::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::


  • Nate makes a point to speak to senator black about Sierra's arrest.

  • Peltarch Far Scouts

    It is said that Sierra sits at the back of her cell, switching between periods of crying and yelling "I didn't do anything!", and simply quietly huddling herself in the corner. She seems to be taking no food or drink while she is staying in the jail, and it's up for chance whether she'll die first by execution or starving to death.


  • In response to the tensions down the docks Deacon can be heard saying:

    "Been sayin' ya lot this fer ever"..
    "Now it finally comin' ta 'n burst"

    He snickers

    "Dey even try ta kill me fer walkin' about, idjits. If'n de law cinnae handle this ah will."


  • Word spreads that citizens picknicking in the nars saw Magistrate Zyphlin running through the nars at top speed, routinely saying "BAD KITTY" and "No, keep your claws to yourself" and a few "Down Pussy! DOWN" as ran, while being persuded by a rather large black and red panther. Once arriving in the city he turned on it, using his blades to keep its mouth and paws from him and having the guards attack. However it seemed the only things truly doing significant damage to the beast was his small golden dagger, rumored to be blessed by Tymora and that was the only reason. Either way the magistrate with the guards help turned the cat away as it fled back down the nars. The magistrate was then seen running straight through the city into Daisy's temple, not emerging for a few hours afterwards

  • T

    An assassin attempted to kill Senator Black in full public view it the Mermaid Inn. Although badly wounded he survived and slew his assailent with the aid of Lt. Azrael. The guard have arrested Sierra in relation to the attack.

  • T

    Attacks on people walking through the docks continue the thugs demanding to knwo who the Mockingbird is. Tensions in the city begin to rise as people speculate on who ordered them.


  • Zanetar scoffs upon hearing the rumor.

    "They have to be tried first. No one's proven them guilty."


  • Zyphlin announces and spreads the following information through the guards and commons

    The man known as Arthro, cleric of Malar, is to be arrested and brought in for questioning upon sight within Peltarch lands for attempted Assassination of the Magistrate. This man is to be considered extremely dangerous so please proceed with caution.

    The following people are also to be brought into the city and arrested immedietly for conspiring to murder the magistrate:

    Rolan
    Mavado

    Quick sketches of each are given including descpritions of their armor

    Let it be known that these three banitse have worked with this man Arthro to attempt to deliver myself to him but thier attempt was thrawted. Let it also be known that in return for this aid they had arranged that this man, Arhtro, would aid the entire banite church, led by the man Zanetar, of peltarch with a favor. However, since it is only these three that were present at the conspiriter meeting, it is only they who are arrested. However, I urge all citizens to be vigilent around the others, lest this conspiracy go deeper within thier church.


  • Upon hearing about this Defender incident, Talgrath is heard to be outraged, even more then usual. He's been heard angrily remarking that the senate needs to stop "wasting time" and elect a new general of the Defenders.


  • It's pretty common knowledge that Captain Anakore of the Cerulean Knights is no longer engaged to the girl Kaona of the Gypsy Camp. He seems pretty happy about the current state of affairs, spending a lot of time tutoring his five year old son, Nickolai. When not in the company of the Knights or of his son he is most often seen alongside the Warrioress Shemaright, the bard Evelyth or the recently accepted Cerulean Knight and merchant, Chaevre. Whatever the nature of his relationship with these women is is anyone's guess.

  • S

    Near the docks, Defenders wearing red sashes are seen fighting several other soldiers. Victorious, they go to dump the bodies of the "traitors" in the lake. They ignore demands for an explanation from a furious Senator Brynmor and quickly disappear.

  • DM

    Rumours fly around the docks and areas deacon frequents about the badly shredded ship of his that limped into dock, withno apparent explanation on how it left there in the first place.

    Deacon was seen to be hopping mad, and work has already started to repair the damaged vessel and bail the water out that is causing a listing to one side though tied up well in the harbour.

    The temporaray repairs by someone are making for amusement in the docks amongst the other captains, as it appears the temporary shoring up was done by someone with the dexterity and skill of a half comatose orc.

    Kobold corpses were seen dumped off the side of the vessel and a strange badly made ballista is now seen on the prow of Deacons vessel.

    Estimates around th docks, goes about 4 tendays until repairs are complete, and the workers are drinking heavily celebrating the rich wages paid to them.

    _Notes appear tacked to buildings of Peltarch after the cover of night, bearing the following poem.

    To the Silencer Albatross

    Violent and angry arms sent out
    Into the still and quiet night
    Breaking the wings of singing
    Soaring songbirds in mid flight

    What end is sought by breaking
    These innocent songbirds’ wings
    What benefit does the guilty
    Hunter of birds hope to bring

    Anger at what thought a silly jest
    But perhaps instead accidental truth
    Hath it the silly song’s red faced
    Targets deep goblets of vermouth

    Stop your songbird silencing
    And call back your hunters I say
    Save your wounded pride
    Your anger and go another way

    If songbirds continue to cease
    Flying the skies of the streets
    The people will know you well
    As the songbird killer come to greet

    Protect your proud self to prey
    Of songbirds words what may be a lie
    Follow you this advice my hunter
    Or all shall believe true what you deny
    From the Mockingbird_


  • Eowiel begins wandering the Docks District, wearing her full Jester's Costume, with wildly over the top bright multi-coloured material, curly boots and a hat with jangling bells, which ring merrily as she wanders randomly through the district, playing a flute now and then. Clearly, many would note, the rumours of people out to get bards and the subsequent rise in the numbers of bards travelling alone in the Docks proves once again that Bards have utterly no logic or sense in them at all.


  • Nate also enters the docks more often after hearing these rumours, muttering something about "I told them so…" and something else about guards. His hand rests casually on his mace, donned in his fullplate. He smiles friendly to a passing commoners each night as he makes his way to the docks.


  • Zyph has been seeing traveling the docks much more recently, singing happily, including at night. Those that see him say he looks good natured, but has a strange dangerous look into his ice blue eyes.

  • T

    Bards entering the docks disctict are now frequently attacked by thugs and given serious beatings, one of the theater's younger students disapears compleatly. Those beaten claim they were asked for the name of 'the elf'.

  • G

    Nico hears the song on a walk past Bard Street and stands in the darkness between two buildings listening. He just shakes his head and moves on along his route after the bard passes.


  • Chaevre' hears the song and cant help but burst out laughing for a few moments before returning her composier

  • T

    _A new song is distributed amonsts the streets of peltarch during the night, seeming to feature a pair of Peltarch's most prominent citizens.
