Mission Task Board: For the last several weeks, hunters from a nearby village have been going missing without a trace. The villagers have warned them of the local folklore, that the forests of the region are protected by spirits sent by the Goddess herself to ensure that the land has time to recover and grow in the springtime rains… You set out to investigate these disappearances, but as you step into the woods, rain begins to fall.
It’s the ominous voices that made it clear they were trekking down the same path as the hunters they were actively trying to look for. Some were childlike, some were faint whispers, but what they all had in common was that they can’t seem to find who they came from. The voices kept trying to urge them to move a certain direction, and by this point, it was evident it was meant to lure the gullible and the unwise. Even with the knowledge this was most likely a trap, their objective remained the same: they had to find the hunters.
The rain continued to fall, and the ground they walked on grew a bit muddy as the day continued. Still, the tall trees spread out its branches and leaves far enough to provide decent enough cover. It felt more like a light shower as rain fell on them, and for now, it was hardly a concern.
“Stay close.” He’s leading the way as they follow the directions of the voices, a step ahead of Lucina. He does not fear spirits, nor does he underestimate them. These ones seemed to be playful in nature, but it could all just be a guise meant for them to lower their guard. Gerome keeps his poleaxe ready at all times, even if the voices seemed to be that of children’s.
