Jiyyd Rumors
-
During the latest evening of trouble with "The Night" the man rumored to be behind the attacks on Legionnaires, several of them were set upon, and then met up with by a local druid with red hair.
At some point, the western gate leading to Jiyyd was barred somehow, and despite two fireballs beign thrown at it, held fast.
That is, until that red haired druid fella called a tremendous bolt of lightning down on it, and blew it to pieces.
No word yet on whether the town will charge him for the expense….
-
Rumor has it Lieutenant General Theaon has suspended all routine Legion patrols, or at least nightly ones for the time being.
-
(( since the PCs aren't positng))
:: rumor has it over the last few days a Shadowy figure has killed over 30 Legionnaires, others say 50. All that truely is known is Legionnaires are getting nervous and the blood stains in the ground are getting bigger.::
-
Vroka can be heard muttering about the lack of her boarder "how difficult can it be to get some reeds?"
-
After a long quiet season of no interesting rumours, the Regal Whore is finally abuzz with talk of Rubo, Caric, Ah'Ria and Lowys discovering a den of undead and Cyricists in a cave close to Jiyyd. The adventuring quartet killed the threat and re-apportioned the spoils.
-
_After hearing about the drow, General Theaon can be seen ordering some Legion troops to stand guard near the swamp entrance over the next few days.
"Keep alert troops, these bastards tend to pop up just about anywhere."_
-
Rumors fly around Jyiid that several Drow warriors have been seen in the swamp. It was witnessed by a group of adventurers that wen to rescue a fallen adventurer, but not only they found the body of the fallen one but few hours later they also came across agroup of heavly armed Drow. before the obvious number inferiority, the group of brave men and woman had to retreat to jyiid and stood fast by the swamp entrance.

_As the darkness of the previous night begins to lift, a figure can be seen on the southern hill overlooking the town, with a loose shirt, simple cloth breeches and a hand and a half sword in her hand. As the morning moves on, the red headed woman continues her training regime with the large looking sword ; ducking, dodging and weaving an intricate dance of death against the imaginary training foes.
Only when the sun rises fully into the morning sky, does she stop and then subsequently retire to the campfire nearby to offer morning prayers.
Whatever the cause, the woman appears to be quite relaxed afterwards._
-
_Theaon can be seen speaking to a group of numerous watchmen
"Rando is not to be allowed within Jiyyd. You are all well aware of the reasons so there is no need to explain them again."_
-
After what happend in Rando trial, Major KULL was heard barking at his men to close the gate and open it after the traveler that wishes to enter identify him/her self. An increase of solders is seen behind all 3 gates in jyiid, two guards both sides of the gate

a week has passed since Major Kull was arrested under the acusation of insubordination. He steps out of the Legion dungen, heads to his room to grab his equipment, stop by the mess area, eats and drinks and steps out of the Legion front gate making his way out of jyiid and starts another patrol along the nars, like nothing happend

_Among the first to meet the real threat, back on that bad day, was a small group of Sails. Perhaps because they suspected a deception, perhaps because they aren't known to risk their necks in bad odds. Whatever the reasons, the four lend their arms to driving the kobolds all the way back to Ormpur and beyond.
Now, as things settle down, Pavel can be found showing any and all interested people how to use a staff with lethal intent. He makes no difference between ages, teaching young boys as willingly as old maids._

_In what spare time Celestria might have, she offers her aid in cleaning up rubble, preparing to rebuild, acting as watch, giving away food and offering words of encouragement as well as tending to any wounded who wish Torm's healings. She offers her help to General Grag and the Legion in whatever way they may need her while she is there.
When the opportunity arises, she spends time with the children ((provided there are any)) easing their fears, having story times, making games out of the clean up and speaking to them of Torm and how his followers slay evils that do things like this._
-
Dwin leaves word with Grag and the rest that whatever remains of his farm can be used as a headquarters of sorts, as long as it remains somewhat defended.
He also asks that people not tread to heavily on the floor planks near the center of his living room. Grag and the others of the Legion will no doubt remember what's under there…
-
Ivor can be seen entering the town one day, inspecting the damage, rubbing the stubble under his chin thoughtfully. He seems to observe the non-adventuring residents, noting their condition. Afterward, he is seen talking quietly with some of them, ocassionally handing a meat pie to some of the very destitute ones…
-
Once word of the attack reaches the camp, a tall blonde warrioress sets off towards Jiyyd with long, easy strides. Ragnhild soon arrives at the Guardian Sanctuary east of Jiyyd and frowns, inspecting the damage to buildings and lands. She kindly hands out her own coal-coated cooking to any farmers desperate enough to accept such offerings, and leaves word with the Legion that she will be staying at the sanctuary for the time being, aiding in the defense of the town.
-
For some time after the battle, Z is seen patrolling the eastern farmlands with a huge water elemental.
With a shovel in one hand and a holy symbol in the other, he spends the next couple of days helping the farmers put out the remaining fires and blesses each field in the name of Chauntea.
In addition, rumor has it, that a large sum of gold was captured from the giants and was promptly donated to help the farmers rebuild their farms and replant their crops.
((Thanks for a great event!!! DrD and Lucid))
-
In the aftermath of the attack, Dentin has spent a good amount of time around Jiyyd, putting out fires and repairing what could, calling on Gond's Mending occasionally. He often mutters about the constant threats.
-
Word as it that Major kull was arrested. And his beeing held in the Legion cells. It seems that after a long discussion, general Theaon gave the arrest order for desobeying orders and insuburdination

_The eastern part of town is now laying in ruins, the burnt out husks of what once used to be the homes of the citizens now filter smoke into the air as they smolder. The farms on the east road have a similar fate and some farmers are moving into town while they rebuild their homes..
After a high alert of an army orcs on the plain, which turned out to be only scarecrow orcs, the real threat came from the snow goblins of the mountains as a whole army marched on Jiyyd, burning homes, slaughtering the citizens as the brave defenders were off on the plains getting ready to fight the fake orc menace.
The citizens will rebuild as always, yet now they seem worried.. there is no mindless army of orcs at their gates, there is a cunning and massive army of white goblins, even reinforced by small units of frost and hill giants to worry about.
The day was won by Jiyyd and its defenders, but not without a cost.. a new threat now faces Jiyyd and it people.. the drums of war can be heard in the mountains._
