Jiyyd Rumors
-
Mysterious gnomes are rumoured to have attacked Legion members and various travelling adventurers just outside Jiyyd. A subsequent chase led out into the Nars pass, ending hours later with the return of the Legionaires carrying the body of the half-orc Kull into Vrokas.
-
A small incident ocurred in the Regal Whore. The druid, Wolf struck down Grak, after the half-orc made a nasty insult. Wolf was taken to jail without resistance and resides there for the next week (1 day RL).
-
_Rumors are heard throughout town about the Dark Enchantress walking into town and dropping the head of Koreth on the road, a smug look on her face, before disappearing in a portal with the head.
People also seem to be talking about the young Watchman Aelthas talking to the Dark Enchantress, apparently telling her that she may need to come face charges of murder while the other guards seemed smart enough to simply get away and find Grag.
Although he didnt look drunk, Aelthas did smell of wine a bit and it leads some to believe he had to be very drunk to even tell the Dark Enchantress she has to come in for questioning._
-
_Sounds coming out of the Jail can be heared near the building
Tha Fark! ge' ma out ef her'!! Ye sa'd it be only on' week!! I saw al'red-y three sun rases! Er ye ge' me out ef her' er I break tha doo'!!
Gotrek stayed shaking the door with his massive arms till He felt down unconcious of tiredness_

The Sunite paladin Belade Galadon seems quite interested in this colourful group.
-
A strange pair walks through the gates consisting of a pink "knight" and a purple "squire." Later the name "The Order of the Colorful Knights" was mentioned, along with something about a Pink Paladin and everyone except her wearing purple. What is the world coming to?
-
Some of the common folk present for the bout smirks and comments
Me is think'n some of them folk are bad losers. Them got a pretty bad hiding. That's Mel wuman is skilled.

Word has quickly spread that the beloved cookpot near the west gate is gone! Rumor has it that an angry dwarf and his axe are to blame, and that the offending dwarf was later smitten by lightning, no doubt the work of vengeful gods.
Upon seeing the sad, empty spot where the cookpot once bubbled out its mysterious odors, the great ranger, Aghila of the Peltarch Far Scouts, the wise arch-mage Keeper of Spellweaver, Genzir Malark, his student Tobias, and a hin wearing a robe, resolved to correct the situation, and headed off to Ormpur to seek a new cookpot. Braving ferocious wolves, the intrepid Fellows of the Cookpot trekked to Ormpur, and returned, frigid and gravely wounded, and still without a cookpot.
Un-deterred, they set out again, this time braving a terrible storm and a massive flood that threatened to wash away the entire town, and made their way out the west gate and down the road to Peltarch. Upon reaching the great city, Genzir immediately went to the market and traded a sizeable pouch of precious gold coins for a shiny new copper cauldron, big enough to feed dozens of hungry travelers!
But, no sooner did Genzir drag the cookpot out of the city then he detected, of all things, a wild magic surge! Risking dire consequences, he cast a spell to turn himself into a troll, the faster to carry back the precious copper cauldron. Lucky for him (and the town) the spell worked normally. Aghila, however, who tried some magic of his own, was not so lucky and flung himself dozens of yards into the air, luckily landing on his feet, unharmed.
Genzir walked into town the next day, the elf Laucius by his side, and set the new cookpot in its rightful place, suspended from a sturdy tripod. As the aroma of roasting wolf and bear meat wafted from the fire, and hungry heroes and hunters gathered round, Genzir stood and addressed the eager crowd.
Anyone who messes with the new cookpot, or in the case of a wild surge, anybody unlucky enough to be standing near anyone who messes with the cookpot, is in for a world of fiery pain. With the wild surges rampant again, I expect this cookpot will see a lot of use in the coming months. It just won't do to have it ruined or missing. Oh, and please wash it out after you're done using it.

Rumours speak of meteors flying in Jiyyd and people getting randomly struck down and confused by powerful magics.
-
Rumors suggest that the very interesting contest about the heavyweight contest in Jiyyd's Regal Whore's basement, was not a contest of skills, but rather a contest of equipment.
-
Rumors have it that Draihken Harbringer, Jiyyd Militia Member and newest Guardian of the Temple of the Vigilant and the stoic, fierce looking barbarian Raver Styx are getting married.
When questioned, Raver actually blushed and smiled, rare indeed are those…..

The bodies of four adventurers - two dwarves of well-known clans, a purple-haired elf, and a human(?) - were pulled from the swamp mists after a battered and bloodied newlywed druid emerged from there screaming for assistance. The corpses were delivered to Vroka and Finnius by a stoic Raryldor and battleweary Droigo. Shortly afterwards, Krig Skullboil - in his dazzling and blinding armor - entered the swamp with Call Sanner and a conspicuously large elven archer to retrieve the belongings of the slain heroes, visiting destruction upon everything in the swamp that stood in their way, despite the unfortunate influence of wild magic.
Raryldor and Krig were able to call the spirits of the deceased to return to their material hosts.
((sorry if this isn't 100% accurate, just piecing things together))

Rumour speaks of a group of Tormish who came to Jiyyd seeking those of true heart to help in a holy quest, many goodly people came to their call and the large group was last seen headed north. It was said that Sir Mariston Thel led the group to the lands far to the north.
-
Word spreads of a trio of folk that came running out of the Jiyyd swamp while being followed by a very large and angry troll. Luckily Regrin was nearby and aided in the fight that then ensued. After a few minutes of fighting, they were able to take down the foul smelling beast. Afterwards, the darkly clad bunch burned the troll. A female member of the group in black and blue mail was heard saying, "First a crazy elf tries to burn us to death, and now a troll just tried to slash my face off…...So what else is going to happen today!?"
-
The Bell tower from the temple of Helm rings loudly throughout the afternoon, as Draihken Harbringer completes his squiring with Shane Andryl and is knighted to serve as a watcher in Helms service.
-
Rumors about packs of winter wolves wandering the road to Ormpur are repeated more and more often by wanderers. These packs often even sport a larger wolf that is said to be blessed by the evil goddess of winter. Any and all who approach the blessed wolf feel her cold touch. Some more hearty fellows point out that suitable protection against that particular deity's favorite wrath can be purchased in a small store for exquiste clothing in Peltarch.
-
A challenge to the death was issued with the sails over a verbal slight, and was eventually met by the six present Sails. Raryldor struck first blood….and second, and third, and fourth, but spared the lives of the fallen and badly wounded sailors. He was eventually ground to the grass by Drelan and an errant archer, his life spared perhaps by the sails, perhaps by the intervention of onlookers.
-
_Rumours buzz around town about orcs sneaking into town and slaughtering a family in a house near the mill, as well as abducting the children of said family. A group of Black Sails, Legion members and an assorted bunch of do-gooders ventured east to search for the children. The rescue team returned with one of the missing youngsters, but word has it there is at least one other still unaccounted for. The boy and his surviving aunt are said to be recoperating at the temple.
On a sidenote, the elven priest Raryldor challenged a number of Black Sails to a fight just outside Jiyyd, but was ultimately defeated by the black and gold-clad crew. Both parties seemed able to put their differences aside to aid in the kidnapping drama though._
-
Word spreads around Jiyyd that, Kara, Sergeant of the watch is looking to hire some woodfolk skilled in tracking for a possibly dangerous assignment. Everyone interested is to contact her immediately.
-
_A few hours later, several defenders can be seen near the west gate. They are speaking about options of constructing better defenses to keep the town safer. Shane is seen amongst them, as well as several others. All by all, the tone of the conversation is grim.
It is said that the conversation resulted from a small band of Orcs that came to insult the town's defenders, and had what appeared to be a feast afterwards alongside the road just west of Jiyyd, until they were dispersed.
A while later the band is seen heading for Ormpur._
