Tavern Rumors of Peltarch



  • The Ranger Ting can be seen (or not seen ) making rounds in the Docks District in the lookout for those responsible for the beatings that have taken place.



  • Rumour has it Hen has been seen much more actively in Peltarch at this time after the two recent beatings when she is seen she is often in the commons. However when she is not seen it is difficult to know where the elf has gone.



  • Rumour is that the Elf in the blade and bow store has been found badly wounded. They didn't have time to finish the job, apparently, as the other vendor of the shop arrived in time to prevent further damage.
    When found, the elf vendor was seen smiling and laughing, and was repeating to himself, "they took the coins, they fell for it"



  • Rumour is that an elf was found unconscious in a dark alley by the docs district. The elf had been apparently given a hard beating, none of his possessions stolen, but several bones broken.

    Some say it could've been a debt unpayed, or a bad brawl in one of the taverns, the truth is yet unknown and it's said the elf was brought to the lighthouse temple to recover from his wounds.


  • The Halfling Defence League

    Rumors swirl of a confrontation in the pass with the bandits who've strangled trade in Peltarch. Supposedly the confrontation left two bandits and two caravan guards dead, and one adventurer badly injured.

    Roslyn Underhill, Mialee Meliamne, and Feel at Meliamne were later seen delivering casualties to Peltarch City Hall for reasons unknown.



  • MURDER AT THE GARDEN!!!

    —It was at dawn –a commoner at the tavern says.
    —No, t'was ald'ry sunlight in tah morning! —a drunkard rebukes.
    —Stop pestering me! I know it right, I’m in my five senses!

    The rumor spreads all around the city even with some delay as the murder of none less than Elisa a member of the nobility occurred weeks ago at Ashlad Park, Peltarch’s garden. It seems to be that the noble woman Aino, someone who knew the victim in a very close way, is involved, as well death magic.

    "I went for some flowers and I saw Aino pointing her finger at a dead Elisa. Murderous drama-queens", words of Moody, the magic mimic-bard of Peltarch, are quoted from mouth to mouth as it seems dead awaits even in beautiful and peaceful places now.

    It is said that screams of "Murder" shouted in her best bardic shrillness woke up children that morning. A morning the nobility will never forget.

    People is quick to point out Moody as the first witness of the murderous event, as well a hooded man who seemed to be her escort, Kamatochi or Tamagochi, the name, slippery itself, is heard here and there in every tavern of the city.

    What seemed to be the beginning of a picnic of joy, ended in a picnic of blood.



  • Seems that things are getting worse, some of the merchants have stopped selling their wares and the food at the inn is running thin. Drinks however, are being supplied still by unknown sources.
    Merchants talk about it all day, and some are seen entering the city hall to complain about the situation to the authorities.



  • Word is passed to the resident and adventurer based elves within Norwick, Hen wish's to address the elven community to see if they are as willing as she is to set a solid path to the future for the Shesae en' i'Seldarine. Elves who are perhaps hesitant towards the past actions of Corans and the Shesae name are encouraged to come and listen to see if they may find their faith restored in the community. Those whom wish to hear Hen out are encouraged to come to the Pixie Roost, any who are not keen to its location are told to seek out Hen personally for instruction and escort. Those whom do not wish to travel alone to the location are encouraged to see the help of their fellow brothers and sisters.

    (( Plan to make the meeting for Saturday evening EST (-5), I wont set a specific time however I can tell you It will be held at least between the times of 15:00 - 22:00 EST, I am aware this is a VERY wide time range however I can not be any more specific based on my work time and the times others may be available sorry for the inconvenience. ))



  • The rumour spreads once again that bandits are being spotted in the pass. Some swear they are the old Nars bandit that have come back to claim what's theirs, others say they are Sharrans, others just think is a prank.

    Whatever the case, what is true is that the caravans have been having trouble arriving to Peltarch, and that in some cases they didn't arrive at all….



  • Seen & heard around the Dancing Mermaid

    The Rashemi warrioress Sapeh Madurni has practically been living by the bar (and the bottle) of late. She's quick to spout a tall tale about facing down demons or giants or dragons or undead or any one of a number of other things to anyone within earshot. Weirdly, a small pixie is almost always there to back up or even correct such tall tales.



  • Rumors of dangerous undead:

    Cerulean Knight Shesarai warned patrons at the Mermaid that she recently encountered a wraith in the woods north of the Witch and Seer Tavern. She was able to dispatch it using a Searing Light spell. A quick search of all the woods north of the crossroads revealed only the usual slow zombies. Nonetheless, she urged great caution to those traveling south. The wooded path is not necessarily the safest any more.

  • Rumors of pirates on the water route to/from Norwick spread.

    Watch out fer the dread pirate, Sally Jones, and her scurvy crew - including a huge Minotaur who may or may not have sunk to the bottom of the river when he fell in.

    Her ship sustained heavy damage in its latest attack, but it still sails.

    Beware of the fog…


  • The Halfling Defence League

    Rumors in Peltarch swirl that a group of adventurers encountered a powerful tomb-raiding vampire in the crypts beneath the city. Word is that a group consisting of Sapeh Madurni, Tanya Spear, Rolee Halenfook, and the Paladin of Horus-Re, Shadya of Skuld, tracked the vampire into the old Bravickus family tomb, where she had set up her lair.

    The group is said to have fought a difficult battle against their wily foe, with Tanya successfully forming a plan to lure the creature out for the group to fight until Sapeh was able to knock her on her back for Shadya to stake, all while Rolee kept the group standing!



  • _"MURDER AT THE THEATRE!"

    No, it isn't the name of the Bardic College's new play, but raw and gruesome reality as no less than five bodies are carted out of the blood-stained establishment. The culprit, shocked rumours say, is a young nobleman of the ill reputed Whitedune house, the sister of whom was struck with the full anger of the mob for yet another murder discovered out in the city itself. Karla Whitedune took the brunt of the crimes of her family and was found lynched outside the Whitedune estate, the Guard striking down hard on the jeering mob.

    There's also murmurs of strange and disturbing monsters appearing near the city walls, keeping the Cerulean Knights on their toes, and vague rumours of a prison break - all within the same day, if not the same hour_



  • Rumor has it the Ferret is looking for people with healing capabiltiies and maybe a bard or two to help with an upcomming event..

    Applicants should apply within the ferret and ask for Drelan.



  • An male Elf shares tales of Zhentarim looking for a foothold near Peltarch, in nonchalant conversational tones he tells a brief and bloody story of Dwarven thugs and a spellbound Captain who tried and failed to talk his way out of a sobering demise.



  • The city is abuzz over the events of the past few nights, Ceruleans and other Defenders are on high alert. Guard patrols are more frequent throughout the Market quarter. Rumor throughout town suggests there was a woman afflicted by some flesh-eating poison; others state that there's some plague or virus that turns flesh to crumbling mummy dust but leaves the innards juicy - though that rumor seems to be less prevalent due to the soothsaying of a certain bard. The ground underfoot in the commons is muddy and slick, and a strong alchemical smell has been known to assault the senses of those who spend too long lingering in the area.



  • @efaab67e0d=Wywernywin:

    There's rumors about Old Lord Skull offering kegs upon kegs of free ale to people in the market square few days back. Apparently he held a speech about the return of Myrkul, after which the moon was covered in clouds and blood started to rain down on the shocked spectators.

    After the incident Hen asked the perimeter wall guard if they perhaps saw anything 'To large to be a bird' flying out from the City air space. As well as informing the Triad Temple and Captain of the guard of the events giving an accurate depiction of the events. Old Skull claiming to be Myrkul and tricking the common populace into a panic and reverence over his rain of Blood. She is quick to question the legality and moral obligations of the event.

  • Tongues are sure to wag about the arrest of the charming socialite Margueritte de Plousse, following an incident at the Amethyst Festhall celebrating the city's adventurers. Though details are likely scarce, confused partygoers may mention waking up on the cold stone floor after a sudden bout of drowsiness. Some might recall a similar incident at the ill reputed Hemway masquerade, so many moons ago, though surely the Hemways had nothing to do with it 'this' time. They weren't even there, were they?
