Mid-afternoon, in the lightly forested hills around Ulgoth's Beard, there is heard the echo of some sort of scream or cry. It is debatable on if it was a human making the sound.

A short time later, Derik Ranloss is seen making a hasty trip through town and disappears into the Last Anchor, heading immediately downstairs and ignoring any attempts from staff or patrons to hail him. He has wide, almost desperate looking eyes.

Locals speak of some disturbance in the sea caves, and the maze of tunnels they lead to. Fishermen say that some “of them nature-folk” went into the cave, to retrieve something stolen. They emerged not long after in high spirits, then went their seperate ways.

A shirtless, hairy man can be seen spending the night in the sand at the shoreline, napping for one or two hours at a time, but staying awake for the rest of the night. He waits until the first rays of sunlight reach across the horizon before leaving.

There is some local talk about some odd activity at the Last Anchor and the local cemetery for the town.

The shy druid living at the Last Anchor could be seen returning to the town from some event elsewhere. He seemed in a good mood and took a moment to follow a cute little squirrel around as it frolicked in the grass, only to be lead to the edge of the local cemetery where for some reason he decided to respectfully explore since he had not really taken a look before.
Apparently this was a mistake, as he stumbled upon something there which had him frozen in horror before he ran to the Last Anchor and hid upstairs in his room.
Anyone concerned about what happened could be relieved to hear it had nothing to do with the vampires lurking about lately whatsoever.

Drow seen on the beach

Unread post by JustAnotherGirl »

The Enclave had gathered at the beach for some fishing and relaxing. Soon a small spirit was seen up on the small cliff. A ranger with long brunette hair was seen chasing after it. Later, the same brunette was seen inside the small town, alerting the guards to the presence of a drow on Ulgoth's.

What did I just see?

The brunette ranger could be seen relaxing on the beach with a large white wolf. The events of the evening left her wondering if she was dreaming or if the night really happened. . .did Barnacle Bob really retrieve a crab that was nearly as big as himself? Was the druid speaking nonsense or was he speaking in code that she couldn't figure out? Did he really dive headfirst into the fire?

A posting is placed around Ulgoth's Beard:
To Whom it May Concern,

The Last Anchor is currently looking to fill two positions: Events Coordinator and Tavern Manager.

These positions can be both full or part time. Depending on ability and time available, there can be more than one person in each position.

Events Coordinator would be responsible for assisting the proprietor with setting up quarterly festival celebrations as well as events to help further the betterment of Ulgoth's Beard.

Tavern Manager would be responsible for management of the public tavern and inn spaces on a more regular day to day basis.

Please contact Derik Ranloss via missive (PM) to express interest.

The owner of the Last Anchor and resident of Ulgoth's Beard, Derik Ranloss, was seen moving towards the small town's tiny cemetery today. He apparently stayed there for several hours.

An extremely intoxicated old half-orc was thrown out of the Bearded Mermaid late at night; after starting - and apparently winning - a brawl against an entire, equally intoxicated ship's crew.

Accounts vary as to what happened (one colorful account claims a man was hurled "through the ceiling") but it is likely that the old man will be at very least heavily billed and fined for his part in the damage done.

The elf Alreielle, and her companion Ytarya, casued quite a stir amongst locals when the sight of a hellball being summoned out into the coastline was both seen, and heard. The waves shaking nearby ships and the subsequent disruption bringing many dead and charred fish, crabs, and other sea life to the surface of the water, or washed up along the beach.

The man known to some as Sel, has been nearly nightly, at the shoreline of Ulgoth's Beard, seemingly deliberating at the edges of the water for long periods of time throughout the night.

A green haired druid seen nearly daily along the beaches of Ulgoth's Beard would spot the carnage of the dead fish. His brows would furrow and he would begin to clean up the decaying carcasses, muttering to himself. Those near enough may have heard something about "First the Radiant Heart taints an entire island, and now this. People need to learn to clean up their messes."
"Now this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky,
And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die."

Derik Ranloss stands by himself on the cliff overlooking the small harbor of Ulgoth's Beard, watching the fishing boats both big and small coming and going.

Somewhere down there was the creature causing all the fuss. Causing all the damage to his cozy little home town. The town where he made his life with Lannia and their son. The town that was now his to abide in and protect.

"Alright you cultist bastards and bloody abomination..." he mumbles to himself. "You want to play silent take over? Fine. But prep yourselves drek-heads, because you started a war of take over, and now it's going to come down on your heads. And it won't be silent..."

He watches a while longer, pulls up his hood, and strolls back down into the village.
