First Mate Grim and the hooded Quartermaster of the Hellstorm were seen recruiting again at the Broken Goblet.
The crew by the trips of their ship boats these past days seem to spend extensively to restock and refurnish the Sea Wolf.

Grim were rumouredly seen talking to the priestess of Umberlee the other night prior to leading her to the captain's rooms of said establishment. Hours later a staggering priestess strode out of the door, Grim following with a crewmember shortly after in somewhat the same worn if cheery appearance.

Some swear a furry behemot and a dodgy lass of fancy pokers already signed up to try their luck at blood and steel for coin on the high seas and beyond.

Many black owls make their way through many parts of the realm. . . Soaring through the sky with precision and grace the black owls would travel far and wide. . . Tied to their right legs would be a letter laced in a fine white silk and careful place onto them with care. . . The owls would likely see to it their jobs are done making good attempt to dropping off the letters to their desired destination with haste. . . To those who would spot the owls they would notice that owls are heavily warded with defensive magic. . . some more heavily then others. . .

A letter is dropped off in many area's of the realm. . . hidden away in mountains peaks and dark caves. . . Other placed at the outer gates of cities and strongholds. . .

Within the letter reads:

_______________________________________________________________________
Destruction. . .

Disease. . .

Famine. . .

Fear. . .

Savagery. . .

Shadows. . .

Storms. . .

Death. . .

All of these words . . . All of these meanings. . . All of these dogmas. . . Shunned, Overlooked, Cast away, Forgotten. . . Challenged. . .

The time has come brothers and sisters, like-minded in the production of struggles in this world. . . Far to long have the lesser gods who draw up weak-willed paladin and guardians of these lands had their way and gather their power through those who grow faith and lose fear in the chaos that shrouds the brim crust of this plane. . .

Many of them young and old walk these roads with bright smiles and full belly's. . . Their minds cascaded by the lies that those of the holy order bring in spreading their preached words of safety . . . peace. . . prosperity. . . They grow bold and with little concern as they believe that Illmater will absorb the suffering that is bound to their shoulders. . .

They seek to the sun. . . the morning. . . for everyday they wake their minds awaken. . . And in this they look to the next morning instead of the obstetrical trials of the day ahead of them. . .

They set out in this world. . . Adventurers. . . Merchants. . . Kings. . . and Heros. . . And gather their forces. . . swords in hand. . . and gold in pouch. . . Dungeoneering. . . Exhibitioning. . . Extinguishing. . . They do this with no aptitude, care or fear of what awaits them around every corner of their lives. . .

This has gone on long enough. . .

The moisture in the air grows thick brother and sisters. . . A mighty storm is coming and with it the waves of Umberlee shall crash upon the shores. . . Destruction shall become apparent as the storms might will soon come into play and with it Fear and Famine will set in. . . Desperation will be called upon and Survival of the Fittest will be the new law of the lands. . . Only the strong will prevail and those who are weak will look upon the strong for their forgiveness. . . It is almost. . . Misfortune-ant that lives will be taken. . . Death will be missed. . . Family torn and sold for those who wish a small coin to survive the next day's suffering. . . Lies spread in hatred of those who brought this upon those who lived happy and carefree lives. . .

The Time has come brother and sisters of the faith. . . The prophecy is soon to become in view of the foresight of the wise shaman of the lands. . . The light of the sun and darkness of the moon will collided into heated rivalry. . . And in this the shadows will begin their attempt of escape. . .

A meeting will soon take place. . . Those who endure the words of this letter will know where to go. . . Follow the storms they will guide your path. . .

** At the bottom of the page the symbols of many gods are placed in a pyramid line up. . . as if the arrangement of them was a signature along the bottom **

Bane. . .

Lolth . . .

Shar. . .

Tempus. . .

On the platform at the edge where steep rocks meet ever-moving wild dark-green waters, not far from the Roaringshore harbor few barely dressed females performed wild ritual. They touched each other, screamt towards the sea their wild invocations, whispered, spitted. The dark gray smoke covered their bodies and like stream of water, went down, covering steep rocks, where it met sea surface.

Unnaturally big black owl sat on the big boulder close to the ritual's site and looked at dancing females with it's never blinking eyes.

As wall, like menacing current, five water elementals were encircling the site as silent, ever loyal guards to one, who led this divination. She whispered and moaned in Illuskan Northmen dialect her prayers. In her callings she addressed the Wicked Fury - The Bitch Queen.

She stepped close to the abruptly-ending rock's edge, and stood above the wild waters. She exhaled exclamation, which was amplified by evil spirits that were making her voice even more menacing:

"No more not worthy of Living will live in peace behind their walls, holding their riches. The Era of Survival is emerging, and one who is stronger and wilder will be victorious. Let the primordial things overcome things of fallacy and weakness. Let the strong kin of will and passion slaughter ones who is ignorant. Let the feast begin! Let the Storms emerge! Let the dance start! Let the beasts tear! O Queen, O Furies, see my deeds! my devotion, as with your bless your faithful will bring your plane essence upon this land!

Spirits of Fury which are bound to my will or hearing my voice, carry the world of the blessing of the new day to come, and my dedication to set things in motion, to help the Council to hold it's advance! "


She turned towards other females and ordered: "Carry the word to the loyal freemen, they are one who will gain from this a lot and could be useful, powerful ally. They will rejoice by what they could and will gain. Start preparations. Our procession will depart in few days."

A red wizard and his bodyguard were involved in the latest brawl in the local bar. Color gang politics seemed to have been muddied, lines blurred, and negotiations broken down. The local flavor was chaotic, and their intentions questionable.

A dark cloaked and hooded woman pauses by one of the posters. A smirk forms beneath her hood as she pulls it down, then folds it and tucks it into her satchel before heading to the caravan master, and catching a ride North.

A few days ago a moderate sized adventuring party, heaviheavily armed, was seen moving through the outskirts of Roaringshore. The group left town along the beach and was gone for several hours.

After this time, several explosions were heard. It would appear that there was an attempt to collapse a cave entrance not too far from town. While the cave itself wasn't completely collapsed, the entrance was indeed heavily damaged. Whatever structure or area inside the cave was also heavily damaged by the explosives. Its likely whatever the cave was being used for is no longer viable.

There was also a head stuck in a like on the path towards this cave from town. It strongly resembled a male drow drive but was... a plant.

After the explosions, the adventurers left town quickly and without incident.

The Broken Goblet has seen the likes of a dark skinned man, with a turban for the past few weeks. He often keeps to himself, but has expressed his need for work. Claiming to have experience on a mercantile ship, it is clear he would prefer to work at sea, though he has boasted he can track anything, or anyone down.

Often seen talking with the ship crews down at the docks, the man has yet to find one to take him in. Instead he settles for cleaning the scum off the sides of ships, repairing damaged hulls, and fashioning nets for the locals.

When he is not nearly begging to join a crew, the man can be seen fishing off shore in a small, recently repaired raft. He sells his fresh, cooked, and smoked fish to the locals and seafarers down at the docks.

His nights are mostly spent at the Swordarm Inn, though he will often barter for passage to Baldur's Gate before returning many a day afterward.

It was late in the evening, the sun setting in it's endless chase of the pale moon, when a small bundle of flotsam was pushed from the weathered docks of the Roaringshore. Fleeting in it's drift below the blood-soaked skies of the oncoming eve, the sea-bound memorial - no bigger than the average dinner plate, rife with several gemstone - burst into flame; a single spiral of smoke connecting sea to sky until it was visible no longer. What it might mean, or whom it was for, was anyone's guess.

Early morning rays had only just kissed the Roaringshore sands when the empty dock was met with landfall from the bay anchored brigantine, the Seawolf, in form of cargo-laden longboat. The ship's hulking Boatswain and deckhand of half-elven descent spent limited time on the boardwalk (amidst the bellowed shanty of scarf-wearing half orc) before parting ways via both longboat and caravan.

Upon hearing rumour of a Thayan made bounty on members of the Hellstorm Crew in the Broken Goblet it is told the First Mate Grim rose to exclaim a counter bounty on lockets of hair from thayans at 50 coins per locket, no questions asked about how the lockets were taken nor from what part of body.

A horrific new sight greets arrivals on the docks of Roaringshore. There, raised upon stake forced vertically through remains, is the bloodied corpse of a headless male. Amidst the swarm of flies that seem to have congregated, nothing of value remains on his person; stripped down to naught but the tattered shreds of his clothing. Upon his chest, secured with a large nail through the man's sternum, written declaration states on driftwood: "I threatened a member of the Hellstorm Crew".

A cloaked man has been seen walking the streets and docks of Roaringshore. He does not talk to anyone, and only greet locals with an unnervingly charming smile.

Some say the Right Hand of the Devil has returned from his years of exile and is awaiting the return of the Seawolf and its captain.
