The Mystery in Bridgetown

Whisper does not exclaim but grits his teeth at the ambush from the spiders. Those diabolical creature are notorious for attacking anything. He causes his touch to become mystically shocking as he forcibly removes the spiders to slam them on the ground.

Each of the four spiders sinks its fangs, two on each person. Jaguar is able to resist the venom, but Whisper is weakened slightly as well as hurt. Both young men reflexively remove one of the spiders, killing it as their bodies slam against nearby trees. Unfortunately, the little monsters are able to resist all mystically generated elemental damage so that one spider remains on each of them, fully intent on biting again.

The spiders bite a second time before either young man can react. Each bite causes some damage; but again, only Whisper is affected by the venom. In retaliation, the simple force is enough. The spiders are knocked away and killed without the need for mystical manipulation. The spiders are all dead. Though the damage is little Whisper must attend to his wounds, or the venom will eventually cause him to become paralyzed. Since both have the talent to accelerate their own recovery, it is a simple matter to fix the wounds and negate the toxin.

Travel through the Wilds is always dangerous which is why it is called, The Wilds, and most will only do so in larger groups. Having overcome many threats and eliminated the cause of the hemolytic attack on their village, the two young men return to a grateful town. The elder members of the community express their gratitude at the news they are told and congratulate the explorers on their success.

Respite is never to be a constant and as the Harvest season comes to a close, many begin to express their concern that nothing has arrived from Pear Glen. Pear Glen is a community almost due east of Bridgetown. It is so named because of its primary product and located within a glen formed by some foothills of the Dragon’s Spine and the river that flows from the mountains there. Each Cycle, half of the harvest is normally carried to Bridgetown and the other half to Boga City, but nothing arrives. Due to their previous success, Jaguar Mahoao and Whisper are called upon to investigate the problem.
 

When the spiders are threat no more, Wild Jaguar will update his talismans. He will change:
Dove Feather > ruddystone (Fitness +2) 2 will be left in their inventory
Frog Skull Fetish > emberstone (Cohesion +2) 3 will be left in their inventory
Sunstone > amberstone (Persona +2) 3 will be left in their inventory
Milkstone (will +1) > milkstone (Will +2) 2 will be left in their inventory & 1 weaker that he removed from his necklace.
He will also put his sunstone into their inventory. He will also propose the bloodstone to be sold for 5 ocrins if Whisper doesn't want it.

Ring after returning Wild Jaguar will search for Killian and very long tell him about their exciting and unbelievable adventures they expirienced, showing him his new amulets and new scars boasting how close to death they both were.
 

The unneeded item that the two are carrying are only of commercial value so Whisper has no qualms about trading any of them. He certainly accompanies his friend to see Killian and, in his quiet way, offers additions to the story. Once the two are satisfied with their visitations, he simply states, “Well I am ready for a new adventure. Shall we head for Pear Glen?”

Pear Glen is a small Rheini community situated along the Middling River near its base in the Dragon’s Spine, a few hours downstream from the rise of those mountains. The naturally occurring pear trees have been cultivated for Cycles to be more productive. Despite the relative nearness to Bridgetown, there is not really any communication between the two except when the pears arrive. Since the pears did not arrive, only suspicions exist as to the cause. Heading due East from town then following the mountains northward, it should take the two young men just over five days to walk the distance. Of course nothing in life is ever as simple as it is supposed to be.

Set snares produce enough small animals to keep the two young men fed, but such game are not valued for much else. Traveling quietly, as they are prone to do, the two hunt for other game and prospect for other items. Larger game does not present itself, but passing two different manufactured stone obelisks indicate that the two are going in the correct direction. The small stone structures that measure about a stride in height were purposefully placed to mark the path. Near the foothills of the Dragon’s Spine the standing obelisk has been broken and a spike skewering two heads stands in its place. From the weathering, it appears that the heads have been there for some time.
