::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Admist the shadows of the moonlight, a small dark figure sneaks near to the corpse of the Basheban, his face leans closer to eye her face.
"Damn! Wretch died too soon for the good for me plans!"
-
those watching the sky the other day may have seen an unusual sight approaching the city from the Ice Lake. At first it appeared simply two birds, but as it approached they took on the shape of humans, apparently flying. Rumors abound as to who it was or why they were coming, though most rumors speculate that they figures landed on bard street, perhaps assassins after the Headmaster's life.
-
Keira tracks down the resting place of the Beshaban and chants softly under her breath before burning some spirits in tribute. As always, she's quiet, composed and focussed on her task.
-
Rumours spread quickly that the Cerulean Lieutenant Eowiel Senella actually attacked the personal guard around Defender Captain Varid, naturally she was quickly subdued and taken into custody, where there was much wild speculation as to what was happening to her or if she were even alive after what certainally seemed like an unprovoked attack of treacherous nature to most onlookers. She was seen later that evening, however, being lead to the Jails where she was apparantly Court Marshalled. Her exact sentence is a matter of speculation.
((EDIT BY LINAH. Remember folks, you can not decide the reaction of NPC´s unless asked to do so by a DM. great postings otherwise. keep it up =))

Gildor isn't hiding her joy about the news regarding the Beshaban b!+<#
-
Said Beshaban b!+<# was carried into the city by Captain Anakore of the Cerulean Knights, and taken to the temple of Tyr for last rites and burial.
-
Amist the upheaval with the unaligned Defenders forming up in the streets rumors of a duel between Nars folk and one of Peltarch's own esteemed citizens. The victor, identified as Gailyn, challenged the Nars merchant because the Nars man was harassing an unarmed and unarmored elven woman. The nerve of those savages! Perhaps we've finally had enough of those barbarians and that's what all the fuss is about! When asked about it Gailyn waves dismissively with a grim demeanor mumbling about a Beshaban b!+<# interfering!

(this poem was inspired by an annonymously authored Holocaust poem, which I think is titled "I Said Nothing".)
Tacked to the doors and walls of the city, the following poem is scattered throughout all districts of Peltarch and the Town of Jiyyd.
_The Price of Nothing
They arrived in the city and gathered disciples together to pray
A cathedral of domination and standing just inside the lines
Their hearts black we knew it only boded things of evil
Suspecting their plots and plans they made from cover of shadowsBut we said nothing
They sought and acted to create dissention amongst ourselves
The city heart filling with growing doubt along the lake shores
And infighting arose and we knew where the roots of it lay
The source of the black poison that filled the hearts of the foundationBut still we said nothing
Then they began to seek out the attackers of our chosen leaders
In strange curiosity and growing interest in the violent actions
Wishing maybe to aid and remove our lawmakers and protectors
Exchanging them for a chosen of their pack of abusive handsAnd yet still we said nothing
They gather power through disciples
They create dissention amongst us
They act to replace what is ours with theirsThey do this from the shadows
We know the truth
But have no proof of itAre our hands truly bound from action?
All we do is wait
And still we say nothing
Tomorrow
They will force us
To serve
To fear
To submitWith their wills in mind and not our own
For this is what we waitThe price of nothing
Soon we will be unable to say anything at all

Rumor has it that a man was brought to the commons stark naked after trying to rob and forcefully bed a woman. Seems a Deacon Sterr, and Drelan Ashire were able to contain the man and keep him from fleeing until a proper guard could be roused. Whether or not the man ever made it to the prision considering the restricted access currently, is unknown. The woman seemed was shaken, but was tended to and should be fine.
-
A giant, clawed burrowing creature has been causing havoc in the commerce district, it's hideous appearance causing panic in the common folk. The guard were unable to catch the creature as it fled off. Rumors that the creature was actually an insane, transformed wizard who is currently wanted by the city are yet to be confirmed.
-
At least one person, Drelan Ashire, seems evidentally not afraid of the defenders that have so kindly placed themselves in almost corner of the city and ran everyone out of their areas and sometimes homes. Whether he's just stupid, or wishes to die is yet to be seen, though he seems very intent on reaching the docks for some ceremony that he complains he has been unable to do the past days in honor of the lady of the lance board due to the disrespectful unworthy as he calls them. He has asked to speak to their commanding officers multiple times since most as he says, do not have enough pride or courage to even give their names but so far he has been refused audience.

D_Damien has recently been telling a story of a Kobold that sings hangiing around the western gates. He claims he heard it and tried to speak with it but understably it ran off. He has offered a drink to anyone that can provide him with further information on the kobold._

@c18bfa2f4c=Shaggy311:
Rumors are that two succubuses appeared in the center of the commerce district. Lookin' like two naked women, they came and attacked two men. Both men were overwhelmed, but some of the women in the Mermaid were not too convinced they put up a decent fight.
And somewhere in the great gaming hall in the sky Bromely looks for Kanen.

_A heavily armored dwarf is see walking up to the bar and banging his hand on the table. He places an order for ale and mutter to keep them coming.
As he drinks he keeps looking around, and jumps anytime he hears a word that sounds like "awaken".
He continues to down the ales and glance about the tavern, as if making sure nothing sneaks up on him._
-
The paladin Mariston Thel is seen around the city a shield never from his arm, the shield is covered in a cloth with Torms holy symbol emblazoned upon it. The young paladin looks rather preoccupied. Also for a time a strange light encompassed the paladin.
-
Corpses line Bard Street in the Commerce District, and soldiers in green armor keep a silent vigil over the bloody cobblestones as night falls. Rumours spread of a wounded Senator being carried off by his wife to a quiet home; little more is said but some note that Daisy appears to have left the temple.

*A new song is posted about the city of Peltarch in the same fashion as the previous songs: Under the cover of night, and pinned to the sides of buildings with arrows. However, this time… the song has a decidedly different spirit to it... *
_Three thirty in the morning,
Not a soul in sight,
The city’s lookin’ like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night.
Raindrops on the warriors shield,
There’s a storm moving in.
He’s headin’ back to some place
That he never should have been.
But the bards will know.
But the bards will know.Every light is burnin’
In the house’s of the town.
He’s pacin’ by the seashore
with his cloak hood pulled down.
Askin’ for miracle,
Hopin’ that he’s right,
Prayin’ that the shadow’s
keep him safe throughout the night.
And the bards will know.
And the bards will know.(chorus)
The bards will know,
And the Bard shall strike.
To the killers he’ll show
his anger this night,
As his song rings forth
Out of his soul
Deep in their hearts
The bards will know.Now they’re waiting in their alley’s
When he walks off towards the dock.
They rush him with blades high
A ravenous flock.
But on the wind that night
A strange new song was heard
And the lightnin’ flashes in his eyes
And they knew the final word.
And the bards will know.
And the bards will know.(chorus)
The bards will know,
And the Bard shall strike.
To the killers he’ll show
his anger this night,
As his song rings forth
Out of his soul
Deep in their hearts
The bards will know.They run back down their alley’s
To that shady inn door.
They head up towards their boss,
Hiding on the second floor.
Telling the boss at the table,
They won’t do this again.
Cause tonight will be the last time
that they’ll ever do that sin.Cause the bards will know.
Cause the bards will know.Nighthawk of the Menagerie_

Rumors spreads of a girl who was seen running through the area covered from head to toe in mud screaming "I'VE BEEN JYNXED!"
According to the rumors, she was wearing only rags and was covered so completely in mud that it was impossible to discern her facial features or hair color, or even her race, only that she was, in fact, female.
When asked what had happened she exclaims wildly:
"I've been JYNXED! I fell asleep with all my belongings. Gold, clothes, weapons, armor, everything! When I woke up I was miles from where I was camping. I awoke in a large puddle of mud. There was a man standing over me dressed in all black. I could barely see his face, but I think he had white hair."
"He said, 'FOR YOUR SINS YOU HAVE BEEN JYNXED!'. Then he disappeared into the darkness."
When asked which way and where, she she vaguely points off into the distance and then runs away. She hasn't been seen since.
