Banemourne, the Dark Mountains, Gran March, Greyhawk
Day Twenty-one. Long Before Dawn. Friday, December 2nd, 576 CY
Freezing cold, overcast, windy.
In the derelict cabin in the frozen hamlet, Jerome and Rudolf are suddenly aware Amity Mantle is awake, standing at the edge of the shadows, staring at them.
Both feel an intense cold. Perhaps a window was left open?
Still a little drunk, Jerome says softly to Amity, his voice a cloud of frost, "Hi, little one! Are you feeling better? I'm Jerome. My friends and I are taking you home, okay?"
Startled and fearful, Rudolf readies a rope, eyes fixed on the child. He silently pads a wide arc around Amity into the darkness behind her.
In the pitch blackness, the moment the hobbit finishes the slipknot, the rope suddenly flies up around his neck, pulls tight as a noose and lifts him up off the ground! Rudolf is unsure what's happening. His dangling feet kick the air! His hands flail around for purchase in the dark and find none! He can neither speak nor breath! (4hp damage so far)
Meanwhile, unaware of what dread events are transpiring unseen and unheard in the darkness, Jerome strokes Amity's hair.
Her tiny hand rests on his. Her angelic face looks up into the paladin's haggard visage, deep into Jerome's weary eyes.
And Amity coos softly in her sweet little voice, "You are a gift to The Nothing."
Actions, Jerome and Rudolf?!
