Whispers at the Fire
-
Aramuil strolls out of his office and into the courtyard around the Great Hall, notices the man and calmly walks up, examining the scroll. A moment later he waves some nearby militiamen who promptly haul the man into the barracks while the white mage wanders back into the Great Hall
-
A man is found outside the Norwick barracks. Hog tied and gagged, a scroll case is tucked into the ropes binding his hands. Dark haired and eyed, the man looks about, obviously awake but groggy eyed. A quick perusal of the papers in the scroll case show a number of invoices and shipping documents with the cargo clearly marked as slaves.
-
Shadows descended on portions of the Rawlinswood over the past week, they're they lingered even after the rising of the sun. Some folks report of shadowy figures moving about, others dismiss the rumors as superstition or wives tales.
-
An oddly cheerful elf has taken to wearing a feather behind the wing on his helm, and more recently to wearing a small lilly in his hair, the stem entwined in his braid.
-
And it appears that the young son of Norwick farmers, Mike Bin, is really up to something.
After just a few days at the fires, almost everyone knows what he s all about: he wants to be a “heroe”.And he already has a whole plan figured out! As he is saying all around town, he just needs to get to the chilly cave, rescue the creepy ghost girl e kill the mad wizard!
He also states that he needs a cloak, because no real “heroe” is ever spotted without one.
And a bard, after all, he’ll need someone to tell the others his heroic deeds.Every word comes out of his mouth so simply that it makes one believe, even for a short while, that things are, in fact, that easy.
Ah! The innocence of the youth and its wonderful way of seeing the world.

Char: Mike Bin, almost a hero

Anyone who enters the Hold can see Thorin honing his fighting skills and after he getting tired,retires to the inn.Habitants can see him overeacting sometimes,which results in him collapsing and being dragged to the inn's rooms.This is continuous for many days now…
-
Cara Desh has been sulking around town since fight night, after leaving suddenly due to a "stomach ache" ((my computer suicided last night)) she walks slow, limping as she complains her feet are hurting.
-
The recent Fight Night ran smoothly with Benji's fiancee hosting the event in his place. The town's mage spiced up the fun with spells that changed people into zombies and chickens. Not real zombies, of course.
"Don't forget about the wedding!" she loudly proclaimed in between events. "It's going to be instead of the next Fight Night, at the Silver Valley! Everybody's invited!"

A new face can be spoted at the south gates once in a while.
A relatively young man, not older than 18, wearing a purple suit and carrying a bow at his shoulder.
Anyone used to Norwick´s farmlands would recognize him, as the only son of the Bin's farmer family. Humble and hard working people.
Curiously, his apearences are always for a short while and only when his parents are no in town.
He makes short trips south, mostly to the goblins lands.Why this farmer to be is having this new routine is unknown.
Benji approaches and points at the kid's bow.
"You know you'd be much better off with a crossbow, right? Let me know when you decide to replace that silly stick and string with a proper ranged weapon."

Targohr stands outside the southern gate of Norwick. In his hand he clutches a blue lotus petal, and has a small glint of sadness in his eye. It's been a long time since fellow Karhuntalja Smasher and friend Horlamin, druid of Auril left Narfell.
-
The woodsman known as Hess, now sporting a beard and long hair, continues to clear the rotting trees from the Rawlins.
With his updated armor and a few finer looking blades, he's now able to travel further into the Hobgoblin-woods and offer Sylvanus's Blessings to sickly trees that are still sick from the taint of years ago.
As always, the trees that have rotted beyond a healthy return are brought down, blessed, mulched as best possible, and new seeds are planted in their place.
When he isn't out running or tree-pruning, he's usually found close to his mentor Jerrick and the rest of the 'hippies' from the Circle.

That very evening the body of Persephone is brought back to town by a shattered Ael'Que. Therean prays that her gentle spirit does not allow the dark voice his victory and returns to the living soon.
Spoting the scene, Kabul offers any help he can to bring her back. His usual emotionless face, can t hide a strong feeling of sadness. His eyes also display something else.
A wish of revenge, some would say. While some others, would asseverate it s a sign of guilt.
-
Kabul can be seen around town asking everyone he meets if they know a little girl that was report missing or something like it. Having seem a image of her, he describes he to everyone he asks.
He also heads to the town's temples to gather some information about how to comunicate with what he describes as a lost spirit. He seems particularly interested in informaton of souls that do not know they are dead, if that makes any sense.
After two days investigating this, he heads out towards the goblin borderland, returning after a couple of days.
-
Benji is strolling through Norwick when he sees another poster on the announcement board taking up space near his own.
<g>Oh no you farking don't!</g>
-
Therean alerts the gate guard detail that a group of adventurers including himself, Uniel, Persephone, Kabul, Gaerielle and Caelisar encountered a plague of undead south of town and seeming to originate from evilly consecrated ground in the graveyard. A dark voice carried on the winds suggested vengeance for the interruption of unholy rites.
That very evening the body of Persephone is brought back to town by a shattered Ael'Que. Therean prays that her gentle spirit does not allow the dark voice his victory and returns to the living soon.

The word on some tongues at the moment is a new hieratic in Norwick. No rumours are quite confirmed on what he is preaching, but some whisper he is of the Dark Moon Heresy. Although one thing has been confirmed, he seems a rarther nice guy
-
It's getting to be quite noticeable now that Tindra is pregnant. She seems to be quite happy about it. Maybe that happiness is also why she occasionally purrs when she talks?
-
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.
