Whispers at the Fire
-
around the fire was talk of a priestess losing favor with her goddess. listening in you could hear she poisoned a river her superiors in the legions ordered her to do. it may ring a bell inside the heads of new and old priests who they should be adventuring with or listening too.
-
Around the fire was much talk of a truce forged between bugbear tribes and the likliehood of this being trouble for Norwick.
-
- After hearing of Cecil returning with Ardent, Ky heads to the barracks seeking out Ardent*
-
As of late, Norwick and the adjacent woods have been said to be haunted at night by a Lich and its undead minions. Rumours has it that said Lich is looking for something that was taken away from it, and now it wants back what is rightfull his…..
-
After a fun Fight Night, Val Kyrie and Wren Halfabrick were seen heading into the Grapevine. Those who went into the inn after them would have heard talk of the old days, of the history of Norwick, and of people long gone. Val seemed to be taking notes, perhaps another one of her famous books is in the writing?
-
The guard Cecil was seen entering town with a prone form over his shoulder. Many would recognize the scout, Ardent.
She didn't seem dead, though her and her were both somewhat injured…
They disappeared into the barracks. Only he came out.
-
Before the planning of the cold cave trip, Cecil and many of those other names defended the gates once more, mostly against profaned undead, and a scattering of casters.
The guard was alterted by Cecil, and came town to aid in the fight.
This time, not a single guard, OR adventurer fell.
-
There has been rumors that Raryldor has requested the half elf sneak Ardent gather a capable group for a trip into the much feared Cold Caves. Names drifted back and forth among the two but some did stick out. Rasuil, Ama'Bael, Yngdir, Vander…it was a group of considerable strength by any estimation and the goal seems to be the gathering of ores and gems. Ardent promised to ask around and gather supplies.
-
As mutters of the wild woman make their way around the town, in a bizarre coincidence another ghost is seen. A second glance however reveals it to be the well known stalker and path warden Rasuil, blanching for some unknown reason as word reaches his ears. Slipping into the Grapevine for the strongest drink in stock, the ranger disappears moments later without a trace.
Through the night, long, searching howls can be heard from the south, carrying on the wind as they pierce the canopy of the Rawlins.
-
Someone vaguely familiar to the old hands of Norwick was spotted recently, but several people aren't sure if who they saw was real or a ghost. Tales of a wild woman with blue hair spread rapidly amongst the towns folk, especially since this wild woman was rumored to have died years ago.
-
Another undead attack on Norwick was repelled by a mixed group of defenders, though not without severe injury. Despite the apparant success, it is said a mocking laughter was heard in the cold night air. Dark rumours speak of a lich..
-
After championing Boxing and Team Fights it seems Yngdír's bloodlust was yet insatiable. Rumors of his vicious attacks on Elven women at the south gates are sure to stain any shining opinions of the gray ranger.
-
Rumor has it that a lone Goblin scout was spying on Norwick. The elf of its name, Yingdir spoted it lurking about and quicly dispached the spy before it could return to goblin lands with valuable information. Few minuts later a Norwick´s guard checked the gates and walls to make sure everything was in order
-
_The colossal winged beast made it as far as the town hall when Sirion appeared in front of it, held out his hand, and with a word, struck it dead with a flash of light.
Other rumors say he was the one who let it in._
-
It is no rumour; Norwick was attacked by a force of undead. So severe was the attack that two Norwick Scouts and four guards died. The undead broke through the defenders, first with a gargantuan winged zombie, then with deadly skeleton soldiers. The invaders were confined to the south valley and new south gate, and eventually the defenders of Norwick pushed the enemy out with the help of apparently inaccurate artillery.
-
Kalem spreads word around that he is looking for the dwarf Beourn. He hefts a heavy pack meaningfully and just replies to let the dwarf know that Kalem has something for him
-
Recently about town, a pretty brown haired elf woman has been asking about town for someone named "Cilwa." When asked, she merely says that she is 'supposed' to find her. She will answer anyone who asks that she will be in Norwick until she comes across her, to be able to speak to her when she is available.
She gives the name "Liyrawen."
-
All night, every night, for the next month, the constant rattling of prison bars and frenzied yells in Tuigan can be heard from the prison.
-
Massive flocks of birds flew away in fear from the Rawlins. Huge undead wyverns accompanied these birds, and indeed descended upon Norwick, attacking the south and east valleys, as well as the south gates, killing some livestock and farmhands, injuring many, and doing damage to some buildings. Bloated, gassy zombies crawled out of the river in the east valley as well, drowning a few townspeople. Luckily the damage was not devastating, as Norwick's defenders warded them off.
-
Shadows attacked the gate and the town proper, and various reports say a body has gone missing. Some say it was necromancer so powerful he raised himself from the dead. Others say that Sirion, that irksome elf, did the deed, making a zombie of his enemy and defiling the sanctity of the Chauntean temple and he marched it out, punching Davos in the eye on his way out. Others say it simply vanished.
