Whispers at the Fire



  • At dawn following the night of echoing howls, Albry makes for the unidentified corpses with a somber expression and shovel in hand, seeming to know exactly where they are.



  • Multiple howls were heard south of Norwick recently during the night time. Corpses of goblins, beasts, and hobgoblins alive are found having been ripped and torn about as if by a pack of wild beasts. Oddly, there were also the corpses of two men found in the west rawlins, their throats having been slashed out by a sword and then stabbed through the chest. The men were completely naked, the bodies have not been identified as being local.



  • _Travelers in the forest have the feeling of being watched. Occasionally, when an unarmed person in the Rawlinswood hears the sound of goblins ranting, or a wolf howling, it is quickly silenced. Other than that… nothing is seen.

    On another note, it seems Clay has been missing from his tower. The only person who can claim to have been seeing him each night is Dondiah._



  • After the atack of a goblin calling undeads near the gates, Kabul heads out to find anything leading to the location of the caster.

    Folowing orders, he focuses his searches at the lake, and the goblin borderland, never going west, into the shinbitters area.

    This keeps hapening for quite several days, untill he returns to town, remaining up the tower.



  • Battle sounds can be heard through the Rawlins at nights.Broken weapons are left behind and lot of blood.



  • A relatively new face in town, Therean spends a lot of time in the company of Ama'bael or Raryldor or Ael'Que and various others learning the trails of the Rawlinswood, fighting the undead in and around the cypt, and learning the customs and mannerisms of the people in his new home.

    Therean is 5' 10" tall, and an attractive wild elf on the surface, with an outgoing demeanor that suggests he was not raised among his own people. He is quick with a charming smile and spends free time often near the south gate, offering prayers to the Winged Mother, meeting and offering healing magic to other travelers, or just offering encouragement to his elvish brethren and other newcomers.



  • Rumour has it that goblins have attempting to poison grain barrels of food and the stew pot both.



  • @d2711dbea5=MexicanCookie:

    Benji does not return said smile.

    For any who don't return a smile, for whatever reason, she doesn't seem to mind. She was also seen openly socializing with a trio of Oscurans, treating them in a hospitable manner and welcoming them within the Realm.



  • //Yep, it's much further south than that



  • @c9070408bb=M_O_B:

    //It was far to the south

    Little clues can be found, as the mass of orcs and their sniffer wolves gets far too thick to avoid as one gets nearer to the explosion site.

    ((Would I be able to at least get to the Fuzzy Den?))


  • Legion

    @6b0f445dbb=Zangeen:

    ((Yes.))

    Benji does not return said smile.


  • Legion

    @c4958c365c=M_O_B:

    All of a sudden one regular Narfellian day… KABOOM! A huge explosion that rumbles the earth is heard coming from a very deep part of the Rawlins...

    Benji hurriedly checks his pack to make sure nothing is missing. He lets out a relieved sigh.



  • //It was far to the south

    Little clues can be found, as the mass of orcs and their sniffer wolves gets far too thick to avoid as one gets nearer to the explosion site.



  • Hearing the explosion, Kabul sets out of town trying to get a closer look on the place and trying to see if the orcs are getting something out of there.
    He waits patiently and hidden for quite some time, hoping for any sort of clues on what was done.

    After that, he returns to Norwick.



  • ((can you give us an idea of where in the Rawlins this horrific event took place? (near the lake, the south woods, the east/west?)

    Is it at all possible that it was the crash of Oceanic Airlines Fight 815 who is also stuck in an alternate world?

    )) 😉



  • _All of a sudden one regular Narfellian day… KABOOM! A huge explosion that rumbles the earth is heard coming from a very deep part of the Rawlins.

    Anyone venturing out there would see soot and dirt covered orcs patrolling in black warpaint, but unable to get close to the site of the explosion due to the rather large number of orcs._



  • ((Yes.))


  • Legion

    ((Does she offer any to Benji?))



  • For what ever reason of late, Albry has actually been amiable. Offering most people smiles with a greeting, she is seen engaging in pleasant conversations (often using girlie words such as "dear", "darling", etc.) instead of giving her usual snarky comments. More likely than not, people are beginning to question her sanity. Whatever could have come over the short-tempered warrior? Mid-life crisis?



  • _A badly bleeding, nearly-dead lumberjack is hurried to the Temple of Chauntea, arrows sticking from his chest.

    His friends say that he was attacked by the crazed hin woodswalker, who when vanished back into the Rawlins._
