::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Gildor while at the Ferret presses her hands on to the small of her back and stretches. She picks up the damp cloth up from the bar-counter and folds it twice.
"…three times..."
She murmurs to herself, peering lost in thought in to air.
"…bloody 'ell"
Then she gives a shudder of disgust and goes back to cleaning the desk.
-
Stories spread of a Minotaur escaping the fighting pit in the Ferret and rampaging thorugh the spectators. Some say Senator Rath Ashald faced the beast personally and bested it but was sorely wonded and had to be tended to three times by a campanion in one of the Ferret's back rooms. Others say Rath was lucky Anakore, his knights and Talgrath were there.
-
Rumor has it that Senator Black has been gathering around him a small group of what he is calling his personal guard. He has been speaking to a few people around town and in particular he's been seen talking to a few ex-Black Dragon Knights. He's also been paying attention to the different factions in the Defenders and meeting with several of the leaders who have distinguished themselves.

While wondering through Peltarch asking everybody she meets if they have seen or heard anything on Zanetar, Nicahh stumbles upon Gildor, hoping she can help. Seeing Gildor impersonating a tree, Nicahh decides to help the deranged elf instead. Leaving Peltarch for a few hours she comes back holding two small apple tree branches. Sliding them up Gildor's sleeve she smiles at the elf as she places apples around her feet. Nudging Locrian she points to Gildor:
See, you complain I never do anything to help anybody. I helped her.
Snickering to herself, she wonders off, still asking around about her missing Zanetar.
Daria Arndon - A sweet little bard.
Fadien Blackwood - Baby sister of the Blackwood Family
Nicahh - Deserted!
-
Evendur has been frequently seen about the city in the company of a Peltarch Defender wearing a purple sash on his belt. Rumors place the soldier's name as Danerk, and he apparently serves some sort of bodyguard role.
-
Nate sees Gildor as he passes by, taking a bite from an apple. He chuckles and swallows after a few quiet chews.
"Keep up the good work!"
He calls with an amused smile before taking another bite and walking off chuckling lightly.
-
_Gildor has recently been seen all around town, impersonating a tree.
Many suspect that the madness of the elf has reached new heights, as she is often seen standing in Rath's park or the commons, with her arms stretched out and fingers spread, swaying left and right, while occasionally going "tweek tweek" and " rustle rustle " and even a long deep "oooooooooo" throat sounds._
-
_Word goes around that a mage of great power appeared in the commons recently, shouting incoherently about Keram and old promises. Keram and Roland both attempted to fight him off, but seemed powerless against his magics. The mage disappeared before more guards could arrive.
Rumours also fly about the recent murder of Wavebreaker guildmaster Silas Hildebrand. Captain Dunderstone was seen in the commons looking for information and fuming about the chaos in the docks._
-
_There have been reports of a series of standoffs taking place in the Peltarch commons not long ago.
The first was apparently between Senator Evendur Mildsilver, flanked by Anakore, Kalina, and Nate of the Cerulean Knights, and a group of armed mercenaries who were initially unresponsive to his requests that they lower their weapons. A woman, who seemed to be with them, eventually acquiesced to the Senator's firm demands.
Another standoff supposedly came between Senators Mildsilver and Brynmor and a group of Defenders who had refused to assist Senator Mildsilver in the previous situation. Rumors abound of startling insubordination by the Defenders. The situation appeared to be defused, however, when a higher-ranking officer showed up and the rebel Defenders departed. The officer left the commons in the company of both Senators._

A clean and washed off Nate chuckles, rolling his eyes over at Zyph's comment, sitting on the bench's and washing off his still charred armor with a wet rag.
-
Zyphlin hears the rumors and gives a small little chuckle
How many powder kegs does it take to finally silence a bard? Apparently more then 10
He smirks a bit as he heads off musing at the horrible joke and rubbing the burn mark still on his neck

<vino>citizens report a strange earthquake which shakes a number of buildings in the dock, there are also complaints of smoke rising from the sewer grates for a couple of hours after
Some blame wizards but most blame bards.</vino>
-
Anna Sigerlson can be seen often running about town with the Paladin Mariston Thel laughing and joking and stealing kisses when no one is looking or they think no one is looking. She is also seen walking with Alice Marrian from school on occasion and reviewing her lessons with her.
She seems happier than many have seen her in years. She can often be seen headed south to visit with Vashere and minister to the spiritual needs of his troops in honor of the Red Lady.
-
Syne has been mostly out of the public eye. He is seen infrequently at the Mermaid and the Ferret, enjoying a quiet drink and a smoke. He has settled back into the position of "backbone" Senator, doing all the paperwork and day to day negotiations that some of the other senators are loathe to do.
-
Dang can be seen out and about being very polite to the passing commoner, who usualy recalls the stories they have heard about him torturing and murdering several children and young women around the city. The old records of his deeds appeared to have been burned away. Many dislike this. He thinks it's "cool".
-
Nico has been seen in the company of a large half-orc lately. Appearantly he has a new bodyguard. Rumor has it that he paid for the bodyguard to move into the city and keeps him close at hand. Nico seems to be a slight bit more relaxed these days and has been spending a lot of time with Yolande lately.
-
Luitenant Senella is apparantly spending alot of time going to and fro between the Cerulean HQ, the College and City Hall, usually assisted by various youngsters from the College carrying books and parchments for her. What she is doing is anyone's guess, but the main trait these three places seem to share is their Libraries.
-
Alice Marrian's schooling appears to be going very well. Her teacher is impressed with the young woman's quick mind. Alice has also taken an interest in learning about the Red Knight, studying about the goddess of strategy in her spare time. While she has been seen talking to others, Alice appears to still be painfully shy, and especially fearful of large men.
-
Evendur has been seen more frequently than usual around the docks district. Word has it that he has been making some kind of subtle inquiry, but its nature is utterly unknown to the masses. If for some reason he is questioned about this behavior, he makes use of his senatorial prerogative in refusing to respond with anything more than vague platitudes.
