3. Rumors heard throughout Oscura.

Rumors heard throughout Oscura.


  • _The Maskite Initiate in the Temple of Caverns mentions to any of his faith who should enter his sanctuary that the dark-haired Banite cleric, Zanetar, and an admirably sneaky red-headed female companion of his, entered the sanctuary to the Lord of All Thieves days earlier looking for His faithful.

    Should they display interest in what the Imperceptor wanted, they are directed to the Banite sanctuary just down the hall._


  • Nicahh hears about her banishment from the Mithril Mug and simply chuckles.

    That little fat dwarf has him a temper there. And before he goes bashing other establishments perhaps he should check with his patrons. Because it was my understanding that they had destroyed the Shiny Copper's property.

    Nicahh attempts to play nice and sends Thor a gift basket filled with fruitcakes and a variety of nuts.


  • Mirkali notes the job descrption, and grins a bit, he leaves a note with the owner of his interest, and being a known brew connisieur, and even a brew importer from outside lands


  • A blustered Thor, barkeeper of the Mithril Mug was seen storming out of the pub brandishing his fists and muttering curses. Supposedly dwarves associated with his pub had been accused of causing devastation in the "Shiny Copper" breaking chairs, singing and groping "Mary". Thor claims this is clearly a cheap stunt from the Purple Lotus to badmouth his business, as no respecting dwarf would set foot in his establishment. Also he adds, boisterous singing, and wenching is natural behaviour within a pub and if they aren't up for the task they should not be selling brews in the first place. He is heard claiming the "Shiny Copper" is ran like a "ladies knittin' club"

    Nichaa is ban from entering the Mithril Mug.

    Job vacancy

    Mithril Mug has just finished their first patch of Ale brewed, and is trying to hire samplers.

    For 100gp an hour, Thor is looking for people prepared to taste the newly brewed ale and write up their opinion.

    Blithering Idiot

    Blithering Idiot is a perfect golden color and has an ample head that falls slowly. Whiffs of light malt commingle with the grassy hop aroma. The flavor is light in intensity but long in character. It starts with a smooth malt note but quickly moves into the light but crisp hop makeup that is lemony and grassy.

    Digger

    This hearty, mahogany colored ale is brewed to evoke the dark, full-bodied ales that were a favorite of stoneworkers and miners (hence the name "Digger"). This is a smooth and very drinkable beer, characterized by its well-balanced malt and hops.

    Old Brown Dog

    Old Brown Dog has been cited as a classic example of the "Dwarven Brown Ale" style of beer. Compared to a human made Brown Ale, Old Brown Dog is fuller-bodied and more strongly hopped.

    Madam Rosebud

    For 250gp a night you can truly experience the fullest of Dwarven hospitality as she is quite prepared to embrace any traveler with open arms and bosom. She is a kind and motherly character, but does not do charity, and your gold will be handed over upfront. Once paid she will do everything from stroking your beard and call you her lill miner, to giving you the tunneling experience of your life. (And yes, you are allowed to wear your miners-helm)

  • ?

    If one travels below the upper level of Oscura to the undercity. They can see Cray Vincint down there often. Cray chats with the various merchants, showing intrest in the goods from the far east and their history. Cray also spends many an hour quietly reading and smoking his cigars, in the Oscura town hall.

  • E

    A man with reddish hair, and deep blue eyes can often be seen sitting in the Shiny Coppers just watching their fire seeming not to notice anything else around him until someone approaches, so still at times that he seems that he isn't even breathing.

    Unlike several or many in the city(which ever the case may be) he doesn't seem as intent on hiding his face.


  • Huddled in the corners, people whisper that the new Inquisitor was showing two men about the town. Both worn helms over the features and carried broad shields. Warriors, plainly. But why, and who were the mean garbed in raiment of green plate?


  • The Templar seems to give an approving nod when people speak of the new inquisitor, stating he supports her appointment fully and that few if any would be more apt to aquire scyth's former place upon the tribunal.


  • Seen often around the City is a man named Sil. He openly shows his faithfulness to Bane and is frequently seen in the temple praying. He doesnt talk much except to state his loyalty to Bane, Lord Gedder and the Banite Church.


  • People who frequent the monastery will notice that Keira has taken up residence there. When not training herself or other students, she can be seen in the temple or sitting in quiet contemplation of the Well.


  • ::A heavily armored Clayton Hocke was seen leaving the shiney coppers looking a bit less discontented then the usual. He was heard commenting coldly, if not politely, about a waitresses fine work and notable quality. He then made his way past the well, adjusting a metal gauntlet and walking out of town into the nars::


  • Jario of the Shiney Coppers inn has recently hired a new waitress, a pale northern beauty called Sigrlinn. She seems an odd sight in the city, often uncomfortable in the fetid oppressiveness of the underground, but seems to greatly enjoy her work in the inn. She beams as she works, a beacon of light in the otherwise gloomy inn.

  • F

    _The young woman, known only as Katrina, is commonly seen around the public areas of Oscura. Little is known about her amongst the locals, her face is always kept covered by a helm and she can often be seen dressed in long flowing, black and purple robes.
    She appears to be fluent in Undercommon, and seems to avoid speaking in common, resorting to quiet whispers to those she interacts with.

    She also appears to frequent the temple often._


  • _More and more often men wearing black, and golden sashes, outfits or even whole armors are seen walking the streets of Arnath. Often going straight for the nearest Inn to get loaded, some are send to scout out the city, and contact any of the bigger groups about possible business.

    They rarely wear helmets, demonstrating little fear of being recognised and seem to respect the underground rules.. for now._


  • A large figre fully cloaked with a hood is seen walking through oscara keeping to the walls and shadows tryibng to avoid anyone he meets. He can be seen looking at bits of paper and any infomation, occasionly taking notes, after looking around thorughly he quickly leaves


  • The Order of Discord was seen leaving Oscura in a rather large force some days prior and then returning with four large sacks, going straight into the temple. The temple of the deep was locked off for a short time until the large metal doors were finally unlocked and cast open while a strange smelling smoke rose out from within. The Soul Well seemed to be increasingly loud for with its agony and pain over the following hours after these events.


  • Word spreads that spiders have been seen scurrying about the walls of Oscura, many migrating from the surface to the dark regions of the city. One citizen would have been lost to their venemous bites if not for the healer in the docks region. All citizens are encouraged to keep an eye out for such creatures and report it to the Skull Krushers.


  • SkullCrushers are seen out in larger numbers recently due to reported spider attacks. The spiders seem to drop down from the cavern ceiling in numbers to try to overwelm citizens. One Oscura Guard and one SkullCrusher have died defending the city.


  • people speak of the soul well reacting oddly when the wizard Chaevre' Vaelen and the Bard Mirkali were studying it, Mirkali had Chaevre' use her magics to protect his mind so that he could divine the well, Chaevre' was however unprotected, she stood dangerously close to the edge of the well and even reached into it briefly, when she withdrew her hand she turned her gaze upon Mirkali and immediate set upon him with her great axe, Mirkali was lucky to escape into the nars under a haste spell. When asked about it Chaevre' merely states that "it seemed like the right thing to do at the time", witnesses think she may have been possessed, some say that the well has made her go insane, others simply say nothing but "i told you so".


  • Corde is seen often near the soul well, praying before it or studying it, seeming to bask within the agony and emotions of loss teeming from it. When asked what he is doing he points out that there are few mysteries, secrets, within narfell as great as this Well that feeds off the losses that cause the agony and pain of these wretched souls. For that, he is interested and curious, and seeks to better understand it and feel the pain of all those it pulls
