Jiyyd Rumors
-
After hearing of the count's recent threats against Jiyyd, Erugdish takes his axe off his back and stands at the gate, smiling, waiting….
-
Kitty will happily tell anyone that Count Analdoor of Damara who was a REAL AssHAT was looking for his daughter NICHA who wears spikey green and blakc armour BUT THAT NOONE should tell him ANYTHING because he was RUDE and MEAN and deserves to have all his INSIDE bits on the outSIDE!!!!!!
-
A Damaran count was in town recently looking for Nicahh. Patrons of the inn say he threatened Drudo and pushed people around before being confronted by a large, angry mob, some of whom insulted and threatened him back, while others, including some Legionnaires and Black Sails folk, spoke to him calmly. He threatened to raze the town and walked out the West gate, followed by the whole mob, some insulting him, some trying to talk to him, they all came back hours later looking quite beat up.

this is not a rumour, it -is- the truth
The half-orc known as Ugluk Rumgut as brought some orcs as back up. He was out side jyiid talking to 2 humans and 2 elfs. The other hal-orc that was with him and that goes by the name of Grakk was also with him when he called up on a small contigent of orcs to attack the 2 humans and elfs, forcing them to retreat to the safety of jyiid.
After a small interrogation session that took place in the legion hall, it was decided that in fact the half-orc named Grakk was inocent.

Jiyyd is abuzz with rumours of giant spiders, driders and things even worse on the near road and further away in the Nars pass. Several fires are reported to have broken out in the woods, fortunately soon taken care of by the adventurers present. A huge demon spider apparantly chased noted ranger Cike Millant into town, forcing him to spend much time in the infirmary at Vrokas. Rumour has it that the reason behind all these attacks is a runaway dryad with some very nasty enemies.

_Word of Olivia's constant training in the Legion's training grounds continues to circuit around town. Her skill and determination rises with each day that passes and her focus clearly solid. It is said that she would not mind having company while training.
Not many days ago it is said that she challanged general Grag to a duel which was gladly taken up… the dwarven wizard known as Tolin was also included in the match that apparently took place in the Halls of the Legion building. The outcome of the battles is only known to those who participated.... but it would be safe to assume that Grag was victorious over Olivia._

The remains of the dwarven caracvan was scattered across the windy plains by the time the folk of Jiyyd cam across it. The orcs had been organized. Smaller ones had drawn the huge war machine that guarded it on a merry chase across the central plains while the mages and archers took out the main wagons.
Much was gone with a few chests and boots to mark where the final satnd had been made. Jerr had tried not to think about what had happened to the bodies. Grag, Kara, Olivia and others made short work of the expanded orc force who wer ehigh on their recent victory. Many of the orc heads wound up stacked on the boots as a memorial to the dwarves who had fallen as well a a macabre sight of heads and boots with no bodies. The War machine was still fighting orcs in the plains but when it turned its attention to the adventurers they soon, with movement, confused it enough for its overtaxed systems to explode, destroying it completely.
Jerr walked back from the battle puzzling over a scroll he had found on one of the mages that had done the most damage to the group. It was written in dwarven runes and seemed to be directions and or a map. But there was soemthign about it that made the skald NOT want to hand it over to the legion for translation by their own dwarves. As Jerr put it. "Sometimes dwarves are oath bound to hide or obscure information that might contain crafting secrets. I'd like to know where this caravan was coming from and going to. I will provide a copy of the text to the legion in a few days but I am taking the scroll north to work on it myself at the college."
Grag agreed that he trusted Jerr to be good to his word and the skald soon turned North to Peltarch and the library at the college. It was days before he was seen again near the Sisterhood or the fire in Jiyyd.
dm Marshmellow for further information . . . I believe

Anyone passing the Sisterhood ranch will notice that a tall, broadshouldered man in grey and yellow armor and armed with a halberd holds his ground on the road before the fence. He has few words and quickly examines and ignores all who approach, his gaze fixed on the horizon.
-
A young man with red hair, wearing a yellow robe, is seen about town. Apparently he's recovering from stumbling on the advance of a recent Hobgoblin Attack. He often orders badger stew at the inn around 5pm

*KULL can be seen walking around jyiid and its surounding areas, with a small paper. The paper seams to be some sort of "bounty hunter" Message. To all that cross his path, KULL shows the mesage with the description of his prey and asks: haf yee seen tis farkaa? him name is Ugluk Rumgut. yuu see him, yuu talk to me! got dat ladd?

The General was seen escorted by some union members entering the crafters guild in his armour with at least 600 pounds of iron and silver ores after coming back out minutes later he was seen muttering about some rule and marchin off to look for dwin*
-
Rumour of defenders visiting from Peltarch. A known Defender Officer Officer Danerk, with two of his troop. Elsa a broad shouldered axewoman of considerable skill and a dwarven private, whose name wasn't asked came to the Jiyyd road to pay their respects to the spot where Defender Dentin Strauss fell.
-
Small rumors start of the woman who caused lots of problems with the druids, is now using the training grounds of the Legion building. She is quickly recognized as Olivia, member of the Crafter's Union and a sister of the Sisterhood of the Crimson Glove. Her visits to the training grounds are daily and last a few hours despite of the weather being good or bad. What is most noticeable is her skill with her greatsword… she wields it with great ease and speed! After watching her for a while, people say that her determination and focus is admirable.
-
A thin elf has been seen wandereing around Jiyyd. He looks at everything in awe, and will spend hours looking at certain buildings, the sky or even the lake, as if he had not seen them before. Whenever he isn't doing this, he is reading torn pieces of paper or books in very bad condition.
-
Drelan is quick to tell anyone that indicates they've fought the undead armies that usually include some blue skinned ogres, that undead were seen downing and carrying away giants, and that he thinks that undead giants may soon be spotted in their ranks as well.
-
Many would notice that construction upon the Sisterhood has started back again. Rather than expanding their facilities due to the ever growing population within the house, it seems they are reconstructing a portion of the front of the estate after some orc decided to attempt to burn the house down.
-
The Natural Union are digging again, great mining operations with Umberhulks and powderkegs. One of their mining camps was sited north of the Long Road for a while before moving on.
Seems they're using some sort of scrying to guide them to their prize.

- The Lord Protector walks into town with a small detactment of his troops and heads to the council offices… smiling*

A grumpy looking dwarf who was eating roasted potatos sits up straight and speaks to be heard
Ah' have ask't that quesh'un tree hugger. An da reply Ah gets is, 'sum people just too powerful an cannea be stop't so we jus' let em walk aboot town cus we cannea do nuthin aboot et.'

Folk start wonderin' aboot justice an law when justic an law begin ta pick an chose when it decide ta pick an chose whut evil to smite an whut evil ta welcome aboot town wit' open arms.
But den again, folk see who sides wit' who an et ain' a mystery where they real loyalties be.. an et ain the fairness of law.
snorts and goes back to eating potatoes

Oreth turns to Zyphlin, shrugs, and comments
The town needs questions like those. They keep everyone honest. When people stop questioning at all, things can get seriously out of hand.
At the same time, questioning the air is not particularly effective. People with issues should address people responsible for thos issues, rather than rumbling about ineffectively.
And asking the same question over and over once it's already been answered is foolishness.
