KYUU,

I HAVE ARRANGED PASSAGE ON THE NEXT SHIPMENT OF GARNISH AND BEDECKMENT TO HEAVILMAUN. DON’T WORRY IT HAS A STOP IN CALVARIN ONE DAY INTO THE TRIP AT WHICH POINT I SHALL DEPART THE CARRIAGE.

IT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO GO UNNOTICED AMONGST ALL THE TYPICAL SIMULACRUM, THOUGH UTILIZING THE SACELLUM FURTHER THAN THAT IS PRECARIOUS SO I AM HAPPY TO BE LEAVING.   I HAVE ENSURED THE SQUIRES QUIET BY HIGHENING HIS FEAR AND DEVOURING IT ALONG WITH MUCH OF HIS MENTAL CAPACITY, HE WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THESE TOURTURES. I HIGHLY INTEND TO HAVE ONE LAST DISPLAY BEFORE THE TOWNSFOLK PRIOR TO MY LEAVING, WITH THE HOPES OF MAKING THE TRIP ITSELF LESS OF A STRAIN, AS I DO NOT INTENT TO BE HELPLESS WHILE WE TRAVERSE THE ROAD TO CALVARIN.

HAVE YOU ANY GOOD WORD TO SEND OF THE OTHERS?

P.S. I HAVE HESITATED TO ASK, DO WE HAVE HOPES OF SURVIVING THOSE THAT RULE THE NIGHT?

  1. Lessons Learned :

    * Old-style language, to further indicate a historical context.
    * I had to ask about “garnish and bedeckment” and “simulacrum” and “Sacellum”. I’m still not sure what they mean in this context, though they seem important. It sounds like a plan has hatched regarding what our characters are – I will wait to find what it is, as I am amenable to the direction this seems to be headed.
    * Ability to “eat” fear and cause mental lapses.
    * Possibility of being “helpless” while traveling
    * Easy to hide among decorations? Are we tiny, perhaps, or maybe masters of disguise, or in posession of exceptional camoflage (ala Predator?)
    * I wonder what was meant by “one last display”. Very curious.
    * “Those That Rule The Night” – obviously, WE do not rule the night, whatever we are, and partnered with the dangers from the sun mentioned in the previous letter, this indicates a great danger from an intelligent force which rules the night. Our people are on the run from both day and night.
