Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
for those who heard it, or even saw it. a red lightning bolt struck down somewhere along the nars road, creating a terrifyingly loud noise.
-
Peltarch's Halfling senator Martoushca Leaffall, as well as a pious warrior escorting her named Andrew, fell into a cultist ambush while venturing down into Peltarch's sewer system.
Luckily for the pair, a defender Patrol arrived after they were late returning from the sewer. Not in time to save their lives, but in time to prevent their bodies being transformed into undead creatures by the cultists. Both answered the call to return to the land of the living.

Rumour has it, that Cray is a man to speak to if you need a loan…
-
Vague rumours mention orcs turning bolder once more, spotted in the near foothills, but the most buzzing news from that area is trouble of a different kind - human marauders, firing poison arrows from horseback. It is said the troublemakers were fended off by city officials, aided by a small group of do-gooders, including a knight of the Order and her rather enthused horse.
-
Rumours has it Mystic is talking to every merchant in town about strange goods such as bark of oak and acorn and Masterwort…. What is Masterwort? Her golden locks bounces as she quite determined walks up and down the streets of Peltarch to solve her quest.
-
The very same penguinized priest was seen but days later and for a week thereafter followed by a pack of dogs as he makes his way around the city. While the curious canines seem to search about for something, Allestor makes the best of the situation doing what he can to care for the searching strays until they carry on their own way again.
-
Rumours fly of a once familiar face reappearing at the Peltarch commons in a burst of blinding light and ear-piercing sound - the self-proclaimed God-child and Bunny Slayer, ~Leanna~! Spectacular displays of magic followed in the eccentric Leanna's wake - one startled Ilmateri priest temporarily taking the form of a rotund waddling seabird, amongst other oddities.

Rumor has it that a weary band of adventurers emerged from the Peltarch sewers last night carrying the bodies of three people. Led by Knight of the Order of Defenders Lady Ashena, the company included Celia, Reynauld, Allestor, Romulus, Kalem, and Elena. A guard wearing an unknown red uniform accompanied them to the Temple of the Triad.
There was told the tale of the party's encounter with a new form of undead: bodies animated like zombies and wights, but full of crystal ooze and possessing sonic mind-affecting powers. The ooze inside these bodies flowed like blood and dripped into the grates, but seemed to be alive and turned into crystal oozes and slithering trackers. A female that might have been a blightmage of Talona was controlling them. The party managed to kill her, but her body too was full of ooze.
The party then discovered a group of Cyrcists using a summoning circle to call forth demon Vrocks and Succubi. After a long, hard battle, the party defeated them and destroyed the summoning circle. The three bodies were found on the floor surrounding the summoning circle. They seemingly were members of the same family and Rashemi by appearance: a woman, a youth and a child.
Lady Daisey was unable to restore the bodies to life. The red-cloaked guard was a representative of a Thayan Red Mage, who said he felt the pulse of evil magic from the summoning circle and came with his guards to investigate. It was this guard that told the party about the Talonan blightmage.

Rumors of war, mercenaires and undead are clearly messing with folks around town.
A doomsayer was seem preaching one evening about how hope is gone and that all should prepape for the inevitable ansd coming end.
When guards finally tried to stop the man's "preaching" at the docks, he seem to have just gone somewhere else, without leaving track.

_Black clouds rolled in from the south west and poured a storm down upon Pelatch. Above the commons an orange light appeared in the clouds. Two halflings (senator Marty Leaffall and General Theaon of the Legion) Stood amazed as a glowing orange tendril descended from the cloud and wrapped around one of them (senator Marty). The tendril lifted her up into the storm clouds which then hid her from view.
The other halfling (General Theaon) Transformed into a pixie and flew up into the storm where he could be seen being buffered about by the strong winds before disappearing from view also.
Before long both halflings were lowered back to the ground the way the first one was lifted from it. Both appeared to be stunned by their bizarre encounter but were otherwise unharmed._

_Rumor is heard that late one evening a few days past there was a commotion in the commons. It seems some sort of Doomsayer was spreading prophecies of THE END of all things, as well as a "Death to Hope".
He was soundly refuted by many adventuring types gathered there at the time. However his gloom seemed to strike a cord with several of Peltarch's common folk, and a small panic ensued.
Some claim the fear was spread, perhaps unintentionally, by a certain Bard, and that order was restored only after some of the Defenders put an end to his performance. A claim partially supported by a smashed yartling seen laying in the grass of the commons._

Rumours speak of a band of vicious kobolds attacking the western farmsteads, lead by a particularily frightening one with eyes of glowing red. The warband managed to kill a few of the hardworking farmers before faithfuls of the Triad came to the rescue, aided by a dwarven priestess.
-
_The usual suspects when it comes to cleansing the city's sewers emerge in customarily filthy condition, green, rancid goo dripping from otherwise handsomely shiny plates of knightly types. This time, the sewer patrol can be seen inspecting a small dagger with much interest, their conversation seeming centered around ghosts..
..but what does the elven bard Unen have to do with all that?_
-
Sources report a golden haired elf booking passage across the Icelace…or on a caravan bound for Western lands, or coming and going from the commons in a bolt of light.
Similarly, a pair of urchins find themselves flush with cash after the simple task of delivering a pile of receipts to Magistrate Greywing and the Bardic College. What's two grubby orphans with too much money to do? Why steal a long coat, stand one on the others shoulders, and hit the Ferret, of course!

Rumours in the docks say that ardent (the adjective, not the Half-Elf) entrepreneur Avery Rosewood has managed to purchase himself a ship using revenue earned from a recent convoy expedition.
Experienced sailors scoff at Rosewood's purchase, commenting that the only thing keeping the ship afloat are the mooring lines tying it to the dock. Nevertheless, Avery and Terrington are hard at work bringing the ship up to scratch.
-
Merchants report seeing large numbers of warships anchored out in the Icelace. They fly various colours, but haven't been hostile to anyone.
-
Five dock worker bodies are found floating by the docks…carved into their chest "Bane is coming"
-
Those who frequent the Mermaid and the commons of Peltarch notice a well-dressed elf constantly coming and going. He seems to be gathering supplies at the various shops about town. Within a few weeks’ time a small camp has been erected just within the walls of the south gate. About the time the camp goes up, so do several small fliers in the commons and the Mermaid, as well as being posted on the boards of Norwick so that those who have returned there will see them as well.

::Chea is seen spending time in Lucky Ferret, wearing Cerulean recruit cloak. She's willing to talk and offer drinks to locals, albeit terribly disoriented with local customs.::

Four refugees and three guards have been reported missing in the docks lately…
