Wealth Won at the Spilt Tankard!
The usually rowdy common room of Grizzik Nailtongue’s Spilt Tankard erupted into celebration last night when a few daring souls took part in a magical game of chance. Among them was the notorious bard Dorian, the Serpent’s Lyre, whose silver tongue and silver luck drew quite the crowd. Witnesses describe
“cards that shimmered like starlight and changed their faces between draws.”
To the astonishment of onlookers, Dorian and his companion Diggarius Stoutbrew turned a humble wager into a small fortune. The winnings were shared with Grizzik himself, who was last seen shouting, “Drinks on the house! The Serpent blesses us all!” Patrons poured into the streets, singing bawdy songs until dawn.
Rodent Problem Subsides
“Either the rats have found better food,” said one miller, “or something far worse has scared them off.”
Mysterious Ship in Ratport
“too fine for smugglers, too silent for merchants.”No crew were seen disembarking. The harbormaster’s office refuses comment, though rumors whisper of foreign banners folded away beneath tarps.
Order Seeks Silvertongues
The Order of the White Flame has issued a formal bounty for information regarding two
“silver-tongued charlatans”said to have absconded with a relic left in their care. A sealed notice pinned to the chapel doors in Kavan reads:
Locals speculate the description matches the two celebrated gamblers from the Spilt Tankard, though Grizzik dismissed such talk with a snort:
“My lads steal hearts, not holy trinkets.”
