For a few days, Aella has visited Siph quite a bit. A few times she has stayed at the Unicorn Door Inn just to help Siph later. When she does stay in Cloudstone for the night, she gives a polite nod to those she passes, the swordmajor included, but doesn't speak very much. Inside the inn before going to bed, she can be found sitting by herself in one of the corner areas either sketching or writting her thoughts down. Lately her expression has been one of calm sadness. As if she is aware of something and cannot prevent it from happening. Siphanien seems to wait a few days before asking her to speak about something more personal. // let's seek each other out ingame

The same green hooded figure is seen repeatedly coming back to the Cloudstone palace, dropping off a package and leaving the city.

After the skirmish at Cloudstone Gates, Rose helps the workers clean up Skullmelter's remains and the bulette's. She make sure that none of the creatures' meat, hide, or bones go to waste and can be used by Cloudstone.

Lately, Aria is seen around Cloudstone, wandering and admiring the sculptures. Often she can be seen magically protected from the never-ending rain as she draws in one of her journals, or at the inn sipping on a flask of water as she reads.

Post by Masterbard Alyster Darkharp on Nov 28, 2020 13:32:55 GMT -5
The Bard, Darkharp stood with his back to the enourmous standing harp on the stage in the Unicorn's Door Inn and Tavern, his hands extended slightly behind his back, each of them positioned against the strings, plucking chords blind with the first four fingers of each hand. His technique perfect, even with his hands in a position not customary for harp music. It had taken months of practice in solitude to achieve, with only Procks as his witness. The Innkeeper didn't say much about his progress, but he did watch. The hardest part was coming as he deftly moved through the chord progressions of the intro to 'Dare And Beware', it was one of his favorite works of his old friend Esmerelda, the Moonsea Bard. The hardest part was here, he had to sing while he played behind his back.
He entered into the change and new progression of the first verse of the classic adventurers ballad with his eyes squeezed shut in concentration, and a trickle of sweat running from near his right ear, and down his cheek. His hands working independant of the rest of him, and each other as his foot lightly tapped a steady beat on the stone of the stage.
“Welcome traveler – to our fair region gloried and protected by Zhentilar legion So com’on in – join us here inside Place worries away – we wont mock or deride."
A thankful breath as he made it through the first verse without error, he mentall prepared as he began the second.
"Have a seat by my round table I’ll grant you insight with Moonsea fable Much you’ll find within our lands From minor peasant to those who command."
Awareness faded and muscle memory steered the bard through the song as memory produced lyrics first heard from the lips of the original singer more than a decade past in the filthy and unkept common room of the Obscene Ogre in the Suzail Docks. The chorus burned through his mind and passed his lips while his hands produced the accompanying music.
But traveler – beware! What seek you here? Will you dare? To face your fear?
Deft fingers found their way through a solo which bridged the chorus into the third verse. Eyes flashed open now and stared into an imagined audience, watching phantom reactions to the fruit of his months of practice. The third and fourth verses coming easily and without error to his lips.
"Instead of a Sun marking our sky Red’s and White’s together there fly And Dragonspire Mountains is where they dwell Only death you’ll there find – I can foretell
"But should you really brave now feel The Flooded Forest will test your steel A fetid swamp this forest is Next to our wild, wet river Lis."
A smile came unbidden to his lips behind the black cloth mask that hid his features other than his dark glittering eyes. The feeling transferred into his voice in that strange manner that occurs when you can 'hear' a smile within the voice of a bard, and with that exultation, Alyster continued into the chorus and final verse of the masterpiece of the Moonsea Bard.
So traveler – beware! No fame for you here! No riches, no gold Only death, only cold
"And if this wasn’t excitement enough Ready your ship and prove you’re tough Sail the waters of purple Moonsea But heed my words – it’s the last you’ll be"
His fingers flew automatically into an artful and epic outro, one that the Moonsea Bard herself had never played, instead this was one of his own embellishments on the art that he didn't really think she would mind. He could still feel her there from all of those years ago, singing beside him as he sat in on the song in youthful excitement. A young minstrel on the stage with a legend. He could still see the audience from that night as well. Faces that haunted his mind from the past. Glimpses into a time long ago and before he had been the bard he was today. Foundations of art built solid. He removed his fingers from the strings and stepped forward, his mind exhausted from the effort, but it was coming more easily each time.
He said to himself, and maybe Procks, "From the top", as he stepped backwards again and started over, locking the hand positions into his mind more firmly with every run through the song.

*A dwarf is seen dropping off a large bale of rags and burlap strips at the conveniently located orcish outhouse on the way to Cloudstone. He has a brief discussion about orcish hygiene with the drooling idiot tasked with guarding the area. Informing him that if they ever require a door for the crapper that Bathwater Berg's Flat Footed Patrol Bugger "Bent-in" uses one for a shield.*

*A small group on road clearing duties was rumored to have been attacked by bandits clad in black. It was said some were released and some were killed or taken hostage. Those who made it to Cloudstone all had stories to tell.*

Ting can be seen cleaning out one of the towers next to the entrance. Muttering something about "the perfect lair for the Hunters."
Screams ae heard inside at times "where in the bloody &^%&#@ did these bones and broken bottles come from."

*Furin an Diggy halt their approach towards the tower. Arms full of sacks containing Roth bones and empty Tripple Bock crocks...*
"Bugger! We will need to find a new place to dump our garbage Diggy!"
*They wander off with the clinking of crocks emerging from the swinging burlap sacks...*

Sylus has been seen a lot traversing the road to and from Cloudstone, often taking long guard duties in front of the High Mages office, the new gate site, and occasionally standing watch over the Deadmans gate. He can often be seen baking treats in the palace kitchen filling the palace with sweet smells of fresh baked pies and other tasty treats. He also spends a fair amount of time patrolling the nearby pass of Ruin and informing folks about the trouble the Zhentarim in the area have been causing.

Ellena can be found in and around the Hornbow estate. In the mornings she offers her prayers near the "in progress" Lathanderite shrine, then takes a lap or two jog around Cloudstone.
She chips in whereever anyone needs a hand, be it shovelling rubble, tending to aches and pains, or just being her cheery self to lift the mood.
