::New rumours heard in the Mermaid::
-
Rumor has it it odd sounds have been heard from local citizens homes. Apparently from under the homes. This has caused a bit of a stir and talks of haunted houses run about.
-
Dwin Dolvak, dressed in his finest robes has been asking around the Mermaid for an enchanter that could assist him with a project.
He makes it very clear that money is no object.
He also mentions the name Attentus several times, in that someone has said that he would be one possible candidate.
((PM if anyone is interested))

Shortly after the supper hour one night, Hjoichi Olsen is seen exiting Mariston Thel's abode with a worried look on his face. For the next several days it was noticed that much of his time going between the Order Watchtower and the Town Hall Library.

An explosion, large enough to be noticed across the civic district, happened at the Defender HQ one evening. As only Defender personel normally allowed inside the HQ, rumours as to the cause of this explosion fly. Many bring up a possible connection to the explosion that happened in the sewers some time ago.

Two armoured figured returning from a kobold expedition can be heard as they pass through the commons, talking on the ghoul fever thats causing issues. Apparently it can strike the living, causing people to slowly turn, while still looking like normal humans, though it would be curable by Daisies magic, and they are heard to remark that any feeling ill should see Daisy for a checkup.
Following this they vanish into the temple of Tyr and remain for several hours.

A young, pretty city elf who goes by the name of Caling is looking for work.
She claims to be a 'relocation specialist and removal expert'. She can be contacted at Bjornik Halehammer's Locksmith and mechanition emporium where she helps out part-time.'Anything considered, except really bad things like killing and stealing, unless it's funny.'

Word travels around that the Kuo-Tua are becoming more active outside their caves. According to some people, they have been sending small raiding parties into the pass, but retreat back to their caves if they have the lesser force.

Recent events in the crafters hall have left great big holes in the floor. The master crafters seem rattled, ranting on about undead creatures emerging from below. A party of adventurers ventured down into the sewers to investigate the matter and were spotted leaving after a lenghty period of time, all alive but looking much worse for wear. The source of the undead infestation remains as yet unknown.

[A young man with light brown hair is often seen in the Peltarchian commons, chatting casually or studying from a small dark blue book, the holy symbol of Mystra embedded on it's hard cover.]

_Foilir Dolvak, puts his feet up on his desk and instructs Nor that the Master Smith does not meet with dead men.
Eating an apple and drinking an ale, he laughs as he prepares to go visit the Stonemasons._

Though officially declared dead, the Gondar priest Dentin Strauss walks into the city gates late one evening, looking older and greyer than before, and non too pleased, heading directly to the Defender HQ. In morning, he walks around the city, meeting with many craftsmen and merchants. Apparantly, he is attempting to set up a gathering of the city's workers.

Sir Richard Luis is seen leaving the city numerous times to train Squire Frazh. It appears the commute is slightly taking a toll on him for he is spending less time speaking with people in the commons. His dedication to the children is unwavering and is seen still helping with the orphanage. His eyes show of a knight that is tired but his heart and atittude show that of determenation and perseverance.
-
His mental fatigue seemingly passed, Dentin has regained his former dedication, despite an apparant death to a wild animal. More open and social than before, he seems to have found his balance once more.

Fairbright Glass, young Imam of Torm, was seen sadly carrying the body of a young woman in from the Western Foothills to Priestess Daisy. When asked he claims to not know the woman but only found her lying in the field, near to the gate. He gathered what he could of her things and holds them in the hopes that someone comes to claim them.
-
In the past few days, not long after a lenghty venture into the Underdark, Dentin has become increasingly more depressed.
He wanders the city aimlessly, attending to his duties as a Defender on only a marginal level and often found sitting in corners with a dull stare.
While some whisper that the cause lies with his venture underground, others blame lady trouble, and yet more claim that his spirit simply broke down, similar to an old and rusty machine.

_After considerable controversy, the trial of Senator Roland Brynmor has concluded at last. Among the crowds seen leaving the courthouse are nearly every high ranking political and military figure in Peltarch. It is said Senator Torin Bravickus led the prosecution with impressive ferocity, but Brynmor was defended ably by Sir Shannon D'Arneau and the famed (infamous?) former Magistrate Zyphlin Re'cual. At least one witness was apparently struck dead by dark magic, while another was dragged from the courtroom by guards. City Herald Hark Thril was attacked in the streets on his way to deliver testimony, but survived with the help of Defenders and Cerulean Knights. Magistrate Barrim Asbravn looked quite exhausted at the trial's close.
Brynmor was acquitted of the major charges, including over a dozen counts of murder. He was seen leaving the court denouncing his accusers as "criminals and assassins" who would face the city's justice soon enough.
Still unanswered are questions concerning the Blood Spiders and their involvement in the fight and subsequent trial._

It began as a just a conversation overheard between the bard Meril and the high priestess of Tyr - talk of demons and devils warring in the pass; from pit fiends to greater demons. But before long, the rumour has made it all through the city, though how much exaggeration remains unclear. Some speak of the pass filled with warring extra-planars, others tell of small skirmishes. Either way, the message is clear: the Blood War is spilling into the lands of Narfell a little bit more every day.
-
North Springwater can be seen again shaven and healthly looking as he walks around the city in a merry mood. He seems to be studing the city or merely admiring the beauty of it. His cheeriness is contagious and many in the inn have talked about his wonderful company around the bar.
-
more and more citizens of the city see Cyrian walking around often wearing nothing but his boots and street clothes with the Peltarch defender badge around his neck so that he is noticeable as a defender, he always wears a smile and is eager to offer assistance to commoner who ask for a hand, he is even more bright when he is in the company of a priestess of Lathander wearing shining brass armor the color of the sun

The elven artist, preformer, and buisnesswoman most know as Ting has clearly not been her normal self in the past month. People recall her as not being her normal bright self, some saying that she probably recieved tragic news. Mostly she just seemed exceedingly nervous untill just recently she was seen in a full sprint through the commons looking either distressed or just very preoccupied. After this point people don't really recall where she went. As a further note, no one can seem to recall her smiling for the past month.
