Nidaros, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – June 2, 2012 – by Ashlynn – Taverns, adventures, and adventurers in Taverns. Not to mention adventures that begin in taverns and often end there too, the tavern occasionally not surviving a brush with those who delve deep into places they shouldn’t. But these topics are our focus today!
Elise Symeria to Visit the Black Dagger Saloon
Nidaros has hired (semi) famed barkeep Elise Symeria, owner (or so I believe) of the Keg and Anchor in Trinsic. Being someone in the know who has the ear of many of the realms more famous (and infamous) citizens, we look forward to hearing the latest gossip to come out of the southern fortified city.
Elise will be serving at the Black Dagger Saloon on the evening of June 5th from the hours of 8pm to 10pm by the eastern clock. The Black Dagger Saloon is the public bar area of the Nidaros Town Hall and can be reached via the teleporter at the Tea House in PaxOku.
The doors are of course open to all and the weekly statehood meeting will also be taking place from 9pm onwards. We look forward to all guests and ruffians. I have already advised Mayor Zanku to remove anything flammable from the building and ensure only watered down ale and wine is served. I’m sure such a decision will prove popular. Afterall, sobriety is a virtue!
Shadow of the Sorceress
A large number of volunteer adventurers responded to the Royal call to arms following Cora’s initial attack upon Covetous. The assembled militia fought for a long time, pushing back wave after wave of the wicked sorceress’ minions. Even I participated in the battle although I must stress for the sake of truthful reporting that by “participate”, I actually mean utter a few words of summoning magic followed by hiding behind a huge stone titan.
After sixty waves of her vile minions, I found myself feeling somewhat fatigued and decided to withdraw from battle. Others fought on however though I do not know how many more of her servants they slew.
I did however find one of Blackthorn’s antique examplars as I made my way out of the mines of Covetous. A prize to be sure!
Old Enemies
Continuing the fight against old enemies of the realm these past few weeks were Roan, Badger and Lord Shatain of Dragons Watch. While the realm turns it’s focus to Cora, ancient opponents such as the Necromancer Lady Neira continue to menace travelers near Delucia and the Shrine of Humility.
The Trio decided this situation could not go on and resolved to remind the witch that not everyone has forgotten the threat she poses. With sword, spell, tooth and claw they vanquished her minions and tore down her altar of skulls, recovering a bounty of gold in the process.
