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

A long, drawn out battle resounded near the Boareskyr Bridge between a lithe figure and a hulking, bear-like beast, in the middle of the night. Blood, tufts of fur and wooden shards are found chaotically spread around the old watchtower.

A shirtless man, bloodied by dozens of cuts and scratches and heavily bruised, later stumbled inside Soubar's limits. He warned another traveler to avoid the road and spoke of vampires, then left the other way, hoping to avoid another fight.

With the Recent vampire attack and the people going missing the "Blackrose Soldiers" are put on high alert in "Soubar." A handful of clerics were called into "Soubar" from their Outpost on the "Northern Tradeway" to help with the situation. They would work in conjunction with the "Soubarian Militia" in order to protect the locals of "Soubar" as best they can.

A few days have passed but rumor's could be heard that there was a lengthy discussion between "Mag the tavern Owner" and the "Matriarch of House Blackrose Amelia". Patrons of the tavern could hear talks of the future of "Soubar" and laws being establish in a town that held a delicate sense of law and order.
It was over heard that "Mag" has give "Amelia" leave to write up a draft of laws for "Soubar" to be revised between them on a later date. It would also be heard that a great amount of lumber was to be delivered to "Mag" in order to fix up her roof to her liking and to build gates for the tent town.

"I'll give permission for you to govern the laws directly around your own place" a line from "Mag" that particularly stood out.

The respect between the two could be seen as they parted ways though likely this was just the beginning of a wave of developments that were coming to "Soubar"

((Got busy and didn't have a chance to post this the day it happened. Thank you DM boo for the RP))

The following notice is left tacked to the Bulletin Board in Souber:

Mr. Gieland Steelhand

Your custom crafted armor is complete and ready to be returned to your possession. Please leave notice at the Phoenix Company Lodge in Wyrms Crossing to arrange formal delivery.

Lady Netanya
Councilor Phoenix Company

Of the current garrison of "Blackrose Soldiers" in "Soubar", half their number could be seen moving out of the east gate towards the "Northern Outpost."
Rumor's would have it that with most of their soldiers engaged in "Thundar's Ride" the additional soldiers were needed to protect their interest and the many people who live at the "Northern Outpost"

A representative of House Blackrose could be seen talking with the Merchant Priya with bundles and Bundles of wolf pelts at his feet.
Rumor is that House Blackrose has made a deal with her to get them tailored into cloaks and then distribute them among the residents of Soubar before the first snow is set to fall.


((Thank you DM Summerbreeze for taking the Pelts and Gold))

Two Wagons pulled by heavy horse would make their way into "Soubar" under the guard of "Blackrose soldiers". the wagons would be parked near the "Ebon Blade" fort and would be kept under a light guard. Rumors have it that they are waiting for a buyer to pick up the Lumber.

The grounds of Soubar are abuzz with activity, what was once a quiet project contained under the ground of Soubar has started to show itself above grounds. Engineers have begun what appears to be a project building something within the small pond within the walls of the settlement. Temporary water-tight walls have been built within the pond and the water pumped out from within, a workspace to for more establishing more permanent walls for whatever is being built.


OOC reference for a visual aid:

Even though the visual construction on the exterior of Soubar only begun a short time ago, it is clear Banites are brutally efficient at making sure their laborers get their work done in a timely matter. Stone bricks getting stacked up into the sky as a large bell tower is seen to be sticking out of the pond of Soubar. Some bits of scaffolding around the edges of the tower remain as a large banner is unfurled hanging off the side of the tower, a banner showing the four holy symbols of the gods represented within the halls below.

A broad shouldered dwarf is seen sitting and drawing the new Banite temple at Soubar. Folding the paper and glares a final time before depart towards Boaresky bridge.

With the completion of the "Black Abbey," the "Blackrose Soldiers" are pulled out of the now fully resorted temple with their contract being completed and return to their guard duties around "Soubar's" commerce area's.

Today the woman known at the "Matriarch of House Blackrose, Amelia Blackrose" could be seen entering the "Winding Way Tavern" with a sealed scroll in hand accompanied by her elite guards. She would speak with the tavern owner "Mag" as she passed the scroll over to her. Nearby patrons could hear the mention of "Law's of Soubar."
After a lengthy discussion she would leave, the outcome of the conversation not known.

Many begun to spun tale of a strange Girl, who was accompanied by three mercenaries and two Monsterous Humanoids, notably a Night Shade Lizardkin and Bugbear, as she began downscaling statues, they seemed almost too real and she was noted as extremely overjoyed to see the Craftmanship of such.

The talks noted a Kobold, Giant Gnoll and Gigantuan Rhinosaurous Beast, were carried to Soubar and exchanged to this mad Woman, only for her to make them Statuettes, subsequently handing them over to her Bugbear.

A grim Tale indeed.

Those who had heard of Cinnamon's petrification jobs for hire in the past, would likely correlate the prior and current incidents as one and the same.

What could she possibly be up too?
