::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
The rain is back. Whatever caused the month long rain in the first place seems to have returned. Clouds hover all over the sky of Peltarch and adventurer's pull their hoods up. Rain coats become a comon sight… on people and a less common one in shops. Except for those who welcome the rain, everyone hopes the rain would end sooner rather than later.
-
_Elissa keeps mentioning and complimenting the Peltarch senate on their latest decision. She is particularly impressed by their proper use of caution in outlawing any and all magic-based powers.
In an unrelated rumor it seems two blond recent arrivals to the city began a harmless chat with a magistrate in the market. At some point a word was mentioned and the meeting then moved away from the streets and prying ears. People wonder which word could have caused such a strange behavior. Some say it was 'dragon', others 'drow' and some few insist it was 'glass'._
-
Mecizq is seen about Peltarch making mention that he has several suits of solid steel fullplate for sale. A match for the best quality brass and near the finest you can get in the Narfell region.
-
Those in the docks notice a sizeable contingent of Guards and Defenders posted at the main sewer entrance together with a number of Divine Shield knights. Several are seen going in and leaving at different intervals, before sealing the entrance again in a few days.
-
Rumors spread of regular Legion patrols fom Jyiid to Pelt and back. These patrols happend at least once per day and are mostly lead by Major Kull of the Legion, other ranked legionares and the new recruits.
When asked for the price for the escort till pelt and vice versa, Kul can be heard saying:dee escort iz free. We charge nae shineez couse it be our duty da make sure da pass is free o gobbers fer travelers and merchants travel safely
KULL (Half Orc Barbarian, Training Officer and Major in the Legion)
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!”
-
Rumors fly about a confrontation between a 'lizardman' paladin of Tyr and a pack of Umberlant's in Tyr's temple. Seems the devout of the queen thought it alright to raise one of their own within the holy walls of Tyr's temple.
Lucky for the Umberlants they were granted mercy this one time. But if seen within the walls of the temple ever again, they would face a fate reserved only for the most vile of evil doers.
-
Nate is seen enquiring for a precise date that the senatorial meeting will be held.
-
_There's a collective sigh of relief as the last of the clouds move on and the downpour of rain finally stops. Those with the attention span of less than a month wonder if there has been a Peltarch before the rain at all. Those and the people who only recently arrived, though, welcome the change in weather and everyone else just hopes that whatever caused the month-long constant rain will not happen again.
The wiser people merely state that after the rain is before the rain._
-
_The occurances with wild magic seem to be growing in scale by the day. Latest rumours suggest that twists of weave hijacked a few adventurers randomly from around the Narfell area and landed them in unknown caverns.
The tiny group is said to have fought through goblins, bugbears, ettins and an army of zombies on their way back to surface. Some even say they managed to destroy an altar of an evil goblinoid deity on their way. Apparently they somehow managed to find a magical way out of the caverns and ended up in a cave near Ormpur.
Bormus of the Troff clan, Danaley Notten of the Guardians, and Norwick militiaman/Black Sail Paci Kelteel are often mentioned in the rumours to have been involved in this escape from the undermountain._

A puzzled dwarf enquires where this aura is…and whin yis en'er whit?
-
Due to the current chaotic state of the Weave, Clandra seems to have aquired an aura of energy that tends to slay all who enter. Many men (and women) in the city weep.
-
_Lilin and Equinox are seen carrying a bundle into the Pheonix guild office in Peltarch, after appearing outside the walls.

Rumor has it a man named Vincent is offering safe passage through the nars to those that pay for his services… little is known how much he is charging though

_It seems that Peltarch has acquired another citizen, for more and more of late, Lady Aspera Chillwind, Elf Enchantress and former Magistrate of brutal reputation has been seen, strolling in her fine gown and glittering apparel through the collonades and streets of the city.
Some have muttered that she has returned to take up the empty Magisterial chair, others remember that Syne, a fellow elf, had been her Inquisitor, and that such acquaintainces hardly bode well, in any case.
Nevertheless, her manner has been restrained, even in various reported, somewhat heated discussions with Zyphlin, and the gallant Senator Roland. She has not appeared to age since her long departure - a state some peasants imagine comes from bathing in the blood of virgins. Quite how a virgin is likely to be found in a bardic city such as Peltarch, however, is a matter which defies explanation…_
-
Rumours and stories tell of a massive army of extremely powerful hobgoblins overrunning the Nars pass. A handful of brave defenders managed to keep the first wave of these hobgoblins with unforeseen powers at bay but the second wave was just too much. At least four of the valiant heroes are said to have been cut down by the massive axes, huge ice storms and continuous lightning bolts of the highly trained hobgoblins. No one seems to know where these armies came from and who trained and equipped them.
-
Those who go there, can find lizardfolk corpses near the edge of their territory, ripped appart by a large humanoid, something around troll size. They look like the thing that killed them is really pissed at the lizardfolk: arms ripped out, heads crushed like mellons, holes in chests you could stick your head through…
//my wizard enters invisible, goes into troll shape, and would exit invis if he were able to use a rod, which he should be able to do, having fingers//

Hobgoblins have invaded the Nars Pass, too. Travelers should be careful.
