Whispers at the Fire
-
Rumors spread that during one of the Fight Night competitions, an altercation happened in the crowd between Penny and Wolf, with Penny slapping him across the face in front of dozens of attendees before turning her wares in to Lucidious and leaving town. People in the area indicate that one comment from Wolf seemed to set her off: "at least I have a child".
-
Rumors spread quickly that another caravan has bee ambushed on its way though the Rawlinswood. So far no survivors are known. A steady flow of Militia members in and out of the wood raises questions of imenent action against the goblins.
-
Sarvalos stops and questions Wald and Praeth about any information they may have on Edward II and his situation, also his past. He is subtle in his questioning and refrains from annoying the two, especially Wald.
Sarvalos also has been seen often at Norwicks south gate scanning for the rumored shadowed figures, he has been seen as far as setting up trip wires with noise alarms and anything else useful he can dig up to help him aid in the identification of what is out there and why.
-
Rumors abound of more "sightings" of something or someone moving quielty about in the shadows south of Norwick. Reportedly, some adventurers have been followed thru the Rawlins, feeling that they were being watched but not able to make out who or what was filling the air with those feelings.
-
Cyrian returns from the deep woods for a rest and to resupply, he warns travellers that while he constantly patrolls the deep woods for goblin threats and eliminates them, that few of the goblins have begun to leave the deeper woods for the safety of the woods nearest to Norwick, because of this he warns people that may be venturing to the western woods that they may contact one or two of the stronger goblins, usually caster types and that they should be cautions. In responce to the new threat Cyrian has begun to expand his patrol to the near woods to scout for stray goblins, he asks for anyone skilled in tracking to show him the most effective methods to monitor goblin movement within the forest.
-
Guards 'pon the wall report seeing two knights armored in red-lacquered plate arguing heatedly upon the road north of the gate. They could not identify the individuals save that one was older and that, even from a distance, deep scars were visible upon his face. The argument is said to have lasted quite some time before the two left the area.
-
Rumors fly that fire demons assaulted the south gates in the early dawn. Gouts of flame lashing the guards on duty and mysterious dark figures dissapearing into thin air, leaving no trace.
-
_Two druids entered the prison, the female druid in the heavy robes was carrying a scroll. A guard later followed. There seemed to be a struggle with the undead gnome as the guard and the male druid came up injured and smelled awful. They all seemed to have dissapointed looks on their faces as they exited.
"The druids Wolf and Raisa would like to thank the Norwick guard named Ben. Without him, the undead gnome may have escaped. The druids ask he get a big bonus in his pay."_
((Thanks Kall, was a fun little event))
-
gaolers from norwick prison are often heard complaining about their working conditions while off duty at the boarshead sucking down ales. They say their latest prisoner is a half naked tattoo covered undead gnome who wreaks of death and decay, causing anyone nearby to smell the same for a good number of days. Apparently even biggus is disturbed by the stench, often waving his new everburning torch to ward off the smell.
-
Those coming and going into Norwick's South Gate may notice a dark figure or two, now and again, lurking in the shadows. Nothing is discernable from a distance, only something moving in the shadows. Perhpas it is something, perhaps not.
-
rumors slowly seep through the Boarshead Inn that Cyrian of the Militia brought a package to Sir Edward, the militia man had a passive but concerned look on his face when he requested to speak to the man. for a bit of coin Brane would tell curious folk that Cyrian had mentioned there being a severed head in the box, while nothing was directly discussed the details seem to have been kept between Cyrian. Sir Edward, and the note that Cyrian had delivered, Edward spoke something about a great danger to the entire town and requested to see the Chancellor as soon as possible, that is all Brane would be able to say about the matter.

- Foilir laughs even more heartily. *
Sumun eer sound like chicken lil… Sound like yeh folk cen nae let go of deh past..
Unless of course yeh is referrin teh deh half orc who molested dem cows when yeh says "Defiler".

Dwin hears the rumors and scoffs
Oi! If I had a copper fer every time I heard the Defiler was back!
Relax folks… there's been more than one false-pretender. Them Greenskin shamans are certainly gettin more powerful lately. Let's concentrate on remocin their wiggly little fingers and heads and less about "Him." No reason to get people all riled up!
-
The Defiler returns! Possessing goblins using his dark and malevolent Will, he captured Archdruidess Fadia and inteneded on feeding her to a Vile Demon. Fortunately a brave band of rescuers led by Ginger and Wolf rescued her before fleeing before the hungry demon's wrath.
Impervious to arrows and blades, the Foul Beast was only slain by the magics and warcraft of Raryldor, supported by many well-intentioned townsfolk and visitors.
The retaliation back to the goblin cave to retrieve Fadia's sword resulted in her death to swarms of Jellies and their evil and probably possessed goblin masters.
He has Returned.
// Thanks to DM Lazarus(?) for the demond fun and to the usual suspects for the heroic rescue and the stupid recklessness of getting surrounded and engulfed by jelly that followed.
-
Dwin sends a guard to deliver an invitation to Sir Edwards, the invitation is for a nice supper in Dwin's office.
-
Sir Edwards II is seen moving about town a bit more frequently stopping now and again to speak with Praeth and even Wald. The old man seems not so frail anymore after his wounds have healed and he is somewhat rested. A look of determination is about him as he moves deliberately between the inn and various locations about town.
-
A more quite than usual alexi can be seen around norwick when ever he is around and not in the ralwins woods. Always with a saddened face. When people ask him what is wrong he normaly just grunts and goes on his way with a letter griped in his hand. Ocasionaly he mutters some thing about oscura or some other random things.

*emerging from the hall with a yawn and cup of tea in hand, the chancellor looks pleasantly surprised by the -gigantic- bouquet of flowers. He takes a moment to look them over with a chuckle before reading the note…to which he frowns deeply *
oh for the love of...
he scoops up what he can of the bouquet, including the card, and drags it inside leaving a trail of stray flowers behind
-
A -gigantic- boquet of flowers is left outside the building containing the Chancellor's office for all to see before Lucid drags it away, if he does that is. A simple card is left with the flowers simply reading:
"Congratulations Lucidious upon your up and coming marriage to the fiesty Miss Jirka. May she change your sinning ways."
The card is not signed.
