Bards Talk...Is it just the idle tongue wagging of minstrels or is it the truth? Only your GM knows for sure.

I present to you, Bard Talk...A place to post a bunch of random game hooks that could be real or invented.

"Did you here about the good Baron? He's celebrating his 85th birthday tomorrow...it's going to be a big party in the center of town. Simply everyone is going to be there to celebrate the good he has done for us over the years."

I've heard that the Baron went on many adventures in his youth and found a great many tresures. one such tresure i've heard he keeps locked in his keep is a Rune Book.. whatever you write in it.... comes True!

Severus Snape · Sun Aug 21, 2011 6:51 pm

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship...

"Rubbish! Who ever heard of a book doing something like that? Pure and utter hogwash!" *pauses a moment to take a long drink of ale* "Though you know, it might explain why he's been in power for so long... and why it's been so peaceful during his time. Makes me wonder what all he might have written in there himself..." thoughtfully rubs my chin "I wouldn't miond sneakin' a peek at what the ol' Baron's creative writing skills have done for us"

Finally, someone caught the play on words. Did it to see how long it would take. Okay, it's edited.

"Anyway...Have any of you heard the latest on the kings condition? WHAT, DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T HEARD? He went pegasus jumping and either forgot to have his court alchemist recharge his talisman or he lost it during the fall?...I have heard both accounts. Luckily for him, he landed in the river."

Well, take in mind that I heard this from the friend of friend, but apparently the queen won't be "happy" for quite a while due to the injuries the king sustained. Terrible, just terrible *sad shaking of head*

Overheard at another table...

"I had it, I actually had it in my hands, right there in my palms. Then a huge light appeared over my shoulders and I stood surrounded by militia all under his command. Well I did my time and now it's payback. Lansten Valorious is here; in town....and he has the Tristinium with him! Meet me at the southern moathouse at midnight and we'll discus the plan."

Severus Snape · Thu Aug 25, 2011 5:14 pm

A group of men, drinking and talking loudly, sit in the middle of the bar. They mostly keep to themselves, except when one of the young serving girls comes near them. Then they all decide to put their hands on her and harass her, but she's used to it.

After receiving their latest round of drinks, one of them starts talking loudly enough for you to hear.

I'm not sure why it's happening. Whole damned shoreline is getting torn up thanks to the rising water. Fishing's gone bad, and the beach is so gritty and rocky now you can't even dig for crabs and clams. Even boats are avoiding the cove. Weather's getting worse there too. Not sure why, but it seems only the cove and its surrounding caves are being affected...

Aye, and the music for interludes has been changed to a bard telling a 10 part story... What was his name again, someone quite famous i hear...

"If memory serves, it's called "The Masked Falcon", the story of a nobleman who earned the title adventuring and got tired of palace life, so he took it upon himself to help hunt down the criminals that were running amok in his land. And one of the knight told me it wasn't the jewels, but he landed on the water leg first, in a split, and that yanked the muscles in the groin. On the upside, the queen I hear is trained in massage. This would probably account for there being a shortage of mint at the market. But, who knows if this is true or not."

"Orcs? The rumors I've heard say it's the eastern warlocks, getting ready for something. Dantel thinks they're gearing up for some war between themselves, but my gut tells me they want a bigger piece of land than what they've got..."

I've heard that it is Orcs as well, and not just Orcs, but there are Ogres and Trolls on the march with them......

Ah yes, the bard's name is Jase Wendryn... and I have heard that the orcs are led by a dark mage...

It's all a game, you see. They are spreading misinformation to throw us off from the real enemy. Who that is, I don't know. But I've heard they make camp near the Old City Ruins...

"You mean the elven the Magus-Queen Kalean and the 9 knight-lords of Raf-Chalon: Xaro, Calu, Shadow, Kelontro, Gaerith, Zyson, Fino, Kel, and Rowit and the proud men that they commanded...not the blackguard human king that had the historians make out a different history and took credit for it! I was there!" takes a moment to compose himself "Forgive me...you simply struck an old wound, as it were."

"As for the orcs, ogres, and trolls from the Old Kingdom; I dare say that it's about bloody time they attacked. Think about it...Have you ever been to the old kingdom? Well, I have; three months ago...Their farms are all but gone from years of being over used. While we get to enjoy a large deposit of silt from the river plus the benefits of the warlocks in the Tri-Arcanum. So, now is the time to either do for others or do with out. Start off by restoring the farm lands. 30 elementals and about 30 days would be all it would take to do it. That is what I hear the Tri-Arcanum have been discussing. That and doing the same to the Highback Plains."

"Well, what did you think of the Baron's Festival in comparison to the kings, uh, celebration? Also, did any of you hear that the lighthouse attendants to lighthouse, east of the forest of Helm's Keep (that is the one northeast of wisdom) were all found dead?"

The way I hear it about them orcs... and mind you this is just a rumor... but I hear the Wolfen are behind it. Someone heard the Empire sent a couple ships full of military advisors, emissaries and gold to the shores of the Old Kingdom to convince the hordes here to start marching on the borders of the Eastern Territory to give them a second front to fight on in the wars. Divide and conquer with an already established "army" of orcs, ogres and trolls, sandwich the Territories between the orcs from the east and the Empire from the north and crush the Humans between them.
Damn brilliant maneuver... if it's true, that is....

Possibly to try to start restocking his slave population. I heard a while back that most of the orcish slaves there died of an odd sickness over the winter. They called it the great bluuck.

Seams like bosh to me. Have you seen the size of that Inn? It is way too small. And the people there nice. Mind you, not quite as nice as this place, however I refuse to believe that there could ever be a sizable thieves guild there."

You think so? heh. Try walking up to the bartender wearing a bright yellow scarf and asking for a bottle of Three Sheets rum. You'll find a nice little surprise glued to the bottom of the bottle in the form of a key to the apparantly never vacant Room #2 in the back. A trap door there leads to the sewers where the guild is really hiding. Just be prepared to know the right passwords, the bartender sure as Hades doesn't.
