Jiyyd Rumors
-
A storm that passed through Jiyyd possessed winds strong enough to knock over the elf known as Aelhaearn. The elf smiled afterwards and told those nearby that it was obvious he was too lightweight to retain his footing in the face of such strong breezes, despite the bulkiness of his armor.
His smile dropped when shortly thereafter a halfling was seen flying through the air, another victim of the wind, but the halfling's laughter and excitement over the ordeal only made the elf shake his head.
Aelhaearn joined a number of other citizens that sought shelter from the storm in the Legion Hall.
-
Rumor has it that everyday at noon a runner from the Legion Hall leaves town and returns 15 minutes later bearing bundles of paper. To whom or why the runner is going back and forth is unknown.
-
A bloodied half orc/elf is seen being carryed into Jiyyd and then taken to healing wonders, 1/2 an hour later we walks out not looking all that happy and heads stright to the bandits, As soon as they rush to kill him he throws them a large sack of gold. From now on they have given up attemptign to kill him for killing there genral and now seem to be at peace with him.
//you win belthor :evil:

Vroka has been seen patrolling the town lately looking over the crops. She is often praying to herself softly carrying a symbol depicting a blooming rose on a sunburst, wreathed in golden grain. She speaks of the recent storms and how they will be a great boon to this season's harvest. She is seen going to the local farmers and speaking with them in great length about their farms and seems to be pleased with what she hears. She is seen smiling a lot these days as her prayers have obviously been answered.
-
The sensation of being watched by something benevolent that people felt in the Temple of Helm has abruptly stopped. Sightings of the white, translucent spirit have also stopped. A few people whisper concerns about this being a bad omen.
-
Many of the townsfolk talk of the great storm that blew through Jiyyd a few days back. Many had to take shelter from the storm indoors and it was reported that the wind blew several shutters open and minor damage was reported all around. It was a welcomed sight though as the crops had been suffering in past years. The farmers and townsfolk speak of a good harvest to come if this storm was any indication.
-
It is rumored that now for an entire week the mysterious hooded woman has shut herself away in her tent among the refugees, and refuses to come out for anyone who has come to see her.
-
Rumor has it a large Legion force raided an orc supply depot in the spider caves. No casualties were had and vast amounts of ore, gems, and a chest of potions were brought back. Not too surprisingly Duergar were found in the spider caves and soundly defeated.
-
Rumours spread through the day of a battle that took place on the crossroads of the nars on the route from Norwick to Jiyyd. Onlookers and wounded that withdrew to Jiyyd are seen stating about a horde of devils pushing themselves through into the nars from the Hells. The battle is stated to have started after Jarek had tried to win over a crowd of legion and others gathered.
Many fought the encroaching fiends and fought them back until the rift was sealed by the crystals attempting to prevent the rift from remaining open. Many casualties cover the day, including a few of the legion.

Malika overhears Meril's comment about the Featherflights.
"If the town would like an emmissary to speak with them, I carry a Helm of Peace that was given to me by the tribe to represent trust between them and the Circle"
-
Meril is seen about Jiyyd, repeating the warning of the Featherlight tribe: that trespassing on their land will result in death, and that it is not advised the people of Jiyyd visit their neighbours uninvited.

(reminder, this is a rumor thread)
//Yes, my response here was out of place, sorry. :oops:
-
Someone can occaisionally be seen watching from the distance in Jiyyd as if observing the small town.
-
Quiet evenings pass in the hamlet of Jiyyd. The sweet singing and cheerful presence of an elf girl are notably absent.
-
(reminder, this is a rumor thread)
-
A row was seen just outside the gates of Jiyyd.
What started as a quarrel between Belade and Rando escalated into a large mob fight.
Rando and the unidentified man wearing Helm's symbols fought a motley group, comprised of adventurers and a few Legionnaires.

Oreth rolls his eyes
The giants got a mite irritated because someone disrespected one of their corpses. They came looking for it, to take revenge. They asked for the person who took the head in the first place. They took their revenge.
And some idiot hin decided to hit on them and irritate them. Stupid people die sometimes. It happens. If you stand next to the angry, upset, 30 foot tall guy, and make stupid, irritating jokes, then SURPRISE, you get splattered like an overripe fruit. This is not a tragedy, this is….kindof funny, honestly.
As for anyone that died after Belade sacrificed herself...well, Belade made a mistake. She paid for it. End of story. Everyone who kept fighting after the giants were appeased deserved what they got.
Again. Stupid people die sometimes.

If you're going to take trophies, don't take them from people anyone cares about…

//It should be noted that the Legion members and the friends of the sacrificing Paladin all told her to stop, that someone else said that they in fact were the one that took the head, and not the Paladin, which I took into consideration deciding to go out and stop them from killing her, and Rolan made it very clear that he and I were attacking the giants, while the sacrificing Paladin was still in town. She knew we were going.
Rolan and Lyte followed her immediately, hoping to save her, within a couple of seconds of the girl.
The giants were certainly not retreating when Rolan and Lyte attacked them…they were massed in a huge pile pressed against the Jiyyd doors, just as close to being within the town as is physically possible without actually being in...perhaps ready to make another demand or assault, and the guard in question would not know this, being busy....elsewhere.
Lyte points out, with great conviction, that evil giants cannot be trusted, at all, with anything they say. The giant attacked the original party in the first place, after all, and the one in town kept escalating it's demands....first it demanded a head, then it killed a nearby citizen who was standing nearby, then, when the head was delivered, it did not leave, but demanded a victim...and the giant never stated that the giants would leave the town alone, even if the Paladin gave her life.
Lyte wonders what the complaining guard would have done if Rolan and Lyte had not initiated the attack, and the giant had returned once more, as it appeared they were about to do, demanding that a council member's child next be tossed out the gates.
While Major Lyte takes full responsibility, and is saddened, that more deaths resulted as a result of her and Rolan's charge, she points out that it was a decision that had to make instantly, if there was any hope of saving the brave Paladin walking out to her doom. If there had been time, she would have tackled the lady, //I typed this as she stepped through//, or told those weaker adventurers to wait in town, but, there was no time, and she did what she deemed best against an aggressive, evil, completely untrustworthy foe, who did indeed show no signs of leaving, but were bunched against Jiyyd's gates when she engaged them, as if to rush the town after slaughtering the Paladin.
"It is easy", she points out, "to make post battle, well thought-out observations after the battle is long over, but this was an instance where a decision had to be made in the course of one or two seconds, and the Paladin could hear, before she left, what they were about to do. She could have elected to draw her blade and wait a moment to fight along with us, but did not…and this was her choice, just as it was mine to decide to defend Jiyyd with my blade, and the choice of others who followed after us into the horribly dangerous range of the Giant's foul weapons."
she shakes her head seriously
"I do not shirk my responsibilities as a Major in the Legion and as a citizen of Jiyyd, but find it sad that a guard who is off somewhere measuring the coin in his pouch against the bravery in his heart tells complete untruths about what it was the giants were doing when Rolan and I attacked them, and the nature of the intent and the timing of our charge after the Paladin."
Major Lyte goes to seek out the Lady who walked out into the giants wrath to have a quiet talk with her about this battle

@3431924652=Uthger:
The town guards appear "grumpy". They talk of a party bringing a severed Giant head into town. Hours passed and more giants came apparently following the trail. Many died, but one of the persons bringing the head into town sacrificed herself for her mistake to stop the fighting. As the giants retreated, several legionnaires charged and attacked causing even more deaths rendering the woman's sacrifice pointless. The guards have reported the incident to the council for further review
I was one of those legionnares that died
There has been a rumor saying that all the creatures have formed an alliance and forming a plan all together for another attack to Jiyyd. The reason is not known yet.
