Whispers at the Fire
-
Rumors are heard that Rolan Benthur came to town asking Rando why he arrested his sister Star. Rando simply told him to shut it so Rolan told him to fark off and was arrested for insulting a town official. Singing can occasionally can be heard from his cell as he awaits his release.
-
At the Boarshead, Gurt proclaims that he almost single handedly defeated the recent goblin attack on the south gate through his cunning use of caltrops. When asked why his feet are in bandages, he simply buys the person a drink.
-
The Necromancer Chaevre' Vaelen was seen walking out the south gate of Norwick and heading east, she circled the enclosure of the druids circle, her dark gaze looking within the mess of bramble and trees, after one complete circle she returned north without speaking a word
-
Something or someone seems to be leaving an odd assortment of items at the roots of the Tree just south of Norwick's imposing gate. Among the items found there always seems to be a Goblin doll slick with drool as well as a few gold coins and other Goblin nick nacks. Impressions in the snow tell that whatever is leaving them there is light footed.
-
Scattered reports of adventurers spotting bugbears being swarmed by groups of grey skinned humans and other bugbears. The bugbears are somehow being rendered inert and carried off. Quite often the adventurers are forced to flee as the atatckers turn their attention to them. Rumor also has that whereas it isn't uncommon for adventurers to not return, no one seems to be finding enough bodies to account for the missing unlike previous years.
-
Apparently in quite a cheerful mood, two people drink their ales and wine quietly whispering in the Boarshead. They were both clad in bloodied black and green armor, one a short man with dark, shoulderlong hair, the other a tall woman with equally dark hair. They exchange quiet jokes, and occasionally laugh, but are mostly just smiles. Whether their celebration is a reason for anyone else to be happy, is anyone's guess.
-
Word spreads that all involved in the assault in the Boarshead were taken to the miltia barracks by the captain himself and remained there for some time. Ms. Alora and the halfer Kull were seen leaving the barracks side by side and parting their ways some time later with what seemed like no ill will between them.
-
Kull attacking Citizens?!!!
The same legionner that let the Orc Destroyer scout the town before a massive orc invasion?
hmm, Poor Alora must not have introduced herself to Kull. . .
-
Word travels like wildfire about an offense in the Boarshead earlier. It seems the kind miss Alora, who has owned a shop and been a good citizen of the town for years, was attacked in a side room of the inn. A massive, naked orc halfbreed called Kull, who also seems to be a Legionair, was apparantly holding and squeezing the poor lass, with obvious bad intentions, when a small group of people cought him red-handed in the act. There is also mention of a young woodsy girl with a speech impairement, called Star, who seems to have taken the opportunity to rob the poor Alora of everything she owned, and dissapear into the woods.
What times are these, when civilised folk can no longer enjoy a drink in the inn?

//ooc on
Low blow, man! The militia would have been in the front lines if they'd been online! Well…probably one or two, anyway.
How would you feel if Zanetar noticed there were no Legionnaires online and took that opportunity to tear Jiyyd apart, then posted that the Legionnaires were cowards and hid in the woods?//ooc off

RUmor has it The General was seen running form a huuge spider outside the South Gates. After killing it a large group went to invcestigate the general could be heard yelling about white chickens and running into town battered up warning of a huuge bugbear attack coming. The people their that day stopped a massive bugbear attack of nearly 1000 bugbear troops. It was quite a battle with no casualties.
-
_The talk of the day in the Boarshed, around the fire and in the various shops and gathering places of Norwick is the recent and massive attack against the town.
Rumours and stories tell that thousands of goblins and bugbears launched an attack after another against the walls which were defended but nary a couple of dozens of brave souls.
The defense is said to have been moderately well organised compared to the attacks, which can only be described as suicidal. But the goblin kind seemed to have endless numbers as they continued attacking all through the night despite losing several thousand warriors. At some point the foe even threw its youngins into the fray, but they were quickly trampled and dealt with.
The walls and gates of Norwick standed the test well, as did their defenders. Only a couple of big and ugly bugbear blackguards were supposedly able to break through the lines and into the town itself, but even they were caught and cut down quickly and efficiently.
None of the defenders are reported to be dead, but most of them suffered grievous wounds. Luckily, a couple of skilled healers supported the defense.
Three men in golden and black armours are rumoured to have fought in the eye of the battle all through the night. Most would have recognised Milshot, the captain of the Norwick militia, and Drelan of the Black Sails. The third was apparently named Paci, a roaming swordsman from Peltarch._
-
A pretty little dark haired girl, looking no older than 20, has been seen following Norwick Militia Captain Milshot about endlessly, taking notes as he speaks and writing out letters for him. Rumors spread that this young beauty is his newest recruit and a scribe no less.

Oretha
:lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Oretha and Lucidious have a long discussion by the fire at the south gate. They both seem to come to some sort of an understanding. As night approaches they bid each other farewell and head their separate ways.
-
"If you thought he was going to do anything more than taunt you or make demands, then I did you a huge favor. Who knows how many hours you could've wasted."
-
Lucidious is seen by the fire at the south gates talking to travelers of the recent undead attack. He mentions that he was pleased to see Norwick militia patrolling and defending the area at the time of the attack. He continues to warn travelers to be more cautious as they travel south of Norwick because the source of this undead threat is still unclear.
“if the druids would take time to think before they act we might have more on the source of these undead…”
-
Spellweaver's headmaster can be seen at the menhir stones, observing the active portal magics there, and occasionally scrawling notes in a large bound book. If approached, he will will calmly explain that the Keep is preparing for magical experimentation on the most potent menhir stones in Narfell. With the town's permission, of course.
-
Word has it that the town militia is seeking new members. Some grumblings can be heard about recent changes but also good news of change in the wind is discussed as well.
-
A small rumor is started that there will be an elf running nude through Norwick. The details are all very vague, but he is to be know as "the pasty deserter". It is recomended you bring your friends and cheer him on.
