::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Thazar-De Moonrise, the vertically challenged Banite, seems to have taken an interest in kobold activities, especially with the demise of the high mage. In an unrelated rumor, people talk of having heard strange sounds, as if women were mourning. Some say it is but the wind, some say it is the signs of a powerful demon, some say it's just crazy bards.
-
_Captain Anakore of the Knights of the Cerulean Stars, though not a common sight in the city as of late, can been seen and heard speaking with pride about his Knights recently. Especially Mecizq receives praise about his excellent work defeating a major threath of a Kobold Mage in the foothills.
His reluctance to discuss politics during the elections seems to have faded, and his praise for his Lieutenant Eowiel's excellent campaign is not something he hides. Rumor has it that the Cerulean Knights, who until now have not chosen a candidate to support, might be gathered behind one or more candidates soon._

Hjoichi Olsen was recently seen in the Mermaid inn distributing some rare ales and beers to various members of the Far Scouts. He seemed in good spirits.

A group of adventurers came into town through the west gate. One of them handed the body of a kobold, rapped in a blood soaked blanket to a guard, stating that it was the body of the so-called "High Mage"

_::Rumours are heard of the Gnoll Zombies and the attacks on travellers passing near the ruins of the Romani Camp. Some even say the threat is spreading, though it is unclear whether there is any truth to this…
In a possibly related matter... Hewn and rotten corpses and limbs were scattered across the park in the Peltarch Commons, before being gathered and burned. A perimeter was set up to maintain vigil...
Some fear it is a sign that the same doom that befell the camp is destined for the rest of the land... Others aren't too worried about it.::_

She gets her monthly payment of 1 fish and walks off staggering

After a supposed attack by the Shadow druid on the commons of Peltarch. Several people headed out the west gate to confront several animals and later Lieutenant Ashald was seen dragging the druid Oreth to jail and later releasing him. Some speak of the arrest of Oreth for crimes of assault, Aarron is silent on the matter stating it is city business and it will be dealt with.
-
Eastlanders attacked Peltarch again, starting with an assassination attempt on the leader of the Far Scouts, followed by a heavy bombardement of the south watchtower. With losses, the attack was halted and the Eastlander's turned, their catapults destroyed.
–
In the following days, an armored man wearing a pendant with the symbol of Gond, who some might know as Strauss, has been inspecting the damage to the watchtower, taking careful notes of the damage done.

Once more vines broke through the stone of the commons, sticking to people's legs and slowing them down for quite some time. Apparently, the roots of these weird plants run deep, as with their appearance, this time, rats were driven out of their holes, spewing forth into the commons, their diseased teeth almost killing an elf.
-
Sil spreads word in the city that she was told by a bandit that "Atol has come out of retirement." Apparently, the bandit leader was able to restore his youth with a magic potion, and seeks vengeance for the deaths of his troops.
-
Yolande has been recently seen in the company of Deacon Sterr. Their talks appear serious, and are often kept in low tones. After many such conversations, Yolande can be seen heading to the docks district.
-
There's talk of another cloud descending on Peltarch. This time the birds came down on unsuspecting people that talked quietly in the commons. After the attack vines broke out of the cobblestones and grabbed those fighting off the birds. Talk has it, that the Magistrate Anna played an important role. But it is also said that the bulk of the attack was taken on and defeated by a small group of Banites.
-
The redhead known by many names ((Red-Haired Warrior)) can often be seen running around Peltarch, following another woman and spends a lot of time in the Peltarch Figher Academy. What little spare time she has, is spend in the library of the City Hall, studying books about a ruined city and its treasures in the nearby Giantspire.
-
Here and there, near the city, bodies of Eastlanders, kobolds and a variety of other creatures have been found. Not merely killed by weapons, the empty husks that remains seem to have had the very life sucked out of them, terror and suffering still evident in their facial expression.

::Through messengers, coppies are sent to Nyda, the Senate, the Magistrates and Captains of the Defenders::
To All Concerned-
I, High Priestess Daisy, certify that woman known as Ms. Nyda has been treated and cured of the Dreamstone Plague. Please pardon any delay of notice on my part, we have much to worry about and do these days. I would not be the only negligent in reporting though, if it is not known that Ms. Nyda is not the first case of the plauge seen inside the city walls.Through the vigilence of the Temple and Tyr, I beleive we have and shall continue to be spared the brunt of the plauge. Let us all pray that we continue to be. I would suggest an eye be ekpt on the less fortunate of the city. They've the most likely to be the peicenter of any outbreak. Our stroes of spider pass fenberries could always be improved.
High Priestess Daisy of Tyr

Talks of a strange bard are floating around the inn… It seems a poster had been put up on the bulletin board in Peltarch... The bard known as Vittorio would preform soon...

The cold winter chill has found it's way to Peltarch, creeping over the icelace lake, it has now reached even the city and holds it in its icy grasp. People hurry along the streets, afraid to stay out too long, even huddled in thick layers of fur, sometimes the cold touch of the season can be felt. Rumor has it, that a small group ventured out to seek out some followers of Auril. But they return without having changed anything. In hushed whispers there's even talk of an alliance between the Knights and the servants of Auril. But probably that's just idle talk, while people are stuck inside, sitting near warm fires.
