Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
The vampiric bard, Shemaright, has come back to Oscura. She doesn't quite seemto be at her full powers though. She spends most of her week in her own room, sleeping. The last day of the week she wakes up, heads outside of Oscura. She always comes back covered in blood, especially around her lips.
-
Arthus Goldmoon, it seems, has returned. He claims to have been "reborn" through the stormlord, Talos. He has recently been spotted wandering around the depths of Oscura, wearing a strange, reddish plated armour. Rumours also incur that he has been seen following a man by the name of Allanon Leonsin. The other night, he was seen in strange confrontation with Zanetar Den'Kath. It seemed Zanetar did not agree with something that Arthus said. Soon after the confrontation however, they met an agreement of some sort, and walked off hastily from one another.
-
Strange, short phrases have been heard around Oscura and the chasm lately. Unclear who's singing them, they knock the wind (and spirit) out of anyone close, and unfortunate, enough to hear them. And they are left with a profound feeling of being prey.. insignificant cattle awaiting slaughter and consumption.
-
rumors have been spreading by the guards stationed in the raven rift, a couple banites have called for unity and a force to rival the troff legion and protect all those that walk in darkness. it is unclear what is really happening, and who is behind this though.
-
_Rumors spread that yet again the well was acting up. Some say a parchment was seen floating inside the well as magics surged from it. In perhaps a most clever, self persevering manner, Nicahh was seen offering to pay a young, perhaps foolish, follower of Talos to run amongst the magics and retrieve the parchment for her. Later she was seen tucking a parchment away, and the man was seen with his armor covered with scorch marks and him upon his knees praising Talos for sparing his life.
One thing is for sure…the well seems to be getting more and more active as of late, producing images that make some wonder, even more, what in the hells is going on._
-
A great fair was held at the old Alliance Arms Inn. Following an archery competition, a cage fight and a battle game came the largest auction in years. Many thousands of gold changed hands, all in favor to auctionmaster Nico Black, of course.
-
Residents would speak of an event that occured not but a day ago, involving the well. A Banite, Uthger, and a woman dressed in Black and Purple robes were present when Fire spewed from the well.
Soon to follow were Spectres, which attacked the three there, however the guards quickly intervened.
A lengthy discussion followed, along with some degree of input from an elf dressed in purple, which ended with each participant dispersing in different directions. The robed woman was seen heading to the temple.
-
_A very sullen Nicahh has been seen moping around Oscura as of late. Some say she appeared to recieve quite a berating from her most recent companion, though no one could understand what in the hells they were arguing over.
For days the ivory skinned woman is only seen moving from her room at the Shiney Coppers, to the Red Falcon's Library, where she seems to be moving tomes around, glancing at them, rather than doing in depth research. Other times she is seen examining the Soul Well with an obvious curiosity, never too close to it, while clutching an ancient looking parchment.
Some whisper she is looking for a bard to help her with a project._
-
Men and women wearing black and gold are once again being seen in Oscura. One of these people having nearly red hair, that has been lurking around the city for some time, seems to be introducing himself to many in the city, asking around for jobs that need to be done.
-
Shadows themselves seem to have followed the guards dragging this half orc out of the City. Later it is heard that a carving of a skull and crossbones was found on his cheek.
-
A large tall man, wearing, what looked like newly painted banite colors on his armor can be seen looking around Oscara. He walks woth his head lowered and a helm trying to avoid people who he meets. Eventally after not being able to get into the undercity he starts to serch about the upper part of Oscara. After a while he heads into the monastery. After a few minutes four gaurds follow him in, after a while the sounds of a very short fight the gaurds drag the body of Any Wogshurgh, reconsiable without his helm, bloodied through the streets out into the caverns. It is said that they dragged him through the crypts and threw him into the Norwick graveyard.
-
_Keira is enquiring of known mages and other students off oddness about localised odd magic phenomena. Patches of darkness, haste spells, other strange things. Unlike most Oscuran oddness, this wasn't happening at the well and seemed to follow her about.
Probably unrelatedly a nondescript elf seen at the monastery disappeared in a puff of lightning just in front of the Red Falcon library, leaving no trace behind him_.
-
Rumours are heard throughout Oscura, that the destructive forces of Talos are planning to sweep the land in the coming times… A posted note can be found in the oscura town square... It reads: To any of those, lost, or without a lord... Talos beckons you... If you wish to join up, talk to Arthus Goldmoon, the ex-paladin of Torm... He should usually be dwelling within the forgotten city. Only "worthy" applications shall be accepted... Arthus will show you the way to a relationship with the stormlord.
at the bottom of the note is a drawing of an explosive blast of lightning
-
Many citizens of Oscuara would notice a slow rise in new citizenship. Nicahh is seen leading several members of the Black Sails to the under city; them returning with a familar cloth wrapped about their hands.
-
-As of now it seems the legionares are still free to enter the Temple whole, though they are restricted from access of the Banite Chapel. It also seems however that those Legionars of a goodly heart find themselves unable to pass the doors to the Chapel of Shar. When people have asked Corde as to the reason for why the ban has not overtaken the entire Legion he states that-
"The Neutral Chapel is there for any Oscruan to give praise to thier deities and as such no organization will be denied access until said organization has attempted or is found to be attempting harm upon the City of Refuge."
The guards however do keep a keen eye on any of those wearing colors of some of the more goodly forces of Narfell; the legion, the phoenix, the divine shield, and others. If any are seen harassing Blooded or speaking ill of the gods housed within the Temple, they are asked to leave rather sternly.
-
Orders are subsequently established barring all Troff Legion personnel from the Temple of Bane, and – unless the church of Shar or Mask should object -- the entire Temple of Caverns establishment.
-
Many close to the Town well of souls ( or whatever you call it) noticed a large male in metal escorting Dania back to her home safely… some say it was one of those legion do gooders... He might have been seen snooping around close to the temple of bane by many... On his way out, the well of souls casted spells on him and he ran for it screeming for mommy they say... :evil:
-
A blue robed elf with the air of a wizard has been studying in the library in recent days.
(if someone could help me out with a source for history of the city?)
-
The strange masked woman that passed through Oscura on many occasions has not been seen at all for quite some time.
-
The Templar Corde is seen with some of his clergy heading to the Gaurd barracks to tend to any of thier wounded. It is said he is searching out the Captain of the Guard to begin plans for securing the defenses
