The Rumor Mill - Week 24

My current campaign centers around the Heroes of Fellport, so let's hear what people on the street are saying about them for week 24 of The Rumor Mill. The Fellport Council bestowed the title on three original party members after recovering the Scepter of Light, but other members have joined since then. Romantic rumors abound, though not much has happened since they've been gone for the past few weeks. Krannock let slip that they were heading to Dragon Peak to bring the dragons back as of three days ago, but nobody knows how that's going, nor exactly which side to root for.

So let's take a listen at the bars in town and learn what people think about these misfit adventurers known as the Heroes of Fellport.

1d8	Rumor	True?
1	Krannock Steelshanks returned after bringing the Heroes to Dragon Peak.	Yes1
2	I don't envy Barak Emberborn. He dated Lydianna, but he's been gone a while.	Maybe2
3	Ashley Macmillan seems really busy since Eretha left. Trouble in paradise?	No3
4	Watch out for Toryn at the Philosopher's Stone. He cheats at cards.	Maybe4
5	Howl stands to inherit the Amaryllis Estate, but she doesn't have business sense.	Yes5
6	Ada of Misplaced Wishes and Lozu got friendly just after the Festival.	Maybe6
7	Heroes of Fellport? More like lucky moochers running overfunded expeditions.	No7
8	The Heroes had formal clothes made at Burberry & Haviland. Why?	Yes8

1 - He downplays the fact that Mariel (Moloch's Chosen) stole his soul and used him in her army until the Heroes freed him.
2 - Nobody knows exactly how Lydia will react, so either he'll need to work off some guilt, or they'll be closer than ever.
3 - Ashley talked with the entire party before they left, and she's been working on a few goodies for them in their absence.
4 - He mostly plays clean, but he's not above occasionally using sleight of hand to encourage the cards to cooperate with him.
5 - Howl is still young for a half-elf, so she has time to learn. She's an adventuring twilight cleric, so she might refuse the job.
6 - There's nothing romantic there, if that's what you mean. It's not often two psionics end up in the same place at the same time.
7 - They restored the Light Spire, protected the Festival of Magic, and closed the gate on the Isle of Darkness. Hush, you.
8 - They went to a formal dinner at the Amaryllis Estate. Rumor has it that Oya Stormqueen and her crew also attended.
