Gypsy Gossip
-
A few representitives of the Legion greeted the campers one evening… As the Romani would overhear, a meeting will be taking place at the Legion Hall in Jiyyd within a weeks time, and the Gali Elders are to attend. Something to do with the Orcs and Undead? Time will tell...
-
Rumours of the eastlanders massing on the bridge in force at about the time of the landslide seem to point to the eastlanders getting restless again.
-
A massive landslide blocked the pass south from the camp in the Nars. The druid Oreth managed to shape a path through, though it drained him to the point of exhaustion. Rumours spread of how the landslide was caused, be it the Eastlanders up to no good, the Gnolls up to the very same, or simply a tremor?
-
after the very lovely wedding tala is seen talking heatedly with Arandor, Tindra and an elf that looks somewhat like Tala herself. A short while later harsh words are spoken and the king is seen dealing his justice on the elven woman. Rumors spread over what could have possibly happened. Why did the king raise his hand against the elf? What is it that has Arandor looking sad and preoccupied? For what reason is tala searching for a wood elf and why does she look ashamed every time she passes near horgan?
-
::Rumors of a beautiful spirit has been seen walking the Pass. Though she seems to be saddened by something. One of the gypsy camp children speaks of seeing a very pretty lady admiring a very shiney ring::
-
Tala has enquired about Katya's pet bagder and also her nephew Esther rumors fly as to why…
-
The minor tremors continue to rock the Gypsy Pass and Gypsy Camp… even going down into the Hidden Pass. Gnolls have also been sighted on the clifftops. They even had the AUDACITY to rope down and butcher a cow then drag it's carcass up the cliffface... all the while distracting the gali who were trying to shoot them from thier cliffledge hideaway! Beware of arrowshot near the cliff walls!
-
_A forboding gloom, darker than usual hung over the camp one night… Several Gali followed what they believed to be the spirit of Kovachi... Followed him to the ruins in the Gnoll lands... yet the Gnolls were nowhere to be found.
Days later, they return... There is a certain peace over the camp that has not been felt in some time. Whispers around the campfire speak of a good man, a son... lured by his father's word... betrayed by one of his own...
The spirit of the murdered son, Kovachi, is laid to rest after 1000 years... Reliving his cruel fate over and over again. The chest was returned to him, for only he would find it valuable. Letters from his father, perhaps all he had left...
Arandor is seen making use of what little peace they had achieved for a time, he spends it with his daughter, laughing and telling her stories. Those who know him best can see how much he worries for her, and of what the days to come shall bring..._
-
_Arandor returns from the woods, along with Sul'lina, Bow, and Penny. They are beaten and bruised, as is a usual occurance these days. Only difference this time is that they are soaking wet as well…
Whispers around the campfires speak of a ghostly woman wandering through the woods, strange runes, and even a mysterious underwater staircase in the cave of the Hidden Pass.
No one is sure what it is they have stumbled upon, but it is clear that is something that may help shed some light on the ancient Rom's curse._

((orc was a mis drop. Ignore the orc. OOC off))
::rumors start to spread of a ghostly figure of a man walking from the hidden pass. Down thru the gates to the camp. Seems to stop by the river on the way. Washing his face or maybe just having a drink of water. His path enters the gypsy path outer camp. He kneels by the main camp fire. Prays then walks off to the main camp area. Seems the gates and locks do not stop his progress. Eventually walks into the Gnolls woods. looks down into the cravasses to the cold caves. Rumors are high as to whether the ghostly figure is that of Romani or some other undead soul lost among the living. Some say he jumps into the cravass to commit suicide which is why he walks the lands. Other say he stops short of jumping in and just vanishes as sunrise approaches. Some even say that they have seen the cravass full of water and have seen the ghostly figure fall into the water as if pushed::
-
Rumor has it that Cave Spiders have been sighted in the pass, nearly killing a Gali or two. If these Cavers take up permanent residence, the pass will become a lot more dangerous, not to mention there's a threat to the camp itself then.. as if there weren't enough yet..
-
((as far as I know that orc was a misdrop
please ignore heh heh))
-
::A Black and red cat like creature was rumored to be seen at this great battle out in the fields trying to help keep the great ogres at bay… their was also A Horned hin seen running in and out of where the Ogres were camped goating them on and looting everything and everyone in sight... It is even mentioneed he looted one fallen in battle..... All Gaje hins walking through camp have been seen given the evil eye of late....
-
Devath is seen around the camp, spreading the same tale. He also mentions the mysterious appearance of an orc during the attack, which seemed to fight both the defenders and the ogres… Perhaps the orcs and ogres have a war of their own, who will say?
-
Murmurs across camp flow about the mighty battle at the gnoll bridge, many follow the words of Sy and Elrin, but some say otherwise.
Claims of hidden treasure an lost trader's gold circulate through camp. Whispers are heard that the story could just be a ruse to keep curious eyes out.
But truth or not, the gates have been replaced with mighty Cherry lumber.
Gossip now spreads that perhaps it wasn't a yaun-ti seen in camp, but Grag in woman's clothes.
-
_Word spreads of the battle that took place at the gates to the Giantspire Ruins… The Gate was broken down and a few Gali and some Gaje fought to keep the Ogres at bay.
Rumors run amok as to how the Ogres were able to attack in such force... a spy in our midst... sabotage? Some think that the Ogres were simply riled up by a group that ventured into the cold caves...
Either way, Arandor and Sy'wynn are seen advising the Gali to not let 'any' untrustworthy folk through our gates... And it is recommended that people stay out of the Ruins entirely.
Cotton works hard to rebuild the shattered gate... fashioning the boards from cherry wood to make it stronger than ever._
-
Nars Skald sets down by the fire and starts polishing an elven Longhorn he has in his pack.
"The trouble is just what Sy said it is. We are mixing the incidents and thinking them all one, or worse, taking isolated things and ignoring connections"
"Ghost stories? I have one. Cotton, Arthro, myself, and a few others went into the spider woods. Met undead by the fey cave. In exit we met a ghost or spirit. It looked gypsy. It lead us right back to camp where it prayed by the fire. Lipreading it I could see it was a simple prayer to Mystryl. Then it lead us into gnoll lands and down into the cold caves. Some of us followed willingly, others just fell into it."
shivers
"I ever mention I hate caves? Ah well. In we go and plow through the gnolls and down to the ogres. There it got worse. We lost track of the spirit, and the ogres started to organize. They were picking off our weaker people first, bypassing the front heavies."
shivers again
"2 berserkers took a liking to me and I damn near died. I barely get up when this red and black cat hits me, raking my ribs and giving me stripes of blood down my back. Then the damn thing went after the ogres. It lead us out clearing a path and gods help any ogre or gnoll that got in its way."
smiles softly
"Wierdest thing was when we got to the top the darn thing went where I asked it to. I pointed and it attacked. It 'looked' like what I have hear Malar Cats look like but this thing was helping us a lot. probably saved a few lives in the process. But then, right before the bridge a stray arrow of ours hit it on the flank as it finished off the last of the beasts between us and freedon. It struck back and then bounded off, leaving me, for one, thankfull . . . and confused."
Glances at the sky.
"Almost Dawn. I will tell you a bit more after I play the sun up"
he rises and faces east and waits patiently for sunrise

and a bunch of others

Oreth tells anyone who will listen that undead and umber hulks, presumably under the command of Sinti, have been seen excavating the fey caves, digging for something.
When interrupted, they get very angry. Obviously.
-
Sy'wynn and Arandor spread word around the camp… Everyone one must pay attention to any and all strange encounters.... Especially ghost stories. He makes it clear that time is running out and the camp cannot afford to overlook anything. The Gali are asked to speak with Arandor or Sy'wynn if they notice anything strange, no matter how insignifigant it may seem...
-
_Arandor nods his agreement with Sy'wynn's words… Whisps of smoke curling idly from his long-stemmed, wooden pipe as he smokes near the fires. He waits for Sy to finish before adding.
"Yes Sy, I believe that even now valuable clues have been missed or overlooked… All because of disagreement, and dissention among us. In this more than anything, we must all be of one mind. Lay your petty squabbles to rest, if you have them... There are more important matters to attend to. As for the box, I know only this... That the spirit of Kovachi may be able to aid us. As for the ring, I know very little... Yet be wary of Sinti and his agents, they must not recover these items. For if Ashkali's visions are true, it will be our downfall..."
He goes silent again and resumes his usual, casual, smoking. Losing himself in thought as he watches the dancing flames._
