[The video is only about five seconds or so of footage, filmed by someone who doesn't really seem to know what they're doing. It's set in what looks like a forest--the edge of the Gods Wood, to be exact--centered on a patch of recently displaced mud and grass. In the middle is a dirty, soggy, beaten up old wooden sign, apparently dug out of said patch of mud by hand.

Written on it are the words BALANCE MUST BE RESTORED.

Then, in a separate post entirely because Lalli isn't good at this:]

found this
what's it mean?

Where did you find that?

[agonise]

When did you find that?

[lallipop]

north of kyst

[unabatedly]

How did you find that?

[ Wait, there's an echo around here. ]

Did you see anyone near it?

[enkelis]

About a month ago over 80 citizens of this world were killed by a group of bandits wearing a sun brand. The over-arching theme following that and investigating them has been a whole lot of harping on "balance".

If that was north of Kyst, it's... well, it might have been from that, or someone putting it there as a really awful, messed up joke.

[lallipop]

a spirit showed it to me
i'm the only one here

[That he knows of, anyway...]

Something quite worrying, I think. Do you know how long it might have been there? Er, how far you had to dig to find it, I mean.

[unabatedly]

Please be careful where you are. The branded could be watching.

[ Death certainly is, at least. ]

who's on first

[lallipop]

right now

[lallipop]

okay

[He, like, seriously doubts it, but whatever.]

i know how to be quiet

[agonise]

[ briefly stalks all of lalli's other comments to get caught up tbh, then: ]

It was a call to action. Or a warning.

Something we missed.

Did it instruct you to dig it up?

[ It looks like everybody's covered all the big questions, so Ashe doesn't bother repeating any of it. ]

Do you have any more information on the spirit who showed you?

[lallipop]

that's why i'm here
a bruce person told me
i wanted to see if i could find something

[enkelis]

Well, at least you've got the basics!

( Which means she doesn't have to go over everything. )

I'd say you definitely found something.

Anyway, I guess this has all been about bringing balance back to the world. So I guess this just adds another finger to point in that direction. It might be left over from the night of the attack.

[lallipop]

yes

[sweariff]

why

[tbh that could sum everything about this post and all its replies up: just... why.]

i mean, why did they help you? what kind of spirit was it?

text; un: sarah

[notimefordreams]

Okay I have to ask and this has nothing to do with anything important probably but why would a group of bandit raiders need a sign?

[It's not like this was a bake sale they needed to be pointed towards. Or a strike or something.]

[enkelis]

I'm wondering if we were supposed to find it a lot sooner than this.

For arrogance's sake? They haven't been found yet. Maybe they're boasting.

[ only 50% of that suggestion is sarcasm. ]

How far North of Kyst?

[lallipop]

[Thanks fam. All these comments are a lot :(]

if they wanted it to be found they shouldn't have buried it

[lallipop]

i don't know
a spirit

[lallipop]

no

[Lalli may be getting tired of all the questions regardless.]

[lallipop]

not far
probably a while
it had grass growing on it
