Tavern Rumors of Peltarch


  • Perriwig P. Doubleday is admiring the boats in the Docks when the battered cog limps in. Recalling his own recent sailing adventures on the Icelace with a gulp, and eyeing the rents in the hull, he turns to his gnomish companions - Gilda Haven and Caramella Bestefaren - and hoots…

    "Gadzooks, look at those gashes! What the devil could have done such a thing?"


  • _One of Sir Mariston's new trading cogs limps back into harbor, huge gashes in its hull and spooked-looking sailors lining the railing with harpoons.

    The captain, Wilhelmina Dal, can be seen disembarking and hurrying towards the Temple of the Triad, muttering something to her first mate along the lines of, "I think we're going to need a bigger boat."_


  • Given the… excitement... in the city of late, many wealthy people are availing themselves of exotic means of getting away from it all.

    Cassandra Je'laan has opened a floating pleasure-barge which has been navigating the river, serving as a sort of floating dinner party and revel.

    Rumor has it that Captain Odrim Hollowmoon will be opening passenger service on an actual flying ship to Damara, where, they say, a Peltarch-backed consortium will be opening a casino called the City of Brass.


  • Some angry shouting was heard in the Loanshark's office, and a rather angry couple stormed out just as it stopped.


  • ….Troff orders 2


  • … so does Sy.


  • … Brynden orders a Fenz Potion Package.


  • ((I very, very nearly laughed out loud.. at work.


  • @d9695987c4=Fraoch:

    Whatever its provenance, it seems that Fenz's new scent is all the rage. No fewer than three well-turned-out ladies have been seen vying for his attention.

    Fenz is later heard addressing a small crowd curious as to the rumors.

    "Ladies! Look at me. Then look at your man. Then back to me. Then back to your man. Then back to me. Now look at your coinpouch. It's not there! The Judiciall Nypper just made off with it. Now look at the Guard. Now back to me. I'm not a Guard. But I smell better than a Guard, even a Guard in hot pursuit of the thief with YOUR coinpouch. Hot means sweaty. If that Guard were me, which he's not, he'd have used Auld Fenz Boddie Scent and would be RIDING A MAGICAL THIEFTAKING PONY, with a scorpion tail, and your coinpouch would be as good as returned. Now look to my hand. Nothing. Then look at your belt. Nothing. Then back to my hand. It's a genuine Fenz Potion Package, with three strengths of healing potion, a potion of speed, and my trademark scent. If you'd bought it, you could have chased down that thief, or sent your man to do it, but you didn't, because you don't smell like me, and neither does your man. I'm on a rant stand."


  • Whatever its provenance, it seems that Fenz's new scent is all the rage. No fewer than three well-turned-out ladies have been seen vying for his attention.


  • As the Docks return to business as usual, something less than usual begins to occur. Large mobs of youngsters, most of them too young for regular dockwork, are rounded up by Seafarer officials and taken to the Guildhall. When they emerge they divide up into smaller groups and scatter around the district, cleaning up debris, fixing up shop fronts damaged in the riots and generally sprucing up the Docks. By the end of a couple of weeks, the place looks like the riots never happened. None of the merchants or traders are charged by the boys for the cleaning and repair work. It seems they are being paid well enough as is.


  • For anyone happening to wander by the house, Aelthas is seen with a pile of broken dishes sitting on the street beside him and a man is there changing the locks on the door. Maybe some thief tried to break into the house and steal something and they got into a dish fight?


  • Rumors abound of a Defender patrol returning with two half-decomposed bodies found in a sweep of the lakeside cave in the cliffs in the Western Foothills.


  • ::At the Temple of the Triad, Mariston is can be found, ((PM if you want))::


  • Rico Swift is seen going to the Temple of the Triad and the Wilting Flower, one after the other, asking to speak to the other Paladins and Priests of the land, including Lacey, who shares his devotion to the Goddess of Love and Beauty. He shoos away any onlookers who approach him during the trip, and leaves as quick as he came. Scuttlebutt says Norwick kicked him out.


  • A couple of merchants mention something about Mulhorandi folk living down in Oscura.


  • _Eluriel is back in the docks district yet again. This time she makes her way directly to the boat, staying until she finds an FTC vessel which she walks up to have a chat and leave a pre-written note.

    She still asking for a guide to Mulhorand.

    And interested in the wares of anyone selling tokens of romance._


  • Celad has been seen asking around for Yana. Never tells anyone why, just says he wishes to speak to her.

    He has also been spending all of his time in Peltarch or the nearby areas. Rumor has it that he has aquired Peltarch citizenship papers.


  • _Having left the city for a day then spent considerable time in the trades hall upon her return, Eluriel is back to wandering the streets.

    While she still makes mention of wishing a guide to Mulhorand it seems that she's now trying to find a gift for a sweetheart._

  • V

    Daveth stands on the docks holding a torch and looks around, seemingly slightly surprised he's alone

    "Down with things!"

    Then he shrugs, drops his torch and walks off in the direction of the Three Legged Mule.
