Rumors at the Tavern

[eggshen]

Gossip in Sshamath tells of a group of people, several of which were masked surfacers, that led an assault on Sshamath, killing dozens of house guards and city guards.

Theories about their presence are varied, but nothing has been confirmed, for after destroying a regiment of guards at the foot of Lolth's alter, they apparently left the city.

People are calling for the Conclave to step up city defenses, since it seems Sshamath is ripe for the picking.

The rumor mill has been working overtime, it seems.

The newest revolve around the appearance of a Dragon in the underdark west of Varalla's Passage. Xas, a dragon. Fear not, though, a group of strangers, most hooded and masked, made short work of it.

Other people whisper of an old bald human accompanying a posse into Sshamath, which is perhaps not cause for alarm, but the fact that illithid and beholders both saw fit to attack them while in Sshamath is a bit strange.
