abandoned hut
the party has come across a small hut just off the Eastway road. While travelers are welcome to stay the night, it doesn't seem that anyone lives there long-term. However, the door to the separate bedroom is locked tightly, revealing the site of an old ritual.
In this room, the air is still, as if it hasn’t been disturbed in months now. A thin layer of dust has gathered on the floor. Vilu asks Salvia to come closer to shed some light into the darkness, and he follows close behind them. Behind the washroom, you find a nook that could be described as living quarters if one were to be generous. There’s enough space for a couple of bedrolls to be laid down, but that’s about it. In the corner there sits a chair, with a white gown set down on it. Closer inspection shows it to be made of good linen, with good stitching and colourful, bold embroidery on the front and at the hem. The hem itself looks dirty, as if someone had run in the forest with it on. It feels more like a modest wedding gown. Close to the chair there hangs several scraps of paper from the ceiling, each of them inscribed with mysterious letters. Below the eerie paper slips, you notice a circular shape painted into the old wooden planks with dark brown paint. The same substance seems to have been used for writing the text, and it doesn’t take you too long to guess it’s likely blood - and likely the source of the necromantic energy Annie noticed earlier.session 13
