DM Rumors of the Sword Coast

[DM Spartacus]

the Brawl at Boareskyr Bridge

Rumours persist of a recent event at the bridge. With not a paladin or Undead in sight two figures approached the bridge from either end. A Dwarf Dunhelm and from the other side an Orc Virghag the violent. Both in unison grunted and crouched shield up, missile to hand. Ancient enmity and current rage prevailed and without another word magical weapons were hurled before melee weapons drawn both charged. Two mighty foes clashed in a whirlwind of metal. Hack and slash they danced till both bloodied, broken and bruised paused for breath all but fought to a standstill.

At this point there was a magical disclosure and there appeared in plain sight an Imperial Imp, Ric Yhondbe who had been watching the fight. He declared a draw, not that either protagonist agreed. "I set you a challenge both. Gather your clan, your kin, empower your friends but do this. Gather my spears I hold here." He held aloft a magical quiver of 100 spears and before either could react Imps fluttered through a portal gathering a spear eachbefore vanishing again. On and on until 100 spears were gone. "They will scatter them far and wide over the next fourteen days in the Northern Region - find them bring me the most, to prove your worth. To the victor the bragging rights! first and foremost for their kin and clan. But also my treasure map!" He held aloft an old map, and quickly hid it again. "To a worthy second *shrugs* a prize. Go empower your kin get them working or forever hold your tongue!"

Both still on their knees looked a moment, brains slowly turning. They accepted the challenge, as one, they turned back the way the came shouting for kin and bragging rights!"

//spears will be dropped by the imps over the next two weeks - starting Sunday to be found in the Northern region. Dwarves, Orcs, and their friends are encouraged to get involved. Something for a rainy day!

[DM Spartacus]

The Imps are at play. (as per above) They have started dropping spears in game to be found in the Northern Region - wherever there creative minds consider sneaky. Of Orc and Dwarf there is little sight.

Where have all the heroes gone!

[DM Spartacus]

Dunhelm the Dwarf was seen around Soubar braggin' a little early at some of his kin recovering spears in the Northern Region. Solving riddles and finding treasures like back in the old days he says. Aye it's a long way to go yet but seems to me Dwarves, and those supportin' them will soon be back on the map. Treasure aplenty to go round and a mighty prize at the end if we keep working.

Now as for Orcs or any other parties not wanting to listen to Dwarves bragging all year. Hardly a sight. Get busy searching or buy some ear plugs for the days ahead.

//13 Imp spears have been put in play so far. Hidden in places sneaky Imps might put them for keen eyed clue solvers to find.

The Dwarves or their friends have one or two recovered. Some other loot besides has been found. The Imps will continue to drop them in the Northern Region and surrounds which will be announced with some dubious IG clues. Running till spear 100 drops or 51 claimed by any faction.

Get involved if you hear the clue dropped IG get hunting or grab a party and get hunting even better. If not you will have to listen to the bragging all year!

the Brawl at Boareskyr Bridge

A Dwarf Dunhelm, a survivor of the brawl, and burdened with injury, rests up at Soubar. He calls for his clan and kin and folks with a mind to support the Dwarves in this to gather at the Inn there so they can drink of ale, boast of deed, andcount spears held,sought and owned outright. So there can be due consideration given to gathering more as is rightfully Dwarven.

provisionally Sunday 18th GMT around 8pm GMT


and from the other side an Orc Virghag the violent also survived, ill and sore but unwilling to admit it, has called a meeting of anyone with spears to be put in the hands of grateful Orcs. With the shouting, feasting and legend making, there can be a counting to see how many more might be needed for final victory for the great cause.

provisionally Sunday 18th around 10 pm GMT

//If people have spears and want to get them to these meeting or have them counted or considered and cannot make it. Pass them on to those that can or PM with your instruction thanks.

The collecting will likely continue after the meeting with IG events

[DM Spartacus]

5 spears in play

Imp singing on the bridge ...

5 special spears,
4 above Ground,
3 under water
2 guarded treasures.
and one spear in a spirited lair!

[DM Soulcatcher]

The treacherous wildlands are even more unfriendly as of late. Stray wanderers and simple folk that take a stroll outside of civilisation are missing. Whispers around taverns suggest many possible reasons, from wild animals and kobolds, to orcs and cultists. Though one possible suspect of the disappearences of random folk is most often repeated. Evil spirits of nature, Dark Fey.

And while the talks continue, patrons drink ale at warm fire and adventurers share their tales...

Another soul loses its life at the dead of winter night.
