Jiyyd Rumors
-
Alarm quickly spreads troughout Jiyyd that the bats cave is the new home of a huge cave bear. The ranger Aghila Thanhys was seen walking out from the cave badly wounded and barely alive saying…. @dafebf8c1c:
Look for a druid… we need a druid..
then he fell unconscious.
-
Word quickly spreads troughout Jiyyd that the fallen city of Mintas Rhelgor is crawling with powerful undead. Investigating a rumour from Nathander about "the return of Rhelgor", a group of around 10 people set out to investigate teh ruins. Once there, powerful undead started rising from the ground, several of which were invulnerable to any weapons the group carried. In the confusion of the battle and frantic retreat, 3 people of the original group, and another of the people who had come to rescue the first group, was ripped apart by the undead. Travellers are to avoid the city and surrounding area.

erugdish beses hear, beses nasty nasty winking fish comses to jiyyd, magics be everywhere!!!! maybes show erugdish where be little goldie bes again
-
The mage Khyrill has been around Jiyyd asking for details of the gnolls emerging from the menhirs.
-
Rumors fly of a large party including the Paladins Kara and Belade, and Lyte and Grog of the Legion, traveling to Mintas, where they reputedly took a terrible beating at the hands of extremely numerous and powerful undead creatures. The party returned dragging bodies, with everyone very badly hurt.
Tongues wag of new dangers out there in what is already a deadly land, and of the windy plains being strangely empty. What could this mean? Why are these undead rising…gnolls, shadows, eastlanders, and now these terrible undead in Mintas.
It seems days of unrest for the dead are commonplace now, and people are seen burying their dying relatives extra deeply in the ground in the local cemetery.
Creepy times are upon us.

A massive battle took place one night within jiyyd, that claimed rumoured to be half of the entire town. All the town guardsmen were slain on that night by an army of undead, including the profaned zombies, and other undead in the form of ogres, colossals and even minotaurs.
The tide of undead were eventually defeated by a small group of adventurers, rumoured to be led by a knight of the divine shield and two other skilled mages. The group searched for the source, and was eventually led to a small camp atop a hill at the roads to ompur, where a feast was laid out with a note, "You didn't kill the bad man, so i have laid out this feast to keep up your strength. You disappoint me."
Along with the feast were impaled bodies, which were all subsequently destroyed by a fireball. The bodies seemed to be undead cut up, the clothes upon them similar to those worn by performers.

@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.

_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))
