The mystery woman flits between the trees. Quint take a moment to study the ground, but she has left no tracks, even in several day old snow. She leads the group uphill and further into the forest before finally you arrive at a small tarn hidden amongst the trees. Ice creeps in from its edges but the middle is still unfrozen water, dark and still.

The woman in white stands on the far side of the tarn, head bowed and her long golden hair hanging down over her face. Beside her, a gnarled willow hangs over the water, its bowed shape and drooping osiers mirroring her posture.

Gwyneira is starting to feel a bit apprehensive as she looks upon the spirit mimicking the tree, but she slowly approaches the frozen edge of the tarn from the opposite side. Glancing up to the tree and back down to the pool she silently curses, and not for the first time, that her deception prevented her from studying any sort of useful lore pertaining to the Otherworld and its inhabitants. So she tentatively asks, "What is this place?" unsure of whether the question is to Angharad or her companions.

Myfanwy eyes the spirit, then looks at the tree...finally the pool of half-frozen water.

"A place in mourning," she murmurs. Then louder, addressing the spirit, "Is this where he died?"

Quint is more used to the physical not the meta-physical and he is well out of his depth. he just stands there trying to keep guard and hopes that the ladies can sort it out.

The ghostly woman looks up, and for a moment her eyes seem to flash with anger at Myfanwy. Then she lowers her head and walks into the icy water, passing through the ice without affecting it at all, until she is completely submerged. Her golden hair can be seen in the dark depths, like a drift of yellow driftweed, and then it sinks into the darkness like a setting sun.

Gwyneira circles the pool to where the spirit stood and gazes on the pool. She kneels down to lightly touch the water with the tips of her fingers. Looking up to Myfwany she asks, "Do your spirit senses reveal anything more? I am not sure whether this is her grave, or some kind of portal."

When Gwyneira mention a grave, Quint moves round and checks the ground. He assumes that if there has been a burial then it would have been a long time ago, so he checks very carefully.

Myfanwy's spirit sense no longer picks up the presence of any kind of spirit creature, but the area has a faint lingering aura - it is a focus for spirit activity of some kind, possibly the anchor for the ghost of Angharad. Quint searches the ground carefully, looking under the snow. He determines that no-one else has been here, at least since the snows started, but he's also pretty sure that a grave hasn't been dug nearby, although it would be easier to tell when the snows have gone and the plants are growing again.

The young druidess closes her eyes for a moment, then shakes her head.

"She's gone, for now at least. She led us here for a reason...and I do feel unrest. This place may be what's shackling her. This place, or something in it."

She opens her eyes again and shakes her head.

"We could use a dog right about now."

"So lets review what we have found out so far." says Quint. "People are getting ill and dying of a mysterious sickness, this includes a lot of the wise women; people are reporting seeing some king of undead moving about the village; someone or something is making girls pregnant, this may be natural or it could be supernatural; one of the pregnant girls died and her spirit is haunting the woods.

Can anyone think of anything else? Any ideas of an explanation?"
