::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
_Dark rumours spread of a demon.. or maybe a devil eating Rath's brain, he seems strange and unlike himself, passing gold to beggers, patting children on the head and smiling strangely at odd moments - and on occassion turning a disturbingly knowing smile on those he speaks.
His guards are twitchy and mutter something about Horsgate too frequently to be coincidental_

Ocean snorts "ah love yer deerly Clan, bu' yer nutz if yer think Mirk'd leev hissen dead an Lilly neer abou ter kill herssen juz fer a few votez. Yer may ha sell'd yer zsoul ter tha Azhaldz, bu' mozt of uz iz nay so daft az nay ter noe better. Fackers."

"Always a bard, that Mirkali. I doubt he even is dead. And.. "
Clandra chuckles, looking at the crowd around her..
"..if people looked at the past, they'd see that Mirkali doesn't stay dead. This is obviously just a trick to get those voters."
Clandra winks and dissapears via invisibility.

_Most of the people of Peltarch who appreciated his charity were saddened upon hearing Mirkali's death, which news reached them not long after voting had officially started… and some begining to tear up and others weep when they heard his body was not responding to raising attempts.
Words of mouth spreads, but most recall Gallab's words in the Mermaid, who drank with Mirkali often when Mirkali was in Peltarch, and Mirkali seemed to talk to him most of all the others..._
"Mirkali was in the ferret a week before this… tragedy... when he told us that he voted for Zyphlin and Eowiel... despite being offered a "blank trader's slip", as he called it, of limitless potentional fortune, by the Ashald family to support Aaron. He said that..."
"Gallab covers his face, sniffling a bit as he seems to have a bit of trouble speaking… but looks up to the crowd anyway, his eyes puffy, as he forces himself to continue.
…he would not sully his donation with the practice of "Political Endorsement", but he told us, in our questions of why... in many many words of grace, beauty, and reasoning... of why he voted for them. I could never hope to emulate the great words of the late Mirkali, but if I were to summarize them, I recall one qoute clearly though, for he said...
'Those two people shall serve Peltarch best, for they are neither saints... nor career politicians... for they keep Peltarch's prosperity close to their hearts, the cries of the people to their ear, and their coin purses closed to those trying to manipulate politics with hefty sums. They shall bring equality to the people, as much as can be gained without collapsing Peltarch itself into poverty, and bring justice to those who have avoided it this long through their power. They will do, my friends... they will do...' "
The man gives a pause, looking down for a solemn moment, before looking upon those listening, nodding to everyone as in thanks for their audience
Word of mouth spreads Mirkali's personal voting choice across Peltarch of Zyphlin and Eowiel… though others talk of a scandal of the Ashalds, about how Mirk often joked that the Ashalds would get back at him for not supporting Aaron, and monger at this being quite convient of his body unable to be raised right in the thick of the voting season, being the perfect way to silence Mirkali's opinions. Some of Mirkali's supporters are almost violent and furious to those that proudly defend the Ashald name.
Other rumours are abound of his fiance, Lilly, being unstable and quite possibly suicidal after recieving the news. His corpse is currently being preserved within a case of glass, at the edge of the theater balcony facing the front of the stage, until times that they attempt something else to bring the bard back to the land of the living… most of his supporters taking a trip to visit the corpse.

_A large commotion was heard from the Seafarers Guildhall. Screams of people dying and orders being shouted. After a moment of this Lord Aarron Ashald in the company of Lady Natanya came running out of the hall armed and glancing about.
They proceeded to the temple to speak with Daisy before heading into the Senate apartments. What happened isnt really known but rumors are spreading about devils in the city. Aarron doesnt have a pleasant look on his face as he walks around the city._
-
A human man wearing Vestments of Bane, and several symbols of Bane, was escorted into Peltarch through the south gate by a hin, his face obscured behind his helmet. The man held a conversation with some people in a strange-sounding language //infernal// in the commons, and appeared to be in a good mood, despite being arrested. He claimed that it was all an administrative mistake.
-
Rumors spread that the charitable bard Mirkali has passed away mysteriously. No one truely knows how this occured and speculation runs rampant but some state that the Bard angered some very powerful people who wanted his support for the campaign and that he had made some prophetic statements before his passing of what he thought they would do.
-
_After the great party of heroes entered back into the city Zyphlin can be seen in the commons somewhat often telling his tale. As time goes on, key points become rumors though the full story can be heard often.
Word passes that it was Senator Roland and Zyphlin that heard words of a plot by someone within the city to hire out pirates and mercenaries to violate the tomb of the great Fisher King for political reasons and organized the trip. Though it was later found out that whoever hired them was douped by the conniving Lord Hashnar.
Many women seem to swoon at the thought of the brave Shannon…in many stories now turning up bare chested...wrestling and beating a massive Fire Giant.
The tale of Rolands slaying of the dragon after uncovering the truth of its dealing with his ancestors is wide spread, as is the recovering of his families ancient armor and the gifting of an ancestral sword of House Brynmor.
The names of the brave heros also is rather remembered, as the tale of a Dragon Slaying had not reached Peltarch for some time._
-edited for accuracy-
-
Hushed voices spread word that Sir Roland Brynmor, Senator of Peltarch, has slain the white dragon Hashnar… by himself.

:: A man, "Z" was heard to be spreading rumours about encountering zombies within the morgue in the docks district. A red robed elf named Arikess and a bard named Lilly was seen later accompanying him there, supposedly an hour later it is said they have gotten rid of the zombies, though the caretaker there is nowhere to be seen, some rumour him to be killed by the zombies, others believe he is a practioner of necromacy who is behind the zombies themselves.::
-
a white haired bard was seen speaking with Eowiel about the campaign… after hearing her support for the paladin his questions became a bit rough and biased... his exiting words were "The paladin will screw things up, Eowiel might do some good, and the other is probably in it for himself"
-
Apparently the red-haired warrior-woman has brought a cow to Hemrod's stable from far south, with the help of some friends and placed it in his stables.
-
Rumors spread fast of a group of bards from Hoarsgate performing all throughout the city – they have some interesting stories about senatorial election candidate Tidus Clodpin, too...

One morning saw the streets of the commerce district swarming with rats, small and huge in various degrees of filth, pouring up from drains and gutters in the city, sending most womenfolk into a massive frenzy of horror. Eowiel Senella hired a small band of mercenaries to deal with the problem on behalf of the City and it seems to have been resolved, much to everyone's relief.

For those who keep up with the towns gossip, ol' Pete the guard has been sighted more in the local taverns. Apparently he has been heard mumbling while staggering home to his wife and children.
"Twenty five years I have given to the service of Peltarch, and some Outlander with a citizenship paper, because he is too cheap to buy a traders permit, comes and tries to discredit my name with farking lies! And all this because he wouldn't pay a 100 gold fine when caught red-handed picking the lock of the main gate."

Word spreads that a major mrechant festival and auction in honor of the ending of the war is being thrown soon by Zyphlin
((shooting for late thursday EST))
-
Stories spread about Pete Rione Refusing arrest outside the gates of peltarch, as his accuser, one of the guards could not accuse him of a crime, after Pete opened the gates for his friends.
The guard swong his axe at pete, as pete easily dodged and ran south. The guards need more training if they intend to defend the city.
Pete can be found in Jiyyd for any that wish to hear his case on the hot headed guard, but pete will not spend a year in a cell just to be aquited.
((OOC note: while NWN requires that a player retaliate against an attack, Pete would not punch a guard and as such, that is to be ignored as if it never happened.))

word speads of Mariston charging at Rass to aid a defender captain, when the fearful aura fo the beast struck the young knight quaffed a potion which seemed to nullify the effects
-
Word spreads that Zyphlin was seen fighting alongside the defenders in the pass, and is said to have aided in dealing the killing blow against one of the eastlander's high assassin captains that had snuck into the defending camp during an attack. However after the blow it is said he suffered a near fatal wound as fire licked over his body. By the aid of clerics near by and the grace of Tymora he hung onto his life and is said to be recovering after the battle inside the theater for a few days.
