Dope Seekers: Wheelbarrow and Rumours

What’s up in Wheelbarrow?

+ the ghosts of wheelbarrow – Around midnight each night the village gets visited by spectral shapes singing a terrible sort of melody (loudly), before disappearing in a bright flash of light. The whole display takes about half an hour, and the ghosts frequent different locations each night. This has been going on for quite some time. The villagers would love anyone who can make the ghosts leave!

+ expedition into the mountains – A poet is preparing for an expedition going east. She’s very secretive but promises “fame and glory in case of return”. The poet has been preparing for several weeks now, apparently finding brave adventurers has proven difficult. Maybe she’ll loose interest if no one more signs up.

+ lost mercenaries by the pond – Several weeks ago, a group of merchants hired mercenaries for a mission by the pond, just north of the village. Last week the same merchants offered money to anyone willing to deliver a message to said mercenaries. Now the merchants have left wheelbarrow, and the mercenaries have not returned.

Rumours about the Rendor Region

+ The piker gangs of Rendor Sawtooths deal in a stimulating substance known as Brick Junk – it’s rumoured to pack a punch!
+ You’ll get drunk on a single drop of altitude baboon blood.
+ All trihorn shepards (sheparding triceratops) sell dope. Just ask anyone!
+ Someone has started a raptoid (compsognthus) farm on an island in the Moon Mirror lake. Now this i gotta see!
+ Apparently the hotsprings just a days walk from Glorious Hiroi are an awesome experience, with healing and even wish granting abilities!
+ Hotep is a good place to live if you’re a Goblin.
+ Watchout for aeroraptors (pteradactyles)! Stick to the cross roads* !

* In the Yokto Valley large crosses stand along the main roads – excellent for fending off the swooping attacks of aeroraptors!
