• Small metal items (including weapons and armor) become slightly magnetized.

• All spells cast manifest a strange purple mist that incorporates into the magic of the spell—existing spell effects are not affected. The slight mist remains for seconds before rising into the air drifting toward the blot and evaporating.

• A sudden tidal surge hits Riddleport’s harbor. The uncharacteristically large wave causes minor damage as
ships are pushed against the piers and boardwalks strain
under the sudden pressure. Water from the wave reaches
Wharf Street, and several stevedores and beachcombers
are washed out to sea and lost.

• Flocks of sea gulls suddenly take to the air and begin
flying in a growing cacophonous spiral. This continues
for several minutes as large flocks wheel above the city
in ever-gathering numbers. Eventually their erratic
flight brings them into proximity to the Cyphergate where they crash into it violently by the hundreds before the few survivors continue their ragged flight out to sea. For the following 2 days, crushed and broken bird carcasses wash up on the beaches around Riddleport and cluster as flotsam beneath the wharves creating a horrible stench over the south portions of the city.

• A minor temblor strikes the city, causing only a little
damage but shaking everything pretty well for a few
seconds. |

• Every weather vane in Riddleport suddenly turns with a screeching of metal heard all across the port to point directly towards the Blot, even resisting the actual currents of the wind. After 10 minutes or so (during which several weather vanes are snapped off by cross winds to tumble to the steet below), they are suddenly released
from whatever holds them and return to normal.

Day
21 |
• A loud rattling and clatter is heard that proves to be tiny falling objects clattering on the roofs and streets
of the city from a clear sky. At first assumed to be hail,
examination reveals it to be tiny pieces of porous black rock—looking almost volcanic in nature but defying all
identification. This initial storm does no noticeable
damage, but after 2 minutes, the rocks increase in size and begin cracking shingles, ripping awnings, and pelting anyone who remains outside. The bronze dome of the Gold Goblin rings like a bell during the onslaught. This larger hail of stones lasts little more than three minutes. When all is said and done, there are several dozen casualties and hundreds of gold pieces of damage to property and ships. Saul suffers a difficulties in sales for the Gold Goblin. The stones themselves remain for a few more minutes,
covering the ground before they suddenly evaporate into
nothingness. Attempts to classify the material before it
fades meet with failure—the stones feel like granite, but
float in water and are strangely cold to the touch.
