*Nobody else is on, so I'll just post a cutscene and return to the shadows until at least Sunday, when I'll emerge to brief conversations and long periods of silence and being unnoticed..*
A makeshift wall rests along a ridge that stretches for hundreds of feet in either direction. The wall is comprised of boulders and earth, and wooden boards present a surface to stand on. Twelve soldiers, mostly humans, half-orcs, and half-elves, stand on the wall, all of them wearing similar chain mail. Six of them, all looking proud against the nervous, frightened, and emotionless faces of the others, stand close together. They stand straighter, too, and the six easily stand out from the group they stand in. The six are three humans, one female and two male, a male half-elf, a female dwarf, and a half-orc. It starts to rain around them, and thunder rolls.
*Hi, Half!! Nice cutscene!*
*Thank you! I'm going to try to do one a day until I introduce them.*
*Oohh, nice!! I may do that with a character...*

”Go ahead. What were you going to say?” Kalani inquires gently.
She closes her eyes, wincing a little bit. "So I can go back to my family again."
“Maybe I can help you,” Kalani offers. “I’m waiting for the rest of my adventuring party to arrive, but they won’t be here for a few days.”
"Adventuring party?" she asks, with a little bit of awe. "You're an adventurer?"
“I am!” Kalani says eagerly. “But I’m not that experienced yet. I just made rank 3 a little while ago.”
"Rank 3? I've never heard of ranks."
“It’s an adventurer thing. Rank 3 means I’m slightly more experienced than a total beginner.”
"What things have you done? Do you have any stories to tell?" She seems like she's excited, and definitely impressed.
Kalani tells her a story about tracking down a wight that was terrorizing a village of swamp people in the Xhorhas Wastes. She tries to include lots of intriguing details since Alice seems genuinely interested.
"That's amazing! I love hearing stories."
Kalani smiles at her. “I’m glad you liked it. I’m really happy being an adventurer. Some of my companions are looking for romance, but I’m looking to get more experienced in my adventuring career before I worry about anything like that.”
She thinks for a moment. "You said you could help me?"
“I hope I can. I know someone here at the tavern who can cast Remove Curse. Beyond that, do you have any clue who did this to you or how it happened?”
"No! I wish I did."
“Tell you what. Why don’t you come talk to my friend Lyra. She’s good at research, maybe she can figure out what happened.”
"I can't trust her without meeting her first. And I don't know what she knows."
“I’ll let you meet her. She lives in the tavern for now while she’s looking for her daughter. Come on!” Kalani tugs on Alice’s hand.
"Wait. I have to tell you something, first."

They continue this cycle, the trees getting more and more tightly clumped together.
She seems to grow more curious as she continues following
Soon, the trees are close enough that she has to turn sideways just to pass in between them. The shadows seem to have no such problem.
"... How much further are we going?"
Close. Very close.
"I see... How much... Tighter does it get?"
Can pass. Will make way.
"Alright.... And for my bird?" She motions to Dakota
Leave here. No hurt.
She nods "Dakota, stay for now. If anything tries to hurt you, make a way for me to find you while you escape" she continues onwards
Eventually, she reaches a solid wall of trees. She can faintly see through them, but her path is blocked.
"This is the point Ill need help..."
Follow. Make path. A space within the base of a nearby tree seems to distort, bending and twisting so that the opposite side is visible through the disrupted area.

She nods "Dakota, stay for now. If anything tries to hurt you, make a way for me to find you while you escape" she continues onwards
Eventually, she reaches a solid wall of trees. She can faintly see through them, but her path is blocked.
"This is the point Ill need help..."
Follow. Make path. A space within the base of a nearby tree seems to distort, bending and twisting so that the opposite side is visible through the disrupted area.
She attempts to push her way through that point
It feels almost spongy to touch, and not quite solid.
"... Hm... Odd" she tries to push her arm through it, seeing how far it will squish in
Her arm seems to distort slightly, in a way that feels almost painful, but more just... strange.
"... What the hells is this?"
Path.
".. You want me to push all the way through?"
Go through.
She pushes the rest of the way in
Her body seems to twist and shake as she passes through the hole. She gets a feeling of hard exertion, like she's just run a few miles. Finally, she pushes through to the other side. She's in a small grove ringed by trees on all sides, sunlight barely peeking through the canopy above. In the center of the grove is a "pedestal" formed of vines and other vegetation, which appears to have grown naturally. A small, dark crystal sits on the pedestal, vines holding it in place.
She walks over to it slowly "... What is this?"
There's no response.
She will use Roffigirrte to ritual cast Identify
When Roffigirrte touches it, ripples form across the surface of the crystal, moving slowly until they eventually fade. She learns that it has some connection to space or gravity, but she isn't quite sure what.
