Rumors of the Valley

    @6e713c9a97=Skeet:

    With the permission of Theaon Thorn, some seasoned and well disciplined Norwick Redcloaks are seen aiding the Silver Valley guards in an attempt to augment their own town's defenses.

    _Captain Dietrick followed by ten fully armed dragoons walk to each Norwick Redcloak, rounds them up, then politely sees and escorts them out of the valley.

    Dietrick says:
    "The valley danks Norwick fer da good will but we kin handle our own valley. Theaon also says he never agree to havin norwick redcloaks inside da valley. If Norwick and Dwin reallie wants good terms, Dietrick suggest mebbe buildin respect first is gud idea. Declaring da valley as part of da realm, dat us ere' are his subjects, or sending in his troops into da valley on unfound claims dats a councilor said so is prolly not da best way to do dis…"_

    Future orders have also been given by the Captain himself down to the dragoons that, without word given first by the councilors, Norwick Redcloaks exceeding the number of four are no longer allowed to freely enter the valley at once unless there are special circumstances.



  • Lately, Merial has been seen bringing loads of wood to the Valley and spending much of her time in the forge. Anyone who asks will find out she is learning the art of bowcrafting

    Dietrick approaches her and asks her what the matter is about…

    Marty, a semi-regular visitor to the Valley, rides into town in great haste. Her pony Bane's Bane pants and splutters as if she has been driven hard in order to get to the Valley in a hurry. She quickly dismounts and begins looking urgently for Ginger or any other member of the council.

  • Silver Dragoons of the Silver Valley notice Devlin and Dwin walking through the valley. The foreigners are treated as guests, and clearly do not bow and scrape as 'subjects' of the Norwickian's 'realm'.

    ((After the short brawl, Z had only moments to gather the key and tools before a group of locals chased him out of town. :spank: ((Gotta love faction issues - or was it a DM? :lol:))

    ((No idea whether its factions or a dm. Those were hin fist disciple dragoons btw.))



  • *Rumors of a nasty brawl after the Harvest Moon Festival mar an otherwise perfect event.

    After a long discussion between crafters Benji and Z became a heated argument, Benji was seen throwing his Crafters Union key in the dirt. :x

    When, after more words were exchanged, Benji kicked the Union key away, the normally mild mannered Z completely lost his temper and kicked Benji…several times. :pissed: :matrix:

    After the short brawl, Z had only moments to gather the key and tools before a group of locals chased him out of town. :spank: ((Gotta love faction issues - or was it a DM? :lol:))

    Despite his haste, Z was spotted apologizing to Captain Dietrick as he left town.*



  • Rumor's spread through the valley that Atel Spear - who was a former council member has returned to narfell and discovered the new silver valley after almost twelve years. Though she has been away long, she appears to have almost not aged at all except in her eyes, which now show more wisdom than was previously there.



  • A strange sight was witnessed the other day in the Valley, a pair of tallies and a hin were playing at the water's edge, throwing one another in and seemingly having a lot of fun.

    They stayed for several hours, and enjoyed the finest of the foods the bakers had to offer, before departing at nightfall.

    A pair of hin are seen wandering the valley. The two seem to be brother and sister and look to be around the same age. It is rumored that they belonged to an entertainers troupe that recently disband. The pair are said to have applied for citizenship within the Valley.

    Dietrick who resides in the valley points them in the direction of Councilor Ginger Tealeaf.

    Dietrick spreads word in the valley of Perin Highfold's noble spirit, that the halfling merchant who currently operates in the Peltarch markets paid for the skulls of innocents including a hin so Dietrick may give the skull owners proper burial. Dietrick recommends sales be made to this fellow 'comrade' should any venture up to the city.



  • Theaon Thorn is seen entering the Silver Valley with the body of a fallen hin over his shoulder. Word spreads that the hin is a priest of Yondalla who was found slain under Mintas Rhelgor. Theaon announces that a service will be held for the fallen hin in the near future.



  • Marie Scuttlestone, known to her friends as Scuttle, brings word of a possible threat to valley folk.

    Miss Marty told me that she encountered, and killed, an oversize kobold who was dragging two dead gnomes behind it. This was up near Peltarch, and the bodies haven't been recovered yet.

    Maybe we should send someone up to do that? If any of the gnomes here are missing kin, this might be where they are, unfortunately.

    And what about the risk to other folk? Perhaps this needs more investigating…

    The distinct stench of burnt human waste follows a beaten and battered Benji to the bath house.

    _Parsley notices the tourist, so he and his young son Marshmallow try to engage him in conversation.

    "H> Soo..new here?"_



  • Raúl keeps spending lot of time around the valley, and tries to find out how to be a citizen of the valley, he's usually seen helping other hins in their everyday's duties when he finds nothing better to do

    –Drunken Benji Tells Another Tale--

    burp
    _What do you mean 'What's all that shite all over you?' It's spider guts!

    <g>Fark me</g>

    You should have seen the size of it too. A cow? No. Bigger. No, bigger yet. I mean the size of the whole inn here. You know what? The size of a tallie inn._
    drunken nodnod and takes another swig
    _That big.

    And I killed it too! Well, no. Not by myself. I had help. The queen was sitting there in her big throne room and we all charge at it. Everyone starts cutting off it's legs and spider plates and all that.

    But THEN!_

    slams his half empty glass of ale down on the table for dramatic emphasis

    The queen got mad and called in all her little baby spiders. AND THEY'RE NOT LITTLE EITHER!!! THOSE… are the cow sized ones.
    nodnod
    _That's right. Thirty or forty of them. All running at us screaming like little girls.

    <g>Shite.</g>

    What do you mean 'Why were they screaming at us like little girls?' Because THAT'S WHAT <g>FARKING</g> COW SIZED <g>FARKING</g> SPIDER MONSTERS SOUND LIKE!_
    shivers and takes a long swig of ale
    What did I do? We couldn't retreat … so ... I ran THROUGH them!
    pauses to let the bar flies bask in his courageous glory

    I ran right though that swarm of spiders kicking them and punching them and I kept loading and shooting at that big fat queen until FINALLY I found a weak spot. It was right on the back of its head… or ... maybe that was its neck... well... it was this squishy looking thing. So I SHOT it.

    walks his hand around on the table like a spider then slams his other fist down on it
    And the queen just stopped and fell over dead. DEAD!

    throws back the rest of his ale

    That's why I'm covered in spider guts.

    waves the barkeep over for another ale
