Gypsy Gossip
-
Mohave has been directing a group of camp members to clear the rockslide on the south wall of the Camp from the latest tremor that have rocked the Gypsy Camp. Those travelling into and out of the Camp into the Nars Pass had briefly heard the bellows and roars of a huge beast… and rockslides followed near Rass's cave.
-
Tarrick can be seen most often sitting at one of the large bon fires in the camp, examining a small stone that seems to pulsate with energy. He has been asking various people if they know the whereabouts of any Duergar.
-
Word begins to spread that the gypsy bard, Penny Lane, is looking for anyone who knows anything about the history of the red dragon, Rass. She is apparently looking for any and all information, from how old the dragon might be to any stories about Rass's actions over the years. People who know her well say that she is beginning to write an epic poem/song about the life and history of Rass. Word also spreads that she can be found most days at the Romani Camp, and would welcome anyone who wishes to contribute information over a glass of wine or ale.
-
Murmurs around camp spread that Sy has set up a meeting with those who hunt Cotton. Herself and a small group will attend this so called meet within a day or so.
-
Callain, when not found drinking around the fire after dusk, seems to have taken the company of the Rom guards during their practices to try and improve his bowmanship. It was suggested that he'd rather earn the right to wear Gypsie leathers, than be offered them.
-
_Known through out the camp recently, is that a bounty has been put on Cotton's head. She does not know by whom, but most can be sure it's the Eastlanders.
While sitting at the fire talking she was attacked by a man in armor and helmed, who almost killed her before the others around the fire leaped up for the rescue.
She is seen now always sneaking through the Nars, either helmed or under the cowl of a cloak. When in camp she is always weary and keeping a constant eye out for her safety._
-
_It's now well known that the eastlanders are out for Cotton's head. After she tried saving Klaz out by the bridge in the Nars against a Officer and Envoker. Ever sence they have been coming into camp or setting up blockades in hopes of catching her. Her attept at saving Klaz failed and he died at the hands of the attackers.
Cotton has also been seen asking those in camp if they know of any mage who can return her to being an Elf once again. She seems depressed when the subject is brought up, but determined all the same to find a way back to her true self._
-
Sitting in front of the campfire, Syrano places a hand on the ground. Then an ear. The vibrations of the small quakes could barely be felt, but he could hear them through the solid ground loud and clear. He look around, not particularly at anything, take in a deep breath, and again he listens. Silence.
"What was that?", he says, while looking cautiously in different directions.
-
A series of small earth tremors and lockslides have hit the canyons around the Gypsy Camp. Luckily no one has been hurt yet… but the King has let his people know to avoid venturing too close to the cliff walls until the situation can be figured out. Everything from giants in the mountains, to druids working on something, to the ogre mages of the caves doing evil magics, to the ghosts that are haunting the hidden pass have been attributed.
-
_Rumours spreads around the camp that the druids are calling great earth magics in their glenn. Tales of strange beasts entering and not leaving abound.
Word of pits appearing and dissappearing as the earth shifts sparks speculation as to what is occuring._
-
Nate hears the rumour as he bites down on an apple, sitting near Kaona's seat at the fires. He swallows the bite and says casually with half-open eyes…
"Maniacs. The both of them. Tarrick calls me crazy for ignoring a mage's warning from two years ago, then he goes off to have tea with Rass. Brilliant, just brilliant."
Chuckles and takes another bite from his apple, anxious to have a conversation with Tarrick next time they meet.
-
_Word spreads quickly through the camp that the pink-haired Gali, Penny Lane, along with one Tarrick Dotson, set off to meet and converse with the Red Dragon, Rass, as Gali and Gaje alike watched on, dumbfounded. Each seemed to have their own reason for the trip: Tarrick to become a servant to Rass, as his god had demanded. Penny, driven by intense curiosity to speak with Rass, with the hopes that Rass might shed some light on what Penny might expect as she embraces her own dragon blood. Worried for their safety and, quite frankly, doubting their sanity, several individuals, including Cotton, Klaz, Lilly, and Raryldor, persued them into Rass' cave.
It appears that everyone returned alive and well, as Penny and Tarrick could be seen the next morning openly discussing a return trip. They admit that Rass did not reply to them as they spoke to her in her tongue, but they both cite their survival as testament to the fact that they may have made progress in the encounter._
((If a DM would be interested in possessing Rass for a future encounter, be that for the benefit or detriment of our characters, that would be awesome :)))

_Arise and show
Which way to goThe, one held last
With in the hidden passAshkali his name
As says the chant of Divination echoing from the ritual circle. To find, we must grind.
Holding the two tomes, hand in hand. Klaz, Sy, Jirka and Cotton all seem to be rather shaken._
-
the usually happy and friendly tala seems to give Belade the cold shoulder. when asked why she mumbles something about folks taking without giving back and hurting her friends.
-
Hearing of the Shadow, Magpie chatters around the fires, pale eyes drifting restlessly about
Ooh! Shadows are dead nasty… best to hunt them by daylight they always said, otherwise they slope off and disappear too easy. Nasty shivery things. Nothing a lot of bows or magic couldn't take down though, eventually. I'd much rather keep my distance from them. Hey, did it say anything? Why's it here? O'course if it said anything it 's a lot more worrying than a shadow... could be a wraith even. You get a lot of trouble round here from dead things?
-
A paladin has moved into camp, going by the name of Belade Galadon. Upon arrival, she took the time to get to know most of the gypsies, especially the children and women. She also informed everyone that if they needed help, they merely had to ask her and she would be happy to be of assistance.
-
Sy'wyn is seen staggering back into the camp from the Spider Woods, badly bleeding, his cloak torn, and carrying a dead full blood Romani in his arms. He headed straight to Katya's tree with the body, followed closesly by Cotton and the merchant Nico Black. Tale is swiftly spread of how the Romani died bravely attempting to keep a large undead shadow from passing the gates of the woods into the camp. Sy'wyn was apparently beaten in the same fight, though he often includes that the shades demands were unreasonable….

::Romani commoner sees the note posted and after reading it, tears it down::
If a Romani or Gali wishes to make amends then do so face to face. Seek out those you offended and stand up for your actions.
::he crumbles the note and tosses it in the fire::
-
a note on the shack is posted:
"This is my formal apology to any and all Crafter's Union memebers who may have been offended by my words on our last encounter.
As I promised I would apologise If I ever saw one of its member's take care of the driad tree evn if it was once. Recently I have indeed seen one of its members head there and water the tree's roots. And as I promised here is my most sincere aplogy to your community"
Signed: Yeveath

::anyone who speaks to Katya about the books or the scroll receive a short and to the point answer to not question her in regards to these items. The King and elders of the Romani are deciding on what to do next and until that decision is made nothing can be gained when asking any of the elders or the king::
