Jiyyd Rumors



  • Another rescue. A hin girl and Devlin of the Black Sails were taken whilst patrolling the wolfcaves. Some sort of vile horned beast and its friends dragged their unconscious bodies away down a hole.

    Elyl, Jonah, Shannon and Keira set out there at the urging of another hin to rescue the girl. All returned, after some tough fighting and the destruction of an altar to unknown powers. There may have been some trial, or disputes since Keira left Jiyyd shortly after, looking preoccupied.

    // Thanks DM ugly!



  • A blurry looking cow ran into Jiyyd, and joined the other cows for a bit before running outside again. No one knows where she went.



  • Upon hearing the rumours of such existence of the charming man, a particular silver haired one eyed man could be seen looking edgy and had been making sure that no man had been gazing on his wife with the kind that will result to a miserably painful misunderstanding.

    "…It better not be Damarcus otherwise, I will most definitely turn him into a castrato."



  • Those that pass the Sisterhood may notice a great sword, that was for years used to mark the grave of a warrior, is now missing from the western side of the farm. Folks may also notice an old face is once again seen in Jiyyd and the name Talgris seems to be passed from person to person. Though some ladies that remember this.. charming man from years past… instantly go about locking up their maiden daughters, one crimson haired lady in particular seemed absolutely excited to see the warrior.



  • Some people are talking of two huge bears walking around near the fire. Sniffing all those around for food and even raiding the trash can by the boarshead. Some people even say the bears ate a hin. Some people just frown and say derogatory things about druids, while others note that the bears were exceptionally good at hiding in the grass and walking quietly for their size. They were then seen heading off in the direction of the valley. The other hin must have tasted good…



  • The Re'cual estate has been locked tight for some tendays now, and there has been no sight of the Blue Bard from the North anywhere in the small town recently.



  • _Ever since the Health Inspection department sent by BS (Board of Security) to inspect the particular restaurant in Jiyyd known as Rats & Bats due to its prone from getting into a chain of 'incidents', the owners of the restaurant could be seen looking flusterred and annoyed as they attempted to clean up and renovate the restaurant.

    It is believed that the Restaurant may not be in an acceptable condition to serve the customers despite the owner's and the people who work in there protests._



  • Apparently hot on the heels of the robbers of some caravan a pair of sails ventured through Jiyyd, gathering up a small contingent of the resident adventurers to push through to Jiyyd and into a cave nearby. On their return they seem a bit disappointed and a bit worried, having found but a clue of the stolen cargo and with it many more questions.



  • _A large crowd of adventurers gathered informally near the center of town and discussed the Council and the future of Jiyyd's governing body, including the practicality of having a single leader to make decisions and keep the town moving. The usual names surfaced during the conversation, including Trent, Kara and Grag.

    Non-adventuring townfolk seem to take interest in the bits and pieces they learn from Basha, Dalron or Shantie. When they gather in the Whore or pass each other on the road, there is some alarm at the notion some of the adventurers have about the approach of war._



  • Skeletons and other undead have been seen walking in the caves East of Jiyyd. When they fall, they rise again. The Death Knight's armies are marching.



  • Sabre, recovering in Jiyyd from her recent bout of gnome-related stabbing and poisoning, happens to overhear the same song. She tries her very best to keep a straight face, but soon breaks down into helpless and merciless laughter. Wheezing and wiping her eyes, she eventually composes herself enough to shout down into the cells:

    "Oi Mercy! Ye better get outta there in time fer our house-warmin' party in Oscura. I'm sure Dre'd -love- ta hear this latest ditty o' yers."



    • As Foilir passes through, he stops hearing a song that starts off well:

    _A Black Sails ship came down the river
    Blow, boys, blow!
    Her masts and spars they shone like silver
    Blow my bully boys blow!

    How do you know she's a Black Sails liner?
    Blow, boys, blow!
    The Gold and Black float out behind her.
    Blow my bully boys blow!

    And who d'you think is the captain of her?
    Blow, boys, blow!
    Why, Drelan Ashire is the captain of her.
    Blow my bully boys blow!

    How are we going to get in his favor?
    Blow, boys, blow!
    He sure does love a polished sabre!
    Blow, boys, blow!

    Drelan Ashire, he's a rocket from hell, boys,
    Blow, boys, blow!
    He'll ride you down as you ride the spanker.
    Blow my bully boys blow!_

    Foilir just stands motionless and looks towards a guardsmen for confirmation the song went as he heard it.

    Blinking as if he has been staring at the sun for an hour, he dazedly staggers out of town. *



  • Somewhere in the vicinity of Jiyyd, a bard runs around holding his head and screaming "make her stop!"



  • The Seaside has come to Jiyyd!

    Folks stomping around the Jiyyd civic cells might well notice a strange ting in the air. Seaweed, ageing fish, shells and salt appear to be wafting from the bowels of the cells where Mercy lingers, locked up, loudly protesting her innocent. In particular, she has taken up singing the most ghastly songs she knows - and she knows many - night and day. These offerings are accompanied by the discordant precussion of a metal cup, constantly being rattled accross the bars of the cells.



  • _Everyone's favourite gnomes attacked once again, laying their poisonous traps along the near road, all the way up to the gate of Jiyyd. Black Sails member Devlin stumbled inside, coughing and wheezing after having set the first trap off. While his crewmate Sabre set about disarming a second trap, she was stabbed and rendered immobile by one of the gnomes. After this, most adventurers chose to remain in town, only a valiant few venturing outside the gates, notably one human and one elf male, both by the name Aelthas. The elven cleric's lifeless body was later carried into Vrokas.

    Further skirmishes are rumoured to have taken place before all three of the gnomes were slain, one far off into the Nars pass, near Oscura._



  • Sam occaisionally inquires around jiyyd if anyones seen Ting



  • Rumours spread that Ting got eaten by some women.



  • Keira is seen often in the company of a very similar pale elf with white hair. Those who know Yuna might be surprised to see that she wears the colors of the Sisterhood, while she goes about the various exercises Keira has set her.



  • Wearing an expression like stone, the archdruid - a rare sight in Jiyyd since before the birth of her daughter - entered with Fadia at her side. After asking the small crowd if they had seen Steelfin on a matter she only described as being "war, perhaps," General Lyte led her to the Legion Hall along with Tindra, Hedia, and a new recruit. The two druids emerged hours later, murmering of snakes and spiders.



  • Perhaps a day or so after the lone gnome attack two other "gnomes" were seen watching the gate. One was helmed and dressed in the common Urdlen wannabe attire while the other looked more like he could have been in the legion. They ran around with their little swords and apparently attempted to rob at least two people who happened to show up at the fire. But it wasn't hard to tell that there was something fishy about the gnomes, and to add to the strangness none of the people around the fire seemed to care at all of their presence. After a short while they got bored of robbing unsuspecting adventurers and wandered off to who knows where.
