Camp Bon Fire Rumors and Stories
-
Rumor has, Eve is restarting the Gypsy scouts, anyone interested should contact her.
-
_A young man is seen entering the Camp, joining the lass Eve and Attentus for quiet conversation.
Several hours later, he is seen leaving the Camp again, trying to control himself with snickers, as the word "Dolvak'd" is heard more than once. Once he makes the turn into the Pass, a hearty burst of laughter is heard._

When the rumour of the event makes its way back to Oreth by the fire, he scoffs
Uh huh. That was Bane. And if you peel my skin off, I'm actually made of solid farking gold.
I was there, he made his offers of power and wealth, and his threats, to me too.
No god is that bored, that stupid, that impotent, weak, or above all, that ridiculous.
Some Devil is getting above himself, maybe, or some Demon seeking to make Bane look ridiculous. Maybe next, he can get an incubus to dress up like Ilmater and they can set about to rutting in Peltarch Square.
Too Obvious?

Rumours spread that the Selunite Priestess Nyda has outdone herself in her most recent exploit. Upon finding a magical circle surrounded by staked corpses in the Pass, next to the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, she and a member of the black sails were confronted by a being that radiated pure malevolance and power. Laughing at their insignificance the being summoned a powerful creature to go and destroy Norwick. Giving chase they were joined by others and destroyed the beast just outside Norwick. The being, whose power felt to be that of a deity, summoned another that was slain just inside Jiyyd. After much taunting and argument with the deity, who was revealed to be Bane, or at least claimed to be and had the power to back it up, summoned a third more powerful version that slew a pair of helmites in Jiyyd before being slain.
Bane caused great wounds on several of the people around the Circle during this, though seemed unable to hurt Nyda when he tried. They spoke in both common and infernal, though none of Nyda's answers seemed to please the self-proclaimed Dark Lord until she threatened to put him over her knee and spank some sense into him. This amused him and he took her away for a private chat. Whatever the result of this he then left for good the magic circle fading. Throughout she denied his right to take anyones free will, and refused repeatedly to bow or kneel to him.
Though he did appear to her again outside Jiyyd and confirm that his thrice refused offer to her stood if she ever tired of mortal men.

It seems a strange thing occured. Two people, a blonde elf and a hooded and veiled woman disappeared into thin air right from the public fires. They later reappeared in the inside of the camp and were chatting about something. For a short while an object was also displayed, what it was and what they were talking about might often just be referred to as a prophecy.
-
Lilin seems somewhat jealous
-
Jonni is seen a lot more often near the tree… practicing cutting up combat dummy after combat dummy, and rarely if ever sleeping.
-
A man is seen entering the Tree where Jeni has been sleeping late at night…. slipping out quietly just at dawn.
Funny, her steps seem a little lighter these days, and her smile a little brighter.
-
tala looks especially worn of late. It seems she is burning the candle at both ends. It is often hard to tell if the smudges under her eyes are darker than the smudges on the fingers on her right hand. She is often seen rubbing the hand while awake and is always drinking strong dark tea. She spends some time with the children, but often asks Star or Sarah to watch them while she naps. Most nights after putting the children to bed she can be seen leaving the camp. If asked to where she mutters something about research
-
It is said that there was a fair and honest duel between a Banite wizard and a paladin at the crossroads. The paladin died, while the Banite remained nearly unscathed.
-
Rumors spread that Penny was seen walking south toward Sam's Hill from Peltarch with a paintbrush in one hand, a bucket of paint in the other, and a smile on her face, all while singing a happy tune about days gone by.
-
_Recently, Lycka being more aware of her surroundings as she gets older, she can be seen humming the familiar tunes that Ocean had sung in the concert days ago.
Considering that Lycka has a good pair of strong lungs which is honed through screaming and crying, her joyful baby hums could be heard throughout the Gypsie camp forest._

As the dawn light creeps through the trees many sleepy Rom, Gali and visitors slowly make their way to their beds following a very successful Concert and Festival. Ocean is looking doubly smug, though triply tired, as her songs all went down well, and she also won the story competition. She thanks all who came, congratulates the helmed man some call Alexi and some Aris on winning the Archery contest and totters off to collapse into bed.
-
A small woman wearing black and red was ween walking in and out of Cera's Tree. She was followed both times by Alexi and Ramona. They were calling out her name… Elridith, but there was no response and the name only seemed to anger her.

_Of those Romani who were rescued from the Cold Caves after being ambushed by Ogres, many have taken to crafting fine looking wares within the camp itself and reworking much of what was for sell before. It is rumored that quite a few are skilled with leathers in particular though prone to odd color choices.
Though many are not sure why, tensions amongst the full blooded Romani seem to be increasing, driving a number to leave the camp entirely with little to no words said. For every one that leaves however, it seems another two come into the pass, and are willing to stick around for awhile. The late night talking sections by the fires after chores seem to be increasing more into talk of other things besides the Romani, and a lot of the Gali seem to notice that they are keeping more coin from the few card games they have been playing. Gaje of course lose as often as ever, though that appears to be because they have no more sense then ever.
Minor construction of some kind appears to be going on in three places, though the Romani are quick to shoo away onlookers. The Communal tree is gathering a large pile of dirt outside of it, as is the Earth Rammed Nook, and furniture is seen going into and then out both. Also there is some kind of work that was beginning on the north east cliff wall but that appears to be stalling as if the stone cutters are unsure if they are even supposed to be continuing on it or not.
The reported growling noises from the pass seem to be coming from a number of cats that have taken up a home in the caves there, and are multiplying in numbers from all reports, and vague rumors that the ogres have completely changed tactics and spells have many on edge as they try to figure out who has been training them lately.
A whispered name begins to be attached to the caves.. more so then the drow were before. The name.. Vaxin Roe._
-
A group returns from the cold caves with a name on their tounge
"Vaxin Roe…"
-
Four people and a mephit go into the woods, looking for a cauldron. A while later they return sans the mephit. Three remain for a moment at the fire, talking of fate or fates and three and tests.

_Ever since the incident with the shadows, Zoma appears to look much more calmer, focused. He is often found meditating quietly at the fire or practicing his swordsmanship with a dummy doll whenever the camp is at its peaceful moment.
People who were familiar with Zoma in adventuring together with him would find his swordsmanship to have evolved differently. His strokes are much more tamed and calm, his swings are much more swift and elegant than one filled with brutish strength. His swordplay retains its unpredictable nature, but yet seemingly to be looking natural like it is part of nature itself.
Zoma seems to be taking a different route of swordsmanship than many had taken in the land of Narfell._

_Just recently, a violent battle had taken place in the inner part of the camp between a group of Guardians and Sisterhood members against a peculiar powerful mage in the mining caves of the camp.
It happened while the Guardians and the Sisterhood were busy aiding the camp in providing the much needed security by patrolling and guarding'objects of importance', whatever they may be protecting within the cave. The mage was assumed to be attempting to steal that particular object in the cave.
The commotion in the cave eventually shifts its place outside, a massive battle taking place nearby the bridge that led to the gnoll territory. Gali guards witnessed the scene of the mage attempting to flee to the gnoll lands but only to be subdued by a swordswoman, Sara before he could escape.
Later, people witnessed the mage being bounded with all of his fingers dislocated and tied around the human face rock dislocated being questioned by Jonni.
Not long after, another round of commotion occured leaving a group of severely injured Guardians and Sisters lying around the dead mage.
The body of the mage was last seen being beheaded and disposed of down the deep rifts of the camp by one of the Gali guards._

_At times, Arandor can be seen seeking whatever escape from the babies as he can, usually sneaking off to Star's tent to get a quiet moment away from it all. Taking a little 'too' long in collecting firewood and hunting food for his family, other times joining campers in their patrols, as well as the Guardians, whoever seems to not mind his company…
It isn't long before he's caught and ushered back home by his daughter Sarah, time and time again, but not before making him feel a little guilty for it._
