Whispers at the Fire
-
rumours go around of Fires in Norwick a Mage, Rando and a broken staff all of which seems to be connected to Mystra. It was said a guard was killed by fire. Rando and Milshot were burnt and the mage was banished under pain of death
-
Rumours abound of a giant fish, 20 or 30' long, able to swallow a deer whole in one gulp swimming up the river from the lake and passing inside the walls before it turned and headed out again after taking it's fill…...

A lone man in a simple, brown robe has been seen near Norwick, wandering around the town, haveing some words with the commoners and the passing adventurers. His back is bended by a large pack, filled with pergamanes and little wooden barrels. He is asking around for some old friends of his…Zoma, his mentor Genzir, and a lady he can't name, but he calls her "Queen of Dresses"and grins without any reason.
He can be found mostly near the little lake, next to the South gate, murmuring words under his beard drawing on some tattered papers, and excerciseing his body, with long katas.

Upon hearing the rumours of the organized group of goblins fighting the undead, Ragnhild immidiately thinks of her goblin friend Grahk, who in her mind surely must be the leader of this group. She spends as much time as her restless nature allows on top of the tower near the south gate, hoping to catch a glimpse of the action and possibly join in the fun.
-
Rando gets the reports of 'strange and weird' noises coming from the Rawlins at night and turns to Milshot and says
" Better double the Guards at night and if this continues lock them during the night"
-
Rumor has it numerous dead bodies were found at the gates leading into the nars…
-
The rawlingswood has become more chaotic of late. Seems a group of organized goblins led by a rather large goblinw eilding an axe have taken the fight against the undead. The undead have retaliated in kind and atatcks in the woods have become more common. The Norwick gaurd report more odd sounds beyond the gates at night, prowling and growling with the occasional scratching. Adventurers investigating report several large swaths of Bugbear land purged of bugbears with no bodies in sight.
-
_Women in red and black are seen leading a small group of children into Norwick, then to the Shrine of the Dawn. Seems several tents have been set up for the children to stay in, which is quite the opposite of the plush home they had just come from. Rumor spreads that Jiyyd is being plauged wtih undead and the children will be staying at the Shrine until the threat is curbed.
Not seen entering the Shrine of the Dawn is Nicahh's adopted daughter, Sune, who was told to wait outside. She was seen shortly after heading north with the young girl, much to her protest of wanting to stay with the other children._

Rumors spred like wildfire about goblins once again attacking the southern gates. For those in town, or close to town the gong could be heard.
Locals allso mutter about some huge beetle like creature coming side by side with the goblins.
Luckily the few adventurers that was alerted by the gong were able to fend it off. Even the guards clapped and cheered their efforts the rumor has it.((Thank you DM Fyre, love those events! And this one I managed to live through aswell! (though more by luck, then skill!)))
-
A pale faced and bleary-eyed Ragnhild has returned to Norwick after an unprecendented drinking spree, brought about by homesickness and the current absence of her two favourite one-eyed men. She mopes on top of the south gate tower, her hair an even worse mess than usual and most of her belongings tattered or missing all together. If asked she mutters darkly about honourless thieves, but can't seem to recall any details about her supposed robbery. Coincidentally her vast collection of ales and spirits has also vanished…
-
A young man with a warhammer at his side has been wondering around Norwick, asking if there is any adventure. When he gets a no, he looks disappointed and walks off.
-
Dwin is seen walking around the town, glancing left and right and avoiding contact with anyone.
The stench of garlic is strong as soon as you are down-wind from him, and you can see that he now wears a necklace of garlic, and occasionally pops a whole head into his mouth and chews sloppily.
If anyone asks about his imprisonment or the ghouls that captured him, he grunts and walks away.
-
The remains of a large snow fortress can be seen near the crossroads in the Nars pass. Rumour has it a group of women constructed the fortress and promptly attacked both each other and innocent passers by with snowballs, before tearing most of the construction down when playing "Catch the Princess". The giggling group were later seen trotting off towards the Gypsy camp, still covered in snow.
-
Rumor spreads near Norwick that a group of adventurers rescued a dwarf from the bandit mines. It seems they were successful, though they were badly beaten and looked terribly ill. Some say it was undead within the caves and that the undead wanted to capture and turn the dwarf and adventurers into undead themselves. Though, many might not believe this.
-
Rumor spreads of a recent goblin attack at the south gate of Norwick. The defenders held their ground and lost only one to the hundreds of goblins that assailed them. The alarm at the north gate sounded during the battle and later those inspecting the area found the guards missing and signs of a recent battle. No bodies were found.
-
A pale elf in red robes is often seen sitting on the watchtower at the south gate. He seems to always have a mug in hand and several empty bottles nearby as he stares blankly at a thin leather bound folio. As travelers pass though, he does take time to greet them and politely remind them to close the gate before turning back to the folio.
-
A man, in blue robe was seen near the graveyard, bringing two big bags, and a corpse on his shoulders. He left bloody footprints on the ground, and had some deep cut wounds on his chest, but with some magic he managed to strenghten himself, and made his way to the temple…
After spending a day he left the temple with a bearded wizard-like man, known as Genzir, one member of the Lorekeeper society.
Some of the Jandor's guards accused him with lawbreaking, because of the unauthorized use of magic withn the city walls...
-
The young barbarian woman Ragnhild claims to have befriended a goblin by the name of Grahk. Though some may chalk this up to delusions caused by her current fast, there is no denying the fact that she sports a brand new toy: an impressive looking greataxe. Ragnhild speaks proudly of her new friend, claiming him to be both brave and honourable, though she seems to believe he has a lot more to learn about wrestling before he can best her.
((many thanks to Salsadoom - I had a real blast
))

There seems to have been a disturbance at the Shrine of Kelemvor. Hanadros, upon returning from Peltarch, is furious; to say the least.
-
Vrue is seen and encountered wandering around seeking news from whomever is willing to give it. He has been seen in Norwick talking to both druids and other folk. If encountered he asks mostly general questions but does not delve into private matters.
