the shrine. (closed to wanda) IS THIS BETTER NOW KIRA

[vecna]

[Visiting a shrine is hardly an oddity these days, routine enough—if driven by curiosity and little else—that it’s not even a novelty. Strange, how even the company has been labeled as familiar, he thinks, with Wanda walking beside them as they reach a small clearing in which a tiny, winding dirt path has led them.

Henry carries a various cutting of flowers and herbs meant for a small offering, ushered this way by the family he’s still staying with. Ever pious, they are. It’s reason enough to pull himself away from the chores and rote routines, so he accepts the task easily enough.

What is strange about today is hard to put into words. A tug at his mental capabilities, an itch at the back of his neck. A ripple in the atmosphere that’s hard to parse for anyone who doesn’t possess psionic powers.

His brow crinkles. Nothing looks terribly out of the ordinary, and yet his step… actually hurries a beat or two. Curious, wondering.]

Do you feel that?

oops, a monster. (ota)

[vecna]

[Long story short: Henry sort-of-accidentally summoned a monster.

It isn't a particularly pleasant thing to look at, and despite its strange anatomy that looks like the wrong bits of people twisted upside-down, it moves on those many limbs quickly. It's fast, and strong, and it is, unfortunately, somehow connected very tenuously to Henry's own subconsciousness. As you do.

This also means it absolutely hates Solvunn's goats.

If you're in or around the Primary Settlement, it isn't unreasonable to think you might run into this disturbing, unworldly thing tearing across fields or even lurking behind homes and their penned-in fences, looking to cause havoc with the local animals... especially if said animals are goat-shaped. If approached, it lets out a terrible sound, rising up and making itself look bigger with outstretched "forelegs". It leaps and tries to pounce on anything that might present itself as a threat, and that does include fellow Summoned who might make an effort to save their precious settlement's goats.

It will attack those who draw too close without hesitation, but it won't go out of its way to inflict violence on either the Summoned or the natives. It really does just hate the goats.

Still, maybe you should help the little guys? Henry sure isn't making an effort.]

(( OOC: There will be a couple of goat casualties, so there is an inherent CW FOR ANIMAL HARM/DEATH in potential threads, but I won't be going into detail. That said, this monster can be injured and shooed away with the right tools and effort. Please refrain from killing it, as it will just run off at the end of this and become part of the Bestiary! c: ))
