Last session, my PCs were at a Very Fancy Party in Sharn. They are Inquisitives, and were invited for doing a job that benefitted a noble of the Sixty, so he invited them. One of the PCs threw down a Gather Info check and rolled a 16. Now, normally I wouldn't think much of it, but the PC spent an action point on it because of where they are. So I feel I should put some effort into it, at least a little. What the PC is looking for is rumors. Anything that they could use to their advantage, either 1) dirt on someone, or 2) something that would lead to a possible case. What I am looking for is just suggestions of various rumors that would fill these roles. The only thing I ask that you avoid are "X is sleeping with Y/committing adultery". Namely because that's an element of the overarching plot that I foreshadowed last setting.

Perhaps he's been replaced by a changeling. HEHEH good laughs all around" "Noble Z's young son has been spending far too much time in the Firefly district if you know what I mean? No no Gambling. Boy can't get enough. I fear his father will have to cut him off. And if he keeps it up his debtors may cut something of his off." "Lady X: I hear Noble A replaced his Deneith Mercenaries with Tharashk Ogres after one of his carvans was robbed. That seems to happen more and more doesn't it? Well I'd certainly not attack a caravan guarded by those beasts. I just don't trust those filthy monsters. Probably set up the trouble themselves. Or Tharashk they're too ambitious. I do hope someone manages to catch the bandits. I'm sure Deneith would reward them handsomely" "Lady Y is wearing a dress that is terribly out of date. I've heard she's having financial difficulty. Oh Dear." "Lady Z has taken terribly ill. So far Jorasco doesn't seem to be doing much. Dreadful simply dreadful."
gensuke626 06-24-07, 07:12 PM	To continue Shady's suggestions: "Did you hear the rumor about Lord X? There's talk going around town that he's harboring some kind of fugitive of that dreadful Cult of Vol. I never quite trusted him, you know? Karrnathi blood does run in his family." "Don't speak it too loudly, but I heard that Lady X's daughter fell in love with a Shifter! A Hrazak player no less! Wouldn't surprise me in the least if the two eloped." "Where is Sir Y tonight?" "I hear that he's been spending the past few nights locked up in his study with some trinket from Xen'drik." "Did you hear what happened to the Inspired Ambassador from Sarlona? Dreadful news. They found him in Tumbledown babbling about his master being missing or somesuch nonsense." And if 23 Lharvion is coming up. "Did you hear what happened to the gargoyle, Carryleg or whatever it's name is? Someone tried to kill the beast." "Dreadful, simply dreadful. I wouldn't be sad if it were to disappear though. Afterall, I'm sure that such a beast could easily be replaced with something more suitable for those districts...a flying squirrel perhaps?"
