She seems harmless but people avoid her just in case she has escaped from an asylm, it is unsure of what shes doing but every now and then a flicker can be seen near her. is it imagination? or something in the corner of citzens eyes? or something else?

Senator Ronan Redralen has been seen with a stressed look about him. The usually cheery sorcerer walks about, running his hand through his hair, or walking quick-paced about the city, as if in a hurry. Quite unusual behavior for him.
-
_Rumour has it that a giant brown bear attacked a caravan on its way to the city. Several adventurers were seen heading that direction afterwards, and returning several hours later with some goods and two bags dripping with blood.
A small hin dressed in green was then seen making her way to the Temple of the Triad with the goods, and leaving the Temple empty handed.
The blood filled bags were taken to the crematorium._

As some may have noticed, lately Merial and Benji had been fairly distant, to the point where when near each other, they hardly acknowledged it. Finally, after secluding herself in the Valley for more than a week, Merial was seen traveling to Peltarch where she found Benji and took him to the commons where they talked for several hours. Some may have heard Benji offer Merial a drink, and with an expression mixed of sadness, fear, and nervousness, she accept the offer. They disappeared into the Mermaid for several more hours, and when they returned, they both wore relieved and happy smiles, Benji leading Merial off towards the Legion hall hand-in-hand. It would seem the little couple have finally made up

_A recent disturbance in the Docks district has lead to a small residential house being sealed off by the guard, it's windowpanes smeared with blood on the inside. Rumours speak of terrible screaming from inside, the investigating guards retreating with grievous wounds before Captain Fortesque himself entered the house, flanked by Cerulean Knight Lycka and Oghman priest Terren. Whatever evil lurked inside, the trio seems to have dealt with swiftly, stepping back outside with grim expressions.
Furthermore, tragedy seems to have struck one of the staff at the Mermaid, the more sinister of rumours claiming the woman in question was brutally mutilated and delivered to the inn in bloodied chunks. Whatever the truth may be, there is no doubt that the incident has left the remaining staff rattled._
-
_Marie has been seen going to visit Benji, bringing him paper and charcoal so that he can continue to work on plans whilst imprisoned.
Gotta give a gnome… err... hin something to do, right?_
-
_Benji finds himself in jail after playing a prank on Devlin of the Norwick Militia. Rumor has it the charge is a lesser assault charge for use of a 'Gnomish Pranking Device.'
Benji seems to be in good spirits as he receives a few visitors.
Rumor has it he's even in the market for another set of Gnomish Hand Zappers or any equally funny gnomish gag._

Senator Martoushca Leaffall returns from her "diplomatic" voyage to Karatur dressed in a kimino and other "Eastern" accessories. She even hands out a good number of souvenirs*. Anyone spotting her at meal time would even catch her having a go at eating with a pair of sticks.
*Cheap nasty crap of no real use.

_Rumours spread about exact look-alikes of known citizens and adventurers cropping up of late, causing much confusion regarding true identity. Though some might attribute this to the whimsy of self-proclaimed god-child Leanna, others give the phenomenon a darker, more sinister name - doppelgangers.
Also, at the Lucky Ferret Inn, a ruckus of some sort seems to have occurred as Captain Fortesque could be observed entering and leaving the building, four or five guardsmen in tow. A short while later, a group of Black Sails exited, carrying the still form of barmaid Claire off towards the ferry to Oscura._
-
_* The waitresses at the Inn are overheard talking about a certain Senator who, though usually cheery with them is now one of quiet contemplation.
He is seen walking out the western gates and talking with the gaurds then returning to the Sentate unless having a meal at the inn or visiting the home of Eli and seems only to smile any longer when having a moment or two to play with her children. *_

There seemed to be some sort of disturbance at the College, what exactly it was is unknown, but almost a dozen bodies were taken to the Temple and carts of stone were hauled out and dumped into the Lake
-
After a long and mostly unexplained absence, Sir Aeadan has returned to the city. He is seen regularly in the poorer parts of the docks, where he offers aid and blessings to those most in need, and performs the ritual known as Torm's Table with any who are willing.
-
Albry has been seen traveling to Peltarch on a more regular basis than normal, which most of her time there is spent with Aelthas and Lycka when she can find them

((A little late, but better than never))
_An attempt again was made on Senator Redralen's life. The assassin attacking the senator right in the middle of the commons. With the help of those nearby, those being Terren and Belia, the senator's life was saved.
The assassin was chased out of the Peltarch through the southern gate. The three left to persue him, and returned sometime later, all alive. The senator himself, however, looked a tad disturbed by it all._

_Edwards few almost became edwards none so the stories tell. The brave group of adventurers led by the loudmouthed but swift tongued Edward faced off against the cunning of the kobolds. It started as an easy enough trip through the swamps until Hirst was attacked by a stealthy kobold and as he chased after it it led him into a myrid of traps. The kobold led the to a cave and the group was hesitant to go in. Rolo's pixie familiar disarmed the traps in front of the entrance while Hirst checked to see if the coast was clear.
After facing the crafty kobold one more time, and getting hit by a few traps it fled deeper into the cave badly wounded. The group bravely went ahead, not wanting another group of adventurers to fall to the dastardly traps. They ran into some strong resistance and the kobolds almost fell Hirst in one mighty blow as he was held, but thanks to the healing power provided by lady Rowan he survived.
After the near death experience the group headed for the safety of Peltarch lamenting that they did not get the trap setting kobold, but confident they had given him quite the scare._

_Wild rumours fly around about an epic duel fought right in the middle of the commons! Elidur versus Pitiful Patrick the Pennywhistler –- if that 'is' his real name, at least that's what Elidur dubbed the Defender-ish sort. Most people cheered Elidur in the crowd, said to have been playing his usual strings. The Defender had an Elven horn of some design - which was impressively tooted on.
Rumour has it that Professor Elidur knocked one of the female onlookers out simply by winking at her! It's said she didn't again rise to her feet until long after the duel was done, and that the bard went about signing his autograph on the chests of eager women afterwards! Oh my!_

A man dressed in robes of the deepest black and a cowl to match is rumored to have walked into the Temple of the Triad and stared at the altars for the better part of a day. After hours of staring, he dropped a single long stemmed rose on the ground and walked from the temple.
