Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate

[sweetlikesplenda]

Lord Lyonaler would be seen about the City. First entering the Palace for a meeting with the Council of Four. A candle mark later he exits moving with purpose for various temples within the City. If any paid attention, they would see him visit each of the temples of the Triad. At each stop he approaches the high functionary and after notifying as being on errand for the Dukes, speaks privately with them.

First visit is to the Temple of Illmater where he speaks with Mother Juna



Followed by Abbot Eldric of Tyr



Then Tia Olwyn of the temple of Torm

THE TRADE SHIP OF THAY

For three days and nights, dockhands and harbor masters along the Gray Harbor spoke in hushed tones of a crimson-sailed vessel making its slow way up the Sea of Swords. Rumors flew faster than gulls: some said it was a warship, others a merchant vessel, and a few whispered it was a slaver ship or pirate vessel. When dawn rose on the 5th of Marpenoth, 1361, the truth—or at least part of it—was revealed.

The Scarlet Marrow, a Thayan trade galley bearing the banners of the Tharch of Bezantur, and Zulkirs, moored just past Dock Four. In sharp contrast to the bustle of local sailors and merchants, the Thayans moved with a chilling precision as the contents of the ship was unloaded and new goods from the Enclave were loaded in turn. Each crate and chest was marked with sigils denoting arcane reagents, exotic silks, or spices said to grow only in the east.

Few dared linger near the Thayan crew for long; Overseeing it all was a Red Wizard. He spoke little, but his gaze measured every motion, every whisper.

As evening fell and the last goods were loaded, the Scarlet Marrow unfurled its sails once more, ready to depart. Keen-eyed sailors and night watchmen noticed something peculiar, however: one of the vessel's passengers who had left in the morning had never returned.

Having been busy preparing for a festival, and the ensuing cleanup after, Adrian finally makes it back to the Church of Tymora. After a prayer to Tymora at the altar he spends some time with other patrons in various games of chance once again to pay homage to his Lady Luck.

When he finds a proper moment Adrian once again seeks out High Lady Leeta to share more news from the organizing efforts against the Black Grass. He is happy to report that the aid of the church was well received by all in attendance. Unfortunately not all is good news, as he must also relay a request for able-bodied clergy to take to the field to aid in the ritual casting of the cleansing magic.

Like before, regardless of High Lady Leeta's answer, now or after deliberation, he thanks her for her time, and restates his previous promise of fostering new adventures.

In the wake of a meeting at House Vale, and an impromptu trip to Ulgoth's Beard, Adrian makes good on his promise to Lord Osric.

Arriving at the Lady's Hall Church of Tymora, Adrian initially spends a few hours joining patrons and petitioners in games. Win or lose, Adrian maintains his soft smile, happy to simply spend some time in the halls of Lady Luck.

After speaking a private prayer to Tymora, Adrian seeks out High Lady Priestess of Tymora Leeta in the church, and shares his plea: for the church to aid in the cleansing of the fiendish grass spreading in and beyond Ulgoth's Beard.

He understands such endeavors are not typically part of what the church involves itself in. But shares a growing worry that, if not stopped, the grass will eventually spread far enough to hamper new adventures by being too dangerous to undertake except by the most seasoned and wealthy adventurers.

Regardless of High Lady Leeta's answer, now or after deliberation, he thanks her for her time, and promises to continue fostering new adventures among those he meet.
