Jiyyd Rumors
-
@14876a898e=sciolist:
A comparatively mudane and lacklustre orc assault was repulsed by a variety of heroes including Grag and Lyte of the Legion. Rumors that the General left the gates open when nipping out for a few minutes are probably untrue and likely to get a sound hit form the Bopping Stick if overheard.
A much less famous party of a dark-skinned hin related to the Tealeafs, a wizard who is unimpressed with Spellweaver's more necromantic urges and a jovial, but thin elf archer held the West gate with hails of arrows. The Legion Private Erugdish was an unassailable wall of flesh, holding the orcs outside to be slain at the archer's leisure.
((Thanks to LD for a delightful swarm of tiny orcs to play with))
"Der dun be a gud Dwarf by da names of Crome helpin out in dat dere assault! Ye be dun forgettin bout me!!", Crome cries out from over by the cooking pot as the bard scribbles down the story being related….

_ALARM!
Gnoll forces seem somhow to have figured out how the mehir portal's work as they suddenly and with no warning streamed out of the portal near the dwarven temple. Normal gnolls at first, then as the onwatchers and defenders saw, the schene changed to that of a nightmarish quality. the undead had arrived. The brave defenders managed to hold them off, even as one of the big gnoll demons came through….Much helped by a half orcish general dressed in dark blue and black, screeming and swiningin a greataxe wildly.
An Idea was put forth to keg the hole portal.... No one noticed the small hin running, and getting the keg, and few took notice to what was happening before the good old words of -GET DOWN- were heard.
The portal blew... but with a chaotic effect, as most people well versed in lore and spellcraft would know, and bit by bit another portal opened.
This one though was not into the gypsy camp, oh no. It was far worse, slaadi came crawling out of it...
The fight with the slaadi was fierce, and miraculosly the towns defenders stood their ground.
After the fight only one defender was taken down by the vile and cunning magic using creatures. Wich was far better then one might expect during such dire times.
A strange transparent figure, rumored to be called Solari, managed to dispell the now vile and death bringing portal, with a dazzeling display of magical talents.
((thank you DM (no tsure who it was) good fun!))_

Some people speak of a great battle with fierce gnolls that were not dead but were dead and a small boy that was a frightful ghost that was a powerful mage and a poor wizard that was a stinking troll that was a solitary statue and of terrifying demons that could not be killed.

Rumor spreads that the farm before you enter the main gates of Jiyyd, upon the long road closest to the Nars Pass, has been sold to a private group. Several ladies in crimson and black robes are seen wondering around the farm along side constructions workers.

(("GIANT HAMPSTERS!!!!!!….."))

_As the orcs corpses are just cold and pulled out of the road and burned, the Alarm in jiyyd once again can be heard.
Lizards!!
The citizens and visitors of Jiyyd once again have to muster their strength to fend off the Yuan-Ti, saurus and their cubs.
Rumor states that if not for a cleric of grand power summoning a huge earth elemental the defenders woud have lost the battle. But as they work together no lives except for the lizard's are lost, and the gates once again is secure.
Kael can be sen pondering by the gates where these lizards came from and also how come the gates still stands, then he spots the new hinges clarly dwarven made and nods aha.. that is why._
//thank you DM again (not sure it was the same one or who it was, but it was great!

_ORCSES!!!!
a huge half orc in gold and black armor comes running through the gates of Jiyyd Yelling
Apparently he has seen some orcs out on the road to Jiyyd.. The citizens of Jiyyd and the visitors quickly arm themself as they head out to the road to have a look. And surely enough there are Orcs outside on the road.
the defenders of the road do well untill the orc with the great sword shows up, as this heavily armed orc is the last orc standing the orc makes a tactical withdrawel from the battle field. The defenders quickly argre amongst them self that it is wises't not to persue the orc.. due to a fright of the whole withdrawel is a lure to an ambush._
//thank you DM (not sure who)

Peoples spirits seem abit up as a rolling festival enters Jiyyd, there is plenty of food an ale for those that want, and an archer contest is held. To her own great surprise, Horbag wins this archery contest. After the archery, several boxing matches are held. Horbag barely beats Glgonar, Mathor beats all he meets, including a great match with him againt 3 others at the same time.
There was much rejoicing, yay. The travelling festival chief said to spread the word that he is heading for norwick and will be there within the week
-
People are beginning to talk about Nathander more and more these days. It seems that the crazy old man, whom in the past has spoken about Mintas Rhelgor so fondly has been seen muttering to himself and looks to be disturbed by some inner demons concerning the area.
-
Rumor has it that a body was found in room 102 of the Regal Whore. People say that the town guard was very adamant about taking care of the crime scene themselves and let no one near the room. Later they were seen carrying the corpse, wrapped in bloodstained cloth up the hill toward the temple. Lens was seen later the next day rushing to the temple after appearantly hearing of the crime. A public statement is rumored to be forthcoming.
-
_Gossips were made concerning with a particular one eyed, silver haired man speaking to Nathander Steel of Jiyyd regarding of the on-going rumours of a restless spirit taking a form of a boy haunting by the swamps.
In the end, the one eyed man thanked Nathander by offering him some coins to buy himself a new set of clothes. Miraculously, on that day itself, Nathander seemed to be covering his tops for the very first time in Jiyyd instead of changing the colors of his 'special' tailored pants._
((Thanks to Majere for RPing Nathander. His way of conversing is simply hilarious! Cheers.))

A frightening rumor has begun to circulate around Jiyyd. A haunting creature resembling a boy appeared out of thin air one night by the fire, after a badger suddenly disintegrated into nothing. It complained to those gathered that they were "ruining all his fun," and it demanded that "his toys" be left alone "if they seek sanctuary." After turning an elf to stone who had drawn blades against it, the being vanished with the words, "All is pain, all is misery." As to what the "toys" are is anyone's guess, though one belief floating about is that the boy meant the wisps and stirges of the nearby swamp.

Rumours fly about a battle with frost giants just outside Jiyyd, and the risk of an upcoming war….
((those who witnessed the entire event might be better informed, just starting the rumour off))
-
….. a slightly injured but wide-eyed human clad in a silver and black armor stumbles through the gates. Mumbling first something about a new more well trained Hobgoblin fighting with two swords, then he tells a tale of a seemingly agitated HUGE orc wanting a mate from within the city walls of Jiyyd.... After not getting any willingly the HUGE orc callinghimself Grok seemed to take the matter in his own hands launching an attack on Jiyyd with vast numbers of orc's. After the attack wich was held of by brave Jiyyd'ians all the women were counted and to the brave defenders liking none was missing...
((thank you both Herrold and Maythor, had great fun))
-
The observant of Jiyyd may notice Vroka's slightly improved demeanour following the retrieval of a delivery of healing supplies waylaid by bandits.
All of the Sisterhood who went to investigate the missing goods returned unharmed.
-
Rumor quickly spreads of Sy'wyn walking into Jiyyd from the direction of Ormpur his cloak wrapped tight and hood low, dark from some liquid. No one is quite sure what happened, but he settled on the archers tower later, and stripped his cloak, showing himself to be covered in blood, and with four large scars across the right side of his face. Rumors quickly fly about what happened, though Sy only commented about ten or more packleaders, and seemed dazed. He was later seen stumbling towards the Silver Valley dragging his battered and blood soaked armor and cloak behind him, muttering about to much blood.
-
The latest rumour going around Jiyyd is that a loud and obnoxious dwarven musician was picking on smallfolk outside the Regal Whore. She took a few (drunken?) swings at displaced gypsy camp refugee, Gears. Suddenly, halfling scout Ginger Tealeaf walked up and gave the dwarf two quick punches to the kidneys, dropping her. The fight was over in seconds. The gnomes stood in shocked silence, the hins snickered, and the dwarf lay passed out under the setting sun.
-
A small group of people, consisting out of four members of the Sisterhood and some others, is seen taking a cow out of one of the stables and leading her out into the pass, obviously with the intention of taking the cow to Peltarch. When asked about it, it seems that the muscular, red-haired woman owns the cow and wanted it transfered.
-
The Magistrate is glad as ever to speak with Arandor, and he makes it known to him that he thinks that the unwelcome occupiers of the camp should be removed before they become as numerous as the Eastlander Bandits were. He asks Arandor to call at the city soon, and he shall do his best to see if Peltarch can assist them once the Defenders are ready.
"Only fitting to return the assistance offered to the city in their war against the Eastlanders with offers of help in your coming battles." - he remarks.
