Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
Lately, Gurt has been warning those who sit by the well to be extra careful. He claims a venegeful spirit may appear, and that she can possess your body and make you do "very bad things."
-
The steelheeled banite Lealac was seen entering the caves deep in kuo-toa lands recently with two other banites. After nearly ten hours, the three banites returned. Lealac and Nickolai were covered in bruises, but the man in more sturdier armor was almost untouched. Question is, who is this mysterious man…
-
_….also a student of the spellweaver, was one of the bodyguards clustering the grey robed Tribune, having no affiliation with either the slaughtered duergar or the legion he followed for the chance of enlightenment and to seek the knowlidge of the deep...
Rumors about the horrid sights seen down in the caves appered as quickly as the companions left the cave mouth. There are stories circulating about Giants, Duergar and also Kua Toa, that were encountered in the deep caves. But none of the interesting dead foes, the greyclad women set out to find..... If asked, the stories are quickly verified and even elaborated by the student.
One of the things he also mentioned was some kind of a strange darkness that seem to swallow people whole down in the cave. Two of the companions part of the bodyguards that accompanied the gray robed one was taken by this darkness... And it is uncertain, atleast to him, if they ever are to return from that grave of a cave as he call's it.
After they returned to the surface the student is seen hurridly making some distance between himself and the Kua Toa caves. Looking over his shoulder and seemingly a bit suspicious of the shadows and darkness about him_
//thanks for a great time Attlen. I had great fun//

_…the grey robed Tribune returned from the caverns of the Koa Toa twice, both times with battered bodyguards clustered around her. The purpose of the two ventures were disimilar, say the rumors, but neither proved wholely successful as a rogue surfacer fled with something sought in the first venture and the second excursion was turned back at the Duergar border. The Legion and the clan of the Slaughtered Duergar, comprising the latter entourage, seemed to have fared better than the first and they were paid with equipment from the private armory of the Monestary of the Iron Fist.
The Nameless Monk made it clear that neither matter was settled, and that further ventures would be made at her own personal expense._

Great fun as always, fellas! Thanks to everyone who joined up!
If you post here (like Rolert and Chaevre) it'll help me remember who's been previously involved, so I can continue these later.

Late one evening The Nameless Monk and the Pale Keeper of Spellweaver had hired a few guards and set off into the underdark, they were searching for something or someone and hand intended to try to capture said person or their belongings, it is heard that something they found was stolen and that they had placed a bounty on Elorathall for the return of the item, aside from losing the artifact the mission had failed as the guards hired were unable to handle the ettin shaman..
-
Rolert talks about the adventure he had trying to find this vampire, they eventually ran into Duergar and bluntly put by Rolert. "They ran like der sissies dey is… Just bunch'un Duergar"
-
…sometimes, on these same excursions, the pale songmistress stumbles across already-drained victims...
-
The vampiric bard, Shemaright, has come back to Oscura. She doesn't quite seemto be at her full powers though. She spends most of her week in her own room, sleeping. The last day of the week she wakes up, heads outside of Oscura. She always comes back covered in blood, especially around her lips.
-
Arthus Goldmoon, it seems, has returned. He claims to have been "reborn" through the stormlord, Talos. He has recently been spotted wandering around the depths of Oscura, wearing a strange, reddish plated armour. Rumours also incur that he has been seen following a man by the name of Allanon Leonsin. The other night, he was seen in strange confrontation with Zanetar Den'Kath. It seemed Zanetar did not agree with something that Arthus said. Soon after the confrontation however, they met an agreement of some sort, and walked off hastily from one another.
-
Strange, short phrases have been heard around Oscura and the chasm lately. Unclear who's singing them, they knock the wind (and spirit) out of anyone close, and unfortunate, enough to hear them. And they are left with a profound feeling of being prey.. insignificant cattle awaiting slaughter and consumption.
-
rumors have been spreading by the guards stationed in the raven rift, a couple banites have called for unity and a force to rival the troff legion and protect all those that walk in darkness. it is unclear what is really happening, and who is behind this though.
-
_Rumors spread that yet again the well was acting up. Some say a parchment was seen floating inside the well as magics surged from it. In perhaps a most clever, self persevering manner, Nicahh was seen offering to pay a young, perhaps foolish, follower of Talos to run amongst the magics and retrieve the parchment for her. Later she was seen tucking a parchment away, and the man was seen with his armor covered with scorch marks and him upon his knees praising Talos for sparing his life.
One thing is for sure…the well seems to be getting more and more active as of late, producing images that make some wonder, even more, what in the hells is going on._
-
A great fair was held at the old Alliance Arms Inn. Following an archery competition, a cage fight and a battle game came the largest auction in years. Many thousands of gold changed hands, all in favor to auctionmaster Nico Black, of course.
-
Residents would speak of an event that occured not but a day ago, involving the well. A Banite, Uthger, and a woman dressed in Black and Purple robes were present when Fire spewed from the well.
Soon to follow were Spectres, which attacked the three there, however the guards quickly intervened.
A lengthy discussion followed, along with some degree of input from an elf dressed in purple, which ended with each participant dispersing in different directions. The robed woman was seen heading to the temple.
-
_A very sullen Nicahh has been seen moping around Oscura as of late. Some say she appeared to recieve quite a berating from her most recent companion, though no one could understand what in the hells they were arguing over.
For days the ivory skinned woman is only seen moving from her room at the Shiney Coppers, to the Red Falcon's Library, where she seems to be moving tomes around, glancing at them, rather than doing in depth research. Other times she is seen examining the Soul Well with an obvious curiosity, never too close to it, while clutching an ancient looking parchment.
Some whisper she is looking for a bard to help her with a project._
-
Men and women wearing black and gold are once again being seen in Oscura. One of these people having nearly red hair, that has been lurking around the city for some time, seems to be introducing himself to many in the city, asking around for jobs that need to be done.
-
Shadows themselves seem to have followed the guards dragging this half orc out of the City. Later it is heard that a carving of a skull and crossbones was found on his cheek.
-
A large tall man, wearing, what looked like newly painted banite colors on his armor can be seen looking around Oscara. He walks woth his head lowered and a helm trying to avoid people who he meets. Eventally after not being able to get into the undercity he starts to serch about the upper part of Oscara. After a while he heads into the monastery. After a few minutes four gaurds follow him in, after a while the sounds of a very short fight the gaurds drag the body of Any Wogshurgh, reconsiable without his helm, bloodied through the streets out into the caverns. It is said that they dragged him through the crypts and threw him into the Norwick graveyard.
-
_Keira is enquiring of known mages and other students off oddness about localised odd magic phenomena. Patches of darkness, haste spells, other strange things. Unlike most Oscuran oddness, this wasn't happening at the well and seemed to follow her about.
Probably unrelatedly a nondescript elf seen at the monastery disappeared in a puff of lightning just in front of the Red Falcon library, leaving no trace behind him_.
-
Rumours are heard throughout Oscura, that the destructive forces of Talos are planning to sweep the land in the coming times… A posted note can be found in the oscura town square... It reads: To any of those, lost, or without a lord... Talos beckons you... If you wish to join up, talk to Arthus Goldmoon, the ex-paladin of Torm... He should usually be dwelling within the forgotten city. Only "worthy" applications shall be accepted... Arthus will show you the way to a relationship with the stormlord.
at the bottom of the note is a drawing of an explosive blast of lightning
