Jiyyd Rumors
-
A wagon bearing bundled pieces of meat and large bear hides was seen being dragged up the near east road by Kara and then handed over at the gates to Wog and the guards where it was dragged into the meat stores for the town. There appears to have been at least half a dozen bears worth of meat, all salted and ready to wait out the winter until needed.

Vroka complains plenty about using up most of the stockpile of Hidden Pass fenberries that thanks to Tala and many others she was finally begginning to build up, to cure good 20-30 children who were rescued along with the strange one armed girl, Clover. Not to menion all the fenberry paste and juice she drained i into curing Clover of her remaining symptoms of Dreamstone Plague. Clover needed lmoast as many as all her little friends did combined. Vroka was glad to have a patien for once who treat herself with Restoration and Clarity for once atleast it saved scrolls but Clover more than ate her share of scrolls to make up for it whle In Vroka's care. Vroka was glad to have PRetty Magic Girl Cotherwise known as Cera Amalith, the strange girl's mother, to help tend the child. Vroka as evenhappier when Clover seeemd well enough to let go. . The almost 14 year old half-elven girl oddly seeemed to nearly regrow her arm before she left Vroka's care, which she had grown after being sent out by Vroka to "eat" magic other than her supplies. Apparently Clover found very genrous adventurers around Jiyyd and elsewhere.
Jiyyd was not rid of the strange girl so easily though, she's still seen often visiting her friends at the Temple of Helm, seeming very protective of them.

A sizable party returned today quite bloodied and gore covered but in good spirits. Seems they went off to investigate driders in the nearby spider cave
but instead found hordes of spiders and in the deeper reaches they are said to have run into a Duergar mining group. After much fighting the party fell back when the Duergar began collapsing tunnels. As a parting shot, the party is said to have lit the Duergar ale on fire with alchemist fire as an insult much to the dismay of the Duergar miners.Further rumor has it a large chest with some unknown valuables were taken from the Duergar and secreted away.

Talk around the commonwealth is that Divine Order Knights have been seen delivering caravans of food from Peltarch to aid the Jiyyd citizens in this time of crisis. It is also rumoured that Second Knight Arielle has been seen rousting up locals to assist in the delivery of the foods to the Council Chambers, being left with those in charge to distribute as needed.

After what seemed the charge of the giant light brigade, calm swept over the plains in both directions until the next morning, where two armoured figures met, one a human knight and the other a dwarf bloodmaiden After a moment of preparation, the two clashed in a duel in a short but painful looking match. When it was over, the two rose and walked away, chuckling and apparantly satisfied with the sparring match
-
The trees around Jiyyd are nearly all bearing a crude hatchet mark of Orcish origin.
//if you know damarran dialect orcish it's a warning about assassins within, there are grammatical and spelling errors.
-
A foul smelling Orcblood has recently arrived in Jiyyd. She generally stays outside the walls roaring and screaming in between forays into the Road. She has no command of any language but Orc and even her grasp of that is tenuous. I can't stress enough how bad she smells.
-
People still speak of the numerous attacks that Jiyyd has been under. It seems as if the small farming community is quickly using up what stored grain and food they had. Rumors float around though about large sacks of grain being left outside the Regal Whore and that a few cows mysteriously appeared in the barn. Where they came from is more speculation than anything, but many know that they were gotten by less than legal means. Others speak of a new traveller who has been seen in town lately. A often hooded woman sitting in the commons and speaking to he locals.

_After what appeared to be a barbecue of cooked chickens and a heated debate about the nature of evil and working with lesser evils to stop another, There was what can only be described as a magical disturbance on the west road leading towards jiyyd. Several legion members, along with Zyphlin and Kara were met by more dreamstalkers and an appearing rift. The young girl known as Clover appeared next after Zyphlin reached into the rift, wreathed in a coating of silvery blue magical fire.
After fending off the following dreamstalker, Zyphlin and company attempted to lessen the apparant fever raging through the little girl and later called Vroka out for assistance. Showing only slight improvement after considerable magic, the group set out to try and find Clover's lost friends, slipping through the same rift she had come from, not moments before.
What exactly happened is known only by the group, but some time after their disappearance, the group reappeared with thirty children and Clover being carried by kara from the Jiyyd Menhir, missing one arm. She was quickly taken to Vroka, and the children guided to the helm temple. A cloaked individual was seen leaving the gates of Jiyyd afterwards, flanked by members of the legion.
Some days later, a small wagon was seen trundling up the road from Norwick with a light guard, bearing food and blankets for the children recovered from the rift land._

_Observers from nearby the western Jiyyd walls report the strange sight of the enigmatic girl Clover speaking with several adventurers, notably the Knight Kara and a few Legionnaires.
During this time, the area near Jiyyd shook with several small tremors. Keen-eyed observers would notice that the quakes coincided with the girl's cute little sneezes.
Vroka was summoned and ministered to the child for a short while, but was seemingly unable to help. A very large and very pink monster attacked the group, dissipating as it was defeated. Vroka returned to her shop while the adventurers followed Clover through a portal she miraculously created from thin air.
Hours later, the bard Sil was accompanied by an armored figure as she led a group of about 20 young children to the temple of Helm. The Helmites are caring for the children in the temple until more permanent arrangements can be made.
Sil and the man (Dermin) met with Kara and Uchi, who took Clover to Vroka's. Recent visitors to the healer might see the one-armed form of Clover resting on a pallet, being tended by Vroka. In the following days, shipments of food, blankets, and clothing arrive from Norwick and are taken to the temple of Helm._

_A lingering, unplesent smell occers around the commons.
People say that the Leigon officer Any/Wog feel asleep agasint a bench and that another Leigonaire, Vall disappeared to the halls. Uponr returning with a nose clip and a poll with a pair of Genral Grag's used and ((Very if you get the understanding)) Dirty underwear. He then dropped them on the sleeping Wog. Those gathjered where repulsed by the smell but no more so thawn the person with it on there face. Within seconds he had gotn up and flailed about trying to get them away from him. As soon as they where a few feet away before being vilontly sick by one of the lamposts. The underwear where then burned before they killled all the animals and most of the people around._

Dwin Dolvak can be seen wandering around town in a much happier mood than most Jiyydians are accustomed to seeing him in.
-
Tanin Valdar, leader of the newly forming elven warband, can be seen standing on the bluff overlooking town often of late. He seems rather pale and withdrawn, and less jovial than his usual self. There is a rumor that he died at the hands of a demon-wolf and its pack, only to be raised by a cleric of Torm.
-
A Legion patrol accompanied by many brave heroes mounted an assault on the gnolls of the former Romani camp!
The group fought into the center of the inner camp, slaying several of the demon priests and a score or more of gnolls. Despite their victories, the group was forced to retreat after sustaining the loss of a comrade.
Dirty from battle but triumphant in victory, they marched back to Jiyyd, raising the unfortunate wizard and toasting well-earned drinks.

A group went out to the orcs, the two recently returned sellswords amongst them. An old human man, an female elf warrior, a skinny male elf, a hin ranger and a female human cleric formed the rest of the party. They came back after a while, without very serious injuries. The talk of the group was how an orc had thrown the hin up a cliff, and all the trouble it took them to get down. When asked, they would respond that the trip went fine, and that they even took a look inside Mintas.
-
Two tired-looking travellers wandered into town today. One a human, the other a dwarf, they traded banter back and forth until looking for a place to stay. Older residents of Narfell might recognize them as the two sellswords, Daeren and Umail who have been gone for some 10 years now.

Aelhaearn looks at Sy and is concerened that he seems even flimsier than before. He offers Ginger a few gold for supplies and a little extra for pie if she and her sisters would make a nice chicken dinner for Sy so he can put some meat on those bones.
-
Sy'wyn has been seen in the Jiyyd commons more often as of the past few days. Leaning heavily on his staff, rumor has it that not only was he in the group that went to the twisted drow outpost after the Dramstone Plague, but was also an important part of the recovery of the elven bard Sil. Seemingly still pale and drawn from his death in the Lost City, the small elf certainly seems thinner and has a haunted look to his eyes, lately muttering about giant eyes, and beware the things with wings.
-
A rumour makes its way down south from the Silver Valley that the orcs guard a secret fenberry plantation somewhere on the plains southwest of Jiyyd. The exact whereabouts of the plantation isn't said.
-
The sun rises over Jiyyd. Through open windows and greeting the residents of the town drifts a clear, sweet melody like spring rain. The bard Sil has returned.
