Tavern Rumors of Peltarch



  • Sedea responds to the naysayers with every ounce of civility she possesses, which really isn't much at all.

    Probably cause ya whiny tree-humpers ain't got more sense than two porcupines in love. Who gives a rats ass if ya bash in little bunny fufu's wee little noggin? Not I, says I! Hells, I say we start using rats asses as currency, maybe we'll even get rid o' tha little mooches then.

    Ooooooh no, it just be Beshaba's bosom if we had folks havin someplace ta live, ooooh! Maybe we can give them somethin ta eat too? huh, I wonder what they like, maybe all that meat from tha adorable bunnies and kittens we just killed? Nay, people don't like that. They only eat nuts and …..hells, what do tha tree-humpers eat besides nuts?

    Anyways, where was I? Ah yeah, I got a present fer folks myself. Took me awhile ta make it, but it be real special, kid friendly e'en!

    She very lovingly takes out a large jar from her pack, inside is a baby kitten drowned in honey, a broad grin on Sedea's face. Obviously getting pleasure out of displaying the sick joke.

    @055404ddb1=Kayleb:

    Senator Marty was seen spotted in the commons rounding up help for a Sisterhood leather gathering expedition. Apparently the Sisterhood has plans to make a large number of tents. Some of her contacts in the Legion and the Circle were there to help out.

    Tents for what?

    Elf Davanros lets out a sigh
    "why do local animals bear the brunt of this madness? Surely you city-dwellers have enough stone for building material and senator among you who should have direct access to city treasury, so I fail to see reasoning why innocent animals are to be flayed.



  • _Perriwig waggishly explains to the wineperchers loitering about the more upmarket bars of Peltarch that the "Sisterhood leather gear" drive, as he styles it, is actually a cunning commercial ruse, predicated on the physical grossness of Damarran women. Under the pretence of tent-construction, the Waukeenly-thirsty Sisters are stitching vast leathery love costumes for the bonny blimps of Damarra to vivify their male companions.

    With a confiding wink and a forward lead, Doubleday lets drop the even more secret scoop. Apparently, the Rt Honourable Senator Marty is running the whole scheme as a dramatic bluff to conceal the costume she is having constructed for herself, which includes a crotchless red-leather devil outfit replete with pointy tail and a pair of jaggy wee horns to crown the piece.

    As a social conservative himself, after outlinging this lurid plot, Perriwig shakes his head grimly and mutters "Shocking, isn't it?"_

  • A pair of hins were seen canoodling in the commons, and talking quietly between themselves about plans for a big date. Seems that a wedding might be coming up soon…



  • _Rumour has it that Marie Scuttlestone of the Sisterhood has been asking around in the docks district regarding the state of business of the local inns, taverns, and bars.

    Seems that the Sisterhood is looking to purchase a premises to base their work in, here in the Jewel of the Icelace._

    Raman hears of the call from the priestess of Auril. He contacts a few others, making sure, that the message is received and then hastily leaves for Norwick.



  • Word is spread in the city, that Norwick is building a shrine of Auril and that all Aurilians in nearby regions should immediately arrive to the town of Norwick and contact Frostmaiden's representative in Narfell, priestess Meye Spark.
    Apparently She claims of having personal mandate from the Frostmaiden to arrange such a calling.



  • Another streak of inordinately cold weather seems to touch the city, a freezing snowstorm that comes just as swiftly as it passes. Scattered rumours speak of a great wolf-shape being visible in the drift of snowflakes, while others claim this a trick of the mind, the eyes, or just pure nonsense. Something seems to have sent a group of guards scurrying to the Bardic College though, and more than one citizen may have heard the sorrowful howling of a lone wolf before the storm faded.



  • _Word quickly spreads from City Hall to the ears of interested merchants and traders that the Senate has narrowly voted to maintain its trade agreement with the City of Oscura, to the consternation of its critics and the approval of those making a tidy profit out of the arrangement with them.

    In other rumours, despite the ongoing and reportedly successful series of meetings at City Hall between the Senate and the Chancellor of Norwick, word on the streets themselves is that Lord Dolvak is not long for this world, and that his beleaguered realm cannot possibly stand against the bugbear warlord Ostromog for much longer. Prior to the Chancellor's visit, few citizens could even tell you who or what Ostromog was, but it seems interest in Norwick's plight has increased as of late for some reason._



  • vague rumors of unknown origin claim that no threat, in comparison to 'a raising evil' from the rawlin's, are worthy of mentioning. No one knows what exactly is at play here, but supposedly it's neither goblins or bugbears work

    ***Well-known loudmouth Grak was in commons, sharing his views with all elves present. Rumors say that elven ears were bristling red due Grak's ill-mannered behaviour.

    Talking might have ended in blows unless for some dark clad person joining the crowd. After brief downtalking with this stranger, they actually found mutual understanding as both were trademen. After brief examination of some leathergoods, stranger gave large pouch which immediately disappeared within Graks chainmail. Stranger was rumored to be eager to continue trading as obviously Graks items were in demand. However before being able to haggle price of some wooden staves, Grak abrudly left***
    //had to instalog,sorry



  • An armed procession of Red Falcons from Oscura were seen, with an Oscuran Wizard at the front, carrying a large box to just outside the Temple of the Triad. There, the box was passed silently to a mysterious figure, then each went their own way.



  • Word spreads from the Commerce District of the visit of a towering Fire Giant, who clambered over the Western Walls and was escorted to stand in front of City Hall, where the Senate spoke with him from a balcony. By all accounts their discussion was brief, and the Giant left again very shortly. Rumour has it the old truce with the Fire Giants has finally fallen apart, and that the Defenders are scrambling to prepare for the potential wrath of the Giants.



  • Someone starts spreading a strange, but perhaps believable rumour about the Oscura auction.

    "Did you hear about Oscura? They've done themselves a Peltarch and started holding auctions to pay for the construction of another Church of Bane, the way I hear it, is that the original Church of Bane just can't hold all the Banites in their underworld!"



  • The Stonemasons Guild has begun work proper on the rebuilding of the Western Watchtower, under the watchful eyes of the Order of the Divine Shield. Apparently the Guild were uneasy about beginning work until now, but with the recent increase in Defender patrols in the foothills, they have finally committed the bulk of their labour force to the task. The work is highly sought after, as it comes with higher pay due to the inherent risk of being eaten by orcs.



  • A wild story flies around about a Hill Giant tippy-toeing through the Peltarch Commons, some versions of the same story claim at the Giant was going to the Mermaid for some of the house brew, Elidur Ginen's version of the story seems to tell a mixture of both tales, with the inclusion of himself acting as a hero for the city, and scaring the large brute off with as swish of his sword!

    There's no doubt about it, however. A Hill Giant running through the streets - whatever next?!



  • The rumor spreads that there was some conflict in the commons between Meye Spark, Grak and Hammerhand. As a result of the clash, unconscious half-orc Grak was seen to be carried into the jail by Adelie and Lisa



  • Rumor has it, acting like a know-it-all ass and interfering in city officials work constantly, may not be appreciated by some city officials.


  • ICC

    Rumor has it that quoting from the list of city ordinances in front of Defenders is now a crime punishable by… well, threats to make peoples' lives miserable when they are in the city. Sounds like corruption. It is also rumored that 'filthy' Oscurans are not wanted in Oscura and are frequently told they should go back to their 'tyrant ridden city.'
