Whispers at the Fire
-
The Defender Aelthas has been seen around Norwick more of late, he mostly just sits under a tree quietly, writing in a book. When night comes, he is seen wandering south instead of north to Peltarch, heading into the Rawlins.

@7d9132c7c0=JerrickRafe:
The weather at the south gate went bad.
Real bad.
Snow followed by a fog that rolled in RED…. and then ice crashing into the south gate with enough force and regularity, to destroy it entirely.
Rumors of wolves, druids, and ... a giant cat?
The south gate is gone, but other than that, there is little sign or clue as to what happened.
What have those druids done now?Haughty elf Davanros can be heard commenting latest happenings:
"Seems like I was only one to see this coming as sadly, local ignorant population did not. It is too obvious even for simpleton commoner or farmhand to connect these misgivings with so called druidic circle. Quite obviously that letting members of such circle roam free and inspecting town inside out leads into situations like this.Do these commoners even know that their so called "circle" consists of bugbears and ogres? I cannot understand how folk allow group which lets itself to be affiliated with so malicious creatures wander these streets without chains? How long majority of uneducated and simpleton townfolk are being coaxed to provide safe haven for these deluded ones, who mingle with bug-bears and ogres? As we all know, such monsters have only one aim: Devour your children… May Mestarine protect me from this ill-bunch"

_"You are a village elder and village's granary holds 8 bushels of food, that would through heavy rationing provide just enough food for 8 persons until help is to be expected. Village population is 11 creatures:
7 cousin elfs
2 lanky humans
1 mud-hugging dwarf
1 dirty half-orcWho will you provide food for?"_
*Was a question that elf Davanros asked near campfire from his kin Belia the druid. When Belia didnt give out answer, Davanros got upset about her true allegiance. Further heated debate took the topic into mysterious druid circle whose members are numerous within walls of Norwick. Horror and distain was clearly readable from Davanros face, when Belia told that Druid Circle consists of 12 leaders, which include a half-blooded humans, notoriusly evil and vile bugbears and savage hulking half-ogres!
Davanros gave prayers for Fenmarel Mestarine and asked aloud that what kind of creatures are allowed to walk here and how they can be trusted since they are dealing with such monsters other than with steel or shaft. He left toward woods*

_Word has it that a master blacksmith of reputable skill is searching for magical components for his craft.
Adventurers who happen to stumble across such components will be rewarded with gold, or the crafted item itself if they manage to collect all the required parts._

@f2831a0a2e=JerrickRafe:
For some unexplainable reason, the Crafting hall signpost has been torn out of the ground, and from the looks of it, was used to beat the door to the crafting hall partly in, and all about the front of the building.
*The next day, Z is seen replacing the sign and making repairs to the door and building. He then uses a quill pen to jot a few notes onto a small piece of parchment.
Later, he is spotted asking around about what happened.*
Z
-
The Chancellor sees the note, pauses for a second, and then summons Davos to his office for an immediate chat about what the fark is going on.
-
*The signpost of the Crafter's Hall seems to have been ripped from the ground and used as a sort of bat against the side and door of the crafters hall. Those who were awake in the middle of the night might've caught a glimpse of two gigantic figures running around, one of which headed south out of the town, the other which eventually disappeared from sight. In the morning, Davos can be seen cussing up and down the town posting flyers:
"Any and all persons affected by EggButt's creatures, blobs, etc. are hereby ordered to STAY OUT OF NORWICK until the illness is passed. By order of the Norwick Redcloaks."*

There was some crazy story about giants and … Jerrick?
There was fighting in town, then it moved outside exceptfor one culprit.
He's now in jail?Overheard is something about the Druids being banned from town?
Or was it giants?
Jerrick was seen again after the commotion, escorting several people off, that much was clear.

_After a brief exchange of words in a strange tongue two men were seen dueling at the crossroads at dawn.
The loser of the duel, they say, had his elegant weapon stripped of him. He then gutted himself with an odd looking dagger._

@29b144a0e5=Karnivor:
Word that might spread from the latest Fight Night states that Aramuil narrowly outshone Dwin in the ranged contest. Strangely, neither were reported to have actually participated, but two Black Sails vehemently claim that the riveting outcome of the final depended solely on the inspiration given by these prominent Norwick figures.
Benji snickers hearing the rumors.

Upon seeing the note left by the gate, Caelian picks it up and reads it before crumpling it up and tossing it in the fire.
Chuckle ending in a feral snarl… Right then.
The sound of breaking bones are topped off with a howl as Caelian is replaced by a wolf with sandy red fur and green markings along it's shoulders bounding out of the gate towards the Glen.
-
Interestingly, the Malarite head placed near the Norwick gates has gone missing. Instead is a note that reads…
"Defile the dead again and I will seek you out personally."

Grunk says loudly at the fire Dem crazy humies be takesin…takesin Grunk in dis holey tin. We's smashin all dem deadies. Buh whens we's tryna git ouder dere, dese uhda humies be dere. Dese humies have HUGE swinging his arms out frantically to metaphorically portray the size bodies en deys got many legses. Grunk try en counts em...buh Grunk nah fast 'nuf.
-
The odd militia dwarf known as Stubs can be seen heading southward of norwick once ever couple of days, though what purpose this serves is anyone's guess.
-
Rumour makes it's way around the town about a giant spider at the south gates, bravely held off and defeated by some adventurers and Albryanna of the Red Cloaks, who valiantly gave her life to stop the menace.
-
"Driders!"
For some reason, even that shout didn't raise any eyebrows - it was just another slow day in Norwick it seems. Even fresh blueberry pie seemed of more interest to passing adventurers than sharing stories of such dreadful abominations as driders who were reportedly spotted in the graveyard area.
-
_A weary group of elves struggle into town one night. Among them Brendel is seen to have a meeting with an elven cleric; an old skull is seen to change hands, they then have a small service. Brendel heads out of town later the next day.
A few days later he returns, quietly spreading the word to those involved that their kin was laid to rest in a peaceful spot in the deep Rawlins_
