Whispers at the Fire
-
And, at one night, the word HARPY, is writen with bolts just south of the gates.
It's said to be a work of art and a gift for a friend!

_The trial of the infamous Ronan was held at City Hall one day. Many were in attendance, including other senators of Peltarch, various adventurers, Norwick officials and even a banite or two.
The senator pled guilty to the crime and was fined for his actions. He was also asked to defend Norwick against threats as part of his punishment, though he stated he'd gladly do so without it needing to be some punishment.
A few faces seem dissapointed by the outcome, namely a few of Ronan's colleagues in the senate. Most, however, were delighted by the result, or did not really hold an opinion.. mostly just wishing to see what would happen._
All in all, however… the trial was simple and held little to no drama.

Rumor has it that an ex-Chancellor has been testing the gallows behind the Great Hall with a sand-bag dummy that is wearing a white mop as a wig.

*Upon hearing the rumors of the Oscuran slavers and what ronan is said to have done, Kiana wonders how known slavers even managed to get into norwick past there guards, as there presence is not tolerated within norwick even. After the moment of wondering, she waves it off as just that, a rumor."
-
_Rumor has it that Ronan will face trial in a few days for murdering seven Oscuran slavers and their dog within the walls of Norwick, just to watch them die.
According to Gemli, he heard from his barber that Ronan stepped out from behind a tree, shouted that Peltarch would bring justice, and then cast 'flaming death arrows' into each of the Oscurans, causing their horrible deaths. The dog, a cocker spaniel named Scraps, attempted to flee, but was Phantasmal Killer'd.
Some say that Oscura will declare war on Peltarch within a few days for the incident._

Were Aramuil's "famous murder blades" really used against the town militia? By a skull-helmed woman skulking about in town, half-invisible? Did one of the militia's "four bosses" really step in to protect her as two green-cloaks muscled her around the fire? Why did the pink armored man get to threaten a guardsman without the merest mention of jail time? And what was that about drow? Sometimes it's truly better to leave town with the fight night crowd.

_A large hobgoblin horde had gathered on the path to the old graveyard, which sent a small group to test the defenses at the gates. When a group destroyed and tracked them to the main horde, they were in return quickly driven off the hobs' overwhelming numbers. Retreating to the gates, Hammerhand began barricading the gate with barrels, crates, benches and anything he could find, as well as piles of sand and dirt – an effort in which he was soon joined by others. As night came the majority of those there agreed that holding the strongpoint in preparation for the horde's attack was the most sound idea, despite the continues taunts and rants of one particular hin bard who claimed to be a great giant slayer and thought it an excellent idea to charge into the black of night, into an area occupied by a foe with superior numbers and strength, leaving Norwick compeltely exposed to the horde's attack. As the horde did little more than send a group of warriors and then an umberhulk to attack -- both attacks easily defeated due to getting stuck on the barricades -- some of the novice adventurers gathered seem to become impatient and more inclined to follow the mad hin in his doomed dash. However, by the time they had mustered sufficient courage to actually do so, dawn had come and the horde had retreated.
In the aftermath, there was apparantly a scuffle between Hammer, said hin and a novice adventurer._

@d07d0f2ffc=Oddba11:
Rumor has it the Senator Ronan of Peltarch assaulted a man in Norwick, fully intending to murder him as he sat quietly at the fire, unarmed and unarmored. Sparks flew as the mage cast everything he had at the poor man, then, as quickly as the mage came, he fled.
@d07d0f2ffc=SummonerX:
Rumor would also state that the "innocent" man that the named Senator attacked was heard bragging of harvesting souls and murdering Hoarrans. This would be said senator's typical reaction to such blatant evil.
_::Rumous and rumours would fly about this event. Apparently the High Priestess Rith Phoenixfeather was present when all of this happened, and she didn't see anything but a cordial exchange between people that like making big claims. Both dueled unarmed and unarmored, and Ronan simply proved to be better, and left peacefully after subduing his rival in a sport-like duel, much like it happens in any Fight Night.
Besides, everyone seemed happy to see the self-proclaimed soul-harvester and hoaran murderer bite the dust::_
-
Rumor has it that the elf, Faelar, was seen on the archers' tower with the half-elf druidess Tamara and the couple were holding hands. When seen, Faelar seems to have a little more spring in his step and a broader smile upon his face.

-
Rumor has it that several goblins have been found with their throats cut. There was no sign of a struggle. It looks like robbery was the possible motive.
-
Rumor spreads that a Giant Slayer has reached the region. How would he look like? some say he's huge, some say he's as strong as an ox… his name is Tealeaf, Jeffster Tealeaf....
-
It seems that Norwick's scout Kabul isn't letting go any chance of heading into the cripts… by invitation or simply following any adventurers that way.
Anyone paying atention to him down there, can see he is looking for something, or signs of someone.....
-
It can't be…but..is it?...oh..it is...where has she been? what happened?...no one knows...but María is certainly back...
-
And the Tower by the gates seemed a busy place again. Whenever he's in town, Kabul can be found there, always keeping his eyes to the south, scaning the area.
He exchange polite nods to those he knows and, as always, remains suspicious of the new commers.
Eventually, he goes back to Spellweaver trying to find out someone that knows anything about medusas, a worthy prey, he whispers to himself.
-
A gnome is seem in town talking about how he was assaulted in tow by a harpy from the skies and the authorities did nothing.
He also says that there's a local mad woman that claims to have visions.
-
In his spare time a Paladin clad in red and silver armour is seen heading south of the gates. Sometimes alone, sometimes with others. It is said he searches for clue on where the golem came from that led a recent attack upon Norwick
