NORWICK IS OVERTAKEN!
-
A crowd gathers as Dwin announces the banishment of a man clad in black armor. He was dubbed a traitor, but little else was said regarding the banishment. Said man clad in black armor can often be seen pacing the barriers of his restricted area.
-
_The saurial criminal from norwick, whose scales were green and some bronze, and happened to be carrying no weapons, turned himself in to one Dwin Dolvak, the militia captain, Who happened to be wearing his helmet and speaking to three persons.
Nearby the Magistrate Shannon, and Senator Mariston stood, speaking to each other.
The vile criminal was sentenced to help free norwick, and remove any evil within it.
It was also snowing that day. And nighttime._
-
Information is quickly spread, whenever such conversation is brought up, that Corana had long been a citizen and a common figure around Peltarch and unless she was deaf and dumb, would have known the VERY commonly known rule of Peltarch Law that fleeing arrest is admission of ones guilt
-
Word eventually reaches southward that Corana Lyonsen was found guilty of kidnapping and torture, given sentences of ten years for each charge by Magistrate Shannon. Rumor has it that she was not given a trial, as her initial reluctance to turn herself in was deemed fleeing from arrest, a charge which is deemed an automatic admission of guilt.
-
A bit of a commotion happened in the camp, when the guard of Peltarch/lizardfolk/Paladin of Tyr Steelfin beat down and arrested the guard of Norwick/human/Priestess of Umberlee Corana. A furious Dwin led a group in persuit as Steelfin invisibly carried the unconcious Corana north. Whatever this will mean for the joined forces remains to be seen, but most around the camp and warzone agree that the paladin's zeal was inappropriate, and an act of sheer idiocy, considering the state of the war and Corana's capabilities.
-
Mercy has been loitering about the refugee camp, reminding the victims of Norwick of the scent of the sea and explaining to them, by her mere presence why they don't live in Peltarch. While she takes a stompy turn about the camp, she draws aside several Norwick Guardsmen conspiratorially, asking them if they think that "Field-Marshall" Dwin might benefit from a splash of lusty relaxation in her naval boudoir to take his mind off his current troubles - and also, fix his back. Current dress options include both livid sea green and urchin pink mini-skirts. The Priestess of Umberlee is undecided on which to wear for her seductive task.
-
Mord can be seen moving from the southern contruction to the north of the refugee camp. He spends some time with the guard but is often away with the new construction. He listens Diligently to Kresha's reports on activity on the road to the north and can be seen heading north a ways with ner now and then only to return a few hours later and leaving her on guard. Fairly often he is in fairly close discussion with Dwin and speaks with the Chancellor when he can
-
Calendel, Advisor to the Chancellor and Town Healer of Norwick, has been seen collecting all offered medical supplies and stocking a tent with them. Near and inside the tent he has setup some temporary cots for ill refugees needing care. Tristina and Kia are running around taking care of the ill and wounded and handing out rations to those most in need.
-
_Aelthas watches the supplies being brought in, no emotion apparent on his face. He leans over to the blond woman in Romani armor that is at his side most times and whispers something to her.
She is seen running off quickly and gathering a few volunteers, directing the wagons and others who carry the much needed supplies to the hill across from Sam's hill.
Two guards are set to watch the supplies, some volunteers are set to give out whatever is needed for the people in the camp and even more run off with hatchets, returning later with logs of wood, which over the next day or two, turn into small fences surrounding the supplies on the hills.
Guards are seen around the clock, watching the supplies, even healthy refugees who are willing, being used in the daylight hours to keep watch.
Aelthas then stands on the hill, looking down a moment before calling for everyones attention._
With permission from your Chancellor, I have given my Captain, Mira, ::motions to the blond woman beside him:: the duty of seeing that these rations are given to all who need them, the medical supplies distributed to our healers to tend to any sick and wounded.
It seems we will most likely be getting constant shipments of supplies for the time being, but that may change and as such, we will need to ration what we have.
Everyone will recieve three meals a day, water, bread, stew, whatever medical attention they need. If you feel that you need something extra, simply talk to Mira and she will be glad to help you in any way possible.
He just walks off the hill then, occasionally stopping to talk to some guards, whether they be the few Romani that have come with him, the Norwick guards left behind or the volunteers guards, giving them a pat on the shoulder or shaking their hands and telling them they are doing a great job.
-
The archdruid is frequently found in the refugee camp. Rarely lifting a sword as much as stitching torn tents and clothes, watching children while mothers cook, sometimes bringing her own daughter (who, like many other her age, seems to think this is the greatest adventure imaginable), or simply sitting on the rock in the crossroads and listening to whoever will talk with her. Several times a day a raven flies up from the south to her shoulder and the two wander off to talk.
-
_Supplies slowly flow into the refugee camp as the days pass. In one of the first of many, the Chancellor, Elridith, Genzir, Kresha and other norwick guard provide escort for Edmund the slaad as he wheels a large cart filled with medical supplies, food, alekegs, blankets and tents from Peltarch. Jerr and other Romani are seen bringing more foodstuffs from the camp on a regular basis helping to keep the people healthy and in relatively good spirits.
A modest number of norwick guard stand watch over the crossroads, and for the most part, it seems Aelthas from the camp has indeed taken it upon himself to oversee the defense of the camp while Norwick commanders led by Colonel Dwin move the bulk of their forces into the southern valley. The Norwick guard seem reluctant to to follow the orders of "the boy" for the first few days, but in time as Pink and Black are seen fighting along side the Redcloaks to cut down the last of the hobgoblins plaguing the camp. The results speak for themselves. Whatever bad blood existed between the two forces seems to be fading fast with most Redcloaks refering to Aelthas as "The gypsy Commander" by the end of a tenday._
-
A grizzled old Hin known as Yarchum arrives at the refugee camp as soon as the word on Zoma's condition reaches him in the Guardian Sanctuary. Although sharing Arvoreen's blessings and healing amongst the needy refugees, he mostly concentrates on getting his Guardian brother back to full health and spirit.
-
After the occupation of Norwick by the dragon forces, travelers of the road going North from the refugee camp towards Peltarch have been heard gossiping about being stopped outside the camp by a Norwick female militia recruit. Most accounts seem to describe a good sized lass bristling with crossbow quivers and carrying a slim dark blade seemingly walking out of nowhere and politely requesting the papers, names, and business of each individual in the group.
-
Dwin instructs his guards to remove those banners and bring them to him.
The last thing I need right now is some false-Tarien tryin to come back and confuse things. If ya see the lad that put these up, tell him to come speak to me.
-
Two banners flutter in the wind near to where the heavily armoured man stood. To those who know, they are of Tarien and Franklin
-
The small and pale figure of Elissa can be seen from time to time, passing through the camp and handing out wine or spirits to those willing to listen to her strange way of seeing things. Mainly she offers instructions on her own way to prevent further, unnecessary suffering. But she's not above giving away little trinkets that are said to ward of misfortune. She's also more than willing to accept donations for the church of Beshaba.
-
_Hiram's been seen carrying fur coats for the refugees from the gypsy camp. He has been passing these to the unfortunate Norwickians in the refugee camp to alleve the cold and to rise spirits. Adventurers with ample clothing for the harsh Nars surroundings are being handed cloaks as well, to aid them in their vigor to stay alert during their watch over the small campment.
The scent of spidereye soup rises in the small dale near Sam's point._
-
Elyl has been looking throughout the camp trying to find Kia, asking any he sees if they've seen the healer. Although he has heard word that she was seen alive after the fall of Norwick, he has been unable to find her.
He also is seen standing watch on the hill or patroling along the ridge to make sure that no enemies sneak in to cause any havoc.
-
Lilin was seen exchanging brief word with the chancellor, rumor has he walked away looking upbeat, and Lilin left quickly
-
Jeremy has been seen in the refugee camp a couple of times, checking to see if Zoma is still breathing. He seems to have little care about anyone else there.
