Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
Rumour swirls around the city of an attack by demons in the Dancing Mermaid, and the death of at least one local, despite the best efforts of a mystery man. The guards were very quick to clean the scene up afterwards, and are doing their best to keep things quiet.
-
Apparently Lady Cassandra Je'laan has been waylaid and robbed by the infamous highwaygoblin FitzSqee for the third time, and has posted a reward of 9,000 gold pieces for his capture, dead or alive.
-
Rumors start spreading that a prostitute had found a corpse from the docks district. Some people are talking how they had heard from friend of their friend that the corpse was somehow mutilated, claiming it to be some soon to be serial killer that everybody should be wary of. Others put their bets on lone Kuo Toas getting up from water taking down lone persons. Most just shrug that off though and consider that someone must have had on wrong side of things with wrong person.

Eluriel walks through Peltarch in consternation.
-
Nicahh has been seen around Peltarch quite often as of late. Often times she is seen working at the soup kitchen along with three children, the youngest boy a bit on the rolly polly side, it obvious who his father is. When not in Peltarch, her horse is packed with packages of veggies and such as she heads south. Her children do not accompany her wherever she is going.
-
A rather… unusual sight greeted those in the Dancing Mermaid, of a hin with goggles buying drinks for people, sitting to listen to their stories. A bard looking for tales, or perhaps something more interesting? Could it be a detective?
-
It seems Mariston has a young guest staying at his home, as he buys in supplies for a baby.
-
A most unusual vision was seen withing the Dancing Mermaid. Ghosts of people dead near 30 years were reported to have walked into the inn during the middle of the night. One ghost a recognized hero and betrayer of Narfell during her lifetime, Kara Du'Monte. The other ghost was one of her N'Jast officers. It is said the ghost stood unaware of those in their surroundings with included Nicahh, Brynden and a whole host of bar maids. Instead the ghosts stood discussing the battle plans as if replaying a scene from history long passed.
-
Every tenth night, the Oscuran Noble Ferdinand Locke is seen renting a private room at the Dancing Mermaid Inn. During his stay in Peltarch he is known to frequent the bath house as well as the local shops. During any trials or court procedures he will also visit in and watch any which are open to the public.

Some of them may or may not become new citizens. Some use the gold to return to their families or homeland. Some try to get as far away from the place that enslaved them as possible. Some may remain to become citizens of Peltarch… either way, it was their choice to make and none other's, thus the gift of freedom.
// for sure. Marty is just making sure none of them experience "freedom shock", spend all their money on booze and whores and then end up on the streets.
The Wine and Ale Merchant's Union and the Courtesans' Guild strongly protest Senator Leaffall's actions as un-Peltarchian restraint of trade. Incidentally the Union is pleased to offer a 5-copper discount to anyone newly freed from bondage on gallon mini-kegs of gin, and the Courtesans' Guild is offering a buy-2-get-1-free special for any newly emancipated individuals who lack communicable diseases.
Like bees after honey, Grak is buzzing around the newly freed people. His well-used club is sticking from his pocket
"Dem slavery, eh? Grak dinks dat ya poor gits may nots wunt dat ta happen again, eh? Grak bes bit worrieds dat ya bes still weak und easily overwhelmed by thugs und crooks again. But ya gits bes lucky; Grak bes strong und with sum amount of coin, coulds look after ya bunch fer a while.. if ya pays half of dem amounts dem Trickster-senator gave ya..otherwise vermin bes switfly after ya again.."Tries to imitate caring and worried look, should ex-slaves should approach him about the offer
The triksy senator casually mentions to the freed slaves:
Dont listen to this half-orc. He's an idiot.. Do let the guards know if he tries to assault or rob you. He'll be promptly thrown in jail.

As she leaves the Triad Temple, Eluriel calls back to someone still inside
Well, Rith offered the use of their vault. I cannot imagine the others would object.

Senator Ronan is seen giving each of these individuals a heavy sack of coin. A few of them looking frightened. Nontheless, after he passes out the gold to each, he informs them that they are now free.
Senator Leaffall makes a priority of meeting up with these new citizens, helping them to find a place to live, showing them the best places to look for work, and generally helping them settle in.

_A troupe of Defenders and Senator Ronan Redralen were seen coming through the western gates of Peltarch with a group of what appeared to be rather ragged individuals. Twenty of them by count, many of them seemed skinny and worn, others seeming well fed… all of them wearing rags and the like, however. These people included men, women, and children alike. Their complexion pale, as if they had not seen sun in awhile..

//I just snort-giggled geekishly at work, reading this little gem of a song! All prefixes to 'finger' plucked directly from IG antics, well done!

<u>Operation: Scalefinger!</u>
@09c8bc05b2:
_"Scalefinger!
He's the goon, the goon with the reptile's touch!
A lizard's touch
Such a failfinger
Beckons you to enter his cave of sin
And we'll go in!Just a Snailfinger!
Slimy words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise that we're here!
For we all gnomely know that we'll box him
He's just a Flailfinger…Just Mister Quailfinger
Pretty gnome, beware of his kobold nose!
This nose has woes!Snakey words he will pour in your ears
But his lies can't disguise what he fears!
For we all gnomely know that we'll box him
He's just a Wailfinger...A Holy-Grail-finger
Pretty gnome, beware of his kobold nose
This nose has woes!
He loves only scale!
Only scale
He loves scale
He loves only scale
Only scale
He loves scale!"_Gnomish trio Caramella Besterdan, Gilda Haven and Perriwig P. Doubleday have returned from a recent trip into the swamps, replete with bounty snatched from the cold-blooded hands of the Kobold Menace. Taking tea and supper in a Peltarchian eatery, they contribute to the convivial atmosphere by irregularly bursting into snatches of this silly song. They seem to have convinced themselves that some lizardly kobold or lizardman super-villain in chief - called Scalefinger - has alluded them, despite their best pranking effort. "Next time" seems to be their motto, sure that the mythic villain will soon fall into their tricksy gnomish hands (despite the … ahem ... distinct probability that he exists only in their own addled heads..)

Despite rumors of Clayton going slowly mad due to a drow attack in the Rawlins with his lover Dondiah, the couple has been seen spending much time alone together in the Mermaid and have been spotted shopping and exploring the sewers.
