Just a snippet of local gossip:
"That that odd little elven woman Ting, know who I'm talking about?"
"The who spends quite a lot of her time in the nars pass … though some
say she is really from the city in the north""Yea, that's the one! The one who wears purple and black a lot–"
"My cousin says she's a sharran–"
"Nonsense! With the lot she hangs out with? Doesn't make any sense. Anyways she was wearing her white and blue robe when she talked to me."
"Brilliant robe isn't it? I wonder how she keeps it clean, always meant to ask her that."
"It is… it is... but my point is, she talked to me"
"Oh, how funny, what about?"
"Well she wanted to know If I was there–"
"Where?!"
"… well if you'd quit butting in I'd tell you!"
"Don't get all fussy on me missy! Just tell me the story"
"She asked me if I was there when Atol showed up at the gates a couple months back."
"Why ever would she want to know that?"
"Well she says she's looking for any information that anyone can provide for her about it. She said she'd pay me if the information was good."
"Pay you? Oh I'd better ask my husband if he heard anything. That ting woman isn't poor by any means, and we could sure use a couple extra coins before planting season comes around."
"Yes, I think I'll ask my sister if she heard anything… oh yes and this Ting hangs out in Jiyyd a lot, so that's where I bet you can find her."
Word gets around…
((Pm me or send me a tell ig if your char (or an npc even) leaves word that they want to meet with Ting. Make it easier for me to find you with my current scattered playing schedule))

The constant attacks by goblins and bugbears seem to be getting stronger and more relentless every day. Few begin to wonder what is causing these atatcks, and why does it seem that Bugbear Blackguards are intent on running past the defenders to target specific people in the town. All is known is everyday the attacks come they seem stronger and more determined but no one seems to know who is leading the armies against Norwick.
