Gypsy Gossip
-
_Cotton is seen asking around for Klaz or if anyone has heard from him. Her concern seems to grow at hearing he was last seen heading out before the Eastlander talks, but seems confused at all the other rumors.
Some speak of Klaz running off to start a Carni in Luskin, others say he went to harvest his crops of Pink Potatoes. While yet others have told of him returning to his Kingship in some far away land.
Through all this even more rumors are heard through out camp. Many speak of Drow now in the far South Pass who have been hunting those who enter. Odd rock slides and many quakes, some say darkness has been casted about during such oddities.
Clandra has also been spoken of, many swearing she was in camp with her half yuan-ti baby._
-
_The hearing eyes and watchful ears of the camp tell of Klaz and Arthos moving into the Nars just hours before the bandit meeting took place.
The white haired, pale faced fellow has not been seen since._
-
_Late one evening, after the hidden pass was rocked by tremors for days. Several of the known Gali return from the woods. Arandor, Cotton, Erok, Tarrick, Vine, Cike, and the Nars Skald Jerr… Not one of them unscathed... A few of them barely clinging to life.
Whispers around the campfires quickly spread. Many people say they bested armies of Drow, Spiders, and Lizardmen. Some people ask if it was the armies that bested them? Yet others seem to think there were no armies, they were most likely injured in a land slide...._
-
Klaz's loyalties are largely questioned. Most tell of him wearing mufti sort of colours. Some say that he would only hold gypsy colours on him. Others say to have seen him in direct uniform of purple and orange. The last tell that they were not aware Klaz wore clothes.

**OOC Quick Reminder Campers:
This thread is for rumors folks… not a diary thread. This thread is for things that get around camp... not your personal thoughts. We have Tales by the Fire for full story telling. This thread should be used for what the rest of the camp would find out through overhearing conversations and watching... not reading your mind.
Just try to imagine another Romani or Gali spreading the rumor you put in here. And you all know hos factual some rumors get when told from person to person... I expect exagerations and outright untruths in here as well. That should give you guidance on how to structure the post and what info would be given out.
Finally... I will be trying to eventually get Old Romani NPCs in game that will be updated regularly with the gossip that this thread provides. Although we'll see how often we can update those rumors.
Cheers - Kerbs.**

Cotton spreads the word through camp that she will not give herself over to the Eastlanders unless the King decrees it. That gali and the Romani need to come up with plans and fast. For she thinks the Eastlanders are truly going to have a surprise for us all at the months end and maybe even the rest of Narfell.
-
Raryldor sighs, and remains quiet for the most part, as earlier attempts at warning the gali and dealing with the problem at the base met with derision and scorn. He speaks quietly with Katya about it, keeping little outside counsel.
-
Edited out: Guess this wasn't the place for it.
-
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 :)))
