"Guys, this is a lot of meat we would be leaving behind. Last night wasn't so bad here- maybe we should stay another night. It's actually kinda home-like here."

Johnsan's insistence on staying begins to sound strange to Brother Irwin's ears. "Johnsan," he says cautiously. "Would you tell us what happened last night when you were out in the wild? How did you come by the deer?" he repeats the question.

Also, as an aside. I'm not going to PUSH you to move or stay. I'm okay with the RP extending out if it's actually interesting to everyone. If you feel that it starts getting stagnant, say so. I will as well. But I'm not going to put a limit on it at any time.

"We can bring it to our village. The people there will appreciate the food and we can continue on our way after. It will assuredly last that long." A gift for the home town was better than staying here, indeed, if pressed she’d rather it spoil than stay here and Johnsan was starting to sound strange.
"Think about it Johnsan, the people here left for a so called feast and now you want us to stay and for what? A feast? Or is there something else here, some spirit, or ancient evil? I don’t trust it and neither should you. So, everyone else are we agreed to leaving, taking the deer meat we can’t keep back home, then heading out or do we stay here in this haunted and abandoned place?

"I agree." Oxana says returning from the creek where she's just finished washing up. She takes Tatianna's hand and gives it a squeeze of solidarity before looking at the young men opposite and nodding firmly. "This village is cursed and remaining here longer than is absolutely necessary will certainly bring the misfortune of the gods or the fae down upon us."
Oxana looks at Tatianna still holding her hand, "We should pack up what we can and leave, taking the deer and the news of this place back home."
"The elders will most certainly want to know what happened here."

Jorgen silently watches the group prepare the meat, discussing the plans. He keeps his opinions to himself, observing how everyone is pushing Johnsan to speak about his time alone last night.
It all seems strange to him, and he worries about the distrust that has already crept into the group

"You'll never guess where I found this deer! The was a small watering hole out in the woods near the town, and there were so many animals at it! This was just the one I brought back, but we should go grab a few more if we are going back to the town. Follow me!"
With that, Johnsan sets off in the direction he went yesterday, not looking back to see if anyone followed. His words are still slightly out of sync with his mouth, but he seems genuinely excited.

Brother Irwin gapes as the hunter strides out the door without a further word, the half-butchered deer seemingly no longer a concern to him. What has gotten into the man? A glance at the others show the two women looking as discomfited as Brother Irwin feels, though Jorgen remains unfazed. Muttering a prayer, the scribe heads towards the door after Johnsan's retreating back. He waves for the trio to hurry.

"That was odd right? Maybe we should stop him…" She hesitated at the door unsure if she was ready for a confrontation with Johnsan or, whatever was controlling him.

"Johnsan!" Oxana shouts as he rushes off, "Hells." She curses, "We should definitely not let him rush off alone."
Gathering up her skirts she chases after her friend. "Let's see if we can't save him from his own madness Tatianna."

Seeing Brother Irwin set off to follow he feels the urgent need to protect him, and doesn’t hesitate in rushing after him.
"Brother, have a care. Johnsan is use to the outdoors and…and, I think, strange. Let us be cautious."

"Thank you," Brother Irwin says to Jorgen. The gratitude is heartfelt - he has no wish to wander after Johnsan on his lonesome, let alone when the man seems taken by such a mood. "Going our separate ways here would not be a wise idea, I think."
The scribe cups his hands around his mouth. "Johnsan! Slow down, please!"

Suddenly, as you're all trying to keep up with Johnsan ahead of you, he comes crashing through a line of trees to your left, dragging along a young woman with him. She seems to be in a stupor, not responding to anything. Meanwhile, up ahead of you, the figure you've been following is suddenly less distinct, and if you try to look directly at him, he vanishes from your view. This fact alone makes it hard for you to chase him, but his clothes have also changed, and he blends in with the forest better than he did a few moments ago.

Johnson passes the semi-conscious girl he is carrying to the nearest person and tries to get everyone to leave immediately. His voice is in sync this time, and he seems terrified.

"What the hells?" Oxana asks pulling the girl's arm around her neck, "What is going on Johnsan? Was it the fae? Who was that we were following? A tree spirit?"
She heads back to the house they were smoking the meat in. "Is this meat even," she makes a face, "gods I really hope it was a deer."

"I know not who you were following, only that I was lured and chased by savage ice men with hypnotizing magic. I managed to escape and bring one of their prisoners with me- we may get more information from her in time."
Johnson looks over at the smoke house. "You say you caught a deer? Where did you find it?"

You get back to the lodge you were staying at and quickly gather your gear. When you go to take a look at the deer, though... Well. It was meat. But now you're glad you didn't get it smoked all the way to be able to eat it, for what is hanging above the smoker is an old, fat, man. You're not sure what reviles your senses more, the way the man looks after being half-smoked, or the fact that it still smells good enough to eat.
Do you take time to cut him down or is it simply time to flee?
