Whispers at the Fire



  • Early one day, Chancellor Dwin and King Aelthas of the Pink Kingdom were seen entering Norwick, on the Kings mighty steed were two bodies, both Norwick Redcloaks who were quickly taken to the Friars. Perhaps Norwick and the Pink Kingdom have signed a peace treaty? What exactly happened to the Guards is unknown as of yet.



  • _From behind a tall pile of rubbish in the office, the sound of a water fountain is heard. After a few moments, it stops and the sound of jingling armor is heard.

    Foilir makes his way around the stacks of rubbish to throw away and nods to Dwin._

    Yeh will want to throw away that plant in a few days..

    Seeing Lucid, he nods his head and does some sort of bardic hello gesture with his just freed hand. It turns into a bow, and as he does so the painting Dwin throws sails over his lowered head.

    Allo! Well look who it be! Ne'er thought me would see yeh white face again!



  • Dwin looks at the elf, then at the painting, and gets a smirky-smile on his face

    What? You want to toss this in the garbage for me? Here, catch!

    Dwin raises the painting high over his head and begins to toss it to Lucid…



  • Lucid nearly jumps at the "Fark!" from dwin. It takes the elf a moment to compose himself, where he then makes a formal bow and spews a hasty greeting.

    "Ah! Lord Dolvak! So glad to see you in good health…it has been far too long since last we talked, I do agree..."

    Rising slowly from the bow, the elf suddenly realizes the room is being repurposed. With a hint of a frown, he continues in a more composed tone.

    "…and yes, I had though to pay a short visit. I thought it best to see you straight away, let my presence be known and whathaveyou ... "

    _His eyes wander to the pile of discarded things and he frowns more deeply. With a soft tisk the elf shakes his head lightly, knowing Aelhaern is truly gone.

    His eyes slide to the dwarf._

    " … and of course, I would like to arrange a time for us to talk during my stay. I'm curious to hear from you what news there of what goes on beyond the south gate these days. That, and as always, I am eager to hear of the well-being of the Realm as a whole. And as a ... "

    Suddenly the elf cuts short, now completely distracted by the painting and unable to see it clearly from where he stands. Chewing his lip, he slides further the room, angling for a better view. Then, casually gesturing to the painting with one hand while smoothing his long robes with the other, the elf asks softly.

    "May I?"



  • _Once inside the Great Hall, Lucid finds Dwin going through the old offices of Aelhaern, the long since retired (and missing) Scout Leader.

    A large trashbin sits outside in the hall and is rapidly filling with all manners of elf-debris._

    "Seems to me the lad was runnin' a brothel outta this damn office! It'll make a nice new conference room once we clear this elf-clutter out."

    Dwin peers at Lucid as he enters the room, while hastily ripping an old painting off the wall.

    "That you, Lucid? Fark! I aint seen nor heard from ya in ages! I can see all that sunlight in Oscura is doin' wonders fer yer skin!"



  • The pale elf Lucidious arrives in norwick late one evening on foot, draped in deep purple robes trimmed in silver. Despite the late hour, the greathall redcloaks allow him entry after a brief word…



  • ::Atop the eastern hill overlooking the town silhouetted against the rays of the dawn, Mariston speaks with a dwarf bearing a Peltarchian coat of arms and a man in a bright yellow robe. Several days later the yellow robed man watches as a group of dwarves arrive with carts of cut stone and begin to build…. it would seem something is a foot::



  • Half-orc stranger have been spending lots of coins to the ale in the Grapevine for last few days. He can also often be heard cursing some leathery winged creature that should have brought him some map, but for some reason never appeared.

    Strange rumor about intelligent, yet always hungry creature is heard stalking in the pass. Creature prefers to take form of great oak and station itself near the road. When unexpecting traveller goes by, tree either charms its vitchims or just devours people whole into its great gabing maw! Only blades made of copper have any effect for this cunning creature.



  • Rumor has it that during the recent attack, an enormous monstrosity attacked the south gates. Surprisingly, there were not many casualties, save the dwarves holding the frontline against this terrifying fiend. Namely, the Redcloak militia dwarf known as Stubs fought valiantly against the beast, holding it off long enough for the arrows of the many archers to bring the beast down, only succumbing to its crushing blows as the beast fell down on top of him. After being revived, he seemed to be very angry about something, storming off to the north after issuing orders for the redcloaks to begin repairing the southern gate.



  • It seems there was some hinnish commotion at Fight Night this month… with words and accusations thrown around, emotions running high, and heartbreak for three different hin.

    One of them, a red haired lass, was last seen heading into the wilderness, a determined and sad look on her face.



  • A group of adventurers gathered at Spellweaver Keep, including local celebrities Z and Aramuil, suddenly, they burst from the gates on brilliant white steeds; the steeds so fast that they and their riders seemed to be a blur. They sped off to the north at blinding speed, giving the locals plenty to chat about for days, a few days later they both seemed to be back though nobody saw them come back.



  • Stubs takes a group of Redcloaks to the east near the farmlands, guarding the walls. The estranged dwarf also brings out several shovels and long thick branches. Close to the wall, a shallow trench is dug, taking the branches and shaping them down into veritable spears, putting them down into the trench before covering the top portion with sod, leaves, twigs, etc. making for an effective pit trap. He then sets about vigilantly patrolling the eastern wall with Timmot, Davos, and a few others throughout the next few weeks.



  • Rumors spread of an odd sight. Apparently in the middle of the night one evening a halfer in blue armor led by an elf in green was seen dragging a massive log from the north gate to Spellweaver Keep.

  • ICC

    Shortly after the group returns, a heated argument between the Redcloak Scout Brendel, and the Kelemvor knight with them erupts.

    Ending with both going their separate ways.

  • hearing of craftmaster Z's appearance in town, Stubs seeks him out to ask him some questions about fashioning an 'axe' of sorts



  • A large group of people were seen wandering through to woods the other night, all seeming to culminate their journey at the druid glenn. They came in twos and threes and sometimes on their own, but all eventually entered the druid sanctuary. Later, anyone who entered looking for them would find no one there but the guardians and the fey.



  • _Two persons who seem to be stuck in the middle of everyday weather discussions of common folk, Aurilian priestess Meye and Chancellor, were seen heading into rawlins woods together.

    After only an hour had passed since the two left, they returned. Both seemingly in good mood._
