Whispers at the Fire
-
Wren rides back into town looking very battered but extremely pleased with herself, wearing white armor (is that bone?) and carrying a jug of brandy in one hand and a sack of bear jerky in the other.
-
Woe unto Jimmy the Dwarven Guardsman, the poor quirky spaz has fallen in the defense of our grand town of Norwick. Some terribly composed songs are sung in the Grapevine in his honour.
-
Many strange rumors flood the town, undead, goblins, undead goblins, scary monsters, and even the occasional landshark. Perhaps strangest of all is the rumor that Yngdír the 'grim ranger' as called by some was seen holding his Elfbride by the south gates, and acting giddy as an over-excited schoolgirl at just one taste of what is described as a cookie. How bizarre!
-
a strange rumor of a pond hag spreads around the fire. word has it that the hag is a protector of the goblins, and that it even resurrected one from the dead.
-
Rumors spread a certain black clad halfie sneak is out of the jail. She was seen briefly stopping by the fire to glance over those gathered, much paler and more nervous than she was when last seen three months ago. Then she turned north, saying something about the Temple of Kelemvor.
-
rumor spreads norwick was attacked by swarms of cockatrice and displacer beasts.. an odd attack indeed, but even more odd was talk of a magic eater coming by after the attack and releasing the petrification off of the norwicks defenders leaving them unharmed. will we see this kind magic eater again?
-
A large group of adventurers departed into the crypts, including many notable heroes of Narfell, but several came back carried as corpses. Whispers around the taverns and fires speak of a massive fight in the crypts, more terrified voices speak of vampires…
-
Once again, adventurers and alike have been attacked inside Norwick´s crypt by an unnusual number of undead. However the superior combat tactics used by the adventurers was sufucient to fight off the attackers. At some point, further in into the Crypt, an aprentice to Lich, presented it self before the group of adventurers and delivered a message to them. It seems that a Book, a compendium of a Necromancer´s life time study has been stolen by a tomb raider(s). Now… the Lich wants it back to carry on its macabre research.....
-
sitting around the fire, you could hear talk of bugbears being able to hear adventurers attack goblins in the forests. to any of those who know how dangerous bugbears can be, this might be an alarm to be much quieter around their areas.
-
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..
