Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
A certain elf (Anar) can be seen making introduction to the Oscuran officials… looking for something she can forward Oscura's efforts...
-
Rumor has it that the feint glow of candle light seems to be viewable from the tower of one of the long ago tribunals in the undercity. People haven't been in and out of there in years could it be haunted?
-
A knight of gold and crimson would be occasionally seen speaking with the local Rothe's keeper, oft leaving with a bottle filled with a deep red fluid tucked away beneath a cloak.
That same knight might later be seen by the docks, arguing with some of the 'specialty' vendors.
-
Sergeant Alvi is seen browsing the Ocsucan Library for any ideas how to quell the voices in her head. Alas, it seems the Oscuran library does not hold such tombs.
-
Rumour has it that a group of surfacers came down to Oscura and clustered down by the Well.
What they were doing, stories vary. But shortly after lights appeared and creatures appeared. A guard wizard managed to bring it all under control, and before disappearing he gave the group of surfacers several strong words, involving "disintegrate" and other expletives.
Shortly after this a large scream echoed around the Forbidden City for a few minutes.
-
A proven sister of Mask is heard to have returned after a numerous tenday absence, likely caused from the horrid demonic war in Peltarch. Whispers mull around that she is looking for a group of thieves to strike Peltarch in a series of thefts while the city's defenses are weakened and recovering.
// If anyone is wanting to do this, either as a PC thing or an NPC DM event, please PM me!
-
A shadowy robed figure entered the local temple, turning right and going to the shrine of thieves. Others who had remained in the faith and area for a few years recognized the young clergy member… it would seem the Lord of Thieves' presence would be increased once more in these lands.
-
Rumour has it that the Kyzanos family have managed to secure a large Thayan supplier of slaves from the hands of the Sakhmet family. While the details of what brought this on are not known, it will certainly adjust the balance of power between these two houses.
-
Frances looks interrested somewhat when she hears about auction.
-
Rumours of an upcoming auction hosted by the Black Sails reach Oscura via the docks. While few specifics are yet known, it's suggested that anyone favouring skill and finesse over brute strength will find a multitude of high quality items available - for the right price.
-
Chaevre' is heard inquiring about purchasing property in Oscura and about opening a kiosk in the docks to sell merchandise
((Dunno which dm to contact for Oscura housing. If someone can let me know i would appreciate it))
-
Freelancing thief in Oscura his name starts witha a D
-
Chaevre' has been seen in the Oscuran trade hall asking for any miners who are able to mine Onyx gems to contact her
-
A group of adventurers is seen leaving the Keep of the Fallen, after several hours within, doing the Gods know what. They apparently spoke with someone called "The Vizier" about new business opportunites that may arise. Who this Vizier is or where he's from is unknown, but one thing's for certain: While he was there, the otherwise haunted tower was pretty much devoid of life. Ehr… Unlife.
-
A troll, or more likely someone poly-morphed into a troll was seen carrying a large piece of cargo or equipment wrapped in a tarp onto the Leviathan. Once across the gang plank, the mysterious item was tied up and slowly lowered down through the cargo hatch via the overhead pulleys.
About a day later, a glorious looking and freshly painted cannon was raised back through the cargo hatch.
For those that frequent the crumbling docks… They would have observed the Leviathan's carpenter doing several days of meticulous work building a rotating and uncovered turret to hold the beastly deck gun.
Anyone who knows ship building or siege construction and gets a chance to look at the cannon up close. Would notice that the amount of force the turret is built to restrain is, very significant. Much more so than for any other traditional cannon of this size.
Rumours amongst the other Oscuran ship crews and dock workers begin to circulate, that this cannon is not of this world.
Once work on the cannon is fully completed, it thereafter remains securely covered with a tarp.
-
The Leviathan was out of port for a while.. Almost a couple weeks again.
Upon Leviathans return the owners and guests departed the ship. Everyone disembarking with the thousand yard stare, that says I've just been to hell and I'm exhausted.
-
These days Cray spends most of his time on the Leviathan, basically taking up full time residency there.
He can often be seen from the crumbling docks as he putters about the deck and rigging. Sometimes even retiring to the crow's nest with a cigar and brandy.
For those that spend a considerable amount of time in the docks, they would observe or overhear that Cray runs a tight ship, he is a stickler for rules, procedures and principles. But as long as the ship remains up to spec, spick and span. Cray is otherwise easy going with the crew, encouraging them to enjoy themselves and treating them as valuable employees.
It has also been rumoured amongst the sailing crowd, that Cray has been overheard talking excitedly about the subject of black-powder canons… The Leviathan is currently not outfitted with such, but it could be something Cray is contemplating?
((Any PC tinkerers, engineers, or smiths could perhaps profit from approaching Cray and broaching the canon subject with him.))
-
_The Leviathan was out of port for almost two weeks.
Shortly after her docking back in Oscura, the ships owners disembarked and headed for the Shiny Coppers.
The Leviathan crew stayed on board for sometime after the ships return. Conducting routine maintenance and re-supply. The next day however, the crew is seen throwing some coin around town and heard taking about a trip to the Moonsea._
-
Alvaniel Danicen is seen moving between the local drinking establishments having a drink or two and then moving on… she seems intent to listen to the local gossip and see who is present.
-
Cray has been asking around Oscura about Teresa Smith… He alludes she's wanted for questioning, but he won't say regarding what.
Cray has offered a thousand gold for information regarding her whereabouts.
