…At night this seems tossed off though, with the young Romani asking many questions of the Gali, everything from beliefs to fighting styles to home history, while the old Romani seem particularly fond of seeking a game of cards or bones, even dice now and then with almost any Gali they find.
_Often times, during the night, Gali Elder Arandor can be found sharing a drink or two with the younger Rom. He seems eager to share his beliefs and fighting style, although his home history is left somewhat vague… He tells any who press him that his hometown is the village of 'Triboar' and that he worked as a scout for the Militia there. Spending most of his days roaming the Savage Frontier to keep a watch on the Orc hordes that constantly poured down from the Northern mountains...
He tells 'slightly' exaggerated stories of some of his exploits throughout Narfell when his tongue is loosened from the drink. Snippets of the conversation can be heard...
"… punched in the chest by a war machine, nearly caved in my rib cage, sent me flying one hundred and fifty-six feet through the air, right off Sam's hill...."
"...swung his axe at me and lodged it in a thick tree half-way, my shield was already shattered and my arm broken... took my chance to get the hells out.."
"...That's when the Red Dragon Rass parted the clouds and crashed down from above, renting thee ground before me... I'll never forget how badly her fires burned..."_

…Only thing the proud archer seems to find interesting besides hunting and roaming the forests are any information concerning the Drow and finding a master, preferably elven, to teach her the basics of the weave.
Some of the Gali and younger Romani might mention the name of an Elven Arcanist who has recently become known around the camp, making a home for himself there. They say his name is 'Celebring' and that he is a mage of some skill, word is he was recently made Headmaster of Spellweaver Keep and could probably help teach the Elven woman if she were to seek him out…

_An untidy and tattooed red-haired elf woman seems to have taken residence in the camp. She is mostly unsociable and never smiles, but from the beginning she's seen to do her part for the welfare of the camp by bringing freshly hunted meat daily to the fires.
Some older members of the community might remember this wild elven lass called Sinu'selira, but she's been away so long that even they might have forgotten.

_Various rumors and observations:
The spiders seem to have been pushed farther back into their holes by the contest efforts of adventurers, rarely showing near the camp at all anymore. With the lack of natural predators, wildlife has sprung up in the woodlands, just a few at first, but growin quickly as they flee the hobgoblins who have now overtaken the pass.
Even odder then the occasional lights, noises, and calm chiding of try again that have been plaguing the Hidden Pass, one young Romani swears he came across an open portal glowing. He approached it cautiously, before being startled and turning at hearing a child's voice saying, "Oops, I left one open.." When he turned back to the portal it was gone. Many chalk this up to a night of drinking, but others have been heard to comment that the strange rumblings they have been hearing can not be good for the nearby caves.
In the old camp style of extended family everyone who is able, both Romani and Gali have been given chores to help the camp out, and are expected to do so each day ((RP it, if you can't think of something useful PM me and I can supply)) though the evenings are given to themselves and often full of drinking and song, followed by the occasional spontaneous dance. New Romani are wandering into camp now and then, and some of the Romani are leaving. Oddly, most of those who pack up and leave are older, with the young Romani seeming to stay around longer. This same age split seems to show in other ways as well, with the younger Romani working beside the Gali during their chores easily and passing time in talk, while the older Romani seem stand offish, and usually work alongside only other Romani in true camraderie. At night this seems tossed off though, with the young Romani asking many questions of the Gali, everything from beliefs to fighting styles to home history, while the old Romani seem particularly fond of seeking a game of cards or bones, even dice now and then with almost any Gali they find.
Guards are set to watch the vine grown cliffside near the gnolls by Jonni. No trouble has come of it so far, and no one has been stopped. When asked Jonni replies it is just for safety. Jonni has been seen avoiding almost all of the Romani in favor of spending time with his sister Jenni and Cera in Cera's tree. More often then not he is seen tending his chores quietly and without much help._
-
A familiar halfling teapot visiting the camp was seen chatting with Jeni and Cera. Rumour quickly spreads that there will soon be a festival in the Silver Valley, and that all are welcome to come for contests of skill, prizes, and delicious food and drink. Any merchants and entertainers are, or course, also welcome.
((Festival in the valley is this Saturday. More details to come.))
-
malina is rarely seen in the camp anymore if not with caldor.. often when he leaves on his buisness ventures she travels with him her sword at the ready
-
Following a talk with Jeni and Cera in their tree, Mecizq emerges from the tree to make a short speech, though looking uncomfortable at having to talk in public like this.
"Most of you here know me in one way or another, we have all had our ups and downs in life, some such as my recent problems, worse than others, but we are all here now, and can place all that behind us now, and move on.
To that end I have offered to Hallow what grounds of the camp have not allready been hallowed, including the old gathering circle to Mystra, to renew the ties of the Rom and this land to Mystra from on old.
In order to do this, I will be requiring a large quantity of holy water, equivilent to roughly six score and then a few of holy water flasks, and I would ask for those of you who are able to put towards this task, even if it be only one holy water flask. Every flask counts."
//Either catch me IG to make a donation of a holy water flask or you can probably donate them straight to LD also, easier to housekeep through me though.

_A few of the gali remark on Jonni getting into the occasional arguments with some of the Romani that have returned. Though nothing is ever said loud enough or close enough for a non-rom to hear, the occasional raised voice leads to the suspicion that Jonni is doing something that the Romani true bloods do not care highly for.
Jenni and Cera do not seem to have the same arguments, and if anything seem mostly to hope that Jonni can just get along with everyone and that the matter gets dropped._
During one of these spats, a large shadow stops and watches, listening intently. A branch snaps, something pops, and with only the passing of light footsteps, something leaves again
((Lilin is a stalker! Wee!))
-
Tala can be seen sitting by the inner fires on occasion deeply unaware on occasion of those around her and often asking others to keep an eye out for her if she seems to slip off into a daze.
-
_Caldor is seen more and more around the camp with Malina. Some say he is has move to the camp. It is also said he no longer cares for adventure.
He is heard to say "Scouting is a highly dangerous and thankless task. I will not die for the ungreatful or greedy again."
He is often seen making bows and tanning._

-
A group of adventurers left for the cold caves with two known Gali in the camp: Lilin and Wolf. They were gone for about a day and a half, then they all finally returned. They all made it out safe, though they all looked "incredibly" exausted. Some of them may have mumbled things about "drow" and "ogres."
-
Mecizq can be seen working around the inner camps meeting glade, having been let in on some project.
-
Rumours and stories tell of a massive army of extremely powerful hobgoblins overrunning the Nars pass. A handful of brave defenders managed to keep the first wave of these hobgoblins with unforeseen powers at bay but the second wave was just too much. At least four of the valiant heroes are said to have been cut down by the massive axes, huge ice storms and continuous lightning bolts of the highly trained hobgoblins. No one seems to know where these armies came from and who trained and equipped them.
-
_Dentin listens to Star's explanation, then considering the matter for a long moment.
"Hm. Yes, I see. Very well, thank you."He then leaves the camp for the time being, apparantly satisfied with the answer._
-
Star explains in stammered common that the facilities are open to all who have friends amongst the Rom and Gali. That there is no bar to using the facilities as long as you are accompanied by an Oathsworn willing to take you in and be with you there.
-
Hearing of the new crafting facilities, Dentin visits the camp. However, after learning that the facilities are locked behind the inner camp walls, he goes to find an Elder for an explanation.
-
Late at night the occasional loud bang is heard out in the Spider Pass, sometimes followed by a slight shaking feeling to the ground. Some have made comments of odd lights being seen. Every now and then a voice or two can be heard on the wind…. usually along the lines of.. "oops" followed by "try again"
-
_Occasionally, the very bare leftovers of a deer can be found in the spiderwoods, ate by something very big.
The speculation tends to be spiders_
-
Mecizq, long missing in corporeal form, though seen visiting the camp each day of the dead as a spirit can be seen walking into talk to Cera and Jenni about something.
-
_Elor just mumbles something vague, and sets to making another fort with the pillows, without the notice. He then sits in his creation for a few hours, guarding it against everyone who would try to overtake Camp Elor…
After a few hours, he simply gets bored, and breaks down the fort himself, spreading the pillows around the room randomly, resembling a night sky of pillowy stars._
