Project Update: Choose thy Adventure - 02. The Pisky & The Brute
Hail and well met Wanderers,
Thou hast spoken and fate thus bends to thine will. With this choice thou hast discovered a new creature that shall now take its place within the bestiary of Faerie: The Pisky
But let us delay no more, for Willow’s journey continues towards her goal, and closer towards the sound of saddened song…
“As thy feet move through twig and bracken toward the forlorn song, thine eyes fall upon a scene most peculiar…
An armour clad ogre or giant of some kind, easily 15 foot in height, dances exhaustedly in a small clearing ahead. Its singing mournfully echos beneath its heavy metal helm, broken only occasionally by what sounds like sobbing. It is watched from a nearby tree by a cheering pisky (a particularly mischievous form of pixie-kin) who weaves its hands magically in rhythm, maintaining an enchantment upon the dancing creature. Upon approach the pisky spots you, and flits from upon her perch down towards you.
The pisky cautiously exclaims that thou art welcome here, but not to interfere. She tells you that this lumbering brute was working for the hag at the heart of these woods until the pisky captured him in an enchantment. Should you not interfere with his punishment, the pisky promises she will point you in the direction of the hag and gift you a powerful lantern that will help you navigate the darker parts of the forest.”
WISE WITCHÂ
It seems thy hath spoken! Willow observes, and with her keen insight and perception is able to garner the following:
“The pisky seems eager for you to continue on your way, not so easily do faerie-kin oft offer their treasures. A glance at the dancing brute seems to reveal little, beyond a symbol that is only barely visible upon its now tarnished breastplate. The symbol is none other than the sigil of House Autumn, which either means this large warrior is a defector to the hag’s cause, or the pisky isn’t telling the whole truth…”
