Whispers at the Fire
-
_Despite the loss, and little troubles, it seems one problem remains altogether too common for Norwick. Goblins charging at the gates, driven, haunted, perhaps, or just desperate? Of note, this time, was the large, black cat that led a small group of valiant heroes out the gates to meet the mad monsters even before they could harm the wooden defense.
Sword shining, before it was dark with goblin blood, Dietrick led the defense, even while Devlin seemed to sleep walk through the assaulting beasts, slashing and goring the small offenders left and right. Small, plump Asha kept her distance, her bow - proudly proclaimed to be a Ginger Tealeaf bow - loosening deadly arrows at the onrushing horde. But it was Z's appearance that turned the tide of the battle, the goblins beaten, broken, mauled and shattered before a single one of them had so much as a chance to touch the gates of Norwick. The group waited a little longer, for a sign of a renewed attack, then a victorios group of adventures returned with a confident stride to the relative safety behind the walls, up the hill._

tyler is seen not moaping but more saddendly walkign around town looking over the gates at elyls old gaurd spot, often going out and comeing back unijured imself but with blood red armor of his silver and blue, the cleans it and watchs over the gates ,saddened but knowing what his broher would want him to do, just carry on and know he is alright
-
Onlookers in town saw the half-orc Brick and another half-orc speaking in orcish. Those who understand orcish would hear insults going back and forth, those who do not would just hear a bunch of grunts going back and forth. Brick had his axe wielded but the other half-orc did not. The Romani Aelthas asked the unknown half-orc what his name was, the half-orc did not answer. Aelthas then threatened to tell the guard, but the half-orc kept insisting he broke no law, and reminded the human that he did not even wield his weapon. The half-orc stopped at the healers, then headed north out of town.

Day after day, the Iron Chain Cnan members can bee seen in norwicks ruins exterminating the rats
-
With the recent death of Elyl, it is rumored that Militia members have a renewed sense of urgency and determination in finding out about and defeating the demons that plague the area.
-
Tired and bloody officers and militia members can be seen filing out of the healers alone and in small groups. There are tears on some and blank eyes on others but anger seems to pervade them all. Reports filter out from the healers that When Senior Guardman Elyl's bloddy boody was placed on the altar and prayers sent up, that it glowed brightly for a moment then faded away, leaving silence alone behind. So rumors say….
-
Rumours go about at the fires that militia guardsman Elyl have died bravely in battle holding off a greater vrock to help his comrades escape and his soul has gone to his deity Torm to find rest.
-
word as it that the Iron Chain Clan members are freequently seen at Norwicks old Ruins, exterminating the rats that have infested that area.
They seem determined in erradicating for good those desease carrying animals
-
Word spreads the streets of another attack on the old southern gates. The forces repelled consisted of gelatinous cubes, goblins, demons, and a minotaur who left a farewell present of ice spiders along with a very large arachnid, a bebilith.
-
Word spreads quickly that Lord Chancellor Dwin has hired Celestria on as a Norwick Healer. She is said to be all smiles and quite happy with the new status. It's rumored she will remain in service to the Militia as well.
-
It appears the Shrine of kelemvor was attacked recently; there's evidence of a battle, including the gates having been blown off. Many of the graves were dug up and then reburied; shortly after the attack, whispers speak of Aramuil and Cherry showing up, coming back from their anniversary celebration. Aramuil and Cherry examined the area, supposedly coming under attack by yet more undead; but people seem confident that the elven archmage can bring the evildoers to justice soon.

_Unconcerned by the stories of robbers in the pass, a small group of adventurers set out into the Rawlinswood, following the wind. It's said Celebring came along in the hopes of finding something he's missing, suspecting that to be adventure. The young, plump woman happily skipped along, claiming that they would find Wood Giants in the forest. When they returned a good while later, the bard that had accompanied the two didn't seem all so enthusasitic about it, apparently all they found was an almost deadly fight against bugbears.
Nonetheless, the plump woman seems unwilling to give up hope:_
"Oh, I'm sure we'll find the Wood Giants! It's just the Rawlinswood is like really big! And it might take a while to like search it thoroughly! But giants are like big, you know? So we'll like find them soon enough!"Oh, and don't go like worrying about bugbears! Celebring was so great, he like summoned a really like large bear and it ate the bugbears! And like Caric was so really brave, fighting amidst them and like he almost died, but only like just!"

_Citizens witness Ambassador Ronan taking down a man right in front of the Great Hall. Davos, the guard who witnessed it demanded to know what was going on.
The Ambassador insisted that this man he brought down was working for the demons, yet Davos did not seem to believe the word of the Advisor… both Ronan and the man accused of helping demons were taking to the jail._
-
Word spreads quickly of a band of thieves attacking travelers in the pass. It's stated the band consists of a powerful mage, a priest and a strong warrior. Rumor has it that a few have already been beaten and robbed by these thieves and whispers shared around the fire indicate this may not be any ordinary band of thieves.

_Though demon attacks are a commonplace occurrence in Norwick, and many of the town's hardened citizens and defenders merely roll up their sleeves and deal with whatever form of monster is threatening them at the moment, a recent attack is noteworthy due to the sheer variety of foes. While various forms of winged demons dropped from the skies, the ground troupes included not only the expected goblin forces, but also huge gelatinous cubes, dretches, a succubus, vrocks and powerful minotaur fighters and casters. The large contingent of defenders held fast to win the day once more, retiring to the commons looking weary, worn and in some cases, covered in goo.
A white-haired young woman in gypsy colours might have been overheard commenting that Mord managed to attract such a large number of gooey cubes that a certain badger might grow jealous. After a fit of giggles, the young woman returned to lamenting the tragic loss of the so called Pink Knight's beautiful, long blonde hair. It would appear that attempting to jump fires while wearing fullplate is not a recommended course of action for keeping one's hair in unscorched condition._

There's talk that Ronan was seen modelling a lovely green dress down Norwick's main street, making two or three passes, stopping in various poses so everyone could get a good look. Rumors say the dress had been specially delivered from Peltarch.
-
Benji is now seen with a dazed, frazzled look in his eye asking where he could find some rubber. His helmet looks slightly melted.
-
Benji has been seen carrying a strange looking helmet with a large copper rod attached to the top. He's been shyly approaching mages asking them about any lightning spells they might be able to cast.
