Whispers at the Fire
-
Orc Man, Kara, Shae and Devath returned from the Rawlinswood, battered and exhausted. They speak of crystals, and how Devath and Orc Man went out to find the reason all the animals had their spirits ripped from them, leaving a trail of corpses. They found their way to a clearing, where several crystals were singing. After a bit of fumbling, Devath tried to smash the crystal with his axe, after which a portal opened and a shadow came out, stalking Orc Man and Devath to the edge of the town, where he began to strangle the Shaman. The shadow stalker was eventually scared off when Kara and Shae arrived, and the four headed out to investigate the crystals further. The Stalker once again grappled Devath, while Orc Man found his strength drained by the crystal he was trying to smash. Shae and Kara were swarmed by many imp-like creatures. The ground shook and the crystal itself seemed to fight back. Devath eventually managed to destroy the stalker, after which the imp-like swarmers fled back into the crystal, and the crystal itself dissappeared into the ground.

The veteran Peltarch Defender Talgrath has been seen wandering around Norwick for the first time in quite some time. He was looking for information about the crystals.
-
Rumor has it that one of the Eastlander ladies has been asking for a few gold for safe passage through the Nars Pass.

According to rumour, while the Shieldmeet Celebration at the shrine to Kelemvor was a big success, shortly afterwords chaos broke lose. Rumour speaks of an undead assault upon the shrine which was fought off by the Kelemvorites and their allies, as well as some remaining celebration-goers. Then, rumours get odder…with rumours of a cat dying and somehow creating a curse and rising as undead bigger and nastier at the same time too.
-
The hunks of meat and bone that were strewn about the entrance to the druid glenn in the rawlins have disappeared, and a line of smoke rose from the trees for several hours. A young blood-soaked and soot-covered druid stalked through the town muttering what could only be curses to himself in a strange language before walking north into the nars

Cyrian has the graffiti cleaned off the walls and asks for anyone who witnessed the defacement to report it to the militia

On the walls of one of the houses, something had been scribbled with charcoal overnight.
"Beware the Coming of Eternity's End"

A rather grimfaced gnome from the Rom encampment (he will give his name as Valmont) seeks witnesses to the attack to interview.
A gnome named Roili Nack who helped fight off the undead, hearing of this, seeks him out, wanting to answer his questions to the best of his ability.

Undead attacked the temple of Kelemnvor, spreading out towards Norwick. Fortunatly, they were defeated after a long and tedious battle by a group of adventurers, including the paladins Belade and Arthus, a gnome mage and others, including a man who kept shouting "I spent five years in prison, and this is the welcome back I get?!".
-
Word has been spreading about a bloody desecration to the entrance of the Druid's Grove in the eastern Rawlinswood. Those who have been in the area claim that large chunks of, what appear to be, dinosaur flesh has been splatter all around the entrance leaving a scene of carnage for those who wish to enter the grove. The head of the beast was also nearby, and those who witness it, can see that the large beast was shown no mercy when slaughtered.
-
When Tindra hears rumors of the strange circle, she begins to try to find any and all who have seen and badgers the witnesses to give her more detail.
-
A group of people, including the paladins Belade Galadon and Kara Du'monte stumbled upon the circle, and it appeared to them that they managed to remove it.
//there was no dm on at the time, and since we did everything we could do to remove it…we just rp'd that it worked.
-
There are rumours of a strange witchcraft in the Rawlinswood east of Norwick. People talk of a glowing red magic circle with a pentagram in the middle. Those who know it's purpose have been silent so far.
-
// Hahaha, damn you.
IC:
When confronted with these rumours Deacon attempts to deny everything of the happening, trying to switch subjects or simply walking away.

An orange bard man in a bright red cloak was seen talking with a dark clothed, one-eyed sailor type last night throughout the town. Many recognised the two as Nathen Wingates and Deacon Sterr of Peltarch. They were heard chatting by the sundial:
Nathen Wingates: Deacon!
Deacon Sterr: Aye?
Nathen Wingates: Deacerino…::Chuckles::
Deacon Sterr: Aye?
Nathen Wingates: Ehhh!
Deacon Sterr: Ehh? Aye.
Nathen Wingates: Deaceraenus
Deacon Sterr: Nateraaaa! ... Aye.
Nathen Wingates: Ehhh.
Deacon Sterr: Aye? Ehh. Aye.Rumours circulate how they were following Frago about the town, and the converse was just as equally interesting. Both men had stupid, blank grins on there faces. Most say it went something like this:
Nathen Wingates: Gnoooome.
Deacon Sterr: Gnome.
Nathen Wingates: ::Chuckles:: Gnooooome.
Deacon Sterr: Gnooooome.
Nathen Wingates: Gnoooome._Some claim they were caught off guard by undead eastlander preists and had their minds cursed into oblivion, others claim that "All city folk are that way," while most just say they're both idiots. They were also seen pesturing Aleum if spellweaver, many more groaned "Gnome" comments were heard. Aleum was seen muttering about humans.
Shortly after, both were seen creeping about the tavern, people wonder why:_
Nathen Wingates: Driiiink.
Deacon Sterr: Drink.
Nathen Wingates: Ehh!
Deacon Sterr: Ehh? Aye. Ehh!
Nathen Wingates: Gnoo- Err, Driiiink.
Deacon Sterr: ::Chuckles stupidly:: Ehh!
Nathen Wingates: EHH?
Deacon Sterr: Aye.Before they could attract too much of a crowd, they were taken to the friar's and releaved of whatever magic was ailing them. Nathen Wingates spent the night recovering at the boarshed inn.

tala speaks around the fires to her friends of the hundreds and hundreds of bugbear that attacked the gate. She speaks of the valiant efforts of the defenders. Further she speaks about the low town casualties and the eventual withdrawl of the bugbears back to their warrens.
Hopefully they'll be peaceful for a bit now.

A white-haired man with a near unintelligible dialect of common has been seen about Norwick looking for Yolanda ("Y'know what is one of them Spellkeepers and the like, say she gots that blonde hair and so forth"). Apparently the man lives up near Peltarch but is looking to possibly join some sort of guard that is forming ("Gettin tired of fightin off them never-ending Menacers what the town of Peltarch don't even mind em it seems… Old Hjoichi mayhaps needs a bit of a change, see, some other thing and fightin for some what care for what uses he gots I reckon.")
The fellow, though old, is not ancient. He's in good shape, represents well on his long bow and fairly well up close with a rapier and a handaxe. At the recent bugbear raid at the southgate he was seen to apply bandages with skill and hold the line with patience. His ability to hear the sounds about the woodlands more than once presented a quite accurate picture of the forces arrayed beyond the gates.

:: a small number of men and women in large stag-horned helms are seen out and about seeking this white ghost deer, referring to her reverently as "The G'Boo" or, if pressed, The Good Cariboo. ::
