Re: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate
News of tournaments, strange petals floating down river, and a rare excursion by the Siren's Song, thought by many previously to be unseaworthy did not escape Shalukhe Silverhand, once of the Moonshae. But these things did not preoccupy the self professed puzzle solver. No she had bigger stew to share. A chef had gone missing and rabbit stew was off the menu. She was spotted calling on one Sergeant Peters of the Flaming Fist who has been put in charge of the investigation.

As part of her etiquette training, the rambunctious elf maiden many know as Jordan, would receive a list of naughty words from Lady Netanya that she is to cease uttering in polite (or even impolite) company. The list would included the following words:

A Flyer from the Temple of Torm
=Looking for Adventurers=
The following flyer can be seen on the bulletin board in Baldur's Gate, bearing a Tormtar symbol.
Looking for Adventurers
I am looking for adventurers to join me in regular expeditions in the region around Baldur's Gate.
Orcs, giants, undead... uncountable threats surround us, and the fight to keep such threats at bay knows no end.
I seek to venture into caves, keeps and dens where such threats grow, but I cannot do it on my own.
I am looking for adventurers, guardians, warriors, arcanists and clerics.
All who desire to fight such threats shall be welcome.
Our expeditions will start moving from the Eastern Gate.

OOC DISCLAIMER: This is meant to gather all sorts of people for RP dungeon runs, feel free to poke me ingame if you want to gather up and go do some dungeon delving. The idea is to give an RP context and reason for some group fun and inclusivity for many characters. I am usually around from 8pm GMT+1.

Double elimination (you have to lose twice)
6 wards allowed per fight.
Shapeshift, Bardic inspiration, and Stealth (unlimited use) all count as 1 ward of the 6.
Please don't shapeshift and use Enlarge, we only have so much space.

Wards that run out may be refreshed during the fight as long as they are the same ward.
No offensive magics, this is for weapon fighting. And this way none of the spectators get blown up.

Re: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate
Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
Let it be known that the Midsummer Faire sponsored by the Tymora Church came to a close with a small tournament in the Northern Farmlands officiated by the Bladestone Foundation. The three participants were:
Doan Mardain, a good dwarf to have in a pinch
Hans Pebbleskip, the irrepressible dancing dwarf
Bael'thar, who's got a really big sword
The double elimination tournament ended with Doan taking first place, followed by Bael, and then Hans. This is not to say, however, that it was an easy win or placement for any of them Many of the matches were close, some razor-thin close, much to the delight of spectators.
All participants showed good manners, good attitudes, honorable actions, and great skill. Doan was awarded 50,000 coin from the Tymora Church for first place.
Bael received a purse of 25,000 from the Bladestone Foundation, and Hans received 10,000 from the Bladestone.
All Hail the valiant fighters!

Re: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate
An odd, lanky elf can be seen wandering about to various offices in and around the palace district. It would seem he's rather fixated on more recent property purchases made in and around the city in the past several months. It's hard to say what he's after exactly, but whatever it is, he seems pretty determined to find it.

Re: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate
A peculiar duo wandered into the Eastern Farmlands today: A redheaded human girl, and a grey-skinned blonde tiefling with large horns and dark mithral armor. The tiefling seemed to struggle in the daylight, and had to be led half-blind into the Blade and Stars inn by her companion.
The whole time, they both seemed thoroughly out of their element, with the human remaining in constant awe and good spirits until they retired to a room at the inn.

Re: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate
Chaos ensued yesterday, when a member of the City Watch attempted to arrest the tiefling - no longer in her armor - for displaying an axe just short of Wyrm's Crossing. Before their arrest, the redhead tried to talk her friend down, only to find herself caught in a three-way brawl as she struggled to make sure no one got hurt.DaloLorn wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 3:32 pm A peculiar duo wandered into the Eastern Farmlands today: A redheaded human girl, and a grey-skinned blonde tiefling with large horns and dark mithral armor. The tiefling seemed to struggle in the daylight, and had to be led half-blind into the Blade and Stars inn by her companion.
The whole time, they both seemed thoroughly out of their element, with the human remaining in constant awe and good spirits until they retired to a room at the inn.
The duo appeared to have been released some time afterwards, with the tiefling's personality becoming noticeably more restrained, cautious, and even submissive at times. Visitors to the Ilmatari temple might have subsequently overheard them talking to an assortment of knights, priests, and monks of Candlekeep about split personalities, memory loss, and wandering out of the Underdark with no idea where they were anymore. A peculiar story, indeed.
After leaving the temple, the tiefling inquired around the Farmlands for the location of a brothel, justifying it to the flustered redhead with a remark about their having the best baths. However, after a brief negotiation with Blunt, the duo instead wandered east along the Chionthar. When they returned much later in the day, they did so in a staggered, uncoordinated manner, with their hair still waterlogged after whatever adventures they embarked upon. Given that their clothes were nowhere near as wet as they were, one could surmise that the strange newcomers were somehow able to take care of their bathing problem at some point during their travels.
The human returned to the city first; when the tiefling came back, she was accompanied by a second tiefling, a reddish-hued man in fancier - and drier - clothing. Ultimately, both women eventually returned to their room at the Blade and Stars.

Re: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate
Fliers pop up throughout the city.
I, Heartwarder Alyssia Leonhart, High Lady of the Halls of Inner Light, invite those of curious minds and wandering hearts of the Gate and the Sword Coast to come to a educational litany on the Dogma of the Princess of Passion. It will be a deep dive into the faith and duties of Sunites, what Lady Firehair asks of us, and what we can provide to the city though our faith and dedication to Lady Firehair. All those welcome within the city may come to the Halls of Inner Light Prayer Hall and become educated on the finer points of the Sunite Faith. It will be held on the 21st of Eleasis, 1357 in the afternoon.
Afterwords, food and drink will be served in the Heartfire Tavern and questions about the service will be fielded to answer any questions about the faith.
I look forward to seeing you there,

Activity at the Radiant Heart Charterhouse
At the Radiant House charter house an Emerald Scout could be seen making his way in the Side Gate nodding to the Paladin on Watch at the courtyard. He carried with him several field sketched maps in their perspective map cases.
The forge’s smokestack was bellowing out a steady dark grey plumes or smoke from the preparations to weapons, equipment and support equipments. In the horse pen a Squire tended to the horseshoes of the warhorses and the pack horses. In the courtyard several field tents had been set up to air out and to make sure they where in good working conditions.
He made his way into the keep and headed bellow to speak with the Blacksmith putting an order for a few crates of razor tipped broad-heads for his arrows.
