Jiyyd Rumors



  • A few of the Sisterhood and the skald return from the north still with bits of ice lodged in their armor. Jerr seems disapointed that he did not find what was sought but vows that they will make another trip to find the lost dwarven trail.



  • Rumor has it several families living in Jiyyd have just dissappeared. No one recalls them leaving town or acting starngely. Even more oddly all their belongings remain in their homes and in some cases food sits on the table cold and uneaten.



  • A quick trial was held for an elf named Arsmyth, who stood accused of and confessed to the murder of a Thayan apprentice outside Jiyyd. Lens Undon sentenced Arsmyth to pay the cost of the ressurrection and a further 500 gold. The representative of the Thayans left to inform "the Magister," seeming none too pleased. Lens warned the gathered adventurers to prepare for the Thayans taking the law into their own hands, but no action came before morning.

    Upon returning from besieged Norwick, Raisa is seen conversing with the local farmers as she helps tend the fields. Where she finds fears of adventurers stirring up a new enemy, she tries to raise spirits noting the successful fight her own people have waged against repeated and unprovoked invasions.



  • Rico publicly explains his own agenda.

    Rico's agenda:
    Kill Undead.
    Cure people of this "strange affliction."
    Protect the women and children and everyone else (he clearly has priorities).
    Find true love.
    Make more little Ricos and Ricoettes.



  • @471fc0bece=Oreth:

    Oreth readily and publicly explains to the necromancer

    The "Strange Affliction" would be…ghoul fever. That's kindof what ghouls do.

    Ghoul Agenda:
    Eat people
    Spread ghoul fever, thus killing people and making more ghouls. \

    Aren't you a necromancer? You should know these things. They're in your library.

    //LOL, shes too busy being evil…

  • rumors circulate that the Necromancer and Keeper of the Spellweaver Keep has been inquiring about the undead activity and about the strange affliction which causes people to gain ghoul like qualities. She seems quite annoyed that the problem is taking people attention away from more important issues.



  • ((reminds me of weight loss pills filled with tape worms))



  • ((next time post it yourself 😛 ))

    Rumor has it the undead have not reduced in activity since the destruction of some artifact but actually have become even more common. Various merchants have been selling protection from undead trinckets and potions to cure undeadedness. A few enterprising merchants have offered to 'bless' your house against undead for a nominal fee….



  • ((Elf!?))

    If Oreth or anyone speaks to Raisa, they might learn what a simple heal spell can do..



  • Rumor has it that a wandering elf stumbled into town quite charred and hurt mumbling about fixing some tainted earth by the sisters.



  • _Oreth, something of a scarce sight these days, is seen with a great degree of frequency outside the sisterhood house. Unlike the other hangers-about, however, he seems to have no interest in guarding it or fraternizing with the sisters, and mostly ignores all but the most cursory of interactions with them. Instead, he seems to be studying the patch of dead, bubbling grass. Collecting bits of the bubbling fluid and blades of dead grass in vials, casting cure spells on individual weeds, testing plant growth spells on the area, and so forth.

    Regardless of whether the dead ground is responding, the areas of still-living growth seem to be getting quite unruly and overgrown in response to his prodding._



  • Rico Swift is frequently seen coming back into town from nearly every direction, battered, and bruised. Sometimes he comes back leading others who appear almost entirely unharmed, sometimes not.

    "Because I always survive."



  • Rumors about the town are flying about Jerr and his wife. Witnesses say that she was outside the sisterhood with an axe covered in his blood as he stood before her wearing nothing or next to nothing other than a layer of his own blood.

    People who have been in the sisterhood house confirm that he is sleeping on the couches of the outer room rather than in his own bed.

    A farmer who sometime trades with the Featherflights says that a lot of the women there are asking for new cloth to make skirts to look their best so Jerr might pick them as his next wife.

    Jerr himself seems even more skittish than usual when undead are mentioned.


    My thanks to Salsa and LD for beating me to a pulp and scaring me half to death, in that order.




  • 24 hours after Nyda's Hallowing the site began to issue a foul black smoke and the ground began to bubble up some sort of black oily substance killing the grass in a five foot radius.



  • Nyda spent 24 hours performing a ritual of Hallowing on the site of the destruction to purify it and prevent undead from rising there. Several people have also approached her recently since it seems she has cure at least one very advanced case of the ghoul fever without having to resort to killing and raising the victim..



  • Rumors spread that an artifact that many believed to be the Orb of Mykrul was destroyed, outside the Sisterhood by Nyda using Selunes blessing, after a long battle with a variety of undead. Some wonder with the supposed orb gone if the attacks will stop, though many still whisper it was obviously not the orb or the creatures would have done more to stop its destruction.



  • _A very sizable group of adventuring folks gathers at the west gate of Jiyyd, sallying forth in some mission in connection to the persons the priest Raryldor and the druid Fadia.

    The group includes good friends of both of these persons, and looks of grave concern seem to be the common countenance among them.

    The people return to town in small groups singly and in pairs days later, looking tired, without thier friends._



  • Rumours spread of a mighty warrior named Averice Bloodchilde, who lay entombed beneath a ruined tower on the planes, along with his very magical sword.
