Re: The Hundred Acres Wood
Neya jumps and snaps at the orb and nearly snatches it in her mouth, but it is too fast for her to catch. Meanwhile, Stan, Porto, and Garret stare at the orb and wrack their brains, trying to figure out what it is. After a moment of watching the wolf toy with the strange object, Garret snaps his fingers loudly.
“It’s a memory!” he exclaims, but can see by the look on everyone’s face that he will need to further explain. “Something happened here, and the area is marked—imprinted if you will—with its memory. Sometimes, according to legend, those memories can take physical form—especially if strong magic is involved. If one of us were to catch it, then he would be able to witness the memory.”
Shirok and Roth examine the remains. It isn’t hard for the druid to conclude that the remains are from a single individual, although they appear to be from a man and donkey at first glance. The man must have had the head of a donkey. The area is a prime location for decomposition, and signs have been long lost due to the lack of flesh, tissue, and personal effects; however Shirok is able to see by the weathering on the bones that they have been here a long, long time—several years at the very least. If he had to assign them a number of years exposed, he feels confidently in his guess that they’ve been here for 10-years.
