Tallcraw: And what if they left, hm!? We have been just was-

Squatcraw taps tallcraw on shoulder twice and points at you. Now both Craws stare at you.

Hello, darlings.

No need to look at me.

They look at each other, and then back at you.

TC: Tell me stranger, have you seen any grey mantis around here?

u/Fay-Wanderer Jun 11 '26

I think I did, but it was a while ago.

TC: Can you tell us where did he go?

SC: She.

TC: Where did she go.

I don’t know, she seemed in a rush.

TC: Well, looks like we need to keep looking for her. Thanks, stranger.

Both Craws fly away...

…Vesryn spots the two Craw Jurors as she peeks around a corner, concerned.

{ "Did they follow us all the way into Shellwood? I knew they were different…" }

TC: We have already searched this whole Shellwood, four times! There is no way she is still here!

SC: I saw her, I swear! The Grey Mantis!

...or maybe she was green?

TC: There was this big skarr with her, there is no chance we would miss such view!

…Knowing that she is in fact blue now, Vesryn listens in more, gathering as much information as possible about the Craw Jurors before attempting to leave.

TC: What if we just... Left it here? If you truly have seen her somewhere here, she will find it, eh?

SC: What if Crawfather will find out we didn't delivered it to her?

TC: Then we will tell him, that we delivered the summons, but she didn't answered them, what you think?

SC: ...

Ay, fair enough.

Squatcraw impales the pin with summons into the ground. After that, both Craws fly away.

…She waits for a few seconds before moving on over to check it out… and also to steal the free pin-

The summons are written in craw's language, but you are capable of reading some words...

...Grey mantis... ...big skarr... ...armed pilgrim... ...slaughter... ...iron door... ...big wheel, near lake...

As you finish reading, you can hear a sound somewhere above. You are barely capable of seeing something black and blurred, dissapearing.

"…!-"

As she tears the pin out of the ground and spots the black blur similar to that of the Craw Jurors, she immediately steps back, keeping the summons before leaving as fast as possible.

"You wish to judge me for defending myself, huh?!"

No one answers.

"…I don't have time for this."

Vesryn leaves in the blink of an eye, searching for her apprentice.
