update 12th - 25th december
Fae Encounters;
Once again, coming near the stones will result in your seeing some Sidhe. They will either be in groups of three or solitary. They will not be able to come out of the stones, but unless you have your iron handy, hearing them sing and speak to you will make you want to enter the ring. This desire will affect anyone who hears it. The Sidhe are extremely alluring and without the protection of iron your characters will be very vulnerable to them! If you are lucky, the Black Dogs will appear to bark at the Sidhe until they vanish.
Hobyah will continue to swarm all over Demeleier, sometimes coming into the town proper. They will attempt to carry off and eat people they get a hold of. The fortunate part of this is that their presence seems to have slackened the assault from the redcaps, though pockets of the little gremlins remain. Virika and bogeymen haunt the nightlife, and bull beggars, are still disguising themselves as the bloodied corpses of residents. Furthermore, some of the satyrs will approach the town from the forest. They’re half-starved, and will attempt to eat anyone who comes too close. The three baobhan siths are also still present, and still presenting a real threat.
Furthermore, the cold months do bring black moods, making prime hunting grounds for lobs. They also provide ample hunting grounds for the leanan sidhe and the glanconer.
At the loch, the Fideal will now be singing every single evening. Strangely, she may also be sighted during the day, and she will not be singing then. When she is present, the asrai under the water will be more numerous. People may also be fortunate enough to see her singing to the loch monster/Demmie at night.
Each usige and kelpies are still on the hunt, and will now range further afield in their hunts - going so far as the meadows around the stones, in the shape of handsome beasts or fit, healthy prey. Cu sith will prowl along the riverbanks, but on snowy days they will be easy to pick out and avoid, even though their pawprints will make no marks. Some may also come into town of an evening, but that will be a rarer occurrence.
A barguest will be present in the cemetery. This bear-sized, fire-breathing dog will be extremely violent, and immediately begin to hunt and attack anyone who comes into the graveyard. Slaugh will linger over the gravestones of those who have already died since coming to Demeleier, and may alert the barguest to the presence of others.
The forest remains relatively unchanged from the last update. Once again, only the Evergreen Tree Folk are awake now. Most of the forest's friendly inhabitants have gone to sleep, with the exception of spunkies, the little butterfly-fae. As a result, the inhabitants are considerably more rowdy. The Wood Woes are extremely violent, and will try to eat whoever they comes across. Will-o-the-wisps will dance with an even more enticing flame than usual, so residents are advised to avoid looking at the forest without their rowan crowns on.
The Mountains will continue to be fairly dangerous, with the Ogres and Stone Fae out for blood. Anyone coming up the mountain is at risk of being attacked by the Ogres and put into a cookpot. Ogres are coming further down the mountain, but haven’t quite started raiding the village. It won’t be unusual to see some prowling close by, however, so more prudent residents might register them as a threat.
Regular imps, goblins, hobgoblins etc will also be seen around various places in Demeleier, some simply mischievous, some downright malevolent. Music will also be heard often during the long nights.
Please remember that any and all interactions with these fae are completely optional. Here is the bestiary for more information on the fae!
