Tavern knowledge - post your rumours and gossip here

[oldgrayrogue]

*Rumors spread like wildfire through Rivermoot that the bard Ixazix was fathered by a drow, birthed by a drow mother, is married to a drow, is really a drow in disguise, is someway, somehow, somewhere a drow or drow sympathizer in some way shape or form. The rumor mongers, being mostly commoners and guardsman swear that the bard proclaimed these things openly as he strummed his lute just inside the bridge gate to several who were assembled there questioning him. Its no wonder they say, that the drow/man has horned devils in his service. A mob is sure to form before too long.*

((Actually all he said was that he belonged to a class of nobles in his homeland that has drow blood in its ancestral line forming a new drow mixed race, but you know how nervous surfacers get when it comes to anything to do with drow XD. All done IG in the presence of several PCs. Rumors derived from questions asked and comments made by Thoron during the discussion.))

After rumors of Dawn's illness several mornings in a row reaches Rivermoot, a mysterious figure is overheard offering an 800 gold coin bounty for Dawn and Xujja's demon-spawn child. Details are left open to whether this bounty will be paid if the child is birthed alive, or cut from her womb. The figure appears to have feminine qualities, but goes through great lengths to disguise his or her true appearance and identity.

"The whole building shook, storerooms to turrets. Lights...sounds.... You did not want to be there. Mistress Ostelle evacuated the entire half of the city, she did, on my mother's grave. And that's sayin' something when it comes to her, you know. Registrar Serapheena came through, screaming like a banshee and bloodied up the arms to the shoulders, as I live and breathe. Wanted a scroll of undead something or other and then ran straight away back up to the Masters and whatever infernal magicks they were up to up there....."

After the dwarf Garlus confused a Clergyman of Tempus in his Armor of the Foehammer for a brightly dressed bard they got into a fightoutside of the gates of Rivermoot. Witnesses claim the Priest fell to the Dwarf's axe handle after repeated attempts to call upon the Foehammer to win the fight for him.

The Crinti strode through the town with his famed teakwood lute in hand. As he strolled along he began to play. When he started it was for the guard and their Capt. that he sang…


The Lion of the guard took back his Pride
Cracking of whips are no longer feared
True the Hands servants did some deeds
But the price and punishment were too high
The good folk of the River now rest at ease
And the humble guard’s backs go un-flayed
The Lions roar chased out the Hands men
And the Lion Capt. got back his Pride

As the song came to a close the bard walked out of the town with a grin. He gave a deep bow to the men at their posts and headed down the road.

[Dorn]

The bell rang and armed men ran to the gate.

Jimmy the boatmakers son was overheard later gabbin to his friends that just after that 'sun man Nathan' and the big half orc woman ran in the gate, that he saw glowing 'bonemen' so close you could see them accross the other side of the river!

One of the guardswomen Elena was also overheard talking to a friend about that Nathan and Praetor Baron having an argument about getting out there and seeing to the menace....Praetor pulled rank and the gates remaind firmly shut.

The Hin known to a few as Tock was last seen heading into the hills north of Rivermoot. He wore no armour, but carried with him a sickle.

Strange happenings in Rivermoot as the seasons turn dark, so too do the rumors from the edges of the marches.


"The Tiefling of Rivermoot" as some have taken to calling him was seen to suddenly start glowing with an eerie blue light just a night past. The gray skinned man seemed possessed by the pulsing blue glow as he drifted wordlessly from town and off into the hills alone.

That night strange haunting winds were heard, from up high in the hills early on and recurring stronger as it got deeper into the night.

Just as a few folk were drawn to look skyward to find the source of the haunting winds, the earth shook causing the island of Rivermoot to quake for a worrysome handful of seconds. Shortly afterward everything settled into a silence that wasnt broken till morning.

One does not have to look far to find someone in Silverymoon who is able to confirm that Dawn Shiningeye is expecting.

Most of the clergy from Rhyester's Matins hesitate to comment on the matter, but it is clear to the observant that they are struggling with the situation. Some flatly refuse to acknowledge that the father of Dawnbringer Shiningeye's child is the tiefling Xujja, prefering instead to fall back on the rumor that she bears the child of some elven ranger fellow. Some decline comment and shake their heads sadly, while others are more than willing to comment on what a disappointment Dawn has turned out to be for the church. Regardless of their personal views, however, most of the faithful relate that she is being cared for at the Matins if for no other reason than out of a sense of duty to one of their own.

As for Dawn, she does not seem to be showing any obvious signs of pregnancy as of yet. However, she is eating more and has put on a little weight, which many argue she needed to do anyway.

Rumors fly about SIlverymoon after a House Invincible Court of Inquiry was surprisingly opened to public view.

Some say Watch Knights drew blade on one another.

Others say that a dark presence made itself known in the Helmite chapels.

Many say that a number of Watchers and other priests of Helm are to be hanged/flogged/ guillotined for acts of insubordination.

Upon hearing rumours of a reward for the child of Dawn Shiningeye, Nephos Vorn supposedly declared that anyone harming either the child or her parents would have their flesh slowly melted and their bones charred to ash by his hand.

[Kalandorm]

Word of Nephos' declaration spread far and wide. Many commoners who are ignorant enough to fear his words as gospel are surprised, when they hear that the ante on Dawn's child has been raised from 800 coins, to 1,000 coins. Anyone inquiring as to who has posted this bounty, has yet to make any head way to identify the poster.

A brown cloaked elven female is seen leaving the ladies college in a hurry.

The professor of abjuration yellng that destruction of classrooms during classtimes is strictly forbidden...and that proper reparations will be collected before any future courses may be taken..."LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL OF YOU IN ATTTENDANCE TODAY" she mutters as she stammers the halls to her sanctuary.


The Elf female was seen leaving the moorgate with near a half full pack and loose cloths.

After over a full cycle of Selune absent from Rivermoot, Rathalan Whitsword quietly entered the villlage just after dawn yesterday.

He was seen asking some of the guards on the presence of "his men" and telling militia to have any of the "Helmites" report to him at the Angler's tavern immediately.

The drunken sot of a wine-seller Galder of Rivermoot has been missing for over a tenday now..

In twelve years, Galder never missed a day of trade setting up his wine-stall in the Rivermoot forecourt like clockwork every morning regardless of weather, flood or stage of drunkeness..

Not the type to travel.. the absence is classed as odd by most in Rivermoot except Praetor Baron who's words were "The sot probably crawled off and drank himself to death.. sad but true.."

Militia patrols have not turned up any sign in the immediate area..
