Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
_Word is, there was some sort of commotion in the Coppers between Jario, Balthazar and some of their men. Some of Oscuras nobility, most notably, Lady Zenais Komnenos, Ekmen Kyzanos, Louis du Lorraine and Zazamouhk II Sahkmet were present at the time, as the talking soon turned hostile. Weapons were drawn, two of the nobility at the bar were knocked aside as the Lotus members moved to protect their leaders. Words were exchanged between noble and Lotus member alike for a moment.
It is said that one of the nobles, Zazamouhk II Sahkmet, suddenly grabbed one Lotus members head and smashed it on the bar for the shove he received and a fight ensued. Whispers of shadows being summoned to subdue the Brute, seemingly fighting on Jarios side are heard alongside the tales of the fight. Whatever is true, one Lotus Brute was taken bloody and beaten out of the Coppers, while Zazamouhk, bloody and beaten himself just seemed to yell for the wine he ordered earlier, giving Jario a few choice words for the delay in getting it._
-
_It seems that Jario's Black Lotus have been processed by the Red Falcons and released… most of them anyway. It was found that a small number of Jario's Lotus were trying to incite tensions between the Raven's Wing by framing Balthazar's Lotus, all involved in the plot have been sentenced to long jail terms.
This goes along with rumours of many Black Lotus now defecting to Balthazar's side as Jario's leadership proves itself quite lacking._
-
Vladimir Kursk seems to often be going down the tunnels of the Kuo Tuo and Ettins, even down the mines, seemingly serching the underground for something. What it is is unknown, often going for lengthy times
//away for a few days an next week playtimes are gona be majorly cut, will be around every now an then
-
*A group leaving the coppers were seen heading down the mines. The group returned much later with four Duerger women.
Rumours start to circualte that these duerger were later sold to the Red Dragon as slaves.
The only other noticable thing from the group, the daughter of Ahkemedes Komnenos was seen returning with blood and injuries*
-
Shortly after his brothers wedding reception, Ferdinand Locke is seen in Keepers tower, finalizing all his reports and ongoing investigations to pass them off to other members. He then is seen preparing a wagon with the aid of Locke Family guards, lastly he is seen heading in the direction of the Sahkmet estate to pick up the beautiful Ahmose so that the pair can depart for her homeland of Mulhorand at next light.
-
A group of adventurers embarked on a ship - of note perhaps that the ship made it very clear this was adventurers, as it was a ship others would call a wreck - it even had to be towed out of the harbor by another ship. The group returned later on a much better ship - possibly they learned their lesson not to embark on such broken ships.
-
The Peacekeepers of Oscura can also be seen patrolling more heavily than usual, protecting the docks as well
-
_For a brief period of hours, Oscura descended into chaos as rumours spread like wildfire that a group of Raven's Wing guards were murdered by Jario's Black Lotus. What followed was a series of fights and brawls between the said factions, until a sweep of the city performed by the elite Oscuran guard quickly jailed all Raven's Wing guards and Black Lotus employees, but the uninvolved Lotus of Balthazar's faction were quickly released.
It seems that the coalition of Black Sail and Northern Bear guards are the only ones guarding the docks again, whilst it appears Duke Istvan has enlisted the help of Brankovic's mercenaries to act as his company's guards for now. The Coppers has been taken over by the Skovhus meanwhile.
Both the Black Lotus and the Raven's Wing Guards are being processed by the Red Falcons, and estimates say that it'll all be figured out within a month._
-
Ferdinand Locke is seen preparing for his journey to Mulhorand with Ahmose more and more, when asked about it he seems rather excited and eager to begin the trip.
-
Word spreads that the glistening couple in Oscura's nobility scene is an unlikely one of Loktar Kyzanos and Anna Kursk. Whether this is premeditaded by their fathers, or what it means for Oscura, is still unclear.
-
_Returning adventurers from the deep chasm mentioned about an odd seight the other day. Two dead driders can still be found lying among ten-folds of dead kua toa corpses, piled together.
Their torso appears to have been cut open and most of it's interior ripped out. Purpose of this is unknown but whatever was responsible for their death must've had a personal vendetta considering this brutal act. Further on, remains from multiple traps are spotted throughout the same area. Gas, acid and traps of explosion have been triggered recently leaving small craters in the sand. Nothing but a small war took place here recently_
-
The occasional rumor of drow activity reaching farther out from the real underdark makes its round through some of the taverns - rarely the tales include a small group of humans from more 'civilized' cities that had an altar to the goddess of the drow - sometimes that group even preyed on drow - and sometimes they are said to be looking for a chosen sacrifice to that goddess.
-
A masked stranger is seen walking the dark streets of Oscura. He speaks to no one, but he seems to be looking for something… :ninja:
-
Rumours start to spread from out of the coppers on what the nature of this trip was.. The rumours seem to be fueld by Vladimir Kursk, son of duke andrey. The rumours claim that the Lighning Eagle were paying off a village to stop sending the Northern Bear grain. Kursk is heard loudly and angrily calling them hipocrits. However, due to the recent confrontations with the Lighning Eagle, it is possiable he is jsut trying to spread fulse rumours
-
_A mixed group of Oscuran nobles, mercenaries, and even Black Sails met up on the docks recently. The group seemed to be discussing something about some type of delivery.
After some talking, the group left on a ship for awhile before returning with one of the Oscuran nobles, known as Vladimir, heavily wounded. It seems the group also had one casualty: A Tempus follower known as Hammerhand. Whatever transpired in waters abroad was certainly violent.
Other members in the group, however, looked relatively uninjured and in decent spirits. The two Sails left with one of the nobles toward their warehouse, while the others went off on other business._
-
It seems there was a confrontation between Lightning Eagle and Northern Bear employees by the Well recently, but no violence erupted.
-
Rumors in Oscura speak of another attack from the well. A couple of dead bodies were recovered, badly mangled, and sometimes the sighting of an eye tyrant is mentioned, not one of the smaller eye stalks that sometimes can be seen near the well, but a full grown, very angry, and very dangerous eye tyrant sized one.
-
Oscura is abuzz with rumours that a small, untapped vein of mithril has been found in the caverns surrounding the city. Of course, there's a good chance these are just rumours spread by drunk dwarves at the Mithril Mug, since nobody seems to know anything about it.
-
Ferdinand is seen spending much time in the library, often going through and books pertaining to Mulhorand, especially ones that discuss traditions and dialects.
-
Many visitors have been seen coming and going from the Oscura Jail, most to visit with the surfacer, Gina. Most visitors seem to be various Nobles and friends, however rumors of darker more twisted guests have also surfaced.
