Camp Bon Fire Rumors and Stories
-
two field dressed deer are left near Johnathan's tent with a note by long time camp resident Sarah'linae. What she wrote is anyone's guess, but judging from the grumbling coming from the family's cave it has Tala in a mood. The old wives tongues wag saying it is about a boy. What else could cause mother and daughter to fight?
-
Shady seems to be in a particularly good mood of late, humming contentedly to herself, and greeting her customers with a smile
-
_Will spends an afternoon at the forge making a few small things, then packs up his tools and heads home just before dark.
Shortly after, he speaks briefly with Ther and leaves the camp afoot wearing dark-colored light clothing and a black cloak rather than his green and gold armor.
It is midmorning before he returns, heading directly home again._
-
Quietly and without much fuss, the tall blonde warrioress Ragnhild leaves the camp with a moderately sized pack strapped to her back, heading north and not returning. Her tent is neatly swept and tidied, all remaining belongings boxed up as if for prolonged storage and her weapons collection missing entirely. The bed however, is made with fresh sheets and soft furs, a small note fastened to the cover with a pin. On it, a stick-figure blonde hugs a far shorter brunette, what may be a large black cat sitting next to them. A heart-shaped red line encloses all figures, and though the drawing is quite lacking in artistry, the warmth of the message still shines through.

Celebring^

(edit: fixed

-
Jonathan simply smiles in the face of Celebring's anger
giving him a friendly pat on the backoops…. sorry honey. It's fixed. that's what I get for typig so fast!
-
Celebring approaches Johnathan as he's moving in, a few brief words are exchanged, Celebring seems angry.
-
Several of the older women fret and frown as they watch Jonathan whistling while he moves into Jonni's old tent
…..barely in the grave he is....
-
<g>Fark me. Do I look like I'm from Norwick?
A battered Benji spouts off a few more gnomish obscenities before stomping away from the locked gate.</g>

In the midst of the tragedy of Jonni's death, rumour on a small, but happier note has it that Lycka has given birth to two healthy, if somewhat prematurely born twin girls, Nica and Siri. Mother and babies are currently recovering at home, while Aelthas and Ragnhild fuss and fret over the three. What Jonni junior thinks of it all is harder to tell, as the blonde little boy still seems partial to smacking things with his toy sword, rather than utter complete and coherent sentences.
-
Cherry, when she is in Camp, can be seen with her own three rug rats in tow. Now ranging between 1 and 4 years old, they are more than a handful. She stays with her grandmother for the extra hand in looking after things.
hhowever, when Lycka returns, Cherry can often be seen over eithe rhelping look after Lycka or offering babysitting.
The lavender-haired girl seems rather on edge and watchful in the few moments she has to herself.
-
For several months now, familiar faces have once more been seen around the camp a lot more frequently, as Aelthas, Lycka and their little son have returned for what at first seemed an extended vacation. Camp gossips soon found out the real reason behind the stay however. Lycka's pale and weary face in combination with excessive fussing and protectiveness from both Ragnhild and Aelthas hinted at what later became apparant, as the young bard's belly once more started to bulge. This second pregnancy seems to have been a difficult one for Lycka, with both Jeni and a tribal healer often called upon, and Lycka herself remaining in bed for long periods. Wider even than her first time around, the time for birth can't be far off, and already Ragnhild and Aelthas can be seen pacing around in anxious waiting.
-
Though the words are kept low, Jonni is seen laughing heartily and clapping Celebring on the back before he and Jonathan stalk off to Jonni's tent.
A runner is seen shortly thereafter leaving the Camp headed south….. carrying a letter and nothing more
-
_A rider in dark grey storms into the camp one morning, shouting for Jonathan. He circles the heartfires until he spots him, moving in close enough so that only those nearby hear them speak.
Some recognize the rider as Celebring, unfamiliar at first due to the rough state he was in. Battered and bloody, cloak and uniform weather-beaten, and he is obviously worn out. Despite it all he is uninjured, though he seems angry.
The two men Jonni and Jonathan persuade the battered Elf to dismount and hitch his horse with the others, agreeing to speak with them privately._
-
Marty returns from her hunt for spider silk, taking a moment to clean off a thick layer of yellow spider guts and blood that drips from her body. Upon hearing the rumour about trouble in the pass…
“Oh Yeah, I just met a frost giant out there. Must have been a straggler. Don’t worry, I took care of him. Thought it was odd to see a frosty out this way. That’d explain it I guess.”
-
rumor goes though that a small group had came from the spider woods saying that they had killed duregar, frost gaints, bubears and some humans that seem to be working for the duregar in the hidden pass near the chain that leads to the rawlins
-
_Camp residents might have noted a particularily large group of adventurers heading down into the cold caves, lead by the well known priestess of Chauntea, Telli Thunden. Amidsts the disparate group, a smaller party of black and gold-attired men and women could be spotted, apparantly having been hired to assist in what is said to have been a recovery operation for a lost sword.
The group emerged from the caves days later, sporting various bruises and frostbites and without the sword in question. Some might mention duergar, undead and ghostly spiders having put obstacles in their path, while others merely gripe about the endless walk through the icy corridors far below. The party soon breaks up, leaving only a dark-haired woman in black velvet at the heartfires, fast asleep against a treetrunk._

When Cherry is seen about Camp these troublesome days, she is hardly in true fighting form. She no longer has to waddle around, but she has one toddler girl and twin infant boys in toy. A handful fora mother even if the babies are elven..it does not make them make less of a stink and need less diapers changed, they often require less rest than their mother does, they make just as much noise when they cry their lungs out in the middle of the night, etc.
The lavender haired woman is usually in some disheveled state an d is very grateful for any help her grandmother, Cera provides with babysitting. Cherry also makes liberal use of the spells, Mage Hand, Prestidigitation and Ghost Sound among a few to clean up tend to or just entertain her three children. Often remmmmarking how she wishes a spell would do this or that..like Tenser's Floating Baby Stroller or…Cherry's Diaper Change. Then again she comments being married to an archmage must have some side benefits. He should research some of these spells for her.
Most of these comments are often muttered under her breath.
