Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
Vincent can be heard muttering something about "never trusting sails" before retiring to the church.
-
_Word is, the Sisters have been getting together around the Soul Well lately, chanting strage things and even singing to it.
Funny part is, even though the Well seems to be getting riled up at first, by the time they leave, it's as tame as a babe. People are starting to wonder what they're up to._
-
_Rumor has it that a Zhentarim ship sailing in with a massive cargo got attacked by a group of would-be pirates the other day. The priests on the Zhent ship took the word of Bane to them, and now that so called pirate ship, and everyone in it, is lying at the bottom of the Icelake.
The Zhents are pretty pissed about the attack, and they're looking for answers._
-
The well hiccups again, producing what looked like some sort of mind flayer and a number of nasty critters, followed by some much weaker undead.
After the troubles calmed down, thanks to a number of Sails, a Banite and a few others, Lady Merovech of the Tribunal arrived to assess the situation. Those nearby who overheard what she said to the group talk of some coming battle, for the safety of the city.
-
An entourage of ladies in long flowing obsidian gowns, all of them hooded, save one woman with long black hair, and eyes that seemed to be looking into a man, rather than at him, are seen passing through Oscura, heading to the Temple of the Caverns. Left behind in their path are men, and some women, pulsing with desire for several minutes before slowly coming back to themselves and resuming their daily work.

It as come to KULL´s ears that Corde as eard the true rummors about KULL´s death at the gate of Oscura by the hands of this Gnome, and that Corde as ,in some way, understood that kull acusation of "cowardess" was directed to the citizens of Oscura.
Kull Frowns deeply at such rummors and makes sure to tell every one that might be around him, that the acusation of cowardess were NOT directed to the citizens of Oscura nor he in some way said that the Gnomes lived in Oscura or were Oscura Citizens… These acusations by KULL were directed plain and simple to the dark gnomes that iniciated the sneack attack on a group of Jyiid citizens and a legion party.
As a final note, kull tells to the ones around him to spread the word that KULL is available for any meeting face to face with Corde so he could personally explain what happend in the day when a Legion party and few friends followed a group of dark gnomes all the way till oscura.
Such meting could happend in Jyiid or in Oscura.Kull did not comented Corde´s legion acusation of @7425ff75d8:
…TIME, and time again, the Legion has insults...ignored...and completely spat upon the rights, rules, and traditions of our city...
and possible death threat @7425ff75d8:
…and I promise you, simple death like the gnome delivered will be sweet....
prefering to discuss this seriouse acusation and threats, personally with Corde or any other representativ of Oscura.

Corde frowns deeply at this and makes it a point to find Kull, or any other legionare, on thier apparent many travels to Oscura that give them the oppertunity to hear such rumors and to make Kull's message of cowardess so well known.
Over, and over again, the Legion have been told of the proper procedures to air greiveances with Oscura, or those withi nit. TIME, and time again, the Legion has insults…ignored...and completely spat upon the rights, rules, and traditions of our city. We here in Oscura have gone out of our way a number of times to work with the Legion when issue that regard members of our city have came up.
It is not the legions place, right, or ability to deter ANYONE from entering, or exiting our city. To do so could in some cases simply be seen as an act of war, as you are hindering our population and promoting an aura of terror about our citizenship.
Since you're messangers seem to relay information so well, relay this. Tell Grag that this is the final time that his group will insult us while some of us here go out of thier way to accomadate the general at times. If such happens again, do not expect any aid or understanding to be shown. Perform such a foolish, ignorant, and arrogant act again…and I promise you, simple death like the gnome delivered will be sweet.
-
A few of the guards reiterate that blocking the gnome's way out would be considered a threatening move, and one who was there also states that the gnome seemed to be cooperating until that point.

Such rumors have come to KULL´s ears. When asked if these rumors have anytruth, KULL nods and confirms the Facts.
He also starts telling to those who might be around him when he is confirming such rumors, that the ones who drew first blood where the Gnomes that have iniciated their cowardly attack just out side Jyyi´d gate and such attack was not provoked by non of the ones gathered out side jyyid, he also says that the gnomes wear black and purple colors in their armors and/or robes, and he prooves his statments by showing one of the armors taken from a fallen dark Gnome. (//he has one of their armors)When asked about what bussiness had the legion goin till Oscura, KULL answers that after the (//and kull says it again) Cowardly attack by the dark gnomes in plain day light, one or two of these Gnomes excaped and ran all the way till Oscura gates to hide them selfs there.
After few other dark gnomes attacked the legion right in front of that long bottomless bridge, this Strange looking Gnome showed up and asked the legion about what were they doing there, KULL also confirms that this Gnome did indeed sayd to the legion to dont come any closer to him..
KULL also makes sure to make everyone understand clearly that this gnome was in no way assaulted, insulted, threatned, forced to da anything against his will, attacked, not even touched by ANY of the legion members. His only way out, wich was the gate of Oscura, was simply shut close to prevent any possible excape from this Gnome or any other attack from the dark Gnomes.
Kull also says that the legion intent was not to attack the Gnome or hurt him, but mearly to enquire about these dark gnomes and the reason why they have started to attack Jyyid citizens.
in a final word to finish his side of the story, KULL honestly says to those around him that this gnome has over reated, and made a precipatated reaction.

The abbess of the Monestary of the Iron Fist is heard using the Legionnaire as am example in her lessons; a treatise on knowing your limits and the consequences of arrogance.
-
If asked, the guards at their posts at the time will say that the halforc Legionaire was warned but decided to try blocking the gnome's way anyway. They chuckle about how easily he fell to the gnome's spell, the gnome being one quarter the halforc's size.
-
A battle is reported having taken place just outside the gates of Oscura, between some unknown gnomes and a group of Legion members, the latter later joined by a few Black Sails. Though victorious in battle, one of the Legion dropped dead on the spot right at the gates, after confronting a gnome mage. The Black Sails entered the city afterwards, while the Legion returned to Jiyyd to raise the fallen.

A Helmite watcher has been seen poking his head in some of the tunnels outside the West Gate, On his return from one such occasion he stopped and spoke with Tommy and Drorry asking them if they know anything of a mysterious little girl and also asked where their families were
-
A helmed man with torch is seen looking poking around in the under dark looking for some gnome. Later on he goes to speak to Rob handing him a message
-
_A small group of Sails went into the caves, they and a knight in shining armor mention a rather strong activity of the kuo toa there. The reason for that seem entirely in the dark.
Later a similar group of Sails is seen chatting with an almost paranoid man in the inn. For those observing more closely it seems the man was mostly interested in the sole female member of that group.
Again a while later, spiders drop from the ceiling of the cave, and that group of Sails is seen fleeing the city, fighting a path through the spiders, leaving a trail of corpses behind._

The last couple of days, Ezachiel has hardly been seen in Oscura, and when he was, he did not wear any Banite symbols or vestments.
-
Rumour has it that a dead quaggoth was found in the middle of the road leading south from Peltarch, a bit southeast of Oscura…it looked like it had in a fight, covered in burns and cutting wounds.

The Inquisitor is seen leading a small group of men, clad in Norwick guard armor, into Oscura. With them is a small cart, with what appears to be someone's belongings, and a man, that some may recognized as the former Chancellor of Norwick, him bound and gagged. Needless to say, the sight raised a few eyebrows as she made her way to her house below the city.
-
Rumor has it a man in dark leathers went to the west gates and shortly after sounds of spells and cries of pain could be heard. Later the same dark leathered man could be seen being escorted by one of the guards muttering somthing and badly wounded
-
A group of sails entered Oscura, carrying two corpses of their own with them, one of their fallen was quickly restored to life, even as a rather large group of sails assembled in the docks. They later left in smaller groups, a few even in an almost good mood. They later returned to bring a huge number of white pelts to Father Dagon. Whether it was a quest required of them so he would return their second fallen companion or payment for a partiuclarly difficult healing or just a simple mission only those delivering would know.
