Jiyyd Rumors
-
_As the dawn rises on yet another fresh morning, tired wood artisans are seen leaving the southern hill just as you leave jiyyd, on the long road….they move straight past anyone and head to the whore for a large pint of ale. Behind them in the distance, a small camp appears to have been set up, along with a set of ladders and a small fence.
It is anyones guess what is going on, though, Kara, a familiar figure is seen regularly moving up the ladder, soon disappearing into the trees.
They didn't eat her whole, did they?_

a dark skinned priestess of Umberlee nods, pulling her hood down a bit lower against the wind.

2 dead women and their belongings (enough clothes for a whole village) were brought into Jiyyd by a Banite wizard in trollform, who then collapsed under the weight when Tolin dispelled him. After handing over the bodies and their belongings, and asking for a thank you (which he was refused), he left grumbling, determinded that no matter what you do, the good people of Jiyyd don't look past your skin.

As Melody utters her Troll-Death-Curse-of-Greater-Doom, Elor clutches his ears and drops to the ground, falling unconcious. In the gypsy camp.

Melody is more than happy to explain to everyone that if they should be attacked by a troll, in particular a red troll, they should try to Troll-Death-Curse-of-Greater-Doom. Those who don't run to get cover in time are then favored by a demonstration of a very long and very loud "AIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

A giant red troll appeared in Jiyyd, calling out the name of Peppy. It ignored everything in its way, even the townsfolk and headed west. Since it attacked no one, and seemed to be not dangerous, it was not killed on the spot. To be safe, Damian Colten and Steelfin followed the beast as far as the Nars Ridge. It called out Peppy's name repeatedly, even hollering it from the top of a hill. It then disappeared when a horde of Hobgoblins distracted the knights.
They spent the rest of the day searching for a sign of it, but since they have no experience in tracking, it was a rather futile attempt.

Lately, Genzir is sometimes seen standing on the road about ten yards inside the gate, watching it, waiting, and not really doing anything, just guarding. Those who approach him might notice, from time to time, a sad smile on his face. "The gate needs guarding. We have to be watchful. That's the Legion's job," he explains to those who inquire.
-
Some days after an apparant incident with a grenade in the inn, during a series of cage fights, Dentin delivers a new table and a set of chairs to the inn. He then leaves again before any questions can be asked, leaving Drudo in something of a confused state. Apparantly, Dentin burned the carpet.

Rumour has it two legionaires trying to catch and cook a certain very badly singing bird were assaulted recently by a paladin and had to be seperated by the full force of the town guard, thankfully things ended with a sizzle
-
Taria eagerly responds to the rumors that it was on public property, the pig had no identifying marks and was quite stronger than average so had a fair chance of being dangerous, and that if an owner had later claimed a pig to be missing then she would pay the cost of the pig without fuss.
After that she giggles.
-
Zach tries to find the authorities in down (or so it is said) he wishes to report an act of destruction of private property by the priestess Tairia on a pig in the commons despite it being pointed out to her it was not hers to destory.
-
The paladin of Sune, Caling, has further bad news to report regarding the marks of darkness.
It seems that some powerful demon may have been bound within the egg, or something. Despite the best efforts of Sir Shannon, Sabre, Genevieve and herself, the demon-thing escaped their attempts to destroy it and fled into the swampy night.
They plan an expedition to defeat it, better prepared to fight its skeleton and shadow minions.

Drow. That very word is whispered now in terrible rumors. One of the stories has it that a young tinkerer was assaulted twice by foul drow wizardry and when a group of adventurers went to investigate they found the roads overrun by spiders.
-
_Rumour also spreads of a group of Sails, including Genevieve, Sabre, the somewhat odd Taria and the man known as Hawk, along with the mage Yolanda and the Gondar priest Dentin, who went into the sewers to hunt for traps. They returned many hours later, looking quite worn and ill-tempered. There was a short gathering, wherein the priestesss Taria removed what would have been a strange curse of darkness upon Genevieve, which manifested itself as a black mark. Adding to that the talk of their encounter with a great many shadows, along with the altar that held a strange, obsidian, egg-like stone that seems to be capable of absorbing all energy directed at it, and quite impervious to attack.
The link between their adventure, and the current happenings surrounding Zoma seems almost impossible to deny._
-
The blond, golden-eyed elven linguist happens to share a more elaborate version of the shadows and the white-haired devil to all those interested. In his tellings of the story, there's also a man dying.
-
_Nathander is seen certainly agreeing.
Though no one is really sure as to what he is agreeing with._

Rumors spread quickly of a sacrificed mother and daugther found east of Jiyyd shortly after a large snow storm began by a group of adventures led by none other then PEPPY! and some other people… Though the bodies were taken away to the temple of helm to be tended by the acolytes and the circle itself was wiped away by a dispel, the snow continues to fall though not as hard as before. Talk of a white haired female mage and the diety known as censored due to town law are told in dark corners. It is generally agreed however that if not for Peppy.. the entire town may be blanketed under twenty feet of snow (that may or may not be agreed upon, depending on whether the rumor was being heard from a small hin mage in red and white robes).
-
_A commotion occurred right outside the smith shop, centering on a particular one eyed man with silver hair as well as a group of other adventurers present.
Suddenly, shadowy figures with red glowing eyes appeared from the ground and began a surprise attack on the group followed by tendril like hands appearing from the shadows on the ground to claim a life of a man nearby.
Rumours from the townfolks of Jiyyd believe that the cause of chaos originated from the one eyed man known to be as "Zoma" and his "Shadows".
Not much is known about the incident for no one dared to associate with the event when it happened and thus, it became a rumour._
