Whispers at the Fire
-
"If you thought he was going to do anything more than taunt you or make demands, then I did you a huge favor. Who knows how many hours you could've wasted."
-
Lucidious is seen by the fire at the south gates talking to travelers of the recent undead attack. He mentions that he was pleased to see Norwick militia patrolling and defending the area at the time of the attack. He continues to warn travelers to be more cautious as they travel south of Norwick because the source of this undead threat is still unclear.
“if the druids would take time to think before they act we might have more on the source of these undead…”
-
Spellweaver's headmaster can be seen at the menhir stones, observing the active portal magics there, and occasionally scrawling notes in a large bound book. If approached, he will will calmly explain that the Keep is preparing for magical experimentation on the most potent menhir stones in Narfell. With the town's permission, of course.
-
Word has it that the town militia is seeking new members. Some grumblings can be heard about recent changes but also good news of change in the wind is discussed as well.
-
A small rumor is started that there will be an elf running nude through Norwick. The details are all very vague, but he is to be know as "the pasty deserter". It is recomended you bring your friends and cheer him on.
-
After taking a long stroll through Norwick seemingly discussing what sounds like construction plans, the druids Raisa and Wolf are seen speaking with Vino about building possible shrine to the gods of nature on "his" hill.
// We'll be contacting Lof IC. If a DM/Dev can help estimate costs of a small shrine and what's possible with the toolset, we'd appreciate it!
-
Rando on hearing these rumours just laugh and says
"Yeah right…."
He then turns to Captain Milshot and says
"shakes some trees and see what falls out of them on this rumour will you Mil"
Rando chuckles on knowing what will happen next
-
Supposedly the dissaproval of Rando is growing. Though no names are ever mentioned, a few people have been heard of saying not so kind things.
-
_The front door of the Boarshead Inn has recently been blown to smouldering ashes. The hardened patrons of the establishement seemed to take it all in stride, Barle muttering something about the "farkers at Spellweavers Keep". Warriors Zoma and Ragnhild, trying to descreetly mingle in with the crowd, appeared more rattled then the rest but agreed with the first part of Barles assessment at least.
Outside, two female mages were slain - one attacking the noted druid Oreth Meret, and the other seemingly trying to stop the first. The hot tempered dwarven cleric Jirka apparently does not take kindly to being blasted with fire…_
-
_An irate woman in blue and golden dusty armour is seen ascending from the southern crypts in Norwick and informing Tond to tell all to keep caution when heading down into the crypts…shadow beings have been seen appearing within and attacking those caught within
Some half a mark later, the woman known as Kara is seen at the chancellors office, binding some scratches on her arm and asking to see Lof. When he is nowhere to be found, she leaves word with the remaining guard that he should seek her out and retires back to the shrine._
-
The south gate tower is scorched and covered in soot, as if recently exposed to fire. Ragnhild can be spotted scrubbing away at the soot, cussing darkly in her native tongue. She sits there, stubbornly trying to enjoy the scenery while casting many a wary glance towards the nearby hill.
-
An obsidian haired woman by the name of Velencia, has been seen wondering around Norwick as of late. Often found near a large blonde barbarian man, she seems slightly shy at first, but has slowly been introducing herself to those clad in militia uniforms. She speaks of an interest in joining their ranks, and has been seeking out Milshot.
-
_A wizened old wizard staying at the Boardshead was sipping his tea quietly when a small group of adventurers approached him. I t seems the group had been sent out to retrieve a certain object for the frail man, and a hefty coin purse switched hands upon the completetion of the mission.
The group celebrated their newfound riches with a friendly ale. The fairhaired barbarian Ragnhild seemed particularly pleased with her new scars and a fancy looking battle axe, apparantly won in a dual with a goblin._
-
_The tall blonde barbarian Ragnhild was attacked by a mysterious assailant as she was sitting peacefully at the south fire talking to Arcana Advisor Arcaome Mennemen. The attacker fled into town and when the enraged Ragnhild caught up with him, he flung a black leaf on the ground and vanished. Later that same day the two Norwickians were attacked once again, this time outside the north gates. To those that know her well, Ragnhild seems jumpier than usual, but still refuses to give up her favourite spot atop the south gate tower.
On a matter possibly completely unrelated, a stoneclad man claiming to be an artist has been spotted in the Nars, summoning various beasts and then turning them into living art._
-
Ponce found a small number of goblins trying to attack Norwick's southern gate. Being only small goblins, they were easily dispatched, but the gate should be checked for any damage to it.
-
_Another undead attack is reported to have taken place just outside the south gates of town. Scores of zombies and skeletons sprung from the ground, led by a large slaad-like creature. Strange glowing runes were spotted near the lake. The sparse number of defenders fought the attack as best they could, with militia man Milshot taking the lead.
The tall blond barbarian woman Ragnhild was seen leaving the battle, nearly fatally wounded, and making her way as fast as her legs would bear her towards Jiydd in search of reinforcements. Upon her return, the forest was quiet once more._
-
_A group of heavily armored mercenaries known as the Raven approached a commoner of Norwick by the name of Zoma by the south gate of Norwick. The encounter between the two sides were tensed, and even more so when more people came to watch the commotion with Rando finally arriving into the scene as well as his intervention.
Swords and shields were drawn, but the exchange of words seemed eerily calm. The details of the conversation were not known to many aside from the people who were present. It was rumoured that the Raven approached Zoma to take his life for angering his employer who some believed it to be "The Union".
Eventually, the meeting was ended peacefully as the Raven instead decided to 'arrange' another meeting to meet with Zoma and left. Not long after, the crowd dispersed from the area leaving only their footprints on the snow to reflect the existence of the meeting._
-
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.
-
Rumor begins to spread through norwick of stange folk clad in black and green visiting norwick recently. The stangers have also been spotted south of the gate near the bear cave.
