Vallaki - Western Outskirts - The Lady's Resting Place

[darkpriest]

A ghost haunts the bar at Lady's rest... some can see it once it gets dark outside, some can feel its presence when heading towards the rooms upstairs, or having a drink at the bar.

Some people could feel a chill falling on their skin, while others could swear they had murderous thoughts once they were near the place where a man was killed few nights ago at Lady's rest.

Those, who noticed the ghost while and could distinguish a form from the blurry air, could notice the blood was pouring out of  the ghost's moth and sliding down a long grey beard, yet it was not falling down on the ground... there seem to be also deep wounds on his back from which the blood flows, but the pulsing curtain never reaches the ground. From time to time the ghost raises a hand and points something in front of himself with an old and bony finger. the ghosts tares blankly towards the bar stool and does not say a word to anyone, although those of strong mind could swear they heard some whispers in their heads, words as 'darkness' and 'murderer'.

[darkpriest]

With a loud wail a vile disappeared... yet a few minutes later, darkness shrouded the bar and with a loud wail, the chill and some vile presence appeared again... some of the Lady's rest patrons say the place is cursed... some were seen making warding gestures

[Truth]

*the infamous Ezran Inquisitor Veritas is noted around the inn spending extra time analyzing things others might see as subtle or mundane.  He interviews those who have seen the alleged "ghost", scrutinizing their testimony against his own judgement.  He also seems to take interest in the murder of the Zarus cultist.*

[Budly]

*A bald man who visits the in scarcely starts to speak ill of the Inquisitor and proclaims Ezra to be a "prostitute taken by the mist", obviously he just provoke. He also says he like a talk with this infamous Ezran running around interviewing people, disturbing the natural balance*

[darkpriest]

Some say they've noticed a dwarf flipping out last morning once he sat at the bar on the stool where a Zarusian was murdered few nights ago... It seemed as the dwarf was absent minded and enraged, with anger directed at a small feylike person


There are also more and more rumors that the place seems to be cursed or haunted by some spirit

[Mrjunkie]

Several tenants of the Ladies Rest murmurm about a Brumbat, a Brumbat with a name even, Dongo Brumbat being relieved of a hand by a man Named Roland aswell as being threatend at blade point by a former Vallaki Garda Officer Mihas, whilst two current Garda officers were present. Puddles of blood dot the tavern area. The nae 'Boots' was mentioned several times as the hin was questioned.

[darkpriest]

Some rumors appear again, of the bar at Lady's rest being cursed.... Some patrons  have seen a barbarian shouting that the place is "bewitched" and seen him leaving hastily.... others have also witnessed strange behaviour of one of the bar patrons just after midnight... a man shattered his mug with ale on the bar and was walking around the bar enraged looking for someone with fey like features.

There was also a strange sighting on the following night.. it seemed like some fey kneeled down and cut his wrist open near the bar... then ran away panicked into the Old Night shouting "the spirits cannot be appeased!!!"

[Shadowthrone]

Morrighan was seen to return to her room from the outskirts at night, her clothing torn and bloodied. Come morning, neither hide nor hair of her could be found.

The young woman seems to have disappeared.

[Psyche]

The night after, a dark-clad, thoroughly rude man some might know as Konrad Vostrova is seen shouting the name 'Morrighan' into thin air. He feebly declares love to the nothingness, and after a long silent vigil, departs in the dead of that night, heading west.

[LoLJohnFerro]

A new elf is seen not the same in being weak like others that newly arrived. He seemes stronger and more capable then most and comes to sit with a red book filled with notes and a cup of tea reagulaly at the ladys.

[puckwolf]

A pale haired elven woman in a white and gold gown watches over the outskirts worriedly.  Another dear friend having disappeared, she begs the Morninglord in her prayers to protect the missing woman.

"Where are you, Morri...."

[yakon]

Rumor spreads that the Ezrite known as Vasten has died a unknown death.

Other rumors speak of a witch attack, leaving  a lot of wounded people and the ground of the outskirts full of scorch marks.

[Maryn]

Shortly after the news spreads, Chaley vanishes entirely.

[Budly]

Revendall frowns upon hearing this

Seems their whipping of me did not help...the real witch is out there he mutters walking by the outskirts.

[darkpriest]

During last night the Lady's rest seemed to be haunted by some ghost... Some of the bar patrons whispered among themselves that it was the same ghost of the murdered man that kept haunting the place for several weeks.

Some have seen a barovian lady almost screaming and seemingly losing breath... some Garda shouted to her and tried to help her.

Before the noon a loud wail echoed from the upstairs of the inn... and the ghostly presence seemed to vanish...


On the next day some locals heard a loud 'boom' coming from the upstairs of the inn... and a naked elf running down the stairs...

The elf seemed to behave strangely and was covered with bruises and burns.



Some could say that the Lady's rest is cursed...

[Cadenza]

Outlanders and Non Outlanders alike have been speaking of and gossiping about a strange raven that has been frequenting the Outskirts lately. Although the raven appears to belong to no one in particular, it seems to have taken a liking to the guard woman Izabela Popa. Many have noticed that the bird seems to be somewhat intelligent and gurgles out the few words it knows at random times. To those who have hung around it long enough, one would notice that the raven apparently goes by the name "Arthur."

[LoLJohnFerro]

Some people who notice the raven seem to have a un hindered agression to it perhaps it is bird hunting season or just some are a bit tempermental and requir spots in the asylum?

[Pepchko]

Darkness covered the inn as a symphony of screams spilled out into the night. those foolishly gathering in the Outskirts, quickly realized their errors, leaving the Outlandish establishment undefended. the scene within could only be described as chaotic, as friends and companions quickly turned against each other in the unnatural darkness. rumors spread of the intent behind the attacks, however the blood stained floor and walls was a clear warning from the ancient terrors that have plagued these lands for centuries.

[Mrjunkie]

Private Alexi and Recruit Bobboc are seen following a pair of thugs into the ladies, a thug by the name of Lucius disrespected the Garda where they stood and was fined in return, threatend with a night in the Citadel Jails for his disrespect. Soon after a small demon is seen in the ladies, causing havoc before it was cut down.

Recruit Bobboc orderd upstairs to seek out the Witch, soon after a brawl between Alexi and Lucius kicked off, interupted by a bald headed, red cloak wearing man using witchcraft, causing mass confusing amongst those pressent, a mass brawl followed, radu affected by the witchery and joining in in the mass brawl.

Several people fell in the brawl, being dragged off to the MorningLord church to be tended to...the witch was said to have fled after causing his havoc.

[Little Lotte]

It is on the lips of all in the inn that the Red Vardo Captain Anya Vadim was seen slapping Kayne and threatening him to move away from the merchants stall. They were all surprised when he actually listened to her.

[Ercvadasz]

"Today a gruesome murder was witnessed by all that were around the outskirts in the morning. Ed the known drunk and ventriloquist has been stabbed to death by broad dayligt by Hex, Dagon and a third accomplice (OOC:cant remember his name). Just as the guard(OOC:PC cant remember his name) went in to check the temple, they rushed at him, and stabbed him as long as he was bleeding. Nor the guards at the gates of Vallaki, nor Radu has lifted a finger. The known vardo Salina Fallowcrest has been seen to keep the three of them in company before the murderous act. Nobody beside a fey lifted a finger, when the dire and grim deed happened. And nobody was payed to hold his or her mouth neither."

[Strigoi]

Rumor Spreads of a Vampire attack that occurred late in the evening on the second floor of the Lady's Rest Inn. a creature made of bone was seen flying down the steps before Radu crushed it with his hammer. soon after Screams where heard above, as brave outlanders rushed to the aid of the blood drained Victim, and a odd looking Dwarf.... their bodies Burned and drained of thier life essence to the point of near death...

[Sewerprince]

To people going down into the basement of the Lady's Rest, there is a significantly more noticible scent of candles and a few tiny shards of bone can be found in the carpet.

[Feronius]

Warren Lucianovich, the local undertaker often working around the Outskirts cemetery, has been asking people to keep an eye out near the graveyard.. especially during the old night. He seems particulary grumpy that his work is being undone..

Apparently several graves have been robbed recently.. or at least disturbed. Most of them recent burials, simple outlanders with no headstones in place.. nobody who would be truely missed. But it is still worrying that an increasing number of corpses appears to either be missing.. or left mangled in their shallow resting place under the dirt. Missing limbs, eyes and fingers seem most common.. some ripped off, others seemingly cut off clean.

On top of that a rumor is spreading that the undertaker, together with a few outlanders, found back some of the missing recently burried corpses inside the catacombs.. right underneath the church of the coming dawn. This is suggesting a high ghoul activity in the region.

[Oculus]

After an explosion and a terrible fire, the Lady's was forced to close it's doors while repairs to the building are made. Fortunately, no one was killed in the incident. The attackers are still unknown, but it is suspected that it was a Gundarakite Rebel attack. Yet still some say.. They fail to see why Gundars would target an inn that mostly caters to Outlanders.
