Whispers at the Fire
-
Rumours circulate, as rumours tend to do, about an array of individuals going down into the Well, once again. Amongst the well-spelunkers was the once-resident, Tymoran gambler, Tyche, and a young, elven girl, Aurelia. A cowled halfing, her face covered, also dived headlong into the Well, before the two aforementioned people climbed down, using a rope that was tied to a tree and had been there before their arrival. Prior to them arriving, a group of people including a bardic lady in a cowboy hat, Sierra, the infamous Kara Du'Monte, her constant attachment, Zoma, the once-resident redhead, Mel, and a Spellweaver Mage, Merrick were probably the ones responsible for that rope. When, where and if any of them appeared afterward is a bit vague and hazy. Some do report seeing the cowboy bard dragging the then-unconscious, bloodied and moaning gambler into town, accompanied by the Spellweaver mage whose clothes were tattered and in ruins. Once more, the Norwick Well is the center of a mysterious and strange series of events—folk do not, in fact, seem amazingly shocked or surprised by this.

@e0510cd779=Shadow_Dragon:
Some time after descending into the well to try and find and stop the source of the Wild Magic, Talgrath was seen stumbling from the southern part of town, looking very tired. He headed north for Peltarch.
A few moments later, Kara followed from Fine's field and moved into the center of town with a slight spring in her step, even if she is seen adjusting the full plate regularly that she claims to be 'too bulky and restrictive' . If anything, she appears to be even fitter than her previous state. She's seen leaving the gates and returning to Jiyyd.

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

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.

When confronted with these rumours Deacon attempts to deny everything of the happening, trying to switch subjects or simply walking away.
