Rumors quickly spread about the wedding of Elton and Livia Belovich, and about the strangeness of it all. The wedding itself, like most Barovian weddings, was devoid of pretense and fairly ordinary; however, what happened before and after the wedding got underway caught the attention of most and easily provided the water needed to power the rumor mill. The reception, so it is said, consisted of a man in a bear suit brutalizing and strangling the life out of a Gundarakite rebel. Even more interesting is what happened before the wedding: Dragos Dumitrascu, the father of the former Lieutenant Eugen Dumitrascu, launched into a vitriolic rant against Elton Belovich, calling him and the rest of the garda "corrupt and rotten" and continuously demanding the whereabouts of his son. The consoling words of the Lieutenant did nothing to sway the old man's stubborn heart, and his anger grows more and more potent with each passing day..

Tragedy struck the broken bell today with three people dead and one in critical condition after a nocturnal attack by a neuri.

The Broken Bell waitress and Theatre manager, Eliza Chirila, has been confined to her bed after some kind of attack last eve.
Apparently the young woman was found in a room not her own asleep in a chair next to a broken window and spattered blood, when woken she was semi-delerious and was returned to her own room.
People also speak of the visit by Mihas of the village guarda, her adoptive brother, and his storming off and Eliza returning downstairs red-eyed from crying to finish her shift earlier in the evening.

Some small noise has been made that the Bell, in order to raise more funds, may be holding a summer dance.

A local craftsman, the patrons know as Costa Vadim spending many evenings in the Broken bell with a young barovian girl. They often bend over a little black account book, talking about trade. They have been asking patrons if they know about men willing to work for Costa in the mines, or assist him in the smithy. Honest pay for honest work, he often says.
Also Costa have been asking the patrons how they feel about the Red Vardo.


((OOC: Some reply to this last would be welcome, I really wish to know how the locals feel about the Vardo))

When Ismene is asked one night as she stays at the Bell, her lips press together in thought; she obviously has something to say, but is measuring her words. 

"The Vardo?  Not trustworthy.  I have met some who are kind enough, or seem so on their surface, but who are they really?  Foreigners, domn, with their own agendas and plenty of fang to throw about and worm into local politics." 

A cloud comes over her expression as if she is remembering something more specific, but she doesn't seem to come out with the information.

Word that the sinister Black Coat ''Witch Hunter'' Viktor Noirgrim along with his henchman, have established themselves in the Broken Bell much to the displeasure of the patrons.

A quiet, mustachioed Barovian man has become a regular patron of the Inn during the long, dreadful nights. He does not seem to respond well to patrons who prod him for small talk and often retreats upstairs when there are too many "happy" patrons about.

Garda Natasha Orlov, once Corporal now Private, has been seen spending her evenings at the Broken Bell. She comes in just before the last rays of the sun dip below the horizon and spends the nights by the fire, watching the main door. She comes out of uniform, but nurses a wine all night as if on duty. Why is she here? those who know of her say she is there to remember her mother and father, killed some years back in the Firefly bombing. Others feel that she is wathcing over the inn, with the new advertising and potential renewed intertest, the Rebels may see it as a target. Others still think that she is just stiff and cold and this is how the all business Orlov has fun, sipping a wine all night and staring at the doorway, these are usually the domns that have attempted to convince the private up to their room for the night without success.

A gundarakite woman has often been spotted in the broken bell as of late. She often seems to be playing music there...

~Some rumors have spread about a woman who was staying at the broken bell leaving with a stranger one evening, she never returned for her things and many have just assumed she has become one of the numerous casualties of the plague or perhaps she has run off with this 'stranger' for greener pastures, the hysteria of vallaki rising to a near fever pitch of late. To many this seem's a small detail amid the dismal backdrop of the plague~

Rumor circulates that the broken bell inn has hired on a new bartender, he seems welcoming and spends most of his nights working the bar at the fine establishment.

A new face has been seen spending her evening's at the Broken Bell.  A young Barovian who goes by the name "Ros" can be found at the Bell most evening's.  She seems friendly enough, though mostly keeps to herself.

Late nights a follower of the Morninglord can be seen reading a book, occasionally looking at the door as it opens then returning to his reading.

*Rumors spread throughout the Market District, and specially amongst those who frequent the Broken Bell.*

"Late at night, an outlander ran inside the Broken Bell, chased by three monstrous rat neuri. One female barovian patron is confirmed dead, and many others are reported as wounded. Gossip indicates that former Garda, Grigore Mondragon, stood firm, equipped with nothing but a long blade, single handedly parrying the incoming blows of the three towering creatures. As the seasoned man stood, an unknown female and the same outlander responsible for the struggle helped putting the creatures to death. Word says that old Mondragon was severely wounded and got very close to losing the fight."

During the day, a muffled racket of shouts, bestial roaring, singing and laughter could be heard coming from the Broken Bell Theatre.

A modest crowd were seen departing the venue in the early evening, chuckling and bantering. Those who lingered in the tavern hall gave a toast to the troupe that had performed, though most of the actors had already hurried off for an early night to bed.

[Survivors of the attack relayed their fearful night once dawn came and they safely escaped. During the night, a small caliban ran into the Broken Bell shrieking, a were-rat chasing it. The caliban escaped, leaving the rat behind to attack tavern patrons.]

A woman in garda uniform entered the establishment during the small hours, looking for the manager of the Broken Bell Theatre. The two of them went downstairs to speak, but the garda emerged not long after, demanding to know where the man had gone. He appeared behind her, an axe at the ready. The garda grabbed the red-haired waitress on duty to use as a human shield, but the blond man kicked her aside and lunged at the garda. Another man with red hair assisted him in restraining the armored woman, but once she was mortally wounded, she simply... vanished.

Patrons and staff alike were terrified by the incident, even as nobody was harmed...

A beautiful outlander human in strange clothes and an air of refinement has been providing pleasant ambient music and an occasional song in an exotic-sounding language at the Blue Water Inn. She knows few words in common and answers to the name of 'Echo'.

As the time progresses she begins to include some of the known local tunes into her repertoire and can play a great variety of instruments and melodies, that range from 'soulful' to 'dance'. She performs at least once a day at the Broken Bell, but can be occasionally seen playing something at Lady's Rest, the Lightbringer Temple or near the Vistani Camp. When not practicing her music, she spends time picking more of the common language from anyone who would teach her.

Her general manner is polite and non-intrusive and if it wasn't for her different clothing, instruments, language or musical tradition, she would not attract much attention. Yet for anyone after the taste of the exotic culture and musical arts her performance would be quite a find.

Tensions run high the last night, with a Barovian woman and her several accomplices inciting a fiery argument with guests of the inn. A guardswoman, main subject of the mob's taunts, manages to calm the situation. She converses with the leading woman quietly, who in turn calms her group.

The pair leave together and, a short time later, the guardswoman returns alone, wounded near fatally.

Returning to the Broken Bell after what he calls "a long morning," Samvel Petrovsky offers free drinks for the rest of the day, touting the generosity of Vallaki's guards and benevolent government.
