Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
Word spreads that spiders have been seen scurrying about the walls of Oscura, many migrating from the surface to the dark regions of the city. One citizen would have been lost to their venemous bites if not for the healer in the docks region. All citizens are encouraged to keep an eye out for such creatures and report it to the Skull Krushers.
-
SkullCrushers are seen out in larger numbers recently due to reported spider attacks. The spiders seem to drop down from the cavern ceiling in numbers to try to overwelm citizens. One Oscura Guard and one SkullCrusher have died defending the city.

people speak of the soul well reacting oddly when the wizard Chaevre' Vaelen and the Bard Mirkali were studying it, Mirkali had Chaevre' use her magics to protect his mind so that he could divine the well, Chaevre' was however unprotected, she stood dangerously close to the edge of the well and even reached into it briefly, when she withdrew her hand she turned her gaze upon Mirkali and immediate set upon him with her great axe, Mirkali was lucky to escape into the nars under a haste spell. When asked about it Chaevre' merely states that "it seemed like the right thing to do at the time", witnesses think she may have been possessed, some say that the well has made her go insane, others simply say nothing but "i told you so".
-
Corde is seen often near the soul well, praying before it or studying it, seeming to bask within the agony and emotions of loss teeming from it. When asked what he is doing he points out that there are few mysteries, secrets, within narfell as great as this Well that feeds off the losses that cause the agony and pain of these wretched souls. For that, he is interested and curious, and seeks to better understand it and feel the pain of all those it pulls

Keira approaches Zach, enquiring when he would be able to get hold of some more dyes. Her mottled grey and white clothing apparently needs some of the cloth areas dyed white to provide better concealment in the snows of the Nars Pass

The purple and black robed, cowled figure sat comfortably in a lurking shadow of the Oscuran town square. Chatting quietly with his companion, a green clothed hissing fellow, masked as well. They continue there quiet converse 'till Nichal, the diseased, soar-filled brown haired man approaches them with a small giggle escaping his rashed lips.
"Wow," he giggles, "never seen so many people around before."
The dark robed man shifts his cowl towards him, perhaps if he ignored him the rotting excuse for a human being would leave. "Back off, wretch. I want none of your sickness" The green clothed man hisses a chuckle.
"Oh no," Nichal scratches a rash on his neck, "No no, if you listen you can get informaaa-tion." He grins a touch manicly, still rubbing viciously against his neck with his nails.
The green clothed man querries snakishly, "What sssort of informationss?" The dark robed man considers briefly, before a sound finally escapes his purple cowl: "I'm listening."
The sickly human giggles again, eyes wide, grinning. "Oooh, so -now- your interested, hmmm? Follow! Yes, follow me come along and I'll show you."
Rising without a sound, the dark figure follows shadily alongside the serpentine-like one. They follow Nichal to a darker corner of town, curious as to where the pathetic thing would lead them.
…
An hour passes, they return to the square. This time with an eye out for the Black Lotus Brotherhood. Rumor has it the shadowy purple clothed figure, named Von Du'Sharr, is seeking an audience with the Lotuses, as well as the snakish human, only calling himself Waldo.
-
Rumor has it that Zach from the store in front of the Banshee's Delight is offering to dye clothes and armor to anyone who presents the rag for incredibly reasonable prices.

People have been reporting someone or something casting darkness on them. No one has been hurt or injured from these as of yet, and no one knows what the possible intent of such attacks are for.
-
With each day a few new stragglers reach the city. Some appear to be the usual refugees looking for a new home. Yet, others look to be well to do merchants looking for a new outpost. It seems word is traveling and those that managed to flee Arnath alive are coming to their new home.
-
_Gorgus the Rothe Keeper was in a fuss the other day. It seems two of his rothe, Pinky and Brain, ran off on him. They ran out the gate before the guards could do anything.
Later, Gorgus ran into two dwarves of the Dolvak Clan who pointed him in the direction of the fleeing rothe. With their help Gorgus was able to recover the beasts._
-
_Rumors spread of the demise of the vampire that had been living in the Chasm with its horde of undead. It is said a different vampire helped in the slaying of its former master. A relative calm spreads over the city at the news and people sleep much easier.
On another note, it is noticed that the rat population in the city has declined_
-
Hushed whispers speak of undead in the tunnels leading to the new city of Oscura. It is said that they are lead by a Vampire. Citizens of the Forgotten City go to bed at night with scarves around their necks and cloves of garlic under their pillows.
-
_Word spreads of the arrival of a hooded man in red armor with Scyth Dracanor. Taking the oath after much debate, he declares himself as Vashere to those who ask.
Silently he wanders the city observing and becoming accustomed to it before leaving through the gates and battling his way to the surface. He is then seen again on occasion within the city as well_
-
Some people speak of a hooded mage, who used to walk in Arnath long ago, has returned. Carrying various possessions of the mage, an imp is seen flying along side the mage. Those who knew him from many years ago talk of the Thayan necromancer who conducted experiments on many subjects. Both living and dead, in an effort to create a superior being, and some speak of rumors of him trying to prolong his own life. He seems to be quiet and to himself for the most part. Rather to stay tied up in his studies than conversation. Some that have seen him casting spells and talk of shadowy arcs of energy flowing over his form.
-
_A silent figure has been seen frequently at the tavern, huddled in a warm corner, away from the oily lamp light. His cold green gaze stares out from the comforting darkness, unwavering, unblinking, and with ferocious intensity. Only his arm moves as he brings a thin elven pipe to his lips, sending white gusts into the perpetual gloom that surrounds him.
The darkness embraces and conceals him like a protective mother would a child, ready to spring out with terrible violence at anyone who dares approach.
In that lonely corner sits fire and shadow, blood and steel, madness and magic._
-
Ever since Arar has gone missing, and a rumor of the child being probably dead, Gildor has not been seen in Arnath.
Some of those that never quite liked the elf whisper that she clearly only stayed in Arnath because of Arar, others that never had any opinions of her, says that it is the shock of the loss of her son, and lover that has caused her to return to the surface.

Rumors finnaly make their way into the city that Amerien has not been seen inside the city in months and noone knows exactly what he has been doing…

Anyone who visits the Barony will notice that Haas hasn't been around in awhile. His drinking partner Hagus seems worried.
-
A drunken Haas was seen approaching Shai in the tavern and commenting on the rumor. Accounts very as to what happened next but he was later found bloody and unconcious behind the tavern.
