Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
_Rumors spreads around the city that the mining trips held by the woman in black armor named Olivia are becoming more frequent and more succesful with each trip. Some say that this woman is working hard as if to accomplish some goal. Those who have seen her working say that she has said something to her companions about making a good business out of those old mines.
Along side those those rumors is fear that their constant visits to the mines could spark off some sort of rivalry or serious threat from the duergars who are known to use the mines already. Also, ettins could start getting more aggressive and even dare to attack the city as retaliation for the numbers they have lost to the mining crew.
It is said that in their last visit to the mines, the company of miners was guided by a man known as Lotharian and thanks to him, the company managed to find a great amount of ore. Little is known about the guide other than some vague rumors that he has slain a black dragon and is hiding his treasure at a location only known to him. He also seems to work for cheap it is said. Only charging 50 gold coins and some ale … or so the rumors say.
word still goes around the city that the woman in black iron armor still encourages those who wish to learn to mine to step forward and join the mining expeditions._

More memorable of the estranged Tribune's inebriated antics was some silly tune about a little goblin.
-
_Word spreads that a group of adventurers had the rope leading to the upper levels of the city mines burnt while they were exploring the lower levels. They say that the cause is unknown and that the guards on duty did not see anyone enter the mines during the time being.
Some say that it was an attempted murder on the Banite Zanetar who was seen acting drunk before and after the whole event… and that he caused quite a comical scene at the inn where he made a huge mess in the kitchen. Those who were there say that they heard him vomit and that he was being helped by a woman in black armor.
Others that were seen among the group were a man that goes by the name of Corde and his companion, Lock, Allanon and Olivia.
Rumors also have it that this Olivia is looking for anyone wanting to learn the art of blacksmithing and that any interested should seek her out._
-
Word is spread that a man known as the Raven is seeking any powerful necromancer who is looking to make a bit of coin, he can be sought in Jiyyd. Messages left with Drudo of the Regal Whore inn will reach him.
-
Nickolai walked through the gates of oscura covered in stone, a dark presance could be felt from him… rumors spread as rumors do... some factual some fiction... one thing can be certain.. He's a bit different now.
-
The redhaired woman, some recognize as the winner of the tournament, was seen running through Oscura, screaming in fear. Later on she was carried under an elven monk's direction to the inn, her legs stabilized by some wooden sticks, while the redhead kept whimpering softly about souls and demons. The elf and the woman spent a good while at the inn, and much later, the redhead is seen leaving, still walking a bit uneasily on her legs.
-
The lifeless body if Arikess the mage, and guard of Peltarch was dragged to the city surface by Chaevre' Vaelen, though not dead his life energy seemed to have been drained from him almost entirely, Chaevre' seemed to have dumped his body and then returned to the undercity.

_Rumors spread about a tournament in the Brawling Bodak, with participants coming from everywhere in Narfell to match their skills. Barbarian women, halflings, fully armored knights, clerics and even dwarves were seen at the arena. It is said that through a display of fine swordmanship a red-haired woman of the Sisterhood and the Guardians bested those she was pitted against. Even though three people bet on her oponent and only she herself placed a bid on her behalf, she defeated the other warrior, securing herself a price of two-thousand gold.
However, she proved to be quite unable to claim the title of champion which Llars defended in a short paced battle that left the remaining visitors speechless. The woman they had seen stand through a long fights before, was down before the fight had really begun. People fearing they might have to give the title of arena champion to a mere student of Peltarch's Fighter Academy breathed out a sigh of relief. In the words of the redhead, she had yet to learn how to fight, before she could cross blades with Llars.
Furthermore it seems the poor, beaten woman didn't even get the debtors of the bets against her to pay and was later seen being dragged, utterly drunk as some people gossip, to a room at the Copper where she spent a good while, snoring off her drunkeness._

Rumors spread that several undead were seen in the sandy pass before the bridges into Oscura, consisting mainly of skeletons that shot magical missles at the small group of adventurers. They were quickly taken down. Curiously enough, a human assassin was seen amongst the group of undead and it is rumored he was seen stalking after Nicahh before his escape, although she says she thinks he was just after anyone to kill.
-
Nickolai was seen taking corde's lifeless body from the mines to the temple… he didn't mention what had happened.
-
It is said that the SkullKrushers have opened a place in the Undercity for Citizens wanting to try their hand at crafting.
-
Nickolai is seen informing the gaurds that hostile cyricists were found within the mine
-
The sounds of construction seem to be fading away as it seems the SkullKrusher dwarves are nearing the end of their project on the west side of Oscura. The area has been heavily restricted, but many whisper about a bridge spanning a chasm, not unlike the one in the Raven Rift.
-
nickolai and a tatooed man were seen speaking in the shiney coppers… though it was hushed nickolai appeared quite amused.

_Dwin, Pete, Ginger and Rugg'var are witnessed by two commoners as they enter the township dragging along a large sled of copper ore. The town was observed to be painted in blood and found to be abandoned. These two commoners were actually the masters of a caravan of sorts which had made its way to the township and likewise discovered the strange spectacle of an empty town bathed in blood.
The ore was off-loaded in the barn and a dispatch sent to General Grag informing him of the ores location so he could see to it's delivery to the legion._
-
Nickolai's dead body was seen being taken into the temple in oscura, it's not known if he was ever ressurected.
-
Eastlander violence is increasing in the Pass outside the cave entrance. Multiple sneaks and soldiers with Priests and other mages commanding are commonplace.
Newer units noted - War cats and skilled skirmishers in dark orange and black armor.

Rumor spreads that the Chancellor of Norwick was seen leading Tolin, Nickolai and Nicahh into the caverns surrounding Oscura. It is rumored they were hunting grey dwarves to recover a stolen item they had taken from the shrine of Lathandar in Norwick. The four are seen entering the caves, yet only one was seen emerging from them only hours later and he came out grumbling about meeting Rando in the caves. Days had passed and yet none of the adventurers were seen leaving the caverns.
