Charon mentioned something about Thistle planning to go into the mists. Before you do, you should know there's something out there that inflicts a curse if it bites you.
Fantasia got bit. Every night, it turned him into a beast that attacked everything indiscriminately. We were busy subduing him in the barn the night before the ritual started . . .
The cure is a flower that only grows out in the mists. If the cure isn't administered quickly, the transformation can become permanent. Stormy wasn't exactly clear on how long "quickly" is, so I wouldn't mess around with that timeframe.
If you do go out there, take special care not to let anything break skin. It's contagious once someone is cursed, so just one person being infected could spread it to the rest of you. And maybe bring back a supply of those flowers, just in case . . .
[I'm sorry he's LORE FAMILIAR with a lot of basic mythology, so--]
Is it wolfsbane?
[that aside. . .]
. . . we'll keep it in mind, though. We've been out in the mist before, but since we were following Red, the path we took was devoid of any werewolves.
. . . Blood Fiend brought up the possibility of stealing a golden statue from the demon ram's den. Thistle would like to follow through with that plan, though we're not so stupid as to just go barging into the mist without any resources.
I don't think we'll do anything while the eye is open, but I think we can use this opportunity to start preparing for another excursion to the demon ram's cave.
Give someone a heads up when you're heading out, just to be safe. We'll be fine here in the pasture, ritual or no; it's you guys I'm most worried about.

Was that beast a wolf?

What's your plan for this go-around?

What's the significant of the statue, though?
no subject
But. . . I think they were former "sacrifices."
no subject
That's . . . grim.

[WHY IS IT LIKE THIS INDEED]
There have been plenty of allusions to there being a group of people here long before us. There's a chance that those statues are those people.
So if we can. . . "liberate" one from that demon's lair, then maybe we'll be able to find out more about what happened in the past.
no subject
. . . That demon seems pretty vengeful and uppity about his sacrifices, though, so I'd expect retaliation.

[the driest laughter Minuet has ever heard]
We'll take that into account in our plans. The last thing I want is for the other teams to suffer for our heist.

Charon already made me promise to let both you and him know when we put our plan into motion, so I intend to follow that through.

Thanks. And if you need anything, just say something. I know it's not everyone's style around here, but I'm not tracking debts.
