Rumors heard throughout Oscura.
-
The Black Sails vessel "Zombie Queen" glides slowly into the dim lights of the Oscura harbour, her hull low in the water. The bloodied, merry crew disembark, rolling barrel after stinking barrel off to the nearby warehouse, while great rolls of hide and fur are carted off to the undercity's crafting hall for preparation. Between friendly leers and jeers, the curious observer may easily surmise that the Black Sails have tried their hands at some big game hunting, with a serious emphasis on big!
-
Korlis, after one of his daily patrols heads in for a typical ale or twelve at the Coppers. Hearing of the young man in gray, he sits patiently around, waiting for him to show up once again, tossing the doorman a few coins to make sure he's pointed out.
-
A young man in a gray tunic has been in the Coppers lately, asking now and then for someone named Korlis possibly? Something close to that. When asked why, it seems to either involve trade or an arrow to the face.
-
Hammer has been moving trough Oscura's inns and markets, seeming to be asking around and searching for an elf called "Lucidicious". What could the surfacer want from that one?
-
Tribune and High Priest of Mask, Fredrico Falsa was seen being carried through the city and into the temple. He appeared to be unconscious. What could have happening?!

Word is that Tribune Creg Fester is gathering brave men and women for a dangerous diplomatic mission into the underdark. He is seeking the strongest of warriors, and already has Dreadlord Quelcoth and a mysterious swordsman and Banite Alucard coming with. Drow? Duergar? Illuithids? Minotours? Beholders? What denezins is he seeking to make contact with. Any strong and formidable Oscurans are encuraged to seek him out.

Young Karl Skovhus has been seen walking around Oscura with a rather nervous looking surfacer hand in hand. Her once nervous appearance changed to a happy one once she was taken to the ancient library.
Rumor has it that he is in a relationship with this surfacer, and anyone who frequents the library probably saw them making out.
-
Rumour has it that Cray was at the Shiney Coppers, poking around regarding the deaths that have occured there recently. Apparently he was asking a lot of questions…
-
Another body was discovered in the back room of the coppers by the Dreadlord Quelcoth. Reports indicate that he was found lying dead on the ground with a bottle of some strange liquid and a rather odd looking contraption next to his body. The body was taken to Father Dagon where preparations were made for a full autopsy. The cause of death is, as of yet, uncertain.
-
Rumor spreads that the Tribunal is considering creating a new official position. Details that keep cropping up are that it involves relations to the surface. Spie? Diplomat? General?
-
At least a dozen people have been found dead over the past tenday, most in their homes, a few others were found in the backroom at the Shiny Coppers. Rumors of folks literally partying to death run rampant in some circles, while others suspect murder. Regardless of the cause, it has been keeping the Sisters of the Bone quite busy
-
*Cray really tied one on at the coppers the other night. He was seen sitting infront of the fire, completely fixated for a long time, after smoking a peculiar smelling cigar. Though he also consumed some other things and appeared to be taking notes. During the evening he even preformed a few brief feats; such as lifting up tables and setting them down at ease, another time shuttle running at an inhuman speed back and forth across the bar, finnaly jugling two daggers with dangerous grace. At some point in the wee hours of the morning, he stumbled into the back of the sleeping quarters and slept it off for some time.
If anyone asked what he was doing he simply replied;*
"Magical studies, rather boring stuff actually."
-
A large group of Peacekeepers was seen departing the city and venturing into the swamp lands, after descending into a smugglers cave for hours they eventually emerged, beaten, bloody and exhausted.
-
Rumors out of the Grim Bottle are heard in the Banshee and Shiny Coppers of late, apparently Darey Marshby has been seeking folks to bring him in refined Steel and Iron Ingots, rumors are hes paying for them. Reasons for the request are a bit vague, but when has anyone known a wizard to make sense.
-
_Cray has been Staying within Oscura the past week. He has been seen wandering about the various caverns with a scratch pad in hand. Often Cray is looking run down, but seems in normal spirits.
If anyone glances to the pad, it appears Cray is drawing pictures of the underdark itself. If anyone inquires as to why he hasn't been venturing out to the surface; Cray replies he has business deals to attend to here in Oscura, as well as working on the map of the underdark for the library._
-
Lacey can be seen entering the Oscuran monastery. When she gets out, she looks exhausted and takes rest at the inn, only to be back at the monastary the next day. Rumor says that maybe she's aiming to become a peacekeeper, or maybe she's just training…

Rumors are whispered throughout the various taverns in Oscura and amongst the guards that two Peacekeepers have been discharged from the service of Oscura.

-
Duke Istvan Darkhaven, has been seen at the Brawling Bodak a lot as of late, it seems he is planning something spectacular, centered around combative sport and tests of strength.

One can only of course speculate on what his intentions are.

Young Sigismund Locke, son of Ferdinand Locke, has been seen spending a good deal of time in Oscura of late, apparently having sworn his oath to the city.
Despite the obvious danger, he spends a good deal of time around the docks, taking a keen interest in the various trading costers operating there.
