Hilmir Enters The Wood

Korban looks somewhat offended by Hilmir's suggestion, and uses their hands to mimic a small mischievous creature. It seems they're saying that the trick is being played by some sort of pixie or sprite.

As soon as the dirt lands on the stone it starts to glow, and when Dreli speaks it brightens for a second. Now, even with no one speaking it remains softly lit.

When Hilmir says "blow", and Dreli says "air" the ⩯ Stone (Stone 4) lights up for a moment. With this additional clue, Dreli blows on that one instead and it too stays lit.

When Hilmir says the word "water" outloud, the ⍭ Stone (Stone 2) flashes and then dims. Having identified the pattern, he pours a bit out of his canteen gourd and the glow persists.

Korban having understood the pattern as well, starts to look around the area picking up sticks.

As Hilmir says "fire", Stone ⍙ (Stone 3) lights up briefly. The remaining stone with the ⊥ symbol (Stone 5), doesn't react to either of the words.

Korban gets a small fire going and drops a flaming stick on the ⍙ stone resulting in a solid glow.

As Dreli and Hilmir speak, "spirit" and "ghost" seem to make the last stone flicker, but it was quite faint and not as pronounced as the other times the stones reacted to words.

Korban puts their hand on their chin and quietly stares at the last stone pondering.

Korban looks down at their feet for a moment, before gesturing to the woods around them and placing their hand over their heart. Then, they point to the sky and shrug. It appears as though they're saying they've never known anywhere different.

Korban looks at the stone before saying the word "morta". The ⊥ symbol and the stone shine brightly for a moment before dimming again.

Dreli and Hilmir turn to Korban, who looks somber and begins to draw something in the dirt. To the left, a figure standing tall and upright. To the right, a similar looking figure on the ground with a knife sticking out of their back. Korban taps the stick on the drawing on the right and says "morta".

The remaining stone shines brightly once again. Hilmir knows instantly what Korban is saying: death.

When Dreli says "sacrifice" the stone lights up strongly again, same as when Hilmir says "killing".
