Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
Scott seeks someone capable of lifting a curse from an object. Anyone that may be of use should come find him
-
Rumors spread from a party just arriving back from the underdark. Something beyond deadly lurks near the skindancers and the party had to retreat....almost losing a member.
-
By now, few could have missed the gruesome rumours - on at least three separate occasions, townspeople have literally burst apart in the middle of the Commons, showering the area in blood, gore and some strange dark fluid. What the cause of these horrendous incidents may be is a subject of much speculation - some tie the events to reports of vile undead rising, while others speak of some unknown malady with symptoms as mild as a stomach ache, nausea or fever. Those inclined for better safe than sorry reasoning may well jump at the opportunity of visiting Dolor's temporary clinic.

Dolor Patiens, humble servant of Ilmater, has set up a temporary clinic in the docks for all who are unable to afford temple services. Anyone feeling unless is encouraged to come for a check up.

A sudden fire that left the inside of one of the residential apartments a complete mess has become a hot rumor in the area. The current renter being of the magical variety has led to many assuming something went wrong in some dark and potentially dubious spell... or he just threw a fireball at something... or something else. But stranger rumors suggest that a very colorful man and his halfling sidekick ventured into the apartment before it was set ablaze. And strangely, never came out.
And yet, rumor has it not a body was found inside. How odd.

Lately people have begun to go missing, with no real connection between any of those who have vanished into thin air. Men, women, children, the elderly, the occasional military man, even a baker. Nobody is quite sure where they went, or where in the city they were even taken, with those as far as the farmlands reporting the occasional missing person. And weirder yet, some people speak of skin being found. Human skin.

Amidst other more or less wide-spread rumours, one makes mention of a peculiar device placed inexplicably at the commons by (of course) a gnome. Said device was then fiddled with by (of course) a bard, resulting in a localized implosion, sucking everyone in the vicinity in and off to parts unknown! The party, which included princess Fisher herself, returned with sluggish steps some hours later, absolutely covered in blood, soot and the remains of some strange luminescent goo.

Some really bored commoners discuss today about how a bird was left in the middle of the commerce district by a Cerulean, who claimed very strongly that it was not in fact used for spying. This bird used for spying existed for about a few hours, before someone literally melted it with acid. The Cerulean put a bounty on the head of whoever did it, offering 100,000,000 before City Hall had to step in and remind him that they can't pay that much. And also don't particularly care.

Rumors spread that Lady Varya has been seen out of armor for the last few days ago since the fabled trip of her and others defeating a Balor in the lost city. Those who heard specifics may have also heard that both she and Jonni had fallen that day.
When people ask her about it, she politely dismisses it as nothing and that the greater good won that day, claiming she's thankful Chauntea allowed her to return.
-
The latest rumor comes after City Hall was briefly locked down due to a fire. The official word is it was an accident, but rumor has it that in the middle of a busy day it was lit ablaze by some stranger. Many books were damaged, but most of the library was salvaged thanks to the aid of some guards, some of who were forced to go to the temple with severe burns, and adventurers.
Why would someone light up the library? A hatred of books? Or maybe to cover their tracks? Every drunk has their opinion.

A few strange sights befell Peltarch recently, all in short succession.
Firstly it was said that a strange and foul sound, like a metallic guitar was heard from within the Feasthall. Guards attempted to enter but the door was eventually unlocked by a one armed elf. Rumours state that sounds of battle were then heard from within. When the same adventurers left shortly after, the hall appeared to have been flooded.
Moments later, reports are heard of damage to the Peltarch theatres stage however none were seen in the ruins of the stage, chairs and benches all laid destroyed.
Then strangest of all, it is heard a portal had opened in the commons and undead poured through before the mighty hero's of Peltarch entered themselves, returning shortly after.
A strange day!

Rumours speak of the return to Narfell (and indeed Toril itself) of the fabled Star Harpy, a spelljammer known to make sporadic visits to the area and at times offer employment and the chance to travel the void to the bold and daring. This time, after the traditional crash landing, the Star Harpy took off with a small number of volunteers. The ship returned many days later, the adventurer ranks now bolstered by several thin and ragged looking individuals of various races - elves, humans, dwarves and even orcs. Upon landing, some found their own way while others gladly accepted the hospitality of the Bardic College, under Master Nate Wingates guardianship.

*Commoners strolling near the Peltarch Commons last night were astonished to see a giant cow walk into the center of town and then calmly stroll into the Commons itself. Shortly afterwards, it suddenly turned to stone. A Cerulean who was nearby cast Detect Magic and declared that it was Flesh to Stone spell. When elven elder Raryldor cast Stone to Flesh on it, it triggered a fireball spell, which blew the cow to smithereens and scattered raw meat all around the commons. A little later, a burning badger ran into town, and then blew up in the Commons, destroying most of the benches and scattering more raw meat. "What next?" someone was head to mutter. *

There seems to be talks of Lady Varya and the Dwarf Thorin working together of late, returning with frost-covered armor from the cold caves. Under the paladina's arm, the pelt of what looks like a juvenile-young adult white dragon looks to be carried under arm.
