Jiyyd Rumors
-
A man in Legion colored leathers was seen talking with a beautiful blond-haired woman for hours, just inside the entrance to the Jiyyd bat caves
-
a certain elder of the circle would like to know the location of whatever plant the drow are smoking
-
A rumor seems to suggest that the drow want to take away the sun, or maybe move the entire surface undergound.
-
Genzir can be seen running around in a dignified frenzy, casting spells (of magic detection, to those who would recognize the) all over town and on the outskirts, and asking if anybody knows what caused the recent degradation of the Weave.
-
It is rumored that Draihken, Raver and Sywyn discovered a werewolve nest just outside of Jiyyd, the werewolve was destroyed and the corpse's within the cave were burned to prevent any spread of the lycanthropy disease, the location of the werewolve was given to them by the heroic farmers boy Jordi who had seen the creature and had planned to kill it himself
-
Anyone venturing to the plains can see the bodies of orcs scattered like broken childrens dolls
-
Word spreads that a squad of orcs were on recently on the East Road attacking three people searching for a trouble-maker that was in town before. Major Theaon can be heard muttering that if the orc chief wishes to meet with General Grag, they should honor the cease-fire instead of acting like the pig farkers they normally are.
-
*General Grag is seen carrying a dead corpse with many legion members and Shane tot he Helm temple many seemed happy with this man being dead…....

Residents awaken one morning to an absolutely delightful smell coming from the cookpot by the gate. The stew-pot is filled with a soup made with meaty soup-bones, garlic, onions, and a large quantity of very unusual mushrooms that you would not recognize unless you happen to frequent mineral-rich areas of the underdark. The Keeper of Spellweaver and another man sit by the pot sipping bowls of the soup, which is soon devoured by the local farmers and other townsfolk, some travelers, and a few legionnaires. The pot is empty by early afternoon.
EDIT:
Later on, Genzir, Nym and Seer are seen standing around near the gate talking in, again, a bewildering multitude of languages and commenting on whether they make sense and understand each other.
-
A red-haired young man with a pike sits in the inn, having a few ales, and soon gets drawn into a conversation about the current council..
"Wi' them Helmers and them Legion.. wha's the councel doin' anyways, 'cept fer sittin' on them arses whilest people 're dyin'. Ah say, let them Legion er Helmers run town.. er tha' Dwin.. 'least they get things done wit'."

A great bolt of lightening recently struck the cookpot in Jiyyd, zapping it into oblivion and in its place leaving a rather confused and panicked chicken. The small crowd were at first dumb-struck by the feathery visitor's flashy arrival, but the real trouble began when the chicken clucked and a ring of fire surrounded it. The bird panicked even more at this, running about and leaving trails of wildfire in its wake. It headed for the Silver Valley, and there the mystery was solved by shopkeeper Freppi after some more fiery troubles. It seems an insistant gnome mage bought some rather peculiar eggs from the store, and apparantly thought it a fine idea to eat them…Speaking the mage's name, Pluck, returned the gnome to his rightful form. Thus the age-old mystery of what came first, the chicken or the egg, was solved: it was the egg.

With a nice sized crowd in jiyyd, Genzir and Lucidious spent some time testing a spell they had been researching in their spare time. Placing the crowd between them, they would each cast in turn, attempt to whisper messages back and forth though the crowd without being overheard. Just as they seemed to be making some progress, the spell apparently backfired setting off sonic distortions in the ears of both casters causing temporary deafness and bleeding from the ears. Those nearby at the time said it sounded like muffled thunderclaps going off around them. Luckily, the cleric Raryldor was on hand to tend to their injuries before any permanent damage was done.
-
Major Theaon can be seen taking a Legion scout to the well in Jiyyd. The scout is holding a pencil and a ruler. Theaon carefully lowers the scout into the well. About 20 minutes later, Theaon pulled the scout of the well. Onlookers just saw the scout muttering what seemed to be a few numbers to the Major.

On a rather quiet evening, a woman of the sisterhood returns from the swamp and bears a warning. At first ignored, she is tracked down soon enough by a sun elven wizard who brings her back to the town and has her retell the story of what transpired which involved a demon by the words of the sun elven wizard. The paladins present proceed to the swamp without hesitation. The wizard, being not quite as quick, follows them after a short delay but he returns soon thereafter to the fire, bearing fresh bruises and a bad mood. A long time later, the redhead from the sisterhood also returns and warns people to not enter the swamp because of a shadowy demon that haunts there. The names Zoma and Grey are often mentioned, in connection with this.
-
From time to time, Genzir and Elridith are seen standing near the campfire speaking in what seems to be a number of different, strange languages. Their bizarre dialog is interspersed with some phrases in the local tongue, and others in less-common but familiar ones. Those comprehensible parts of the conversation, if that's what it is, are completely random and disconnected, switching topics for no apparent reason. Throughout the conversation, Genzir waves his hands and fingers around in the precise, elegant gestures of a spell-casting mage.

_Late one evening Dwin Dolvak arrives in Jiyyd with 6 Norwick Guardsmen and 4 mule-drawn carts. The group heads straight to the Crafters Workshop where Dwin leaves one guard outside and brings the rest in with him.
For the next 2-3 hours, the men and Dwin load the carts with crates, some heavier than others. Dwin takes careful notes, writing a number on each crate and recording the inventory in a small book.
The carts are eventually loaded and the contents tethered with ropes and covered with oilcloths. 2 of the guards walk ahead to the gate, and flash a hand signal to the rest that it is safe to proceed.
As soon as the group leaves the gates, bows are drawn and the party continue quickly, but cautiously, along the west road._
-
The Black-Robe Highwayman is said to have snuck inside Jiyyd, using a spell of invisibility to taunt previous victims and appearing and disappearing mockingly. Neither the Helmite guards nor those of the Legion seemed able to apprehend him.
-
At hearing the rumour Juster nods in agreement.
"Yea, i saw him walk up and bump against Krull and the thought crossed my mind but i didn't think anything of it. Then he goes and does the same to Genzir and then just bolts off as Genzir turns around. Funny, i waved to him and said hello, and he still tried to rob my friend right in front of me."
Juster then just walks off lightly shaking his head and grumbling about hins having to keep the stereotype alive.
-
_Apparently there was a small commotion in the commons, a hin that supposedly stole or attempted to steal from Genzir. Aelthas was seen taking the hin to the legion halls with genzir and Lady Kara, so the mob that was forming around him wouldnt hurt him. Genzir was heard remarking that a simple payment of mopping the legion hall would suffice for payment for the crime against him.
The hin gave them a hard time and was later brought to the guard at the gates, who grew tired of his constant yelling and so pointed to the gates. Aelthas escorted the hin out so everyone would be able to relax for a bit, at which point, the hin returned to town by jumping over the wall and started his complaining again.
Aelthas simply remarked he would find Genzir to press formal charges and let the council handle it. He also seems to be looking for Lyte and a Lady Khaya that may have witnessed the crime_
-
Word spreads of powerful undead and duerger inhabiting Mintas. Something about pink creatures and exploding bears.
