Episode: Bring Forth the Huntsmen
Posted by Story on 10/09/17
Since the Silence was brought to bay, the Gray Forest has slowly started rebounding. As spring comes to Arx, the first bloom of lush, green life is starting to return to the forest. But all is not well, for though a picnic trip might occur unmolested and travelers through the woods aren't harassed as a matter of course and the Silence is no longer threatening Arx or moving through the Forest there is an undercurrent of unease. Those who travel through note strange screams in the night. There's the constant sense of being watched. Scouts bring back reports of wandering bands of shavs who attack without warning, or who alternately run away for no reason. And so it is that House Redrain and House Grayson start leading parties into the Forest, start scouting for themselves - start trying to pinpoint what exactly is going on up there, and because they are led by sober and strategic leaders, they start preparing for a coming battle.
