Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
_Tragedy!
Lady Cassandra Je'laan's party barge hit a suspiciously shaped spike of rock in the river that hadn't previously been there, and sank. Those in the water were set upon by 'demon sharks' and many were messily devoured.
Nobody's seen Lady Je'laan since and it's thought she may have become chum.
Many nobles can be seen mourning friends and a really good party._

Those in the Mermaid last night may have spotted two redheads chatting away at a table, one female, and one male… and then none.
They came back later, presumably ... same shape and voices, but armed and waring barkskin like a fashion statement, in the middle of the room.
Seems things are getting interesting again in the Mermaid.
-
Confused reports from a small mining outpost across the Icelace indicate that rampaging xorn and elementals have collapsed the shafts and slaughtered the miners. Several investors are seen hurrying to the Dunderstone estate in the city in consternation.
-
Hearing news of the recent air-ship disaster, those in the Mermaid can observe local mage Tom pausing from a heated poker match to suddenly exclaim:
"The humanity, oh the humanity!"
-
There is widespread grief in several households in Peltarch tonight as word reaches the city that Odrim Hollowmoon's flying ship, the Ludendorff, has crashed on its maiden passenger flight to Damara. There are reported to be no survivors.
-
After Mariston's speech, and the mention of people being banned from the Temple of the Triad, a familiar black and green clad Druid shrugs, and simply walks away from the spectacle, commenting;
"Mind, there must be other reasons to ban a person from a temple, too. Druids especially. "

@a7f62ef881:
Due to the recent news about slaves from both Norwick and Peltarch, there was an attempted break out by about ten slaves to escape to the safety of the surface.
Their mutilated bodies now decorate the Raven Rift, staked on display, which has put off any further escapes quite successfully.
_These rumours having floated their way to Peltarch, Eluriel and Ronan discuss the matter in the commons. They wonder why slaves would try to push their way through guards to escape without any plan. If they wished to die, surely killing themselves or each other quickly would have been a better route than this.
Likely something created by Oscurans. Both to discourage any geniune attempts to escape, and a poorly thought out plan to coerce a rescinding of the new laws._
If ever hearing these rumours Vlaimdir politly points out that slaves are valuable to their owners and would not give them up lightly for death and mutilation
-
_The next ship in from Damara bears the news that Sir Efraim Bleys' casino there, the 'City of Brass', has burned to the ground in a pyroclasm of epic proportions. Deaths are said to be in the dozens.
Many people are saying that the Red Wizards of Thay are behind it._

On his way to the Senate, a stout senatorial advisor chuckles when he hears this last rumor.
"Ha! …well now... according to that magician-senator, all of these "visions" are all true... at least they are when they deal with visions of other people.
I wonder if he will change his story now that he's the star of one of these vile stories?"
-
Said object of hatred is currently wearing her hood pulled foward and clipped in place at all times while inside of Peltarch's walls. When it is time to rest Eluriel leaves the city entirely against a visitor greeting her unawares.
-
_Rumors spread of the wartime images appearing in the Peltarch commons recently. They consisting of deceased General Lavindo appearing in the commons, and attacking the blue elf known as Eluriel, hatred in his eyes. Another consisting of the druid who called himself Arthro and senator Ronan from wartime attacking folks in the commons.
All images are reported to be entirely confused once arriving in the commons, and appear to rant about things from the N'jast war… as if it were still happening. They are also reported to be quite dangerous if agitated._
-
A group of Legionaires lead by General Theaon stopped in Peltarch looking as if they were selling some loot. They suddenly disappeared. The next day they were seen entering the commons from the Residential District looking like they've been in a big fight. Some might hear rumors that they travelled back in time to the N'Jast invasion. General Theaon was heard saying something about demons in Peltarch, and how it must not affect this timeline.
-
A weird rumor spreads of orcs walking around the bottom of the Peltarch harbor.
-
Benji is heard cursing as he shuffles around town looking for something
<g>WHAT THE FARK!
Where's that STUPID board where all the payed advertisements go?
I HAVE SOME IMPORTANT SHITE TO ANNOUNCE!
((Is there a dedicated thread for posting advertisements that have been payed for?))</g>

_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.
