The Chant Shortly after dinner one recent cycle, bells started ringing throughout the Hive ward, coming from the Gatehouse, for about 20 minutes or so. Seems some alarms had been sprung. Rumors start to circulate.


The Dark Bleakers tell the tale among their inner circles of a high security patient from the ward of the Criminally Insane having escaped. An emergency response unit supposedly subdued the criminal... er patient... and returned it to its cell... er... housing unit.


The Darkest Dark You would have had to have been there berk!

The Chant

On this day, halflings throughout the city can be seen lazily lounging around the clerk ward... perhaps not too uncommon a sight.

However, a new fashion trend appears to be catching on among them. Most if not all of the lazy halflings now wear a fairly prominent half moon indention bruise upon their foreheads.



The Dark

Various rumors begin circulating that the halflings have started a moon cult. Sinkers try to convince others that it is a sign of the deterioration of the multiverse.



The Darkest Dark

If asked, and not lying to cover up the truth out of embarrassment, a halfling may admit to having passed out into his mug the night before.

The Chant: Rumor has it that the Indep known as Altair is undergoing extreme surgery at the House of Healing for his health, expected to last several weeks.

The Chant: A cleanly severed head on pike, clad in standard, but blood-stained Doomguard helmet appears in front off Armoury.

The Dark: Rumour spreads, that there was a battle in Undersigil Village between Harmonium and Mercykillers from one side, and Doomguard from another and the head was probably taken there.

Darkest Dark: Harmonium notary Nica ordered WHAT to be done with corpses??? O_o

The Chant: There was a rather large brawl in the bazaar just outside of Khazeet's. People report a rather sizable crowd forming to observe a fight between a large blue Slaad, a werewolf and a few humanoids. Details of why the fight started are fuzzy, but the evidence is there. Some of the stones have been shattered, and multiple kinds of bloods stain them at a few places. People also report seeing the bright flash of spells being thrown out, as well as a flying werewolf.

The Dark: A few other people say they saw the same slaad just a few minutes latter battling an invisible force across the alleys of the Clerk's ward. The exact outcome of the battle is unknown, but from the long, winding trail of blood and flesh it seems both parties where at least seriously injured.

The Chant: A notable Indep seems to have disappeared from his normal post at the Bazaar as of evening this cycle. Last seen headed for the Clerk's ward, apparently the trail goes cold.

The Dark: Apparently he hasn't been seen at home either.

The Dark: In extremely rare occassions he may be seen in Market Ward actually. Just veeeery rare and to veeery attentive person.

The Chant: Someone was seen been carried into the Festhall last cycle, covered in blood.

The Dark: It is rumored to have been one of the factors. There are whispers of a factionless having been involved with the grave injury.

The Darkest Dark: Quinn had not been seen around the festhall recently.

Scrawled upon yellowed parchment and bearing the official wax seal of The Reforged Blade Mercenaries, a public notice is swift in it's distribution throughout the City of Doors. Notice boards, lampposts - even the Taigh's own front door - each bear statement written in the scrawl of leadership's feminine hand.
wrote: [align=center]Let it be hereby known;

To attack a Brother or Sister of the Blades is to strike against the Taigh itself.
Consequence will follow for those whom deign to ignore this warning.

Soon after the bounties were published in the Sigis a cutter would have mentioned having in her possession the heart of Araki Yasuyo and Argent as well as the pierced heart of Hindel Ipswich. The said cutter is waiting in the bottle and jug to collect the pay.
