Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

A letter is carried by swift messenger wearing the standard of a heart in a circular field toward the Helm and Cloak inn, originating from the Radiant Heart's Chapterhouse. A parchment scroll tied off with gilded ribbon might be glimpsed in the courier's grasp, sealed in gold wax and stamped with the seal of Lord Eldarian Al'maire. It is delivered courteously to the innkeep with a crisp half-bow, its intended audience relayed in murmured tones before it is seen onwards upstairs.

[[ PM sent. ]]

A formal letter was addressed to "Ms. Rosette" and delivered to the Blade and Stars by a heavily armoured man wearing the filigree of a Watchknight of Helm. He insisted on remaining in the Inn until he had a manner of response from the woman to return to the Watchknights of Helm in Nashkel, and retired thereafter in the room he had rented for the purpose.

Some flyers are spread about by a half elf.

An Illuskan man spent his evening carrying crates out of the Halls of Inner Light, all of the containers delivered to the harbor's murky depths with calm throws. He was last seen walking to the end of a long dock before disappearing within a bright cyan flash.

The tech-smith tinkerer known as Juniper Bottlesocket, and who since a few moons has been renting a workspot at the shipyard not far from the Twilight Rose, hasn’t opened her tiny business for days in a row now.

Last time she was there, she was seen reading some letter over and over again, lightly shaking her head before standing staring out over the water that lead to the great ocean.

Most of her self-constructed tools were gone, aside from a small port crane of which the hookless rope gently swayed with the wind in the evening sun.

A Priest was robbed of his helm near the Lord's Alliance building. Adventurers and curious passerby stood about discussing what may have occurred, but a few intrepid adventurers began investigating in greater detail...

///OOC, not part of rumor ///

///Common knowledge, would be circulated by the rumor mill.///

Two mornings after the robbery occurred, as the city begins to waken, a pile of four heads, tarred for preservation are found outside the Lord's Alliance building grounds. Each head has a word scrawled by a sharp instrument. The head's read "SCAB", "SQUATTER", "OUTSIDER", AND "TRESPASS".

Endelyon would leave flyers throughout the city (especially surrounding the theater) in strategic locations.

*Wai Li on her last travel to Baldur’s Gate would notice one of the flyers and smile at the name of an old acquiantinance. She would then go to the White Mask Theater and leave a standard Everwatch event security agreement offer for the occasion of the play addressed to the Lady for when the Lady would eventually have it performed along with a missive.*

The Quiet Guide of the Halls of Inner Light, Dove Starglow, is seen wandering around the gardens and the farmlands much of late. After her kidnapping, she seems tired. Her new wounds remain unclosed though bandaged. Those hearing her speak with friends and others would frequently hear her mentioning that she missed being in the fastness' of her goddess's faithful and their decided lack of paperwork.

At the same time, there seem to be instances of one or two of the guards of the Halls ending up wandering around in different parts of the city looking for the woman. It seems the Quiet Guide has become prone to trying to evade her new guard detail and is becoming increasingly frustrated with the demands on her time.

A man walked near the stone pulpit and rubbed at the back of his neck seeing many others make use of it from time to time. His gaze drifted around the city as he decided against ascending the steps and decided to remain on level with the people. The man could be seen wearing a cloak depicting the Radiant Heart Symbol, he was tall with hair as black as a raven and a neatly kept beard to match. His gray storm eyes observed those passing as he seemed to go over what he wished to do. His right armored hand rested on the Lion head pommel of his sword as he thumbed at the obsidian object held within it's maw. The man raised his voice enough to gather some attention

"Good people of Baldur's Gate I give greetings to you this day!"

A lopsided smiled was given as his gaze settled on those who may look towards him or pass by. He brought his fist to his heart, his forearm crossing over the chestplate hidden by his tunic as the man gave a proper bow.

"I am Gaven Arkalis Grand Knight of the Order of Radiant Heart Auxiliary and we are all aware of the various threats that have unnerved us. Dragonspear, the Trolls, and most recently Orcs...these vile beings make attempts at our loved ones and the innocents upon the roads."

The man brought his armored hands behind his back a hand holding the opposite wrist as he spoke to the general area.

"I wish you to know that the Radiant Heart are here to assist the Dukes of Baldur's Gate in keeping your family, yourselves, and your homes safe. Just as I had stood side by side with various members of the Fist and others who have come to call the Gate their home when facing down the Troll threat. The Radiant will be here with you. You are not alone I can assure you.

And I understand your Fear but take great Strength in knowing that the Triad, The Merciful Ilmater, The Just Tyr, and the Loyal Fury Torm watch over you in these dire times that surround our Home.

In my determination to remain true to this Promise that I give before you and the Triad themselves. The Radiant Heart beseeches any of you who wish to assist us in this endeavor to join with us. Rise with us and let us make certain no Evil will touch this City again.

For the Courage of One can Change the Destiny of Many!"

With that he removes a hammer, nail and a piece of parchment from a pouch as he made his way past any onlookers and placed the parchment on the bulletin board.

Diplomacy Roll: 43

Arching an eyebrow, a dark-robed traveler would scan the message on the board with curious interest, before commenting absent-mindedly:

"So, the offer does not include black-robed, short-tempered wizards of immense power. I am offended. I'll have to talk to this Grand Knight Arkalis, so that this slight can be rectified..."

before moving away faster than his attire would normally suggest, almost gliding.

A tiefling with blue skin could be seen hanging up fliers.

The notice board in Baldur's Gate has a notice pinned to it that states the following:

"Seeking information on or an audience with he who leads the fight against the orc & drow surface raiding parties, and have important information regarding such. Staying at the Friendly Arm Inn, send a missive for a meeting. - Dokrum"
