In further Lumberjack related deductions between Lockwood and myself: our local ghosts were cultivated by the ladies of the lake after a strange woman and the dead appeared. As Wrath and several others have indicated, this is likely the Huntress, historically. Hatisse advises she's left something of herself behind to fuel what's happening.

The Lumberjack sincerely does not wish to disappoint the ladies of the lake. What he acts for has that in mind, ah? Not to speak on the rest of our haunts. How many of us continue our nightly hauntings?

.... Do we need to look for yet another body part?

[weifinder]

( he sighs, somewhat dramatically. )

I fear so, yes. What do you think?

[beitangmoran]

I am unsure of what it could be... although a lot of description from people mention her striking hair.

it might not be unwise to look around the lady Miang-si. She is the most... possessed, and it seems clear our acquaintance played a part in that.

Ah, great timing! I was just talking about trapping my nightly visitor to see what she knows. Can it be done?

The Lumberjack acts like a really vague harbinger around me. I don't know if that's an isolated incident or not. I just assumed he was trying to scare me.

But if he's working with the ladies of the lake, there may be more to that.

[weifinder]

Or within the forest, which is where the worst of death has been.

[weifinder]

Ah... in theory, but that's unlikely to... be wise?

( Also wait what why )

[weifinder]

You're telling me!

( said with a chuckle )

[weifinder]

If he thinks scaring you leads to results, ah? They're all doing... something, but not to aid the stolen dead.

[vdovy]

Because it's dangerous or because it won't lead anywhere?

[downswing]

You cannot wish him forgiven.

[weifinder]

Either or, I believe it'll depend on your intentions. You want answers, ah?

[weifinder]

I wish it ended. I'm not interested in forgiving. Just forgetting.

[beitangmoran]

I am woefully unequipped to detect such things, unfortunately, but if you require firepower while you search...

[downswing]

Easily spoken.

[weifinder]

I don't object to another ready hand.

[weifinder]

And realised with strong enough will.

[vdovy]

Don't we all?

[ Mostly, she wants a way to be of use that doesn't involve knowing anything about magic or ghosts. ]

[downswing]

He torments.

[weifinder]

Are you expecting me to agree or disagree?

[downswing]

I expect you, for once, to not be the better man.

[weifinder]

We do, but perhaps pause to see if our time stays steady, or if it fluctuates, and in which direction. Then we can plan to speak with the ghosts, and perhaps their ladies?

[weifinder]

I haven't managed to shrug off the Man in Black, hm?

[downswing]

Nor sought to expel him.
