As you pass, you see someone has carved faces into the tree. You suddenly realise that they look remarkably like you! "Good craftsmanship. I wonder who we met on our travels who would bother?" Well, Kuublu is inclined to the right side. If everyone is done admiring their carvings.... Dreadnought wrote: Pulgil has been travelling with the others in silence. But the carvings intrigue her. She will examine the carving of the face that looks like hers very carefully, looking for toolmarks to see if it shows signs of normal carving or something else. There are woodshapers where she comes from, and the best of them are sometimes rumoured to use magic in their work.
OOC: Player has been too ill to participate for a while. Now much better and intending to be active. WodenKrait wrote: I too linger to inspect the carvings. This seems suspicious and I suspect some kind of illusion.
OOC: Are the renderings old or fresh? Ammu: The carvings are fresh and expertly crafted, there is a slight trace of sorcery about them but it is even now fading to nothing.....wait...it has just flared to life again....is it coming from within the tree? Hellbrandt wrote: Disconcerted just a little by the carvings, Mthunzi loosens his sword in it's scabbard and heads down the right path with Kuublu... The companions make to leave then note that both Kuublu and Pulgil have paused to stare at the carvings with rapt expressions, their feet rooted to the floor. Even as they have just registered this event they then see the astonishing sight of the carvings begin to move...and speak, their voices strange caricatures of your own. " Mthunzi " speaks, " Dont worry boss! I'm a sneaky bastard, nobody can spot me! Here I go! Sneak, sneak, sneak, look, look,look. Hey, Boss! I looked and sneaked! Can I have a treat now...give me a treat or I'll gut you like a fish....I mean...uh, sure thing, boss!"" Ammu" speaks, " Woe is me....everyones dead...Woe....I'm gonna drown myself in pity....well, I was a useless husband and father anyway...oh! Heres a princely patron! I'll hitch myself to him...some money will fall out eventually...."" Chiemeka" speaks, " I hope no one knows my secret. Cos I got one! Its a big one! Ah! The pointy teeth! Runs away, Runs away.....buy your ju-ju here! Fresh ju-ju....Run away! Run away!"" Pulgil" speaks, " Ew! Its all wrinkly! I'm not touching that! I'm gonna stomp off into the woods and no-one will find me! Where am I? I'll just keep stomping...stomp, stomp, stomp...Where am I? A road? I'll stomp down that...stomp, stomp, stomp"" Kuublu" speaks, " Just for once, I would like to cook for myself and take care of myself, dress myself, wipe my own backside. I will go to visit my cousins, tra, la, la, la...everyone is so nice to me....ah, its all so quaint! Oh, look I have friends! tra, la, la, la.....I hope I get to stab something soon!"OOC:
