Earlier in the day, prior to Eric Lightbringers execution, a huge storm blew across the city of Baldurs Gate from the docks...soaking the city in rain. Lightening and thunderheads boomed for a few hours though no damage was done to the city other than heavy rains....the storms appearance so sudden as it could not have been normal....

Some say it was in response to an incident between the Fist and the Druids of the Keepers of the Elder Circle...a message known only to those that need to know.....

The rest is rumor and speculative....

The storm died away after Lightbringers corpse was hung upon the wall.....as messengers bearing missives for the Keepers allies we seen entering the city arriving at the WeaveMasters, the Fist, and Knights of the Sacred Heart, amoung others....

[ A memorial stone near the caravans reads the following]
T'was a Hero and a Good Man, Was Incorruptible, Stayed that way and Died. In honor Of Eric Lightbringer Cleric of Helm

it is said that later that day, a woman usally dressed in all black, now wearing a white and golden dress visited that. those close to it may have heared her say the following words:

"Hello Eric, you always suggested me to wear more colourful clothing, that it would look good on me, so here, i wear that just for you.

I shall cry tears for you, eventhough the gods know, we have never stood on the same side.
I shall cry tears for you, eventhough you were so small and your potential so wide
I shall cry tears for you, not for the man you have been, i shall cry tears for you, for the man in you that i have seen.

In your memorial I shall, as long as i wear this dress for you, help every living soul wich is in need of it."

after that words people just saw here lay down a single white flower, takeing a deep breath and moving away.

*Rumor speads that Great Druid Galen'ael Glenstalker, known to many went insane*

Rumor says he slew over 15 advneturers were slain before he was captured by the Fist member, Grunga Ironfist of the clan Ironfist.

Rumor says he says puking black bile and insane, as he passed in and out of consciousness rambling about Shadow Druids and their hold upon him...himself out of control and under the influence.

Grunga defeated him and took him to the Fist prision, where he lay unconscious..shifting and rambling and casting spells against the bars...while begging for help against the fowl influence.....unable to escape the stout Fist prision...

He then passed out...

Rumor says whether he will be executed or given help by the Flaming Fist after years of acts of good, now sprinkled with an act of abject evil....seemingly insane...his fate unknown...

[Mausman]

* Raymond gasps as this news reaches his ears, making his way to the Fist's compound*

[Cythraur]

A strange rhyme has made away through the local children.

Under rocks iddy eric lies. Happy eating Loved in vultures eyes.

[SteelForgedSword]

Rumor spreads that people are trying to get word of Galen'ael...prisonor in the Fist prision...some of them Raymond a Ranger of Mielekki and none other than Saint Merielle herself...

[Mausman]

*Rumour states, a black clothed male with the symbol of Mielikki on the brooch of his cloak, was not allowed entrance to the Fist prison cells. Rumour states the guards suspected the man's intent was to attempt and free his comrade, Galen'ael Glenstalker*

[Rocshanks]

The remains of Eric Lightbringer are taken down and he is buried in an unmarked grave.

[silinrul357]

Lately, there has been a girl clad in blue and wearing a black mask around Baldur's Gate that is calling herself "Chiriu of Twilight," apparently fancying herself a folk hero. She has tested the patience of more than a few fists, and generally is a bit irresponsible with her magic. Yet at the same time, many of the lower class folk are praising her as a hero because of the gifts of money, food, and clothing she has brought, and this is particularly seen with the orphanage.

[BreakNova]

Just as often, the same woman clad in blue can be seen accompanied by a priestess of Ilmater with long brunette hair, a golden circlet, and a white cape. She is often seen apologizing for Chiriu's brash and childish behavior to the party insulted by her actions. The priestess seems to be good friends with the woman in blue.

[SteelForgedSword]

Rumor says Galen'ael still rots in his cell...waiting the arrival of Jonas Rockranon and maybe others...

Rumor also says he is nearly clueless as to why he is in the Fist prison...but somewhat sure as to the how....his memories a mess and a haunted look upon his face...

[ZStreeter]

A short, tall-headed man spends the afternoon doom-saying. Listeners take only the words 'Dragons', 'Red Wizards,' and 'Nashkel' from his heated, incoherent blabbering. He spends the evening in a jail-cell.

[Randall]

Rumors spread about the last Candlekeep festival. It says that the elves Firavain and Dajala attacked Randall after she sang a crude song about woman's curves and elves, while wearing a red dress. Firavain is said to have recieved a spell to restain his movement from the candlekeep guide, before being taken out of the Candlekeep inn.

Rumors also says that Randall, along with Gregor, won the singing and story telling contest afterwards.
