Re: Solisand
In reply to Simulacrum (msg # 57):
GM having made the perception roll...Orinastron notices nothing other than the creaking of the trees, rustling of leaves and the constant hum of small creatures, until something very peculiar happens which elicits a cry of astonishment from Orinastron and bleary-eyed waking from everyone else...
A sparkling light suddenly appears a few meters from the camp, a shocking intrusion into the night darkness. It flits and zips about in mid air in a crazy and erratic pattern, gradually trending towards you.
This tinkerbell-fairy light eventually appears right among you, until it alights on a branch just over your heads. Peering at it in astonishment, you realise the light is coming [not from a fairy, but] from a rather large beetle, one that is almost big enough to cover the palm of your hand. It sits there, looking down at you, and then begins to speak in a gravelly voice.
"Efugaste su, ksenoi! Hesolisma kolotha, ktenisa sas, fugaste!"
And no, you have no idea what it is saying...but it is saying it again. Then it flits to another branch...and says it again.
What do you do now?
