After what happened in the Dead Zone, hearing about a fog and some kind of creature roaming around sounds like a bad combination.

[ye~ah he's not far enough along in his monster hunting training to brave this]

[cloakand_danger]

I agree. Do you have any information more useful than commentary on how dangerous it seems, or should I ignore you?

[follows_rules]

Has someone found out if it's like the thing we saw in the Dead Zone?

[cloakand_danger]

Not for certain, but this person [arrow up to Alucard's thread] seems to think it's an ancient pagan god from Earth.

Really...? I'm not familiar with the story he's talking about. I can get to work researching that angle.

[cloakand_danger]

Sounds like a good plan. Let me know if there's anything useful in it. [yay, a magical research person.]

[follows_rules]

I've got something. He's referring to Celtic folklore. There's an agricultural god of the earth called Crom Cruaich, or "the crooked one on the hill". St. Patrick is a well-known saint who preached in Ireland. So when he converted the Irish to Christianity, in a way he was destroying those pagan gods.

It wouldn't surprise me if the castle had the power to pull gods from different cultures in, along with the people.

[cloakand_danger]

No indeed, I'm pretty sure it does. [If it can bring the Endless...]

I think we're looking for something a little more immediate than converting its worshippers, though, especially since I doubt it has many here.

I didn't read anything about him that seemed dangerous, but the Irish believed in magic and fairies, so maybe it has something to do with that...

[cloakand_danger]

Try looking from that angle, then, see if anything useful comes up. If not, we'll have to go with the ideas we have so far.

[follows_rules]

No problem. [any excuse to learn about more magic, pffft]
