OOC:
Okay Carric without actually investigating it you are going to have some unknown circular space that might have been composed of stones for as stated the debris masks much of what it is -- your character just noted the fairly perfect circular area within the trees which is what caught his attention as that usually does not occur on its own. So did you wish to investigate it or just leave it as a vague circular area that might be composed of stones or have stones in it?

Note I am okay either way -- I just present the stuff its up to you guys to decide whether to do anything with it or not

Given more thought about the circle as he spends his time, Carric will investigate the circle to determine its origins or purpse.

As Carric begins to sift through the debris and unmask what is hidden he finds that there are eight octagonal black stones fairly evenly spaced from one another perhaps about six feet apart and maybe about twenty feet from a stone that is directly opposite. The top of each octagonal stone is flat and perhaps a foot across or a little less with a one inch deep octagonal depression in the center that is maybe three inches across. The stones then widen as they go down but without a shovel or some magic getting to the bottom of one would take a long time. However the stones do seem either fixed or just to heavy to be moved. Also the sides of these stones are covered in some kind of sigils that Carric is unfamiliar with. Still it is obvious these are not natural due to the flatness of the surfaces and the sharpness of the corners but who made them and why?

Carric will ponder that as he heads back to the garrison. Surely they will be there another day, since it appears the area had not been touched for a while. He will head back and find Ashton for the evening meal.

Ashton and Carric eventually meet up within the Garrison for the evening meal.

Carric will find a seat at the table with Ashston. How was your performance?

Good first show! Drew a little crowd, didn’t show off too much. It an odd thing, I could put on the show of a lifetime and not turn a single head off it wasn’t what people want to see. Performing is more about your audience then you and I have always been fascinated by the things that move people, and in more case then not it turns out to be anything but what you would think. Ashton will pause for just a second then shake his head slightly ending his inter perspective moment How was your stroll?

OOC:
I don't have an option to "post as" in my reply box. Perhaps character needs to be resubmitted/accepted?
Almthu walks in to the mess hall, looking to join those in his caravan. Southbridge was still on his mind, but the thought of it served to ground him rather than to peck at his conscience.

Spotting Ashton and Carric, he approaches and says without a greeting, "How's the grub? I'm starving."
OOC:
Fixed now, thanks!

My bad character accepted it should work now

Its not half bad. You been finding your way around alright? I just finished up a little show, decent turn out for a first night.
Ashton says while making room on the "bench?" for Almthu to sit at.
OOC:
I don't know if we each have a stool or if its a bench scenario at the table

Even for an Yroc Almthu was large, standing nearly 8' tall and weighing over 400 lbs. He stared at the seat dubiously, but exhaustion won out over engineering analysis, so he plopped his heaping plate on the table and sat.

Almthu grunts, And to think, people pay to watch you! I've been here less than a minute, and I'm willing to pay to NOT look at you! His voice had the same guttural sound common to his people, but many found the focus on annunciation unusual.

Okay they use half barrels for seats as they stack easily and/or a plank on a couple of half-barrels for a bench at a table of a similar design. However, considering the trestle tables and benches accommodate human sized folk (the majority of the guard) I am assuming you are using a more accommodating arrangement of half barrels for sitting and table space(s).

I understand its hard for some to take in and admire my level of excellence free of jealousy. Ashton says with a wink. Have you received an assignment? If I'm not to much to bear I am sure we would love your assistance on ours if your available.
Jan 19, 2021 1:28 am
No assignment, I decided to check in with you first. I figured you were either in need of rescue or in need of food. Looks like I chose well. Tell me, what do we have in store?

Trying to figure out if the property that has been getting damaged on the farms to the south is all connected and if so what is causing it or if it’s just misfortune. We also just made a friend here in the Garrison who will be going us torture to try and find out what happened to his friend in the woods. We have asked around town and not gotten much information but thought going to investigate the missing Hunter might lead to some clues or leads.

Seems as a good a place to begin as any, Almthu said around a enormous mouthful of food.

And what of you Carric? Any news?

I needed a break from the congestion of this place so I found a small copse of trees outside town. It was great to be among the Wild. I did find an old, odd-looking circle of stones in the copse. It may have been a ritual site, but from the state of growth, it did not appear to be used any time recently.
Jan 20, 2021 1:12 pm
What were the stones made of? Anything carved into them or were they polished smooth?
Jan 20, 2021 4:04 pm
OOC:
As a local, would Almthu have any knowledge of these stones found by Carric?

The stones were black. There were symbols I've never seen before on each of the stones.
