"Treants? I don't know if they harbor this area, especially with the undead around."

[Lupus590]

You all peer into the darkness behind the tree line. A shadowy figure the size of a human moves. But those of you with thermal vision don't see it through your augmented eyes. The hairs on the back of your neck (for those of you who have necks) stand on end.

Henry walks back to the gates, where everyone else is. Henry looks up, and sees an orb fall from one of the trees.
"hey, what was that?"
Henry walks closer examining the orb
"woah, another orb. what would it be?"
"should i find out?" as Henry turns back to everyone else

[cptdeath58]

"Not yet... Where did the orb come from..."

[Waitdev_]

"it fell from a tree, it looks pretty recognizable."

[cptdeath58]

"Obviously you don't get my logic, stuff doesn't just appear from nowhere."

[Lupus590]

No sooner after Maxris says that, the orb vanishes. Those who have seen illusion magic before recognise the collapsing effect when the illusion breaks.

"Where did it go?" Arcum asks looking around for the 'orb'

[H4X0RZ]

"Ne guesses Nico ate it."

[cptdeath58]

"Its a bloody Illusion, some sorcerer is lookin' for ya!"

[Lupus590]

The Shadow (as you have decided to call it) moves again. Stopping just close enough to the light to be barely visible but not close enough so that any details can be made out. If you didn't know it was there, you probably wouldn't be able to see it.

"What's got you all so interested? Don't you know that your blocking the gate?" A woman smiles from atop her cart.

With the momentary distraction, The Shadow is gone. Causing the uneasy feeling to fade... mostly.

"dang, i bet the shadow was trying to get me closer into the forest by tricking me!"
Henry backs into the group
"but why would it be me?"

[KnightMiner]

"Maybe it just wants to lure any of us. We didn't exactly make a lot of friends in the forest tower earlier." replies Matthias

[cptdeath58]

"We don't have time to discuss this now, we need to stop Libitina's reign. And right now, we are stuck in a dark room wearing blindfolds."

[Lupus590]

"Dark room, bindfolds? Don't be silly, you're outside of Vingara blocking the gate." The woman repeats. "And why are you trying to stop Libithina? She takes care of our dead."

[cptdeath58]

"Taking care of the dead? You must not have been paying attention! She is raising it up from the ground!"
,Maxris says to the women.

[Lupus590]

"The only dead I've seen was back when uncle Sam died." The woman visibly shudders. "Raising the dead is necromancer work, and while it is legal to practise it here, most people don't like it. I haven't heard of any necromancer around town." She pauses for a moment. "What was in the forest that had you all so intrigued? I seemed to have startled some of you when talked."

"A shadow. A dark creature which seemed to wish itself unseen, and also seemed to barely exist." replies Matthias.

[Lupus590]

Her face pales slightly as she slowly responds. "I should get back to tending my farm, parents and brother will be waiting." Without another word, she urges her horse forward along the road that you travelled earlier today.

A bell sings somewhere within the city. Its song is followed by three strikes.

"Wait, by your facial expressions, you know of such pestilence. You can help yourself and everyone around you if you tell us what it is. You may also help your family. If you don't tell us now, your family might be in danger. Please."
It says in attempt to persuade the women to stay for a second longer and give information.
