Whispers at the Fire
-
Today a few villagers witnessed how a blond elf wizard disappeared in plain sight within Norwick. Some say he just cast a spell of invisibility, because even though one woman panicked about the disappearance, the same elf reappeared a while later, not far from where he disappeared, though in a bad shape. Some wonder if it was the punishment for casting in town and thus endangering everyone. People who wish to follow-up on this quickly learn that those involved are known as Genevieve and Nym.

@b7e96bce23=Oreth:
Oreth, who seems to be zipping back and forth through norwick a lot more often in the past tenday or so in an exceptionally foul mood, stops for a moment on hearing Dwin's report
'If'n you were a treehugger"? Why the hells should we be the only people who care about common decency? You obviously thought the cats were being mistreated, and that it was a bad thing, or you wouldn't have said anything about it, so why would you just…..
He shakes off whatever's bothering him after a moment, and continues in a much less abrasive tone
Next time, feel free to help the cats on your own, or find someone who can to help you…. I promise, the "treehuggers" won't be offended that we no longer have the monopoly on giving-a-shite...
He then dashes off, continuing to make preparations for….whatever it is he's making preparations for that has him so on-edge
oi! someone has a thorny branch up his arse!
All I was thinkin was that a tree-hugger coulda whispered sweet-nuthin's to them cats and made em friendly instead o cuttin' em in two like I had to do.
They was hungry. They were meaner than hins tied in a sack. shrugs Didnt want to have to kill em, but they dint give me much choice in the matter.

Rando is seen with some of the guards, bow in hand shooting any animal thats comes with in bow range with the odd word of….
"nice shot Tony, you got that white one right between the eyes!"

Rumors spread that Penny was seen walking south toward Sam's Hill from Peltarch with a paintbrush in one hand, a bucket of paint in the other, and a smile on her face, all while singing a happy tune about days gone by.

Dwin returns to town one day, a bit worse for wear.
Well, thats the last time I head into that Hobgob cave by meself! traps!
I fell through one and landed in a maze. They got some fierce cats in that maze… seems they dropped em in there fer fun. If'n i was a tree-hugger I'd be wantin' to help them poor things... looked like they hadnt eaten in weeks.
he tosses his helm to one of the guards and rubs his head
Most troublin was the setup they got in there… seems they are cookin corpses and dead shiite in a big kettle. Smelled like nuthin' I'd ever seen.
I think I saw a stack of powder kegs in there too... a dumb hobgob with a keg o' explodin-powder is a scary thought indeed.

Later the day after the orc attack on Jiyyd, Lucidious leads a few additional troops from the barracks down the long road to Jiyyd, supplementing Dwin’s force already there. After spending a day patrolling with the soldiers, he seems satisfied with their progress and makes his away back to Norwick. When he finally reaches the gate several days later than expected, he seems distraught and exhausted. As he makes his way to town hall, he glances about nervously for some unseen foe…his sword in hand as if expecting a fight and a rose in the other…

A man from Oscura entered the Boarshed Inn late this night, hiding all but a pair of lifeless eyes beneath a dark cloak. The man slowly walked to the Barkeep and slides him a parchment and hands the barkeep a small pouch of gold. The note states that the man is inquiring if any man or women wish to enlist in a new Academy of sorts, most of the information is vague but it does say that the Academy is looking for both student and teacher alike. The note also states how to contact the man responsible for the inquiry and has made it clear that anyone interested will have their identity kept a secret
PM me if you choose to contact the source

Dwin stands to the side with his guards and lets the dozen or so people clean the illegible rock so that it smells less like urine and more like…rock.
If ya lads want, we'd be happy to help dif that ole slab up and move it for ya to a safer place. Not that ya can read it anymore, but if ya got some special sentiment for it, perhaps it should go to a safer spot, eh? Maybe up in Pelt, or inside yer temple er whathaveya.
Seems to me all o you lads coulda been o more use helpin poor Jiyyd than scrubbin hob and eastlander piss offa rock shrugs and nudges Plato, Seargant of the Hill Guard
Let us know…we'd be happy to help, once we are back from cleanin' up Jiyyd.
-
A few Divine Shield Knights and nearly a dozen temple acolytes can be seen on the top of the hill north of Norwick cleaning off the old Sam's Hill marker. Almost in ceremony, they use no magic to aid in the cleaning. They wine to share with the guards and various healing supplies as well.
-
Words spreads that some knights of the ODS and others were seen speaking with an woman bearing a greatsword and who had a habit of setting things on fire. Soon after this the group knights was seen heading south through the rawlins on some quest or another. They had loitered first in Norwick seemingly seeking other interested parties
-
Zombie Animals?
chuckles
More likely its rabies.
Dwin tells the guards to make sure they dont eat any meat comin' from the south woods, and to warm any potential hunters that the meat is probably spoiled, at best.
-
Two of the regular guards of the south gate remark about a few zombie animals that chased a small hin into town. A druid, a dwarf, a couple of rangers and the same hin set out into the woods to see what was going on. The group returned after some time, apparently having taken care of the matter.
-
RUmor spreads of a very large massive half orc that was walking around the rawlins complaining about bad chili with a stench about him that could wake the dead…..
-
After several complaints and comments about the stench and uneasiness in the Rawlins, Dwin asks a patrol of 4 Guardsmen to go take a look and see if they can identify the source.
Tis probably just an old bear that died and has been rottin… See if ya can find whatever it is... best way to get rid of it is a quick, controlled burn, me thinks.
Let me know what ya find, lads.
-
The scent of death has been slowly growing in the Rawlinswoods. Many of the animals appear to be very uneasy and skittish.
-
It seemed a pleasant enough night, when a group of four… a lady paladin, an antlered man, a roguish woman and an elven wizard made their way into the woods. They returned much later, badly bruised and tired. They were apparently arguing about some stones and portals_. It seems the bard woman requested a stone be given to her, but the paladin and the wizard seemed adamant about not giving her one._
-
Another bag filled with goblin ears was brought into Norwick by a skinny, pale wizard in green and black robes, and offered to Lucidious. Upon his request, it was incinerated, after which the two of them went into the Norwick Town Hall, where they spent some hours talking.
-
Lucidious spends several days visiting homes and farms in and around norwick looking for the parents of a young girl who went missing several tenday past (( using a description given to him by William )). The girl’s body was found recently and he wishes to give his condolences to the parents personally. He also seems set on knowing the girl’s name so that proper burial rights can be performed.

Rumour has it that Captain Deacon Sterr of the Black Sails has a new love in his life. Strange as it may seem, a colourful parrot turned up in Norwick and eventually settled itself on the captains shoulders. Presumably unused to the harsh climate, the exotic bird complained about the "farkin' cold" and ended up getting its own room at the Boarshead, curtesy of captain Sterr.
