Zeva, most definitely not a knight. Elyse curls up for bed, with a creeping thought, could mother be Zeva's blade?

Zeva, wake me at third watch. as she doses off to sleep.

The sword looks normal enough but there are tales of intelligent, possessed, and cursed weapons. There are also crazy people. However not all such items can be heard/understood by others. Other than an odd mode of speech from Zeva, Elyse has little to go on without a closer inspection of the weapon in question.

Zeva spends the night sharpening the blade and staring out over the dark abyss of night.

Gonna assume I should roll here?

Judy takes first watch and Hazel agrees to take last watch as she is used to waking early. You all make what accommodations you can and settle down for the night. Several hours later Judy nudges Zeva awake and quickly takes her spot next to to the others muttering something vague about animal movement but no danger. Zeva settles back to hone her discipline and remain alert. She too hears some movement in the tall grass but the sounds seem to be avoiding the camp....

This continues throughout Zeva's watch with an increase in activity but always stopping and retreating anytime it gets near to the campsite.

Zeva places a hand on her hilt. She squints into the darkness. Gets closer to the rest of the party to nudge them awake.

Zeva can't spot whatever it is but some careful listening indicates there are multiple things moving through the tall grass in the dark. You are uncertain but you think they are not big or small. Bigger than a dog but smaller than a pony . . . They move alone or in groups and seem more heavily concentrated or frequent in one particular direction.

Zeva nudges the rest awake with her hilt, and unsheathes the blade. There are groups of fleshes here. Malicious is unknown. Wield your weapons.

She pulls out her torch while this is happening, lighting it so there's more visibility.

As you light the torch and it sputters to life, spreading its light abroad, a rustling noise indicates a creature retreating deeper into the tall grass from nearby.
OOC:
If there are anymore 3/w players in the new group I will either merge them with you immediately or pull them in later.

Elyse rises out of her sleeping roll. She uses her spell touched trait and ties to create 6 floating candles around the camp and draws her short sword.

With the additional light from Elyse you get a clearer view but by this time all sounds of nearby motion have faded. Hazel draws nervously closer to Tiny, who seems unbothered by any of this comotion though she does stir as you add aditional lights. July stands ready with weapon drawn and asks what is next?

As you stand watching and listening a you hear something aproaching through th grass along the pathway vaguely visible from your own passage hours ago. As it nears you determine it is one or two creature and likely not that large, though this one is making more noise than the Zeva had heard perviously.

In mere moments the grass parts to reveal an insect larger than Elyse. It walks on it's 4 hindmost legs and stands now motionless at the edge of the clearing aound you with it forelegs, hands?, slowly raising higher and wide as it stares at you. Taking a slow step forwards you all feel a word or question enter your minds Peace?

Elyse feels the word in her mind and relaxes a bit and lowers her sword. What do you seek?

A series of word impressions flits though your minds
Peace, space, food, home, knowledge
And I slowly wants it's hands side to side. Then a more structured set of words
We grow, we learn, we build.

You here why?

We were caught in the storm and sought shelter. We will be on our way in the morning... Is that ok with you.

A vague sense of non-aggression and something akin to two creatures staying on opposite sides of a hill/river or other divide. There is a short pause as its antennae stiffen then it project into your minds once again. You travel from home/nest to breed/ / create new nest / spread lineate to foreign nest?

Zeva's hand shifts away from the hilt. Reproduction is not a possibility for metal, sticked flesh. One travels to find a grave.

The antennae twitch again You go to seek dead creature? Why? To consume their flesh? Or perhaps pay respects to honored ancestor?
Aug 3, 2024 6:02 am
To rest Mother upon the dead flesh's chest. It is Mother's wish. Zeva tilts her head. So it shall be. Does the sticked flesh recognise this blade? She raises her sword, blade tilted away from the sticked flesh.
