Some crafters re-entered town with some common folks and their ox-lead caravan of goods. The carts were piled high with sacks of copper ore, and the oxen were clearly not happy with what they had assumed would be an easy day of carting home-goods to and fro Ormpur.
The Crafters, lead by one dashing dwarf in silver armor, seemed only mildly concerned with the fact that they were saving Grag's hide with almost 200 large rocks full of copper ore.
Once they unloaded their goods, they started discussing the scene in Ormpur, and the night they spent with the merchants held up in a barn. It seems that once again the inhabitants of Ormpur have disappeared, and left nothing to show for themselves but some still-warm puddles of blood.
While inside the barn throughout the night, they were surrounded and had to defend themselves against what sounded like a large pack of wolves. On several occassions the 'canines' broke through the walls, but they were held back. No one ever saw enough of one to identify them as worg, whitewolf, or even werewolves.
By the next morning, they were left in peace…all that remained was the bloodstained ground, several tufts of fur, and a barn that was barely standing.
Travellers heading east to Ormpur should do so with great care.
-
A bard was seen telling a tale of Chaevre the dark enchantress in Jiyyd today… whether or not this tale had any truth remains to be seen... but it was no doubt a good story.
-
A ghostly figure stood in the center of town and chatted with adventurers for awhile. He seemed to be very concerned about some evil brewing in Narfell.
-
The two farmers lean on shovels in an age old fashion and chat, watching the sun set.
"Ya know who I ain't seen hide nor hair of in a while."Says the older, nodding towards the sun as it dips to the horizon.
"Yup, seen his wife though."
"Comes in after sunset, don't she?"
"Ah think she's out listenen for him. Iffen he is in the naighborhood, you knew it come sun down"
"Or sunup. He was regular, weren't he?"
"Yup"
-
A woman of the planes is rumored to appear in Jiyyd. Dark, hairless wings arch from her back and she carries a whip and scimitar of flame. It is said she has appeared at least twice in town, both times she has harassed Evia the mercenary. The last time was near the Jiyyd fire, where she gave Evia an ominous warning that only a few days remained.
-
A somewhat odd bard has been seen in jiyyd a lot recently, calling himself "Vittorio"
-
*A large caravan of experianced and well known adventurers including Sy'wyn and Alvar Blackwood, Legioneers Lyte, Lilin and White Lotus, and valiant adventurers Pete, Cike, Hedia, Penny, Lilly and Star are seen dragging sacks and bundles of pine logs and copper ore, advancing through Jiyyd towards the Legion Hall, for some mysterious enterprise.
Rumors circulate of a gigantic copper sheathed pine throne that Major General Grag has ordered built.
Other's speculate it may be some sort of Legion Armory weapon project.
Still others suspect siege engines for an all out attack against the orcs.
Whatever the case, massive amounts of materials are gathered, and other expeditions seem to be mounting in pursuit of some secret scheme.

_The elf known as Syrano and the half orc known as Wog headed off to the swamp looking bored. An hour or so after they came running out of the swamp, Wog covered in alot of blood, some of it seeming troll and a large amount his own, Syrano seemed fairly unharmed. THey where being chased by a gigantic troll. They ran to the gaurds seeking aid in felling it. After a long long fight it finally felll. It seemed to be trying to get some fresh food. It seemed they ahd ran into a colany of trolls in the cave in the swamp. Having killed around 5 trolls they came across the cheiften and after a fight they had fled to Jiyyd.
Another elf, Nako, joined them in heading back in to the swamps to clear out the rest of the cave from trolls and to agther any bodys left there. Another hour or so later they returned. The two elfs seeming unscarthed again and the half orc/elf seeming to be bloodyed again, half of it his own, the rest being troll and maybe some of the small chunks from the disinbowled human body over his shoulder. As they left it seemed to be heard mutterings, mainly from wog about a ghoul also down there._
// TY Salsa! was really really fun
-
A red mage was seen attacking a bard around the fire in jiyyd. The guards stepped in and the mage promptly left.
the bard is fine, and fiesty as ever.
-
The statue of Meril Tolin took to Jiyyd was so extraordinarily lifelike that it's rumoured that Tolin may in fact be Narfell's premier sculptor.
-
Lyte of the Legion can be heard asking for volunteers to form "resource gathering parties" to acquire raw meat, copper ore and pine logs for some vast Legion enterprise.
She sends Legion members along with any volunteers who go to protect them from trouble, and hires some wagons, sledges, porters if they are needed.
She produces some seedlings to be planted for any trees that are felled, even if they are dead ones, and offers to pay any who replant the small trees a small stipend for thier kind efforts.
//a dm can feel free to remove a couple hundred coin from Lyte to simulate this, if they wish.
-
A Group of adventurer's gathered around the cook pot of Jiyyd could not help but suddenly get a chill down thier back and a few compelled by a dark feeling of fear and someting ominous watching over them run every which way they could to escape it.
Knowing full well the sensation Melanie Stern runs out of Jiyyd acompanied by many of those gathered, and screams of fear and shouts are heard to the west of Jiyyd.
The Black Dragon appears again.
The group Returned Battered and Brused but no deaths thankfully this time.
-
A bloodied (But comepletely alive) group return from the spider caves, having killed a crap-load of deugar, all to save Moe's stuff.
-
Amywyn Galipe disdainfully watches them pass and is heard to mutter in elven
e> their coddeling does the pups no good; better they die now before they understand what it is they have lost ..
turns away in disgust
-
Cike is seen carrying a shield with a squarming bundle where soft wolf cries can be heard from within. Milk seems to be driping from the shield and the cloth is spattered with it. Entering town from the east he is acompanied by Llach and Alvar Blackwoood, and his Love Lilin, all three protectivly guarding the area around Cike. They pass through and were seen heading out into the pass. Many assume towards the Wolve's Den.
//Very VERY graphic discovery channel Event. Thank you Yithers!

There seems to be something odd going on with the local chickens lately. Everytime someone tries to catch one, they scramble off in a particular direction. Several farmers already have tried to catch one, only to come back covered in feathers and peck-marks, mumbling about vengeful chickens (even exploding ones) in a state of shock.
-
In the commons, Wog was seen talking to a bird in common. A few minutes later Folir came up and pulled out a crossbow. Wog, being protective put his hand on the bow to stop Folir from starting to load it, which he thought would be his next move. Folir being protective of his stuff got angry and a few minutes later, grabbed Wog by the through giving him a large burst of negitive energy. Before pounding the hell out of him. Wog called for the gaurds and Masder came running up as Wog, who wasnt prepared to fight back, was beten to the ground. Folir was made to pay a fine and was removed from town.

Up in the archers tower overlooking the gate of Jiyyd two elves talk.
"I tell you, we have got to find him someone."
The female makes a small moue and shakes her head. "Llach? you've seen how mercilessly he teased Py when she had a boyfriend."
"Fadien, I also have seen how he acts around other women lately. He got me to follow a elf sorceress named Lwyn, looking for the 'lair' of an aquaintance." I Know he knew there was something funny about it but he went right along like a sheep to the slaughter.
"And you followed too?" She asks dryly.
"Well, somebody had to look after Llach."
"And we do that, he IS family."
"So it is the usual trip along the east road to Ormpur. Lwyn gets hurt but says she is afflicted with 'wild magic' and stops Llach from healing her. We get to Ormpur and she is not even sure which cave she needs to go into. So we start to explore and what do we trip across but a pair of humans in a coughs delicate moment."
"Poor Llach."
"yeah well he didn't spend a lot of time there, but neither did we. Next cave just has some bodies in it and little else so we move to the third."
"Third is always lucky"
"Suppose it was, there was somethig in there. Looked like demeneted undead trees. They cast spells and charged us but Llach and I fought side by side and they fell swiftly."
"Side by side? Llach uses a bow . . . "
"I tell you he is getting strange when women are present. Then he pulls back as the slime off the walls gathers up into this huge glob of mucus and attacks. Lwyn and I are almost stuck in it when Llach touches the walls and lightning fills the air."
'Inside the cave?"
"I know. It hurt him some because he staggered up and had to lean against me as we moved forward again. There was a man, beyond the strange monsters. All dressed in dark with a black shield he applauded our efforts then brushed past and out of the cave. No thanks, just an 'Oh well done'"
"Was Llach all right?"
"He got his strength back and but there was nobody else in the cave, just a small chest. Llach took some things from it but we haven't done any division of things yet."
"So then you came home?"
"We were going to, but Llach heard somethign up in the hills and lead us back to where a wolf was trying to tell Cike something. Cike was one of the humans we had . . . .ahem . . .interupted earlier."
Fadien smiles. "humans…they are insatiable."
Alvar chuckles. "That is exactly what Lwyn said. So we follow him and the wolf, Lllach running to lead the way, and we find a pack of wolves in a cave gathered about a bitch about to give birth."
"Oh! How Cute!"
"No, it wasn't. I did not go well. In spite of everything Llach and Cike and the human female could do, the she wolf died."
"And the cubs?" Fadien asks, tearing up.
He snorts. "With Llach there? He sent ME running into town to buy milk. Then Cike took the four little cubs and we escorted hi all the way back to the Wolf lair. Cike hoped that one of the peope there might have a shewolf that could suckle the newborns. last i saw of Cike he was hanging about the front of their gate, in case they needed anything."
Fadien smiles. "He is fine. But maybe we should see about finding someone for him . . . ."
"What do you mean 'we'?"
Fadien chuckled so evilly that Alvar felt a chill run down his spine.
