Incunabula Opens

The Chant

For some time the Hive Ward has had brief rumblings from beneath the streets with several officials of Sigillian City Planning & Zoning traveling through the area, escorted by capable individuals on some errands leading to a house somewhere within the twisting streets. As of late their presence has diminished and the strange shaking has ceased.

The Dark

Shady individuals have been spotted in the alleyways of the Hive Ward recently; this itself isn't out of place but they all seem to travel along the same routes, heading to and from the same local region of streets. Those observed traveling thus disappear shortly thereafter, however. The local crime rate, specifically of those inclined towards breaking and entering as well as theft, has dropped by an infinitesimally small margin, though they seem to steer away from the same area.

The Darkest Dark

Arcanists and scholars have heard rumours or received personal invitations of late, prompting them to visit a new residence within the Hive Ward.

A Dark Wanderer

The Chant: A sentient Undead in dark robes appeared in the Bazaar recently, seemingly knowing his way around. He inquired about the "recent changes" in the Bazaar itself, and had some seemingly amicable interaction with a couple of well-known denizens (a hin mage of power and a demon girl).

The Dark: It seems the creature is an arcane Lich who used to be a rather common sight in The Cage a while back, and rumored to have a hideout with his associates somewhere in Undersigil.

The Darkest Dark: He was often seen with a slender human female, a stocky dwarf and a tall, fully armored figure among others. Apparently, they all more or less suddenly went missing during some sort of dangerous undertaking, about four years ago. Another Lich or Undead of similar power might have been involved.

Fight at the Three Dragons INN?

The Chant A fight was over heard at the Three Dragons INN in one of the back rooms. Overtime once the fight stopped others rushed too the scene. They found no one present. but noticeable a table was flipped over and there was a faint presence of odd smell that would seem to relax another from the smell in a usual way.

The Dark It would seem a few patrons did noticed two females at two different times exiting the Three Dragons from the same room the fight occurred in. There is no outlining details noticed beyond that to the patrons. However one did seem to recognize them one with more detail. She's was described as a female human wearing an eye patch, he also heard her use the name "Cere" before.

((edited my post with more detail on "Cere"))

Addendum to previous post:

The Dark
It might take some persuasion, but the persistent inquirer would find out that the resident of the room at the time of the scuffle would be one Seleya Sekthet. The woman has since left the room and the inn, citing a "traumatic verbal fight with a linguistics tutor over the price of services."

The Chant

The House of Healing has let its volunteers and workers out on a few days break as some custom for all their hard work. Don't worry! Any and all patients are being taken care safely in the meantime! House calls were available by contacting the caretakers.

The Dark

It sure smells lemony as the the bloody hells! Perhaps the building was going through a thorough cleaning

A goblin for hire?

The Chant
It seems a goblin is roaming about Sigil looking to do messenger jobs and more. The same goblin also put up posters advertsing for a female sun elf merchant of sorts. She claims to others that the goblin seems to be rather reliable and affordable.

The Chant

Chant is there was a huge commotion by the Brux portal earlier in the cycle. Some crazed armored man knocking on doors, shouting insanities, and threatening. Must be some barmy escaped from the Gatehouse. He was later knocked out and taken to the House of Healing.

The Dark

Even darker is that the people involved with trying to calm him down and taking him to get help were close friends that not seen him in months. The man caused quite a stir than what was normal for the House of Healing.

The Chant

A group of thugs (the exact number may vary depending on who's telling the tale) has been found dead in the Hive Ward, not too far from the Slags' entrance. Nothing too strange, except the fact none of them exhibited any sort of wounds...

The Dark

Given the deathly grip on their daggers and other assorted weapons, and the distorted facial expressions, they seem to have suddenly died of...fear...? Even darker, some whisper this must have been the by-product of some sort of evil magic.

The Chant

Recently there's been a string of cutters whom have had sightings of some rather barmy things. Apparently, butterflies are appearing, and whispering to them, and then simply disappearing the moment they're focused on. No one is sure what is triggering this string of madness, but some think they need to just check themselves into the gatehouse already.

The Dark

It has something to do with that Cutter Vahn Aristat and all of the sods he's been involved with lately. Someone involved enough wouldn't need to think too much on it to realize it's been involved with some of those random cultist sightings along the planes, and a few of those whom have been claiming to be in a 'war' recently.

The Chant

Some kind of fight broke out in the beastlands recently. There were some of the cultist again and some planatars joined the fight. Apparently some cutters got caught up in the action, and one of them, the Indep Sharon Raynsford didn't have any luck, and didn't make it out. Some dustmen went to look for a body though, and there was nothing. Likely this story is just the result of some bubber having one too many.
