====== 2023-01-03 ====== ===== Dorian ===== * Whistlers don't want us to kill the exiles, but won't stop us * Foresters call the Exiles "Culty Bastards" because: some of them can't leave the area, some believe its a cult reason * 600 years ago, the Great Fracture happened, which was the last known person we can think of who was exiled, though unlikely related to these Exiles * Fern has a brother named Fenn who is the Green Speaker by the Delamore family area * Whistlers had a rope with a silver thread woven into it * Silver thread is something they don't have a word for in non Whistler speak. It is something of Creation Thread, made from the Green *Fern and Eamon performed a ritual to protect the camp, binding the party and the designated guards * Ritual required three drops of each of our blood * Dorian sees the world as threads for a moment when the ritual takes place * Afterwards, he can see threads connecting everyone in the camp, notices something is wrong, but then it all goes away * The sensation was of something missing, like something being violently ripped away and the wound is yet to be healed. * The threads in the rope and the world were strange yet familiar * While within the bounds of the outpost, Dorian has advantage on all medicine and insight checks on anyone in the camp * The Whistlers stayed for lunch * Fern warned us of Hounds Heads, a forest creature that wanders out from the Forest occassionally that we may encounter * They have many mouths, and have hands to grab things. Viscous, and hunt in packs * Avery doesn't know what a cat is, and apparently never saw a dog before Shuck * She was enamored by grass, which is also weird
