::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Apparently there was some trouble at the Goat last night. Word is that Roland and a big half orc in black armor, some say Grag, walked in and made quite a scene. Seems things got violent and the two were seen walking out a short while later, leaving a few dozen Blood Spiders dead and dying inside.
Neither has been seen in the city since.
-
Clandra Galpen, after hearing from this, asks for details of the man from those who saw him, preparing for a hunt.
-
A man in impressive looking armor was seen in the eastern Plain slowly gutting some of the great beasts he had slain, he hangs the entrails of the animals over some of the large rocks among the Eastern Plains leaving a very unpleasant smell to waft into the city of Peltarch
-
The Magistrate Barrim is seen returning from the south through the commons with an air of determination about him but looking tired and needing a long bath. After returning to the courthouse he was seen entering the baths.
He goes to speak to the owner of the bath-house about the recent account of fighting and attempted murder there to see if any witnesses can be found as he has not seen a guard report on the issue.
Later he was heard to remark to those closest to him about his fondness for the gypsy camp, and that too long had passed since it was safe to rest there on one's way to the southern regions. He expresses his approval at the lack of gnolls there thesedays and of those that contributed to the recent success there.
-
A recently returned, and possibly familiar face has been seen about the City, asking after the daughter of one of the City's noblemen as subtley as he can manage.
Slim and beauteous, this red-headed elf asks after but one person.
"Rose Hollowmoon", he names her.
-
A tall and muscular redhead has begun teaching adventurers willing to listen her so-called Troll-Death-Curse which will only work on trolls, though. All those willing to listen are taught to shout "IRIEEEEIEEEEIEEEEEIEEEE!" Those who stay around and ask what she means to achieve are cautioned about trolls in the caves of the nearby hills, saying she went there with two brave adventurers and they met a very nasty and strong troll who tossed them through the air like small stones and almost would have eaten all of Peltarch, if not for her successful attempt with the Death-Curse.

_Well Natanya is out and about and seem to be released from her time in the temple. When asked what has happened to her, she smiles and says it is complicated and quite taken care of, but she now is all well.
In fact she is now seen running out and in of the bard college of all places, carrying stacks of books usually meant for beginner bards, sitting on the grass near the commons making notes._
-
_"It is reported that Head-priestess Daisy has locked Natanya in her room for security/safety reasons, unable to leave. It is rumored that the Paladin is 'unwell'?
She is allowed visitors, but the people are being told to do so with caution, and that there will be somebody with them to stand outside the door during the entire time to prevent her from leaving (I assume?) and for 'safety' reasons."_

The beauty queen, Clandra, was heard to have been killed at the docks. Eyewitnesses tell that she was trying to arrest some wavebreakers for killing bloodspiders, and was attacked not only by the wavebreakers, but some poor-aiming guards too. Or maybe the shots at her were purposeful..?
-
In the past weeks, much to'ing and fro'ing of the Cerulean, Mecizq will have been noticed, exiting town with a mutter about gnolls and the camp. A short time ago, he was seen returning looking battered & spent after several days absence, though with a satisfied look on his face, carrying word that the Gnoll's Demon God has been barred influence in the area, and the camp has been partially retaken.
-
Rumours fly about an assassination attempt in the Peltarck bath house. The warrior known as Zoma and a tall blond female of lesser reknown were brutally attacked by three archers who appeared through a portal. The terrified bath house guests offered no help to the pair, and all seemed lost when suddenly another portal opened and a male warrior sprang to their rescue. The blood ran red on the bath house floor before an unconscious Zoma was carried off to the temple by the blond woman, still in her bathing suit. The spectators overheard little else than the mention of the word Union, but the general consensus seems to be that this has little to do with Peltarch affairs.
-
A rumour has been going around that the lady known as Laura Steel was killed by lions and her body carried off, although there is little who mourn
//OOC note, the saga of Laura Steel will still go on, but in a different way….evil laugh
-
three bodys found out side near the tower in the foothills east of town inside the wall 2 where pretty whole one just arm and leg was found there also was a big hole near the body but too wounder kobolts were also there who knows what happend really
-
From the Bardic College, Meril and Eluriel walked through Peltarch carrying a parcel so heavily wrapped in leather that the shape of the contents could not have been discerned. They disappeared into the lower level of the temple of Tyr.
-
Shannon D'Arneau was recently seen carrying a pile of goo to the Temple of Tyr with an odd-looking cowled hin following close behind.
-
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.
-
_Rumors of this pale elf continue to circulate. There are strange accounts of him being in the commons talking to people who catch his eye.
There have been times where he has been seen in conversation with Lisa.
Some say it was the same elf that attacked her but a few days ago.
Others say that is impossible.
Some say it is Syne who was executed so many years back for terrible crimes, but why would he be wandering around the city, getting nods and waves from the city guard?
Then it can't be him.
Some people have been heard calling him senator, but then it would be him, but how could that possibly be? He was executed wasn't he?
Wasn't he?_
-
Hjoichi Olsen is seen delivering a small sack to the Temple.
Also, word abounds of recent Yuan Ti activity in the western foothills.
-
A tall redhead tells those people who are willing to listen a crazy story about how wizard, dressed in all the colors of the rainbow appeared in the middle of the market and turned everyone present into statues of stone. According to her tale, it wasn't much later that a woman in a blood red robe appeared, rising her staff and stopping the vile magics of the wizard and then er the um wizard er disappeared er again um and er the um witch er tried um to er turn er the um people er back er but um turned er them er into um kobolds um so er she um left er in um shame er too um.

Hearing the news Zyphlin simply blinks a bit, looking over at the guards, then back to the person spreading the news, and sighs before asking for a bit more than "pale elf" though his guess is already pretty set.
You know. You think guards and senators would be able to recognize a man that was a former senator, inquisitor, long time citizen, and man found guilty of treason and I don't know…..not have civil conversations chatting about the weather with them in the middle of the commons.
Its a sad, sad thing what happened to those people...but I truly can't blame Nat for actually reacting to an enemy of the state just chatting in the commons.
The families of the poor men excluded, half the people ridiculing the poor paladin right now would probably be condemning her for not acting if all of a sudden he started summoning forth demons in the commons. Nothing like being damned either way...
