Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
_A shaggy sailor has recently arrived in Peltarch, frequenting the Lucky Ferret and has been happily buying drinks and wenches, telling all sorts of outrageous tales.
Didrik Pothorst, as he introduces himself, seems happy to tell any of a sea shanty. Why he is in Peltarch, he doesn't say though._
-
_Accompanied by Roland Brymnor, Eluriel exited Hemrod's with trails of congealing blood on her armour. The pair looked around the building before the knight escorted the elf to the Temple.
A somewhat skittish looking Eluriel returns the following day to leave a box of sweet berry tarts for Hemrod._
-
Fadia, the elven former archdruid, has been a regular fixture in the city for the past few tendays. What has drawn someone normally only rarely seen in the city to spend so much time there is, thus far, a mystery.
-
_Rumor and gossip has it that Miss Euphemia Villers threw a glass of wine full into the face of Mrs. Hortencia Spence-Ashald during a night of revelry aboard Lady Cassandra Je'laan's floating revelry barge, leading to a minor brawl in which Sir Edward Tate had his monocle broken and the elven fig-artiste Elowyndil Tantalomoleth was pushed overboard, to the utter ruin of her gown and elaborately coiffed hair.
Social battle lines are reportedly being drawn._

The Sunite Knight Rico Swift appeared suddenly in the Commons the other day, covered in bits of blood, ichor, fascia, and ash. He grabbed the nearest urchin and said "Quick lad, tell me what year it is!"
After the response he said "I'm back!" and gave the lad a gold piece and the heartwarder's blessings for the trouble.

In the classic drinking game of one upping stories, late one night a very drunk dock worker starts raising his voice..
Wait wait.. wait now! I've gotten a good ones for allof ye. You knowin' these here stories and stuff of like pasts things.. well, I be seein' something from the future! I have, I have. Wasn't but a day or so ago, I'm tallin ye all… Smacking at the hand of his friend who is trying to quiet him down.. Stop that shite. It was that guard, the yellow 'aired elf I'm tellin' ye. But older and in a dress… and let me tell ye what else. Lowers his voice down, Everythin' must be -completely- different in the future, cause I'm tellin ye, that guard didn't know SHITE about where anythin' was anymore, and was wearin' a dress. Crazy thing had to ask directions to an inn… gone! I'm tellin' you.. Everything must be gone!
Looks violently ill a moment..GONE!!
He collapses face down to everyone's laughter.

_Belma'r the Slaad Savior has been seen around Peltarch warning people about something to come. He warns of "not fun chaos" coming soon and they better be prepared, but not to worry because "fun chaos" will be there to fight it, and even "crazy law and stuff" might help a little.
He just needs to know who and where the "Laughing Lady" is._
-
Dwin Dolvak, the courageous and kind ex-Chancellor of the Mighty Realm of Norwick is seen more often that usual in the Pearl. He's been on a bit of a shopping spree, rumors say, purchasing many "suitable outfits" for social life in Petlarch. Some even say that he has been looking for an apartment to rent.
-
With a smile and a shake of his gauntleted hand, MacAllister gives thanks to the kindly knight, and begins another search… this time, with a name to aid him.
-
::Within the temple a kindly knight in blue and gold suggests the man continue his search by seeking the Knight Roland Brynmor, a paladin of Helm::
-
A man in hunter and azure plate, calling himself MacAllister has been speaking with everyone in the Temple, as well as the mermaid about faithful followers of Helm. He wears no emblems or symbols, but it seems he has found a great interest in the Everwatchful.
Those who may hear him hear that he has been spending time in the temple, praying for guidance, but aside from that he knows not how to learn more.
-
Disaster in the harbour! It seems a Seafarer vessel leaving the bay ran smack onto a huge stone spike inexplicably sticking out of the bottom of the harbour, causing it to rapidly take on water and sink. A valuable cargo of peppers was ruined, although nobody was killed.
Many people are now asking what the devil a bloody huge stone spike was doing jutting out of the bay to begin with.

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.
