DM summarizes events starting with the fight in the stone circle in the city, Cricket’s death.
Chord tones may be tied to what we’re talking about. Chord tones, ratios, fibonacci, etc.
Remembrances:
- The Boatman said the black lake was a prison. Are we under the lake?
- There was a statue in the north west of the city that Krambler hit with the hammer, and a bell tolled.
These statues are not the same make of the statue in the city. These shapes are naturally forming, not handiwork. The statue in The Waterfall City is certainly the work of an excellent craftsman.
In the last things the statues said to us, they mentioned the “sun husband”. This calls to mind the Red Blade, and so Storr reads us the Red Blade Illuminated Manuscript story.
There’s mention of a beast that was made of plants, twigs, woods of the forest. B has a ring that grants him that.
We also fought a tree, but that might not be directly related.
The Abbot died in that scenario with our encounter with the Red blade.
Are the sounds the statue’s reactions to what we say? There was a cacophony when Krambler hit one. The sounds though are on the wind and we can’t really interpret them.
Storr thinks the wind is pretty.
Silas and B hear some of the tones there’s a level of 5 voices weaving together on the wind. The wind is coming from the north-north-west. Some other voices are in it that sound deeper, fully tones. The 5 though seem like a more concerted effort.
Bal senses (with a 29) that the 5 are corralling the other voices. They are holding this place together. The other ones are more menacing, maybe more related to the inmates of the dungeon, though the sounds dont seem to be coming from the stones. The 5 voices are saying something as in a language, perhaps like a spell of some kind. B also hears 3 of the voices to be coming from the stones in front of us.
This lake is much smaller and very shallow. More of an alpine bog than a lake.
Did we notice any Constellations in the sky? Nate will get back to us. Late Sept early Oct sky.
Storr questions the old crone (ancient version of herself): “The figure to our west, who is that?”
She makes a noise that is uninterpretable.
Storr recalls the basin with the writing. There was a hand that reached out for Krambler’s hammer. Is the western statue that wanted the hammer the same as the hand coming from the basin?
Silas asks Seren if we can find these prisoners. She says others have done so to their disadvantage.
Where are your two other colleagues? We’re not sure.
Are they missing? All children leave their parents.
Where does the path lead? The path leads to Nyth.
“Nyth is the world about you.”
Is tehre anyone else we should take to?
“They’re (the other statues) here for a reason, and not because they played nicely.”
What sin did you commit to find yourselves here?
They say they were defeated and banished from elsewhere but had been here in their role as jailers and so this is one of the places that they stayed.
These three would say that the other statues aside from them are the prisoners. The three would say they are trapped somewhat willingly. They’re here, not upset, but they’re willing to make the choice, but also don’t have a choice.
Storr doesn’t trust them. They want the hammer. They’ve never answered a question.
As she says this, a stark silhouette appears off to the northeast and approaches us.
B: What ho stranger?
A voice like storr’s: Why should I trust voices calling to me from the dark? Speak! Who are you?
B: We are travelers that are here by happenstance. (We introduce ourselves). What is your name?
She refuses to answer. “A blade will solve this.”
A man also appears when B started calling her names.
WE FIGHT
Highlights
- Storr feels an uncomfortable resemblance to this woman
- Man looks uncomfortably like Bal
- Bal takes down the man, and he feels a waried curiosity
- Storr’s twin seems to take opportunity attracts whenever she’s attacked
- Storr tries to impart upon a now beared-out Silas that the bear should not attack her
- Someone else shows up (a horned being) and rushes over with a whip
- The green guy grapples the bear with vegetation
- At one point he takes out an obsidian dagger
- Storr graciously attacks the greenery trapping our bear. Arthyden was heard to say: “Oh bother.”
- While the dwarf and bear rolls leave much to be desired, Bal ends up killing everybody methodically and in turn
