny there too? I would really love to meet her!"

The land south of peltarch has been schorched by a dragon!
Was it Rass?
Was it Maria?
Majority of "adventurers" who have been close to the dragon are saying Rass.

A man and a woman, their cloaks caked with snow, were seen entering the Meremaid last night. After shaking the snow off and lowering their hoods, they turned out to be Troff Legion Captain Romulus and his sister, Shesarai, returning to the Jewell after a long absence.
"Where you two been?" shouted Kat.
Romulus, in a merry mood, merely sang her a song. Shesarai rolled her eyes and lowering her voice replied. "Don't mind him. He talked me into going with him to a Bard's Convention! I have to admit, the singing and story telling were good, and went on for a very long time. But the food wasn't nearly as good as here."
Kat smiled.

Some whisper of Analesia Bravickus being seen on the rant stand executing four Senators and a demonic attack following her disappearance. Whether it was the woman herself or another isn't completely certain, but several citizens and mercenaries lay dead by the rant stand alongside the bodies of a couple hezrou. Adventurers and Ceruleans were seen fighting in the streets against the mercenaries and demons and the "Senators" who were killed were said to have turned to snow and melted away right before the eyes of onlookers.
-
The meat incident might spark further speculation about that particular Cerulean's eating habits. Strange, unconfirmed rumours speak of cats disappearing in the middle of the night, baked and devoured by a blue-clad, ever ravenous beast…
-
A Cerulean, that babblin' one wot can't string a sentence together, is rumored to have been seen collecting juicy looking meat bits from around the Sundial in the Peltarch Commons earlier, apparently the greedy bastard is intent on keeping it all to himself!
-
Soup Kitchen called Lathander's Light appears near the Temple Lighthouse. It offers free basic food for the poor, as well as blankets and mittens decorated by a small smiling sun.
-
_Cold weather and snow start creeping up to Peltarch from southeast. Civic district gets occasional snowstorms.
The land Onion Union is trying to claim gets coated in snow.
The kobolds in the swamps are shivering and sluggish as the weather is even colder there._
-
A general hubbub arises around city hall as local scribe Morris Purcandel is wounded in the back with an arrow from some mysterious unknown person atop city hall.
"Ooh. Ow. It still hurts!"
Shortly after, Morris was seen, alongside a darkly dressed woman to be skulking about on the roof of city hall with the birds.
Later still, the pair are joined by one mage Elaine in some sort of brawl on the docks with local toughs. They seemed to hang about the docks for many hours whilst Elaine disappeared and reappeared.
What strange goings on!

New city arrival, Morris Purcandel, seems to be on the up and up!
Somewhere within the bowels of the city hall where mild opportunities are abound for young go-getters seeking to climb the ladders of governmental fortune sits Morris Purcandel behind a small flimsy desk. He appears to copy out official documents, fold them gently, drip wax onto the seam and stamp the official city seal onto the paper before sending it off to lands afar or alternatively filing the copy away. He seems only to undertake this duty of scribing during early morning hours and from afternoon till mid-evening - and in between such a time he remains still in city hall speaking with heralds; sharing information and discussing the formation of current noble houses. Whenever Morris is seen to be lax in his duties, Herald Fisher looms nearby causing Morris to work faster.
All in all, the paperwork of city hall marches on for Morris Purcandel, sometimes adventurer and now often scribe.
"I hope Walter doesn't see me." He thinks.

Along with a one handed hin called Hether, Anna Blake can be seen helping till the fields in the west. The one handed halfling, to many people's surprise, is tilling the field with her bare hand. Now and then Anna would heal it and bandage it up if necessary.
When asked why, Anna informs them its part of the girl's monk training.
(to elaborate further, this is the western fields, not south fields, ones that already exist, to avoid confusion from a couple of people!)
-
The commons were host to a rowdy commotion last night. What began as an argument in the afternoon concerning the abuse of magic came to a crescendo with accusations of corruption and injustice, counter accusations of dishonesty, and with threats of physical violence.
Senator Maria was arrested and taken to the prison after nearly incinerating a Legion soldier.
-
Alvaniel Danicen is seen moving from tavern to tavern, having a drink or two, but see seems intent on listening to local gossip and to see whom is present there…
-
Rumors abound that Thomas Tiller is seen heading to a meeting with several guild leaders. Later that day announcement comes from the League of Guilds: The Onion Union is now an official guild in Peltarch.

After a successful venture through undead infested barrows, ODS squire Peter Peters is seen in the local orphanage, entertaining the children with the tale of his most recent adventure, which included a beautiful, albeit very evil Nightmare, and a quick footed hin skeleton, ((following a lucky 20+2 Perform roll)). After that, he leaves the profits of said adventure with the orphanage's caretakers. ((g.p. trashed)).

Trent is seen coming in covered in webs and dirt and speaking calmly to Lisa, he makes no attempt to hide his words and makes it easy for any to hear it.
Hey Lisa, me an Cray just got back from the Kobold den, was bloody spiders down there, some slaads an ettin an a huge arsed spider, we killed em all, but the Gnolls may be drivin the spiders outta the forests. May wanna warn the general public…
With that Trent is seen slipping off towards the docks with Cray
