For our VI community members, the previous post features a gif of a man dressed in furs and holding an axe walking to the edge of tall grass and then getting riddled with multiple dozens of arrows. He drops dead and looks like he doesn't have a square inch of the front of his body without an arrow in it from face to feet. The accuracy is impressive, as no arrows seem to have missed.
Re: For Humor
He obviously had zero perception. Pretty accurate.

[Haiban, Founder's Square] (gathering spot) (OutUr) [temperate] Mild, Overcast, Calm
A small garden surrounds a large bronze #statue in the middle of the square. Shaded #benches are placed around the #statue, interspersed with a variety of flowering plants. Directly opposite the #statue, against the mountains, is a large #establishment and a four-story #tower. Both are clearly upscale, based on their facades.
There is a small crowd of people here. The area is mostly quiet.
Also here: Tamsin (lying on some benches) and a dusky gray warhorse.
Obvious paths: west, north, south.

You loudly whisper, "PSSSSST."
You loudly whisper, "Do you like pie?"

Tamsin gets up off some benches.
Tamsin stares.
Tamsin heads into a four-story tower.
A young couple stops to inspect the statue, making hushed comments to each other.

Speaking to you, Zoe exclaims, "If you want to capture a zoe.. all you got to do, is leave something shiny, on some sort of mechanism.. with a cage above, a zoe is garenteed to, pick the something shiny up, and cause the cage to fall, and.. well, then captured!"

TANGLEWOOD RETREAT

Maina says, "Looks violent.."
You nod.
You peer down a dirt and gravel road leading deep into the woods and see ...
[Tanglewood Trail] (OutFrFlDt) [temperate] Mild, Fair, Calm
Several large wagons have been positioned along the road to block any means of access. One of the
wagons sits on the ground without any wheels. Arrows, spears, and wood pikes clutter the area
infront of the blockade. Behind the wagons the forest has been cleared and leveled to form a wide
road heading northeast.
You have trouble seeing in the low light. The area is mostly quiet.
Obvious paths: northeast, the wilderness.
Speaking to Alila, you ask, "Do you know if there are any useful herbs in there?"
Alila glances at a dirt and gravel road leading deep into the woods.
Alila quietly asks, "Um, it is difficult to say--the resen there are dangerous. But maybe,
Maeriwyn?"
Alila apologetically admits, "I have never truly looked."

You are followed by Alila, Maina and a dark brown mule.

The first Octum Ghost sighting
Fausta grins at Zoe.
a mangy brown hound heads south.
(Zoe walks over to zeldryn and tilts her flask over him.)
(Zeldryn just opens his mouth, tips his head back, and uses one of the eyes of the ghost costume to drink as much as he can as it soaks him.)
Zoe exclaims, "Here lies ghosty number 3, who thought he could get away with haunting us and the town, may he drink this brandy and be forever remember, for his evil deeds and the like!"
You adopt an agreeable expression.
You solemnly intone, your voice muffled by your costume, "Gods rest his sheet."
Light winds stir the air.
You stand up.
Roundtime: 1 second.
You're feeling hungry.
Zoe exclaims, "And and.. he was loved and will surely be missed, by the family of 13 he left behind!"
Aeri arrives from the north.
a mangy brown hound arrives from the south.
(Zeldryn makes ghost noises.)
(Aeri looks around, then faints.)
Light winds stir the air.
You see Aeri.
She is about six and a half feet tall and appears to be young. She has wavy waist-length fiery red hair and piercing green eyes. Her skin is ashen and her body's build is average.
Her right eye is lightly damaged.
Her head is scraped.
Her chest is scraped.
Her abdomen is scraped.
Her right arm is scraped.
Her right leg is scraped.
She is wearing a small clear crystal pendant, a horn-clasped doeskin pack, a mottled green wool cloak draped over a long-sleeved bone white wool blouse, a pair of back-laced dark brown wool leggings bound by a carved dark oak cincher with a haft-frog carrying a copper logging axe attached and some rabbit fur ankle-boots.
Open containers: a mottled green wool cloak, a haft-frog and a horn-clasped doeskin pack
You blink at Aeri.
You glance at Zoe.
Zoe exclaims, "These ghosts are a real problem in this town!"
You glance at Fausta.
Speaking to you, Zoe exclaims, "It wasnt me!"
(Zeldryn creeps slowly over to the fainted Aeri, leaning down ominously.)
Fausta says, "I didn't do it."
Zoe says, "Well, kinda, perhaps it was the smell of the brandy.."
Speaking to Aeri, you loudly whisper, your voice muffled by your costume, "Boo."
(Aeri shrieks.)
(Zeldryn wobbles around ominously, brandy clearly staining his costume.)
a mangy brown hound heads east.
You quietly rasp, your voice muffled by your costume, "Long have I lingered. Long have I suffered."
(Zoe attempts to trip zeldryn as he wobbles around.)
(Zeldryn is promptly tripped.)
You lie down.
Speaking to you, Zoe exclaims, "Linger more, and suffer more!"
Speaking to Aeri, Zoe exclaims, "There there, I'll protect you from the nasty ghosts!"
(Zeldryn proceeds to continue wobbling and squirming ominously on the ground, still making ghost noises.)
(Aeri seems to be more or less aware now and she listens carefully.)
Fausta says, "Zoe the Ghostslayer will protect us this Octum."
Zoe says, "Oh, oh.. its like that then, time to pull out a secret weapon."
You tumble backward over one shoulder and spring to your feet!
Roundtime: 1 second.

a mangy brown hound arrives from the east.
[ESP-GRAY - Rosewood]: Greetins.
Zoe puts a sapphire-studded bright-pink leather backpack in the deep brown leather saddlebags embossed with gold gears and cogs that is on her mount.
Speaking to Zoe, you quietly urge, your voice muffled by your costume, "Boo?"
(Zeldryn wobbles ominously.)
[ESP-GRAY - Ice-Blue]: Hello there.
Zoe shows you her iron horseshoe.
There is nothing special about the iron horseshoe.
[ESP-GRAY - Ice-Blue]: New color.
Speaking to you, Zoe exclaims, "Boo!"
Aeri commands, "Spirit, I have not caused thee sufferage. I am but a newly come citizen. State your woe and be thou comforted or go thou elsewhere and be in thine own misery!"
Zoe waves at a glossy black quarter horse. [ESP-GRAY - Sky-Blue]: Sapphire?
Zoe exclaims, "That and this!"
[ESP-GRAY - Eggshell]: Is anyone available to give lessons in Melee and Dodging?
Zoe waves her iron horseshoe around.
(Zeldryn spies the horseshoe.)
You loudly shriek, your voice muffled by your costume, "AAAAAAAH!"
You head north.
[Shadgard, Main Street] (OutUr) [semiarid] Mild, Fair, Gentle Breeze
This bustling north-south road is the main route of travel from the town gate to the Commons. Various #shops and other buildings line the street as well as carts, crates and barrels, giving the place a busy, prosperous feel.

A tall, sturdy wooden wall spans the distance between the close canyon walls to the east and west, providing protection to the townsfolk from the dangers of the wilderness outside, a sturdy wooden #gatehouse guarding the only available passage. Built in the northwestern corner where wall meets sheer mountainside is a modest #barracks.

Thick tanks of liquor and other spirits line the outside walls of the Shadgard Brewery. The warm smell of hickory smoke and roasted meat entices patrons from afar. Several tin placards advertising various beverages hang on a long chain suspended high over the street. Perhaps intentionally, the #infirmary stands just next-door to the #brewery, while a large key-shaped sign advertises a small locksmith #shop.

The lounge is an open, inviting area who's walls have been painted a soft and clean shade of eggshell. Pristine boards of treated black walnut sparkle along the length of the floor, similarly hued frames adorn the #doors, windows and trim. A long, elegantly carved walnut #bar dominates the majority of the northern wall, and to the west a narrow hallway can be glimpsed disappearing into another room of the house. A silver-handled #door stands to the south leading back into the streets.
The area is completely silent.

Zoe exclaims, "Here lies ghosty number 3, who thought he could get away with haunting us and the town, may he drink this brandy and be forever remember, for his evil deeds and the like!"
You adopt an agreeable expression.
You solemnly intone, your voice muffled by your costume, "Gods rest his sheet."

Her right eye is lightly damaged.
Her head is scraped.
Her chest is scraped.
Her abdomen is scraped.
Her right arm is scraped.

She is wearing a small clear crystal pendant, a horn-clasped doeskin pack, a mottled green wool cloak draped over a long-sleeved bone white wool blouse, a pair of back-laced dark brown wool leggings bound by a carved dark oak cincher with a haft-frog carrying a copper logging axe attached and some rabbit fur ankle-boots.
Open containers: a mottled green wool cloak, a haft-frog and a horn-clasped doeskin pack
You blink at Aeri.
You glance at Zoe.
Zoe exclaims, "These ghosts are a real problem in this town!"
You glance at Fausta.
Speaking to you, Zoe exclaims, "It wasnt me!"
(Zeldryn creeps slowly over to the fainted Aeri, leaning down ominously.)
Fausta says, "I didn't do it."
Zoe says, "Well, kinda, perhaps it was the smell of the brandy.."
Speaking to Aeri, you loudly whisper, your voice muffled by your costume, "Boo."
(Aeri shrieks.)
(Zeldryn wobbles around ominously, brandy clearly staining his costume.)
a mangy brown hound heads east.
You quietly rasp, your voice muffled by your costume, "Long have I lingered. Long have I suffered."
(Zoe attempts to trip zeldryn as he wobbles around.)
(Zeldryn is promptly tripped.)
You lie down.
Speaking to you, Zoe exclaims, "Linger more, and suffer more!"
Speaking to Aeri, Zoe exclaims, "There there, I'll protect you from the nasty ghosts!"
(Zeldryn proceeds to continue wobbling and squirming ominously on the ground, still making ghost noises.)
(Aeri seems to be more or less aware now and she listens carefully.)
Fausta says, "Zoe the Ghostslayer will protect us this Octum."
Zoe says, "Oh, oh.. its like that then, time to pull out a secret weapon."
You tumble backward over one shoulder and spring to your feet!

[ESP-GRAY - Ice-Blue]: Hello there.
Zoe shows you her iron horseshoe.
There is nothing special about the iron horseshoe.
[ESP-GRAY - Ice-Blue]: New color.
Speaking to you, Zoe exclaims, "Boo!"
Aeri commands, "Spirit, I have not caused thee sufferage. I am but a newly come citizen. State your woe and be thou comforted or go thou elsewhere and be in thine own misery!"
Zoe waves at a glossy black quarter horse. [ESP-GRAY - Sky-Blue]: Sapphire?
Zoe exclaims, "That and this!"

[Shadgard, Main Street] (OutUr) [semiarid] Mild, Fair, Gentle Breeze
A tall, sturdy wooden wall spans the distance between the close canyon walls to the east and west, providing protection to the townsfolk from the dangers of the wilderness outside, a sturdy wooden #gatehouse guarding the only available passage.

Yuck. A dying animal would sound more pleasant!
A rotting night hound's ears perk up suddenly as it scans the area. Not discovering anything worthy of alarm, it begins panting contentedly.
You beam happily at a rotting night hound!

Re: For Humor
Aww, but the idea that Ilsinam secretly enjoys collecting mortars and pestles from different nations and time periods and keeps them in their own special mortar and pestle collector's display case is absolutely perfect.
Maybe you overhear the following rumor:
"I heard a mysterious hooded figure talking about lugging around spare mortars and pestles. Do you think they collect them and have a bunch lying around somewhere? Mistral sure is an interesting place to live sometimes."
