The Ritual Site and the Three Threads

The woods (session 8)

Current Status (as of session 10): Open and unfollowed. In session 8 the party found a ritual site in the woods with three magical threads running out of it in three directions. Nobody knows where they lead and none has been followed. Doing something to the ritual brought a tree warden up out of the ground, which went for Percival over a fire he admitted to setting in the forest. Nothing recorded since.


Overview

A ritual site in the woods, its purpose unestablished. What makes it a thread rather than a scene is what leaves it: three magical threads, each going a different way, with no destination known for any of them.

The Threads

Three, running in different directions. Unfollowed as of session 10. Whether they are a map, a leash, a set of anchors, or something else is unrecorded.

Worth watching, all unconfirmed:

  • 3 marks were given in the Sheriff's village in session 7. Same number, no established connection.
  • The lighthouse (session 10) is a fixed point the party has since reached from another direction entirely.

The Warden

The Tree Warden

History

  • Session 8 — the site is found, the threads seen, the ritual disturbed, the warden comes up, Percival is slammed against a tree. See sessions/session 8.md.

Open

  • What the ritual does and who set it.
  • Where each thread goes, and what happens to whoever follows one.
  • Whether the warden is still in the woods, and whether it is still owed something over the fire.
  • Where and when Percival set the fire, and whether it went out.
