Rumors

There is a rumor that spreads rather quickly that 4 men and 1 lizard successfully made there way through a dragon den and slew the dragon within.

You hear another rumour that they only just managed to defeat the elementals and didn't even get past the spiders, let alone the dragon.

A man whose completely drenched in blood from head to toe walks down the streets of Trolls Bane. A whispered conversation commences close by.

"I hear that is one of the four men that successfully slew the dragon, no?" One of them gasps.

"Aye, it was Taeryon Silverlight, Ogerawa, Taliss, Kenneth Ladrus, and Julius Rothman to be exact. They actually slew the dragon though, unlike the failed attempt by William's group."

"Aye. William's group is much weaker I suppose."

The man makes his way to the tavern and orders a beer mug from Borgate. A necklace with a dragon's claw attached to it can be seen hanging loosely from his bloodied neck.

You hear a rumor that one side-effect from the new snakesword poisoning is to become incredibly fat.

The conversation continues as another man joins in.

"William's group you say? Nay, it was actually his fault that they failed."

The other man shrugs, and the conversation ends.

Man munkelt eine größere Gruppe soll von der Burg der Grauen Orden in die Irmoronberge gegangen sein.

Saril · Post by **Saril** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 8:51 pm

Sam sagt die Gruppe aus Zwergen, Menschen und Elben soll wieder in der Burg sein. Er sagt sie haben nach Schwefel gestunken und dauernd von sieben getöteten Drachen geredet. Große Schätze hat er aber nicht gesehen. Nur Teile vom Drachen und die zwei verletzten Elben die der dritte Elb heilte.

Man erzählt von zwei Menschen, einer um die 14 Jahre alt, und einer um die 20, die sich im Ostwald ein kleines Lager bauen.

You hear that Edward Cromwell has been seen walking out of the town, extremely drunk. Where to is a mystery, probably even for himself.

Frederick D'Aubigne · Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:38 pm

You hear rumors that a deadly epidemic is scrawling steadily from beyond the seas and approaching Gobaith. Any of the incoming ships might cause a catastrophe to all Gobaithians.

Friendly Stranger · Post by **Friendly Stranger** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 3:04 am

You hear a strange rumor that a swarm of demonic moths attacked the merchants wares, and that is the reason that none are sold.

Kerigan van Ildoran · Tue Sep 11, 2007 10:09 pm

Zwei Männer am Hafen flüstern sich gegenseitig zu...

Mann1:" Hast du dieses riesen Schiff gesehen das Heute hier angelegt hat?"
Mann2:" Nein, hier legen am Tag mehr als 20 Schiffe an, musste schon genauer werden freundchen."
Mann1:" So ein riesen Schiff halt, is in der Bucht dahinten auf Anker gegangen."
Mann2:" Und was genau soll daran jetzt interessant sein?"
Mann1:"Das Segel, es ist grün, mit einem schwarzen Löwenkopf der knallrote Augen hat! Das kommt mir irgendwie bekannt vor..."
Mann2:" Aye, das hat doch die kleine von der Illdoran Familie um den Hals!"
Mann1:" Harr, du hast recht, muss wohl wieder so ein schnösel sein der nichts besseres zutun hat..."
Mann2:" Jetzt spinn hier nich rum, los du zahlst ein Bier..."

Die beiden Männer lachten, gingen in die nächste Taverne und sauften bis in den Morgengrauen...

You hear the rumor that Trolls Bane is now actually under the control of the old Temple.

Lance Thunnigan · Post by **Lance Thunnigan** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 12:14 am

A rumor spreads ridiculously fast that the Temple mebers were spotted outside the west gate of trollsbane in not but their undergarments, drinking and singing tunes to Moshran.

Friendly Stranger · Post by **Friendly Stranger** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 12:57 am

You hear a rumor that Moshran really exists and that he is a mystical cow with the head of a dragon and he loves cherry pie.

Eine junge Wanderin berichtet, dass in Greenbriar erneut ein vermummter Mann zu sehen war, der sich eigenartig verhielt und etwas in einer Truhe herumkramte.
Handelt es sich hierbei etwa um einen der verbannten? Man wird es wohl nie genau herausfinden.

Nalzaxx · Post by **Nalzaxx** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 12:21 am

You overhear a pair of Albarian sailors talking in the inn.

Rufus: "What does the missus say Bob?"
Bob: "Not much, the sprogs are growing up quick and the weather's been good."
Rufus: "It's a long letter just to say that."
Bob: "Yeah, she's got all worked up about some new cult that's sprung up in Albar."
Rufus laughs: "Another one?"
Bob: "Yeah, apparently they worship some weird diety called Mowpacks"
Rufus chuckles again: "Sure they do."

At this point another sailor buts in.

Mack: "It's true I tell ya I seen one of em followers with my own eyes. All withered and stricken with illness. Had some odd black stone burnt into his chest."
Bob: "And he had forty foot long tentacles with purple hair I bet."
Mack: "No its true, I swear to ya!"
Rufus: "I think that's enough ale for one night Mack, you're inventin stories again"

The pair laugh and continue their drinking.

Rumor has it that Evan Ross has died from what said to be an honorable death fighting aside Taliss to defend Trollsbane from a small group of Golems.

Mr. Cromwell · Post by **Mr. Cromwell** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:30 pm

You hear that Taliss murdered Evan in cold blood while the latter was trying to fend off some golems.

Friendly Stranger · Post by **Friendly Stranger** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:39 pm

You hear from an old, loopy beggar that Evan actually died because he was carrying a sack of ores and fell into the well. His dying words were, "Move my cow to a better pastuuurree!".

((Alright, this is getting a little out of hand, the rumors here have gotten really ridiculous lately. People, please start putting thought into what you post here!

http://illarion.org/community/forums/vi ... 669#282669

In other words, please refrain from fighting with opposing rumors and such, please. I really did not want to go ooc, but it is getting out of hand.))

William Elderberry was very visibly walking through town with a dragon's head and wing to the transporter. It was said he was hanging the head up in Caelum.

Julius · Post by **Julius** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 9:45 pm

You hear a rumor that Alex Rose bartered the head and wing from Julius Rothman for 5 gold coins.

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.))

((Eine Anmerkung für die Spieler. Dieses Topic war eigentlich dazu gedacht, dass nur GMs hier posten, jedoch haben wir es gelegentlich auch von Spielern benutzen lassen. 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 an angry voice from the hospital*

--Why do all these creatures always attack trollsbane--
*a quiet but audible voice replys*
--maybe trollsbane is just a cursed town?--

In den Tiefen Wäldern Tol Vanimas kann seit Tagen das Schlagen von Hämmern, Picken und Äxten gehört werden.

Was mag da vorgehen? Waldläufer können Begegnungen mit aggressiven kleinen, grünen Männern berichten, die im Wald nun zu hausen scheinen.

~~~~~~~~~~

In the deep forests of Tol Vanima the sounds of hammers, pick-axes and hatchets can be heared since days.

What happens there? Some Ranger could tell, that they had contact with very aggressive green and little people, which seems to live there now.
