Outside varallas passage a very large drow war host can be seen loading supplies and preparing for a very long and difficult journey. " My lord all that dos ordered is ready and troops from the four more powerful factions and houses dos asked for are assembled". The old drow smiles and replies " Exellent my young apprentice tell them to move out at once we will be on the surface soon and that relic will be mine we already know who to contact about it and who is responsible " the large group is seen departing the city limits with haste ready for war .

Rumours spreading through the marketplace tak about the self-called "chosen of Talos" Lilly Sai'zzel meeting with three Bregan D'aerthe members at the Glourass Wing. What they chat was about is unknown, but they were seen walking to the Bregan D'aerthe private chambers afterwards.

Red masked jaluk was spotted in goblin caves, investigating rumors about an Ilithid that was controlling goblins.
He met a party of citizens of S'shamath, and, after a few questions, he left them to their hunt.

Last cycles, the talosian priestess Lilly Sai'zzel has been standing at the marketplace during the whole commercial activity, near the merchants' tents area. She has been offering free blessings and healing to whoever wants them, and talking about the almost unkown Talos to the Ssamath citizens that are want to listen, or simply are curious or have free time to stop for a while. When asked about this (at first look) strange behaviour, she simply answers: is my Lord's desire to aid the city, in all aspects usstan can.

A commotion broke out in the Dark Weavings Bazaar when Schezalle, proprietor of the Black Claws Mercantile Company in Sshamath, announced there the rare and immediate sale of the fresh bodily organs of an icy multiheaded snake monster, which some or other of the faerns present quickly identified as a cryohydra. She refused to comment on where it was killed, only that it demanded tribute for 'the Deep' and was subsequently unable to back up its demand with force of arms (or in this case, heads).
She was later seen entering the School of Mages and making enquiries of the Magthere of Invocation and Evocation about some other kind of magic item recovered from the strange beast.

The organs from a multi-headed snake seem not to interest anyone from those passing through the Bazaar. At least not for longer while. As the cycle is about to end a short figure clad in loose, grayish and worn robes approaches Schezzale.
-
Pieces from the snakes of the cold, known as cryohydras, are a very rare commodity around here - the figure says in a low, cracking voice that makes it hard to discern whether it belongs to a male or a female. -
I will pay you 5000 coins for these.

Most of the faernen at the School dismiss Schezalle and her rather ridiculous questions about something as extraneous as hydra and its possessions. Why would those able to shape the weave with the force of their will be bothered with some lesser species' jewelry.
On her way out, jallil Melarn receives an advice from a young student about making the inquiry at the Bazaar, where the possibility of meeting someone interested in such findings is relatively better.

After some days spent on the marketplace, Lilly has started to be a new constant the costumers of the place had been accostumed to. But one cycle, the talosian has not appeared more. Her place next to the merchants' tents is now one more of the shadowly corners in Ssamath.

The armored surfacer sat down feeling a bit agitated as his Dark Elf captors laughed at his expense. He had taken precautions. He had sensed no wards around preventing his teleportation to safety. But luck, or the opposite of luck, had just occurred. His spell backfired sending him into a nearby wall of his cell.
Now here he sat trying to buy a little more time. This was not a good sign, being inside a Drow House dungeon. He was simply here to negotiate trade terms. A visit to the alien world he had a fair amount of information about.
He let his diplomacy skills, and a negotiated deal to commit vile acts of carnage, act as trade for his freedom.

The drow female sneered somewhat at the rather dismissive attitude of the wizards and instead chose a more private line of enquiry with some of her magically-attuned acquaintances. She did seem rather pleased with the offer made for the cryohydra components, however.

Announcing herself to the yath'teller there she makes several inquiries. Obviously a spider was sent to us because it is well known we are a house of Lolth. But unless the faern of the conclave have now begun controlling the eyes of our mighty queen, the message was sent from here.
She asks many questions, and does not leave until she gains satisfactory answers.

Rumors may begin to spread among the shebali of a strange hooded female clothed in simple garb wandering through the poorer quarters of Sshsmath's Darkwoods.
The strange female is said to carry herself in a quiet confidence and to speak in a soft and strangely accented Undercommon, offering gentle words of support and healing to those who are gravely sick or afflicted.
Most astonishing are perhaps the rumors that the hooded female asks nothing in return for her services.

A dirgeful, yet hauntingly enchanting, voice echoes throughout Sshamath's central cavern. Observers might point towards somewhere near the Z'orr'bauth as the source of the sound but the singing ceases after only a few minutes, allowing the cavern to return to its normal hum of activity.

Tedia Dev'lin can be heard screaming in frustration as a faern whisks away with her prey, an impure blood, into thin air.
In her anger, she berates a kivvil and ends her cycle by unleashing a pair of arrows into his groin just before she disappears into the shadows.

Hushed whispers quickly circulate within the Dark Weavings Bazaar and gossip circles of Sshamath of a being making it's way through the dark tunnels towards the city.
Rumors vary stating this mysterious being is a powerful Drow Archmage, others say it is a human planeswalking wizard, and yet, from drunken tongues spill that it is a gladiator from the realms of the east.
None know for sure, with many left with bored speculation. Yet they all knew that something - SOMEONE - was heading towards Sshamath.

Talk spreads of a large brawl in the Spider's Kiss between two groups of off-duty guards, one from the School of Evocation and the other from the School of Conjuration.
The two groups, normally allies, got on well to begin with, drinking, exchanging stories, some friendly bar games. However an off-the-cuff comment quickly escalated into a full-on bar room fracas with fists flying and chairs broken.
Notable in the melee was a sergeant from the School of Conjuration being 'stuck' high up a wall encased in some form of webbing, by a faehlil jaluk clad in red and grey armour.
Order was restored when the dancing girls mustered en-masse to perform a rather exotic dance routine whilst singing "Whilst the Commander's away", a popular guard song.
The two groups joined each other in song and drink again, and the faehlil jaluk paid three times the cost of damage to the furniture and a round of drinks for both groups.
