Rumors in Diamond Lake
A successful DC 15 Charisma (Investigation eller Persuasion) check can garner one of the following rumors (roll 1d10):
| d10 | Rykte |
|---|---|
| 1 | One of the lodgers at the Able Carter Coaching Inn is a rich mine manager from the neighboring village of Blackstone. He has no guards, and several trunks for an extended stay. He’d better watch himself, ’cause if I know it, you can bet I’m not alone. [True] En av gjestene på Able Carter Coaching Inn er en rik gruvebestyrer fra nabobyen Blackstone. Han har ingen vakter og flere kister som tyder på et lengre opphold. Han bør passe seg – for hvis jeg vet det, er det garantert flere som gjør det. |
| 2 | Governor-Mayor Lanod Neff loathes the presence of the Twilight Monastery monks in his town, and plans to attack the monastery soon with the sheriff’s boys and some mercenaries from the Free City. [Partly True] Neff loathes the monastery, but is too afraid of Izenfen to strike. He has employed no mercenaries from the Free City; the presence of Auric, Tirra, and Khellek is probably to blame for the confusion. Guvernør-ordfører Lanod Neff hater at munkene fra Twilight-klosteret holder til i byen, og planlegger visstnok å angripe dem med lensmannens folk og leiesoldater fra Free City. Dette er delvis sant – Neff hater klosteret, men er for redd Izenfen til å slå til, og har ikke leid inn noen leiesoldater. |
| 3 | Did you hear about what happened at the Spinning Giant last month? There was some kind of fight inside, and when the sheriff’s boys tried to go in to make an arrest, the soldiers forced the lawmen to leave. My cousin was there, and swears that a couple of those Heironeous clerics stood up to them sheriff’s boys, too. [True] Governor-Mayor Lanod Neff’s goons are no longer welcome on “soldier” property. Hørte du hva som skjedde på Spinning Giant i forrige måned? Det var slagsmål der inne, og da lensmannens folk prøvde å gripe inn, ble de jaget bort av soldatene. Noen Heironeous-prester tok også soldatenes parti. Neffs bøller er ikke lenger velkomne på militært område. |
| 4 | Last week me mate Barwik were on the Elmshire Road when he come across a dozen armored warriors. They weren’t the garrison militia, neither. Had a flag with the symbol of Manzorian the Archmage, what lives near Elmshire. Barwik thinks he plans to invade Diamond Lake! [Partly True] The archmage has indeed marshaled a force in the northern hills, but he has no ambitions upon Diamond Lake. Forrige uke møtte kameraten min Barwik et dusin pansrede krigere på Elmshire-veien. De var ikke bymilitsen, og bar Manzorian erkemandens banner. Barwik tror han planlegger å invadere Diamond Lake – men selv om Manzorian har samlet styrker, har han ingen planer om å angripe byen. |
| 5 | No one has seen Mestal Fixx, Balabar Smenk’s right-hand man, in more than two weeks. I might be imaginin’ things, but Smenk seems more on edge lately. I wonder if something big is about to happen? [True] Last week, Balabar Smenk awoke from a pleasant night’s sleep to stare into the eyes of Mestal Fixx’s disembodied head, courtesy of a pack of grimlocks aligned with the Ebon Triad. Smenk fed the body to his dire apes, and nervously maintains that Fixx is away on business. Ingen har sett Mestal Fixx, Balabar Smenks høyre hånd, på over to uker. Smenk virker nervøs. Sannheten er at Fixx ble drept av grimlocks tilknyttet Ebon Triad, og Smenk later som om han er bortreist. |
| 6 | Somebody’s moved into the Old Observatory. I saw a crew of Balabar Smenk’s boys hauling all kinds of unusual contraptions and gear from a carriage parked outside the building. Heavy cloth sheets covered just about everything, but I could have sworn that some of the things they unloaded were huge glass tanks. [True] A handful of miners saw Kullen and his gang moving the necromancer Filge into the Old Observatory, a key location in The Whispering Cairn. Noen har flyttet inn i det gamle observatoriet. Smenks menn frakter merkelig utstyr dit, inkludert store glasstanker. I virkeligheten har Kullen og banden hans flyttet nekromantikeren Filge dit. |
| 7 | I hear Luzane Parrin’s been hanging on the arm of Chaum Gansworth lately. My wife saw them leaving Lazare’s House together last week, so there’s something going on. So much for Gansworth’s neutrality! [True] Parrin and Gansworth have been lovers for months. Jeg hører Luzane Parrin og Chaum Gansworth har blitt veldig nære i det siste. De har faktisk vært elskere i flere måneder. |
| 8 | They say a horse was killed in Tilgast’s walled stable last week. Opened from ear to ear. Old Tilgast had to pay the visiting merchant a fortune to keep things quiet, but the men who hauled away the carcass revealed everything one night at the Feral Dog. A lot of people are thinking about pulling their horses out of Tilgast’s, but it’s not as if the Lakeside Stables are any better. [True] The horse attack was a Smenk move to weaken Tilgast’s beloved side-business. En hest ble slaktet i Tilgasts stall. Dette var et trekk fra Smenk for å svekke Tilgasts sidevirksomhet. |
| 9 | Old Ragnolin Dourstone seems like one of the better mine managers, but I heard he was run out of Greysmere after he caved in his own mines on his agitating workers. [True] Gamle Ragnolin Dourstone virker som en dyktig gruvebestyrer, men ble visst drevet ut av Greysmere etter å ha latt egne gruver rase sammen over streikende arbeidere. |
| 10 | I hear that one of the freaks escaped his cage at the Emporium. Crazy little bugger called “Demon Boy.” Bright red skin, obsessed with fire, you can’t miss ’im. Word is Shag Solomon will pay 100 pieces of gold to the first one what can turn ’im in. [True] Unfortunately for would-be bounty hunters, the nasty little creature has already departed Diamond Lake to find fame and fortune in the free-wheeling Free City. Et av misfostrene har rømt fra Emporium – en liten demonunge kalt «Demon Boy». Shag Solomon utlover dusør, men skapningen har allerede forlatt Diamond Lake. |
