Game 20 - Separated

[arsgoetia]

After talking with the traveling group, Maon leads you some ways up the path again to regroup and talk without being overheard. You all got some information from the party—they aren't from here, they're on the move, and although of course they'd love to give up their sweet camping spot so a Daoine Sìth like Maon could help his good friend Vincent have a birthday party, unfortunately the dragon that lives in the nearby mansion hoards music and musicians, and any group here having a proper revel is likely to get snapped up.

You may have noticed that you're missing your shadow again, along with your fussbird and Elluka. Those with superhearing had heard a brief burst of hearttuggingly beautiful music box music, quickly cut off.

Oh, and now those people with superhearing are hearing a voice distant in the woods, "Were you the source of the sound we just heard? Or should we be looking further afield?"

It sounds like there's no signs of a fight. What do you try to do?

That'd be messed up.

You seem to have, for the most part, decided to go towards the voices, which are in turn, apparently going towards the mansion.

You start to proceed through the woods, more-or-less as a group, vaguely following the direction of where it seems Sariel last was—but now the voices have stopped.

Are you planning to crash the party? Be stealthy? —well, either way, you seem to have a shadowy guest racing to return to you.

*not outpacing the rest of the party, so it's pretty easy to catch up by now*

[redetermined]

Yeah, let's try to be stealthy.

[wrongstory]

That's kind of you, but I think it's better saved for more pressing times.

Oh! I am so sorry, but we must go-- they are taking them to the castle.

All right. If you want anything later just let me know, ah, "my lord."

People with hats and blood, who say they are "Mianythoth's forces".

Cys! There you are. What's going on?

[digitalemperor]

What happened?

(frozen comment) Re: [On The Move]

[wrongstory]

Why are they being taken? Is the dragon Mianythoth?

(frozen comment) Re: [On The Move]

[star_and_stone]

*well, looks like we've got us a destination*

Tell us what happened. How many of them were there, and what did they look like? Did Sariel and Luka go willingly?

(frozen comment) Re: [On The Move]

[tenebrat]

[ WAT ]

There is a dragon? Mianythoth is the lord of the mansion, they said.

(frozen comment) Re: [On The Move]

[playfair]

Are we going—to the castle then? Or are you saying we need to go somewhere else instead??

(frozen comment) Re: [On The Move]

[tenebrat]

They have taken-- Sariel, and Elluka. I came back to get you all.
