Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
A rumor spreads around the city that Rath Ashald has been seen waving his manhood from a window somewhere in peltarch's residential district
-
Perhaps nobody bothered to report it, or perhaps nobody cared - even as Elidur fled through the streets of Peltarch, clearly being chased by Hammerhand weilding his halberd, and a strange woman who Elidur says is actually a guard from Norwick. As the two men ran down the main market street, it seems the warrior of Tempus shot at Elidur with his longow - with critical success, still no guards came. When neither of them emerged from the alley it seemed to not raise enough suspsicion or alarm, even when the local bard cried out for help. And despite going directly to Lisa there has still been no formal action. Are people talking about it, it doesn't seem so. Is there any justice for the bard? Not really.
But Elidur survives, apparently. At least in body - although it's evident of late that his spirit is a little damp, if not totally crushed.

Benji sprints all around the city asking every bard he sees what they can tell him about lutes.

@5b4c8a4cd6=Karnivor:
Rumour has it that Black Sails captain Sabre has an identical twin - or doppelganger according to some, suspicions being raised by the somewhat strange mannerisms of the other, and the fact that their taste in clothing is remarkably similar. Sabre herself claimed that her sister is "special", soon leading the other off towards the docks and away from public gawking.
Grak lets out a snort
"Dis bes outrage, how dem town guards nay question such? Or is huuumie mind so short dat nay remembers whut happends ta da small-town shortly after such dopl..dodd..dolp….. twins starteds ta appear, eh? Apparentlys theys bes snooping city defences und militia patrol routes.

Drelan can be heard grunting as he hears rumors of a temple of Valkur being built in the city. ".. and there goes the trade.. talk about asking for a woman's scorn.." he then walks off to the docks looking in deep thought
-
It seems that for a full day and night, a lone Kelemvorite… some know him as Kosef... was seen ferrying at least twenty dead Highholders from the smugglers cave near Peltarch to the ruined tower just south of Peltarch, burying each man and woman in their own grave. He then offers a prayer to Kelemvor so that they all may be judged and watched by the Lord of the dead.

Beware of Hats!
A recent incident at the Peltarch commons might have citizens turning suspicious or even fearful glances towards large and colourful wizardly headgear, as rumour has it one such hat came flying through the air on it's own accord. From this magickful hat of wonder sprang not rabbits, but something rather more sinister as three cockatrices leapt out to turn their eery petrification gazes upon city employees Lisa, Lycka and Raul. The leering birds are reportedly slain, but the mysterious hat is still at large.
-
Quite in contrast to the rumours of undead and monsterous slaadi is the recent sighting of Black Sails captain Sabre Seesaw, normally ever attired in sleek black, wearing something decidedly different whilst skipping, yes, skipping around the commons with an expression as dark as her outfit is white and frothy. Petite pink suade shoes dance softly against the ground, while a very short, very frilly pink and white skirt flounces with each step, in touching concert with the sailor's decidedly false blonde corkscrew curls, fastened into two adorable pigtails. A polkadot bandana and tiny white lace gloves complete the Cute an' Sexy Lil' Shepardess Outfit, possibly (though not probably) the next big hit at the Wilting Flower Shoppe.
-
Rumour has it the foothills recently saw a large-scale eruption of slaadi in a wide range of colours, all vicious and bent on destruction as their slimy kind are prone to be. The frog infestation was reputedly dealt with by Defender Aelthas, Cerulean Knights Lycka and Celebring, first aid specialist Sera and the merry priest of Glittergold, Rubo. After further investigation by a latter party, it seems the finger of blame lies on orcish spellcasters.

_One dark frosty night, all across the city, soldiers of wars long and not so long past rose from the ground, mindlessly attacking all those around them. Undead N'Jasti, Renegades of High Hold, Peltarch Defenders and even some of the fearsome Black Dragon Knights roamed the streets of the city, fully intent on delivering death anew to the citizens of the Jewel.
In the commerce district, the threat was quickly dealt with by the combined forces of city guards, Defenders and adventurers present, while the residential district saw a similarily swift and assertive swoop of the famed Archangel division, well suited to combating such foes.
As so often seems the case, the situation was most dire in the docks district, where the hardened Ignismon vet had a tough fight on their hands before pinning the undead hordes into the western part of the district. It is said the Ignismon captain Benthur was singing throughout the fight, his well-known hatred against undead in combination with Selunite eccentricity perhaps explaining the cheery battle chant of: "Smash 'em good, smash 'em good, the cap'n says smash 'em up good!"
With the aid of able adventurers and additional city forces, the docks were cleared and the undead put to rest, hopefully for good this time. While the pyres were lit in the docks, Cerulean Knight Lycka could be seen carrying the sole casualty of the fighting off to the temple - the Temposian known as Hammerhand._
-
In a case that has the docks talking, a young cleric who had just arrived in Peltarch burst into flame and burned to death almost the second he walked down the gangway. No mage or other fire-throwing type was seen. Local theories range from crazed Red Wizards to rogue fire elementals to the Insidious Doktor Zorn.
-
Word has it that the local orcish goons infesting the foothills have been up to new tricks, as an adventerous elf learnt when he was suddenly and brutally overwhelmed by his foes and carried off to a nearby cave. The attentive guards spotted the elf-napping, luckily enough, and alerted sargeant Yana and a small contingent of loiterers at the commons. Backed by Legionaires Hedia Gend and a large halforc, alongside Sabre Seesaw of the Black Sails, Yana lead a successful rescue mission and returned with the pale and shaken, but very much still living elf.

_Meye Spark, Hand of Auril, is seen to softly telling to local people of how all these sightings are signs that Frostmaiden has fixed Her gaze to the Peltarch and hows soon many shall feel how it is to get frozen from inside out and not to die. Not to die until they have seen their loved ones to die by their feet, their faces turning into awful grimace when their lungs get filled by shards of ice that causes unbelievable pain and slow death.
She always ends Her description of death to simple question._
"If thee can saveth thy loved ones and thyself with just declaring thy faith to Frostmaiden and paying thy tithes for Her through Her humble servant, why would thee not do it? Is there really a more foolish thing than vein pride in front of icy death that makes thee not able to kneel and pray, or trying to greedily hold of thy wealthe when thee cannot enjoy it no longer, neither can pass it to those who thee love?"
-
Snow falls down upon the outer southern gate one morning. Soon rumours spread speaking of the bodies of small winged ice creatures being found amongst the rubble of several statues at the same location.
-
Rumor has it that Senator Ashwynd was seen walking through the commons, from the docks district, and then quickly into the Mermaid Inn, his arm tightly around a young halfelf some would recognize as his son. The waitresses would say that the two stay in a room unless the Senator, gathers food and carries it back with him, and that Calen has only been seen recently leaving the Mermaid
-
Strangely enough the bard Elidur Ginen has been spotted wandering about here and there in search of dry rice where it can be bought - all accounts suggest he's carrying it off in small parcels to the Bardic College.
-
A familiar Senator with an uncommon small smile was seen seemingly awaiting something at the Mermaid Inn, in Peltarch. He was accompanied by a hin he called "Speedy" and last seen they were sipping hot tea and warming up as they talked of the recent weather change
-
Rumors about vampires in the nearby orc caves spread as a young tall woman in fullplate talks about a though vampire who feasts on orcs. She says the group she was with was unable to put the vampire to rest but that they luckily escaped unbitten and that it was possibly the thoughest foe she ever faced. Further she advices folks to not venture into those caves without a large group of capable women or men in company of a priest.
-
Rumors circle that Telli laughed audibly when she heard of the orcs whimpering to the guards. Milk nearly exploded out her nose when she heard Grak was the one leading the band.…
"Dat farkers always goings on abouts da axe answers dis....da axe answer dats.... stupids hummie law... now he comes whimperings ta same hummie guards....HAH HAH..."
Telli begins chocking to the point of needing someone to smack her on the back
"Guess dog is a dog at da end of da day... and a cowardly'un tucks its tail under its bum...Heh heh..."
Telli wipes a few tears from her eyes patting the wooden table before her softly the irony nearly too much..... "phew....good'un..."
