Gaping Wound Announcements and rumors
« on: June 01, 2017, 08:32:00 AM »
A dark skinned man sets notices at noon in the slums and outskirts of Vallaki at a certain time every day, hanging lanterns near the notes.
The lettering is simple, and there are no directions to the place mentioned in the note.



Spoiler: show
Open evening hours GMT when the in-game sign is up, and Saavar is online.

Gaping Wound opening times: evening hours GMT+3, from 9pm to midnight, night in game, 2pm-6pm EST.
Thank you Emptyanima for helping out with the English.



The notices are taken down, a dark skinned man tucks them under his arm with a satisfied smile, and hangs others in their place

The sound of a Garda's horn blares from the Gaping Wound early one morning, men shout, and steel is drawn.
Soon after, a long line of men is led by many Garda to the Citadel only to emerge the day after, seemingly unscathed.
They make their way back to the tavern in the Slums one by one, their faces haggard but unbloodied.
Through the night and day, a foreign woman is left crying outside of the Gaping Wound in the snow.


The dark skinned man removes the notices for the waitress, and hangs up new ones.

The signs and torches were up, the furniture was ready and the alcohol was stored in neat rows, and yet when visitors arrived at the Gaping Wound at the time on the poster last night, they were driven away by knife point by the Captain of the local Vardo branch and the shady tavern's own crew.
Those who stepped in far enough could glimpse a filthy woman sitting in the center of the room, bleeding on the large round table from holes where her fingernails used to be, and were savagely torn out.
The place remained closed and quiet the night after, with its crew walking around the city for business, their faces grim.


// Gaping Wound won't open tonight at the regular GMT+3 time.

The patrons of the Wound spilled out into the morning light, among them were men and women of every profession- Garda and former bounties, a few were held up by their arms, drink and fist having brought them low.
The morning after, the dark-skinned man who manages the wound set up big posters in the outskirts proclaiming the winners of the Fight Night.

It might have looked strange to those who had visited that night, that he had developed a few bruises on his bare, wide chest, even though he had not partaken in any of the fights.

The man who runs the Gaping Wound hangs up a poster, he seems unharmed but there are clouds behind his sunken eyes, and he looks as if he has not slept in a while.
Despite the exhaustion, he is polite, dipping his head to whomever greets him and some he remembers by name, though always adding the local honorific.


// This is 10PM EST, today, instead of the usual 10PM GMT+3 I'm trying to open the Wound in american times as some have asked.

Bruised and tired, the manager of the Gaping Wound hangs up the results of the last fight night.

Another poster is set on the sign used for the Wound's announcements, this time, a local Garda seems to have dominated the results of the last Fight Night, a new challenger with an unusual name making his first appearance.

// Next Fight Night on Tuesday, 3pm EST.

The owner of the Gaping Wound exited the walls of Vallaki, his eyes drawn to a familiar name in a familiar board, he observed the wanted poster for a long time then stepped on, keeping his face impassive as he hung up his own sign.

A few days late, the manager of the Wound sets the posters up for the last Fight Night, some might wonder, what made the usually punctual man miss such a beat.

After two weeks of silence, he returns, setting a new sign and pinning a note as if nothing had happened.
Nothing seems to have changed about him.

The Wound's manager is a little bruised this morning, with fresh blue welts on his cheek and neck. He seems to be in good spirits as he hangs a blood-stained poster up on his usual sign.

The manager of the Gaping Wound is seen carrying large buckets of sand into the dive bar in preparation of the Mud Fight. A woman who takes care of her looks seems to have temporarily joined the crew as one of the wrestlers, while the other remains an unknown.

[A petite woman in ill-fitting armor and wearing the amulet of the Wayfarers reads the sign with a scowl. She hesitates for a moment and lifts her hands to it as though about to do it damage but then shakes her head and goes on her way.]

A stocky man swathed in leathers of black and red would be seen pausing to inspect the most recent notices. He'd simply stare at the weather worn parchment with a distant smile on his face for a few moments. The fellow would vacantly tug at his trousers and pull the cloth around his groin a touch looser before wandering off.
