Rumors of Roaringshore

[Gareut]

Few of Hellstorm Crew members have started to spread news about a public hanging. The Captain found out that one of his crew members, Cale The Brawler who killed the Shovel Waving Bastard attacked against what was rumoured to be an elven woman, unarmed. The Captain is known elf hater but still he honnors the -holy- code. Rumours also say how Cale was captured by fellow sailors by Captain's order. Took more than ten to get him down and tied.

Cale is judged by the Code and Captain Kalma Hellstorm. He shall hang before a day has passed.

Public hanging shall happen as soon as possible, watchers are allowed.

[GMT+0 -20.00- 8.8.2011.]

This shall be the fate of all Code breakers!

[Galaahd]

The public hanging isn't the only big news of the day: word is that Bjorn Olsen has challenged his comradfe Alistair de Lioncourt to a duel to death.

The duel will be held at dawn, on the docks.

Upon hearing about the duel he mumbles
"Hrmm.. I know e be a Talos pries' an all but maybe it be a blessin in disguis dat e be killin dat ferkin pinkie"

Reminder:

Rumors and Reports run panic through the port towns along the coast! Every major port town or village has shut their docks and dry docked their boats! The SEAS HAVE GONE MAD!! Many Sailors, Fishermen, and Bucaneer have lost their lives on the now treacherous waters that consume the coastline.

TSUNAMIS are reported to have occurred and waves reaching near hundred feet have been reported at sea. So far, none have reached shore but the rip tides and turbulent waters combined with storms across the sea have raged for nearly a week now. Those that make their living on the once bountiful waters are speaking of a Bad Omen, A curse bestowed upon by Umberlee. Some deep sea vessels have even reported a large powerful burst of dark energy swirling from the sea itself into the Heavens when the first of the Tsunami's struck out, lashing the waters craeating numerous Tidal waves to form, crushing, crippling ships, and drowning sailors mercilessly.

The Bitch Queen of the seas looks unsated in the destruction and ruin of the seafaring folk. The Waves grow larger and bolder, soon not even dry land will be able to fend off her explosive temper. Prophets and the clergy of Umberlee have been working diligently to cull the masses and take offerings as sacrifice to appease the Mighty Goddess of the Seas. Though their efforts go ignored by the deity as the storms and treacherous waters continue to plague the seaworthy people of the Coast.

It is also rumored that a group of devout agents of the Sea Goddess's order are searching towns and villages along the coast. They are menacing and are well armed, questioning and posturing the seafaring folk about a certain item they seek....

A woman in a black and purple full plate has been seen, or heard rather, stumbling over the road between the Swordarm and Goblet. She's been crashing into crates and wagons as well as people, sending off waves of a strange mixture between cursing, whistling and singing. Obviously very happy, or very intoxicated.

After the Swordsarm Inn was well visited for a night, the owner lost one of his customers as he was found with his throat cut open in the bathtub of his room.

[Gareut]

The Swordarm has housed many powerful and dangerous pirates and adventurers over the years. They have come to expect, and depend on, a place that is clean, quiet, and safe. On the rare occasions when guests have offered violence to anyone, swift and sure spells (presumably those of Aulyntar, who prefers to remain unseen) have lashed out to end the matter, usually by destroying the belligerent guest, although there have been some reports of such individuals being teleported abruptly into the depths of far-off Skullport, beneath Waterdeep, or the heart of the jungles of Chult, or into the midst of Icewind Dale. So this inn has become a neutral meeting place for deadly enemies, uneasy rivals, and swaggering folk-of-danger alike. If guests intend to do business together, however, they tend to arrange to meet elsewhere, no one is free of the feeling that Aulyntar or his frozen apprentices are always watching and listening.

Excerpt from Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast

[Galaahd]

The Hellstorm crew has just returned from an epic journey in the south. The sailors go immediately to the Broken Goblet, and an evergrowing crowd of curious people follow them. The tired but still excited captain Kalma Hellstorm sits at the usual table with his most trusted comrades but doesn't say anything: he just drinks.

As more than 60 pair of eyes are pointed on them and the captain doesn't feel like talking, Bjorn stands and climbs on the table, while the silence grows deafening: they want to hear what is this big thing that has happened.

"People of Roaringshore... we bring most important news, from the south! The Hellstorm crew, under the command of the infamous captain Kalma Hellstorm, sailed south to attend a meeting. Three captains awaited on the beach, and a group of priests of the FALSE GOD Valkur. They had a most vile proposal, for us..."

He waits dramatically for a few seconds, turning and seeing all the eyes focused on him. He continues, with a satisfied grin, uncommonly well spoken:

"Those three captains... but I would rather call them turncloaks, betrayers, TRAITORS, asked us to give up privateering. To become "honest" traders! COULD YOU BELIEVE IT, FREE SAILORS OF ROARINGSHORE? Betraying the Code, adopting a flag that isn't a Jolly Roger and asking others to do the same!
People of Roaringshore, do you know where these three traitors are now?"

He waits for a few more seconds.

"THEY ARE DEAD! SLAIN BY THE CREW OF CAPTAIN KALMA HELLSTORM! FOR THAT IS THE DESTINY THAT ANY TURNCLOAK WILL HAVE! But it's not over. Oh no, it's not over, good people of Roaringshore! Today the captain Kalma Hellstorm has made history!"

He points dramatically at the captain, sitting as his right.

"People of Roaringshore, we saw with our own eyes the brave captain Kalma Hellstorm while HE WAS PIERCING THE CHEST OF THE FALSE GOD, VALKUR! THE MASQUERADE OF THIS SO CALLED GOD FELL TO PIECES WHEN THE CAPTAIN KALMA HELLSTORM THRUSTED THE TRIDENT IN THE BODY OF VALKUR, WITH FURY GRANTED BY UMBERLEE AND TALOS! VALKUR IS DEAD, AND UMBERLEE ALONE RULES THE WAVES, WITH TALOS SMILING ON HER AND ALL OF US!"

There are no words coming from the shocked crowd, and Bjorn finishes his speech:

"Now the sea is calm... Umberlee is satisfied again... and Kalma Hellstorm returns victorious. He and he alone is the favourite of the Bitch Queen! And you owe to him the fact that now the sea is navigable, and we can resume our beloved activity. LONG LIVE CAPTAIN KALMA HELLSTORM, THE FAVOURITE OF UMBERLEE!"

[TheVoid]

A good half the room grumbles and makes the stink eye upon the reverand. Several of the bouncers as well, crack their knuckles with the three lightning bolts tattooed on their shoulders.

Seems that Valkur has quite a following amongest sailors and some of the hearties that be residing at the Roaringshore. Some may forget that the shore is not only a place for cut throats but fishermen, seafarers, and their captain's as well. Dogma of one god or the other ain't preached over another in this town... In this town, the loudest mouth gets a fist in it as the reverand now knows and the mayhem ensues within the broken goblet.

Fists fly! Bottles, Chairs, tables and Chandeliers anything but a blade weapon or a spell are used in the melee.

Just another night at the Roaringshore...

[blackdove]

early in the morning, The platinum blonde bard, member of the helstorm crew delivers a note to one of the captains guards, asking him politely to get that to the captain..

captain Kalma, I know you are busy, but I would like to discuss something that may be important. It may not be too, but you should know.When it is good for you, though I hope it be fast..

Dovey

[Gareut]

"Captain shall speak with you later, Dovey... His orders are not to disturb him and Lilah. I will get this note to him when he comes out from his cabin. That will happen when the sun is already quite high." The sailor in guard duties says and waves his farewells to one of ship's women.

[Poke me in game! I will be online later.]

[Gargauth Forever]

A cloaked man has been seeing tossing a couple red flyers around roaring shore a dawn, for whomever were able to find one, they are written

"For all those who seek wealth beyond any man can achieve, or a revenge against far too powerfull enemies or a life of pleasures that is worthy of the gods, it is possible!! All you have to do is find us and in exchange for your soul (a BARGAIN if you ask me), all of this and much more can be yours, in a blink of an eye!"

-signed "The Tenth Lord of The Nine"

[TaminaLightstep]

A red hooded and Cloaked woman picks up one of the parchments blowing around when it gets caught on her leg. She looks down at the Red piece of paper and reads it. She rolls her eyes and crumples it up and tosses it back on the ground.

"A mortal life of whatever you want that'll end too quickly then spend the rest of eternity Suffering in whatever Hell pit you end up in. What a Bargain." She Mutters Sarcastically and continues on her way.

-signed "The Tenth Lord of The Nine"

The Captain orders one of his sailors to pick parchments up and read it. "B-but C-capt! I don' know how to r-read."

"Give it to Quater Master then, sailor! Fast... I have nay whole day!" Kalma listens when one of his officers read the text. He burst out laughing and yells out: "We are the people of Fury! The Queen of the Depths owns our souls already, forget that and you -will- drown in a blink of an eye! Quater Master, make sure that those papers are used as fuel in our ship's kitchen." The ragged bunch of sailor makes their way to the Broken Goblet.

"Captain shall speak with you later, Dovey... His orders are not to disturb him and Lilah. I will get this note to him when he comes out from his cabin. That will happen when the sun is already quite high." The sailor in guard duties says and waves his farewells to one of ship's women.

She smiles and thanks him and goes off do something. In the process , she completely forgets what she was going to say, or even that she was going to talk to him .
