Guide II: Surviving Spirits
As a Cryptid, you may have encountered many who despise you or your kind. Generally you should pay no mind to them, but spirits are a different matter. I only have direct experience with northern spirits and wights, but perhaps in the future another mod (flare i am talking to you) will be able to give more insight on other kinds.
what to do if:
You cannot sleep all night. It’s too cold. You wake up and there is snow on the ground. You did not sleep.
have you worn iron jewelry recently? perhaps these are fae you are dealing with. find another guide.
if not, leave two silver dollars at the tallest tree you can find. don’t bring bronze or brass. if you did, go say goodbye.
there’s nothing you can do.
if the silver dollars are back in your house before sunrise, they forgive you. do not anger them again.
Animals shun you. even the crows you always feed wait until you walk away to eat.
enter the woods. you know which one.
bring your child mind. she likes children. pray she will take pity on you. there is no other way.
keep walking until you see the staircase.
if you find an arc or bridge before the staircase you need to leave town. now.
go to the top of the staircase and reach into your pocket. you will find what she wants.
throw it over the edge.
immediately go home and go to sleep. it will be very hard to fall into slumber.
when you awake, continue your life as normal. it doesn't matter when you wake up, just find something to do.
the trees are whispering about you. they laugh in your dreams. you want to laugh too.
don’t laugh. don’t even smile. they can NOT know you hear them.
ask the sky to help you. do it in the middle of a cornfield or somewhere they can’t hear you.
you have to be in good terms with the sky for this one. only the sky can save you from what they’re planning.
don’t sleep with your teeth under your pillow. if you must, get someone else’s teeth to sleep with.
everything should sort itself out after this.
if you need help with spirits, you can always contact us. you know how.
