You hear Eliza talking to Mugush in the shop, they speak of sightings of a cloaked figure crouched on the roof of the inn. Some say it is Rasmantil, other say it just a large crow.

You hear rumours about two creatures that live deep in the bowels of a cave north of the Kumdah sands. People say that they laugh and play games late into the night.

The children of the North think that their laughter sounds like thunder.


...


You hear rumours of cobwebs appearing in unusual places all over the island. Some say that they have seen the Ungolianth again. Others say that it is a different spider.

Some even say that there are two spiders...

Firunja Winterkalt seems to have seen a "friendly" golem near Varshikar that played with an apple tree.

The months in the desert seem to made her crazy.

You overhear a discussion between two humans walking down the street in Troll's Bane.

"You know, there's something strange about that halfling. I don't think that he's just a cook."

"Why do you think so? Ian perfectly looks the cook to me, belly and everything."

"Did you notice that talk? He discussed copper smithing with a dwarf he was serving beer. What halfling has anything to tell to a dwarf about smithing, I ask you?"

"He's a bartender. All good bartenders take an interest in their customers, listen to their worries, their live stories, their work..."

"He was discussing the finer points of processing copper. Hey, I'm an apprentice smith and I don't know how to do that!"

"Oh, who cares what you know? My stomach at least claims that he is a cook for sure..."

The talk becomes inaudible in the distance.

"Damn! By Oldra, that is mean!" yells a little boy. He spits out the remaints of a cherry. "So bitter and stinky and I was so happy to find one."

It seems like the cherry trees suffer from some kind of disease.

---

"Verdammt! Be Oldra, das ist nicht fair." ruft ein kleiner Junge. Er spuckt die Überreste einer Kirsche aus. "So bitter und muffig und ich hatte mich noch so gefreut, dass ich eine gefunden habe."

Es scheint als würden die Kirschbäume von einer Krankheit befallen sein.

You overhear some halflings standing in front of a cherry tree and observing the dry and rotten fruits with a sorrowful face.

"I have have never seen anything like this cherry disease before. They just whither - all of them. If nobody finds a cure for this, the whole population of cherries is threatened."

"Likely this is still caused by the imbalance in nature they had in Troll's bane recently. First this rampant growth - and now something stops growing."

He shakes his head sadly.

An old woman in the tavern shakes with fear as people gather around her:

"Ever..ever since that pillar appeared wrong things 'ave been afoot..

earlier this evening, a great chasm cracked open in town, an'..out of it, a demon skeleton crawled..it said.that it was the Herald of the Greater Herald."

The old woman's face is pale:

"It said..it said it were the herald of Drakhen Vorkalion!"

You hear that rumours are often unfounded and malicious, or so says Madame Fallapatorious from Greenbriar.

You also hear that the pillar by Lake Adron emenates a warmth that never ceases.

((A note to players. This topic was originally for GM use only, but we eventually let players use it. However, recently, the rumours have gone down-hill. Not only have they become stupidly specific, but they have also become detrimental to roleplay.

A suggestion: Start including sources for rumours, as well as keeping them vague! They should be rumours, not highly accurate news reports.

An example:

An old woman that walks the streets of Troll's Bane tells all that she can that she has seen an unusual pillar by the Lake of Adron.

This is something along the lines of what we want, as opposed to highly detailed factual stories. If you want to start something like that, start your own topic.

The alternative, if rumours do not start improving, is that this topic is locked and that rumours will only be posted if we approve them beforehand.

This is more work for both you and us, so please, put some sense into your rumours.))

Wie dem auch sei, seit neuestem sind die Gerüchte völlig verkommen. Sie sind nicht nur zu spezifisch geworden, sondern schädlich für das Rollenspiel.

Ein Vorschlag: Beginnt damit die Quelle des Gerüchts anzugeben und haltet sie vage! Es sollen Gerüchte sein und keine extrem präzisen Neuigkeitenberichte.

Ein Beispiel:

Eine alte Frau geht durch die Straßen von Trolls Bane und erzählt jedem, dass sie eine seltsame Säule an Adrons See gesehen hat.

Das ist ungefähr das was wir wollen, im Gegensatz zu den genau detaillierten, sachlichen Erzählungen. Wenn ihr so etwas posten wollt, dann bitte in einem eigenen Topic.

Sollte die Gerüchte sich nicht bessern, dann ist die einzigste Alternative das das Topic gesperrt wird und Gerüchte nur geposted werden können wenn wir sie vorher genehmigen.

Das wäre mehr Arbeit für alle, also bitte bringt wieder mehr Sinn in eure Gerüchte.))

You hear a conversation between a dwarf and a human.

Human: Is it true that Silverbrand has an new vice king?
Dwarf: Nah, he was only a few hours the vice king. And now there is a bounty on this head.
Human: really? How much?
Dwarf: Its a lot. Onehund...then the dwarf lowers his voice und you hear nothing more

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Du hörst ein Gespräch zwischen einem Zwerg und einem Menschen.

Mensch: Ist es wahr das Silberbrand einen neunen Vize König hat?
Dwarf: Nein, er war nur ein paar Stunden Vice König. Und jetzt ist ein Kopfgeld auf ihn ausgesetzt.
Mensch: Wirklich? Wie viel?
Dwarf: Es ist sehr viel. Einhund...dann spricht der Zwerg leiser und du hörst nichts mehr

(( ooc: i hope its better now))

There is talk of a young man's body parts being found scattered around the underground tombe in the cemetary. Not enough parts were left to identify him. Only the tattered remains of a red shirt, dark trousers and a rusty, blunt sword were found.

Nebelschwaden.... .......zwischen Felsen tief in den Minen von Silberbrand

zwei Gestalten, Zwerge, von ihrer schweren und ehrlichen Arbeit in den Minen gezeichnet.

Gesprächsfetzen werden herangetragen



....sollte immer ansprechbar sein ... beide denken nur an ihren Gewinn ...
es ist nicht recht so.......sollten ihn freilassen....



der Nebel wird dichter...es sind nur noch die dumpfen Schläge einer harter ehrlichen Arbeit zu vernehmen

Die alten und ehrwürdigen Hallen Silberbrands werden vom Kerzenschein in ein unwirkliches Licht getaucht.

Ein alter grauer Zwerg mit einer Krone verschwindet zwischen den Säulen.

Im Schein der Kerzen ist nun noch ein erfahrener muskulöser Zergenkrieger zu sehen,

er scheint trotz seiner stattlichen Gestalt nachdenklich ja betroffen und streicht über seinen ergrauten Bart.

Vor ihm ein junger Zwerg, gerade dem Knabenalter entwachsen.

Gesprächsfetzen dringen an dein Ohr


...schlecht gelaunt... von der Wahl berichtet... wütent....



Das Knarren eines schweren Tores dringt an dein Ohr

Ein Luftzug fegt durch die Hallen, die Kerzen erlöschen.

You hear some excited citizens of the North with the idea of a local farmer; this farmer seems to have suggested that pigs should be bought to Varshikar instead of keeping a trade with Troll's Bane for fair prices with a dubious lasting time.


You also hear some citizens complaing about the same idea, saying they like the way things are and that they should be kept this way.
