Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
In the wake of the bitter-sweet victory over Fendon and his minions, another threat suddenly looms. Alarm bells ring out across the foothills as terrifying demons appear, pushing as far as inside the gates themselves before pushed back by the Jewel's brave Defenders and a score of adventurers. Several Defenders perish while the bells keep ringing, but out across the foothills, three winged celestials keep up the fight, bathed in the light of the divine. General Neverith himself is said to have joined the fray, alongside several knights of the Order and various brave adventurers. Despite the horrors, one wonderous and oft repeated rumour persists afterwards - one of the shining celestials on the field looked ~much~ like Lady Daisy Millern…
-
With rumors of the defeat of Fendon spreading throughout the city, many celebrate the destruction of another threat to Narfell. Shortly after word arrives of the victory though bells begin to chime throughout the city from the various Temples. It doesn't take long for the news to spread that Daisy, High Priestess of Tyr has fallen in the final battle with Fendon and has not returned. A city's celebration becomes mourning as thousands flock to the Triad Temple to pay their respects and flowers appear all over the city at small memorials dedicated to Daisy, women and men alike weep in the street and the Defenders stand rigid all over the city in a salute to the fallen Priestess, bearing banners of Tyr.
-
With the confrontation of Fendon and his armies of undead drawing closer, it is perhaps no wonder that the temple of the Triad seems unusually busy. Of late, there's an additional, anticipatory buzz in the air aswell, and rumour has it that several of the Order's squires are soon to be knighted - a joyous affair, even in such dark times as these!
((knighting ceremony is set to Saturday 2nd, at noon EST, four hours before the Fendon event. Friends, allies and any curious nosy nellies are all invited!))

"Mon dieu vat iz this?" she slowly get up her feet , straighten and brushes of her cloak, then heads to nearest guard asking for an explanation.
Senator Leaffall is also keen to hear an explanation. Her indignation at there being piles of dirt in the common is clear

Walking from the Triads into the commons, Celia is clearly in deep prayers and thoughts of reasent events, her foot get stuck in a pile of dirt. With a loud clankity clank clank she falls without dignity face down in the mud, as she lifts her head up she sees a big hole in the ground…

Beourn BattleMail makes his way through the Nars pass to the Legion Tower. When he arrives, he requests a meeting with Romulus Grey regarding the recent bandit attacks.
Well met, Romulus. Another caravan was attacked on the Nars, none left alive. Dermin and meself came across the mess, and did ah bit o' searchin', hopin' t'find some evidence o' where the bandits 'er commin' from. We decided the woods t'be the most obvious place and went t'scout out the area. We found one bandit, She was doin' sum nasty finger wigglin', castin' fireballs, we had no choice but t'cut her down. We went ah bit deeper and found nothin' but trees and spiders. These bandits may be hidin' out somewhere in them woods. Me blade is at yer service t'help put ah end t'these bandits. If ah find out anythin' more ah will let ye know.

Hearing a rumor that bandits had attacked travellers near the Nars Crossroads, Romulus set out north from Norwick. One of his duties to the Troff Legion was to patrol the road between Norwick and Peltarch and keep it safe. As usual, he went out at night in his black scout's cloak instead of his blue Legion one. Creeping up the side of the road and keeping to the treeline, he scouted the crossroads and the Nars Bridge. He found no sign of any bandits, but on the road north of the bridge, and again in the northeast near the Temple of Tempus, he spotted falcons hovering over the road as if on guard. They did not speak or react to his approach so Romulus left them and made his way to Peltarch. For now, at least, the road appeared empty.

After days spent rallying the "thrill seeking" and bolder men and women underground Mystic returns up above. Visiting the Inn she learns about the good news. "Finally, some one with might and good heart for the land took the burden of duty to slay the beast and alone too, surely it was no beholder?" she giggles happily. "Where can I find this accomplished and devoted person? I wish to pay my respect and offer a reward if accepted?" she calls out rushing back out on the street looking

Rumors say that Mielikkian priest Anor was warning adventurers of strange creatures in the Underdark, carrying with her the body of a strange looking one under her arm (a Deep- Horror Terror).

"RATS!"
Such is the panicked cry coming from the Pissing Goat as employees and customers hurry outside, the door soon shut while exterminators are called for. And what horrid luck, on just this day, the Dolvak door is closed! Instead, a different group is hired, calling themselves "The Sewer Patrol", adept in the destruction of all types of vermin, or so they claim. Funny how one of their number looks very much like a knight of the Order…
-
Flashes of light can be seen coming from the kobold woods. Some simply dismiss them as fireworks some children have stolen and taken to the wood to launch off but could it be a bigger threat?

Sirion spreads word that he has an enchanted greatsword he wishes to sell.

Knight of the Order, Lady Ashena, accompanied by the bard Romulus, recently descended into the sewers below Peltarch. This was not a normal patrol, however. The sewer gates were locked but the guards opened them upon request. Immediately inside the gate, the pair were attacked by three cultists who were quickly dispatched.
Romulus donned his black scouting cloak and peered ahead. Spotting a large, twisted figure lumbering towards the stairs he immediately began firing his bow. Ashena dashed forward to engage the beast, some kind of twisted renderer, and the pair got in several blows before it started hitting them back.
Romulus continued shooting and began singing , but the beast had no ear for music and started chasing the bard around and around the staircase. Ashena shouted at it to stand and fight, but it ignored her and caught the bard when he stopped to shoot more arrows at it. Badly wounded, Romulus cast invisibilty on himself while Ashena caught up and finished off the beast with a final critical blow.
Around a corner, a little deeper into the sewers, a woman with bat-like wings appeared. She said her name was Leanna, the daughter of a human woman and a green dragon. She claimed she was looking for her mother in the city above, but was hiding in the sewers during daylight to conceal her wings.
Although Ashena detected the evil taint of the woman's dragon blood, the lady showed no hostility toward them and was allowed to leave. Celia, Allestor, and Victoria joined the patrol and the five continued deeper into the sewers. There they encountered three or four spectres which gave them a fierce battle and drained half the warriors. Lukily, all survived and returned to the surface.

On a nice day in Peltarch with clear skies, thunder rolled three times loud enough for all in the city to hear, and a single bolt of lightning fell down from the cloudless sky and struck the commons.

Rumour has it there was a curious belching from the forge in the crafting hall, followed by another belch which brought up some kind of terrible mist, which one heroic bystander fought off valiantly, saving the artisans in the hall. The source and nature of this mist, it is said, is a mystery.
Hey.. that was me!

The gate of Peltarch lays smashed apart after some form of hellish fireball hit it. The guards are currently running around getting builders throughout the city to repair it

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…
