Down in the forest, there is a tree.
What's left of one, anyway.
The Nemeton calls another supernatural creature to its town.
The blood that drips onto it forms a circle.
"Well, now we have a plan, so it's all good. Next thing is actually dealing with the chimeras, I guess."
"Right, since we're back on that. I know you said about the lifting roofs thing, that's obviously too much, but could you do that if we narrow down the search for you?"
"It would not be good for the buildings. Roofs are generally not designed to be removable."
"The warehouses probably don't need them, and neither does Eichen House. They've gotta be hiding in one of the two."
"Eichen House needs dismantling, but probably not while we're trying to find the bad guys."
"Not exactly a subtle approach. You'd need to be prepared to act immediately, once they're found if we do it that way."
"We shouldn't do anything reckless. Parrish is more of a problem now, anyway."
"I like skipping subtle stuff, that's always really complicated and everyone betrays everyone."
"Can you use your powers to make barriers, or do you have to pay attention to what you're doing to maintain it?"
"You could build a wall around the bodies, are they still by the tree? The bad guys probably want them for something, since they spent all that time making them."
"I'd need something to make a wall with. I could dig out a pit or construct a cairn."
"Steep sides, we have to assume they need to walk until we know otherwise. That should work, if we run into them."
"Me, and I say we stay right here, away from the exploding fire man, and figure out how to catch the chimeras."
"What? No I'm not. Besides, we have an adult here. Kind of an adult. How old are you?"
