Whispers at the Fire



  • Rumors spread that many a dead goblins and a few lone Bugbears lay dead in the North East Rawlins slain by numerious arrows so fine they seem to be of Elven quality. For the experianced tracker many many light footed footprints MIGHT be found, but mostly there is hardly any indictation of the presence which fired so numerious a quantity of arrows that little space was left in the Goblins and Bugbears.



  • Word spreads of a tall half-orc donned in shiney plate planning to ask a certain crimson-haired half-elf out to dinner at the Boarshead. Rumor has it that the half-orc has been gathering flowers from the surrounding woods for the past few weeks.



  • Word spread about a possible attack that was to be launched upon the druid glenn by several green skins. Rumor says two rangers, one a tiny crimson haired creature, the other a dark haired lordly man, were seen battling no less than 20 of the goblin's best assassins. When the assassins could not pass the two, a line of archers were set up. All were slaughtered quickly and efficiently. The crimson haired lass leaves word at the glenn with the first druid she finds for them to be on guard.



  • The Bugbear Dinner Affair

    Recentlly the trio of Moe, Kara and Hedia returned from out deep in the rawlinswoods. When they were in sight of Norwick's gate they were ambushed by horsed of goblins and bugbears. For A whole day the trio held the horsed of bugbears and goblins at bay. The whole fight shouts and accusations of "It's all your fault" could be heard to be hurled at Moe. Rumour has it Moe aggrivatedt he bugbears when he banged on the Warren's door with his double axe wanting to apparaently invite them over for dinner.



  • Before the next festival for the coming winter a heafty stack of meat is found outside the south gates of Norwick. It seems to be a tribute of some sort. Druids may grumble about the amout of dead animals in the rawlins but all seem to have been lame and would not have survived the winter anyway. Mecc might immediatly recognize who made such a tribute.



  • With crime at an all time low, the tall half-orc known as Orc Man but commonly called Moe is seen to be increasingly bored on his patrols, to keep himself enteratined he has begun to sing to himself as he patrosl the streets. His naturally deep barritone voice is forced to the higher pitches where it constantly breaks as he struggles to keep pitch and tone in his voice. When told he is a horrible singer he meerely replies "It sounds good when I have my helm on!"



  • Word spread that the Goblins and Bugbears work togeather again training Worgs, Beetles, and Umberhulks. And have been attacking sporadically the Southern Gate.

    On another note, Rumors start to spread of Demons and other nightmarish looking creatures wandering the Rawlins. The large nightmarish Demon even being spoted right outside the Southern Gate. These rumors continue even though the last sighting was a while back after a group of adventurers traveled into the woods following the Large Demon.



  • Mog is seen pulling several bodies into town of large ape like creatures(dire apes to the Lore types). Seems a band of them decided to ambush Mog in the East Rawlingswood. Mog tells everyone to becareful that the woods seem to be occupied by strange creatures of late.



  • Word spreads of four women and one man in dark plate entering Norwick, heading to the inn, all covered in blood. Guards would tell of how they spoke of being attacked by a rogue band of Eastlanders while walking through the pass. However aggression did not stop once they entered town. Several Eastlanders were seen in the inn attacking the man in dark plate, the blonde with a gut wound, and the pissed off red head. The blonde girl was held prisoner in the inn and robbed of all items bandit related and beaten to a bloody pulp while the other members of the party were outside trying to arrange for help from the Norwick militia. No Eastlanders were seen leaving the inn although the wounded blonde girl vaguely remembers seeing them using potions of invisibility before they left her to die in the inn. The message from the Eastlanders seemed to be clear: Those with Eastlander gear will be attacked and the Eastlanders will reclaim their property.



  • Rumor spreads of Bugbears invading the goblin territory in the Northwest Rawlins.



  • A foul smelling orcess has recently taken up residence near Norwick. Rumor has it she lit a powderkeg in Jiyyd and was run out of town.



  • A group of people headed into the east rawlinswood a while ago, and only came back days later. While walking back into town, they were discussing whether the ettins they encountered were a scouting party, or a migrating tribe. A redheaded, pale skinned elf came back out not that long ago, dressed in nothing more than some underwear, and took a long bath in the lake.



  • _Throughout the rain storms over norwick for the last tenday, many commoners and adventurers alike had been seeking shelter within the inn and enjoy an ale in the process. During the night, all manner of stories and rumours are exhanged over to the heavy oak tables overflowing with half empty pint mugs and cheese. Among these, it's mentioned that one of the Local Kelemvorites has been seen striding back and forth from the Shrine of dawn and Fred's house with a look of determination on her face, although few to none know what she has on her mind.

    Later that day, Rumours spread that the warrioress intends to lead an expedition into an old ruined temple deep beneith the earth to assess the state of the catacombs there and also to remove any possible threats to the restful dead. When approached and asked, she simply replies:

    "Kelemvor's will be done."_

    ( OOC on : Due to the issues with arranging these sorts of things, I'll be running this on friday, at about 6/7 pm EST. Any members of the watchful repose will be especially welcome to come along, although anyone with an interest in divine events is welcome. I'll be hoping to keep this as close to pnp as possible, so no 5 second rests, etc etc.

    Above all, hopefully fun.)



  • Despite the crystal activity wog can bee seen alot around norwick talking to members of the collectice despite all the supposed signs of danger about them and the crystals. This is evan more surprising since he normally hated norwick and tryed to avoid being there. Howevrer when ever in norwick he always keeps a safe distance from the crystals.



  • :: A woman in a white robe, hood pulled low has been seen just outside the southern gates, though whenever someone moves close to her to try to arrest or see her face, she turns and runs, only to disappear into the Rawlins ::



  • _… in the evening shadows, a plate-wearing dwarf walked through town, taking the "long way" past Fine's barns to the Crafting Hall. Though he stayed in the shadows, he made no attempt to hide his heavy foot-fall in the newly fallen snow.

    Anyone close enough could have heard several voices within the hall, even a few chuckles. After several minutes he exited. He then spent a few minutes inspecting the new doors that have been constructed on the hall, noticing that the same old trusty-rusty lock is still in use. The doors seemed to be doing their job.

    Seeming content with what he saw, he continued south, swinging his pickaxe, muttering something about Dumathoin, ale, and copper._



  • Evendur Mildsilver, a known Senator from Peltarch and a high-ranking Spellweaver Keep official, was seen openly walking around the town in the company of Nalio Bladesong and Bryn of the Collective. Some might speculate as to what he was doing there, others might just jump to conclusions…



  • Tenar is seen about, observing those of the Crystal Army. Whenever a glance is put his way, he promptly disappears into the wilderness.



  • While Norwick was having crystals and flashing lights all about…

    A very, very, VERY loud feline roar was heard echoing throughout the whole Rawlinswood and the town itself.



  • One night, Yolanda arrives back in Norwick, walking side by side with Mirkali.
    Her bad mood seems to have turned around completely as she flashes warm smiles to everyone she sees, and the occasional winks make some people joke she's becoming the Yolanda she was when she worked for Ikurus, however not everyone seems to get it.
    She is still seen going to secluded places to practice with the greatsword, for a moment of solice, or trying to cast spell while wearing armor.
