Tavern Rumors of Peltarch
-
_Jin makes a big production of the new rumors, strutting around town waving and grinning to his fans. He deals out words of encouragement to any norwick refugees that approach him about the PFLN, trying to keep their hopes up where he can.
He never actually admits to doing anything though, he just seems happy to embrace his new found fame and all the little perks that come with it for the time being._
-
If everything wasn't bad enough, it seems a storm has descended upon Peltarch.
-
_Rumor has it that the elven assassin Jin is now working for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Norwick, and killed a drug-buying Oscuran merchant within Oscura itself.
Several members of the Norwick refugee community are heard to hoist a tankard to Jin and the PFLN._
-
Rumour has it that a number of naked men ran out of the abandoned (and still damaged) mermaid last night, closely followed by Arlan Meynolt.
And if that wasn't enough, Arlan then coerced a newbie Guardswoman into going inside the inn with him. Much screaming was heard until renowned Arch-Mage and Staff-Law abuser Maria entered, who must have calmed things down. Shortly afterwards the Guardswoman was seen exiting the mermaid with a half-eaten human male corpse slung over her shoulder.
-
Word goes around the town of unrest amongst some quarters with the influx of refugees. Some say there's even been a murder, Peltarchian against Norwickian.
-
Scrawled on a dock quarter wall in bright red paint, many passerbys can see the following:
SECOND FRONT NOW!
DOWN WITH THE FURBALLS
KILL THE GREYS
PFLN
-
Many of the alley inhabitants of the docks area report of a crazy plate wearing elf trying to sneak around in the alleyways. His loud clanking footsteps are often followed by sounds of crashing and the running away of the areas felines!
-
_Kaboom! The Mermaid was attacked by powderkeg, leading to the deaths of many innocents.
One man killed himself being caught, a woman was arrested for the crime.
An angry crowd formed afterwards, blaming the event on all kinds of parties, from bugbears, to Oscura, to Kara herself!_
-
A drunk ship captain was assassinated in the Commons last night. Apparently the assassin was dressed was one of his crewmate, drank an invisibility potion and escaped with ease. The man was a foreigner, and it is unknown why he was targeted.
-
_Rumor has spread of an attack on the south gate of Peltarch. The assault was composed of a large number of Kobolds, and Lizardmen from the Marsh.
The Defenders aided by several sturdy adventures who happened to be near by in the commons, managed to beat off the attack.
I is whispered that the Leader of the attack, a large Lizardman, had Oscuran gold in his pouches….easy to come by to be sure, but unsettling none the less._
-
Far from distraught Thistle seems excited when the rumor comes to her ears and sets off south to see if it is true.
-
If the troubles in Norwick weren't enough rumors began to spread of a silver dragon being sighted on the long road.
-
Word quickly spreads that Oscura has begun trading with the occupiers of Norwick.
-
_The citizens of Peltarch are treated to an impromptu parade just a few days past.
The streets are filled with a multitude of Right-Sized folk as they process from the Icelace beach to the Theater. It seems as though the entire contents of the Silver Valley, including all their stock and provisions, have found a way to the City.
The mass exodus is led by Ginger, among other prominent Right-Sized leaders, and is escorted by several adventures who happened to be in the Commons when the group arrived. The transfer went off without a hitch, and soon the theater and streets of Peltarch are swarming with hin and gnomes.
As the last group enters the gates, a bright flash and the found of thunder is heard coming from the beach area, and away south._
-
_::The Peltarch Defender Shallyah is seen much less than before out in the streets, and when she is seen, she seems to be carrying with her a new inseparable partner - a small notebook, or sketch book that keeps her attention at all times unless disturbed.
Sometimes she makes anotations, others she just contemplates it for long periods of time, with pensive gesture.
Anyone coming close enough to see what's in it could see an orderly mess of dots, lines, crosses and arrows amongst other less obvious symbols that on first glance don't seem to make any sense::_
-
_Sirion pukes all over the commons for nearly two days straight and doesn't die.
Other spellcasters vomit as well, but none for as long.
It's almost impressive.
And incredibly gross._
-
general Grag is seen entering the temple of Triad it iis rumored he had a long prayer with Daisy and other Tyr devotees*
-
Olwyn Wyvernskull, devout paladin of Helm, reads the note wearing a solemn expression. She takes a note of the three names listed on the appended sheet and marches off to find them.
-
A board is leaned up against the inside of one of the mermaid walls before/until its removed. A piece of parchment nailed to it.
In charcoal a name is written and plenty of paper is left as if indicating others should list as well.
From Norwick Now Safe
Corwin A.
Havon(( Hereafter is Syied's editing. ))
_An additional parchment is placed beside the list, reading:
"We are attempting to rally refugees and survivors from Norwick into what we will call the Norwick Remnant. All may apply. We seek to ensure our own survival and that of Peltarch. Contact Ardent, Arlan, or Havon."_
-
Having allowed sufficient time for the popularity of the catchy song about the praises of Aerdrie as composed and sung by Bon settle in with the unwashed masses, the Winged Brother Therean leads a brief procession of music through the districts of the city to attract some interest, culminating with a brief sermon upon the marketplace soapbox and a question and answer period should any people be interested in what he has to say.
