Re: Rumors and Hooks
North Gate guards early this morning report hearing the howls of what are thought to be multiple wolves. Some of the more experienced soldiers suggested that the howls were unnatural and he cautioned that worgs may be close by.
The Gate Lieutenant sent out a small contingent to make sure the road was clear. They found signs of an attack about a quarter-mile north of the gate. There was blood and prints of a large wolf and at least four humanoids. The three men sent to investigate estimated there were at least four of the large wolves that participated in the attack. They did not feel they could safely go further so they returned to give their report.
The Gate Lieutenant cannot spare additional men right now to look into it, but points interested parties out the north gate.

Re: Rumors and Hooks
Rumors of a bone golem attack in the Trades Ward near the City of the Dead. Five civilians were killed in the attack. The bone golem was brought down by two adventurers, according to a small boy living in the ward. This is the first report of such an attack in recent memory. The Blackstaff has announced that 2 of the City's 8 Walking Statues will be deployed in the Trades Ward to ensure minimal disruption to commerce.
Re: Rumors and Hooks
A pair from the Adventurer's Guild investigated the howls North of North Gate, and fought their way through several Worgs to find the gruesome seen of four dead....one corpse mutilated beyond recognition. Afterwards the pair took the time to search the surrounding areas before returning to make their report to the personal of North Gate.

Re: Rumors and Hooks
Rumor has it..
A clay golem was attacking vendors in the Castle Ward before it was brought down by the City Watch and a Walking Statue. A Closed Lord, presumed to be a gnome or a hin, has expressed public concern that the golem was built by insurrectionists from the colony of Maztapan. The government of New Waterdeep has publicly rejected this claim. Open Lord Piergeiron has assured the public that the Guard is looking into the evidence, and suggested Amnish involvement. He also expressed the need to stay vigilant until winter's end, and reiterated that the perpetrators behind the recent Spellfreeze still remained the greatest threat to the city and trade.

Re: Rumors and Hooks
Bannor has mentioned he overheard members of the Guards speaking of the Dragon Cult South of Waterdeep, which has regained some of its former strength. It is known that there have been several attacks along the road.. including against an Archmage of the Watchful Order. There is talk that the Cult somehow acquired a Dragon Egg some months ago, after they were hit hard by the Guild and the Company, they have been licking their wounds whilst incubating and protecting said egg ((this shall be represented as a DM loot note on the Dragon Commander)).
Re: Rumors and Hooks
The Waterdeep City Guard is looking for some help from adventurers who are willing to provide it.
A foot patrol along the Northern wall of the city felt a tremor late yesterday afternoon. They spied two horrid creatures emerging from the earth and digging about very near the wall. The watch Captain felt that the things may have posed a threat and he dispatched a patrol squad to investigate and run off the creatures.
While their wall patrol looked on from a distance, the squad engaged the creatures and were slaughtered. It seemed to the patrolmen that early in the battle, some of the squad turned on each other and helped the beasts do their work. None of the squad returned to report.
The North Watch Captain does not feel that their men are equipped for whatever these creatures are and are asking for help retrieving the bodies of their fallen and dealing with these creatures. They offer the sum of 1000 gold coins to whomever can accomplish this.
Encounter placed. Suitable for a party of 4-6th level.
