Rebirth Decline 7 - Orb 4

[shorterinperson]

[ Alanna, having returned from her magical adventure in the Old City, sits in the tavern. ]

I have been here nearly a month. In that short time the moon shattered into a million pieces, a curse put half the girls in the village to sleep, a horrible beast threatened the town, and the thorns have started moving faster. On top of that, there have been two celebrations, neither of which ended particularly well. We've accomplished much, but we haven't made even a dent in the thorns.

I miss my husband, my children, my home. If we ever want to be free of this place, we need to focus on the matter at hand.

We need a plan.

I want to get home, too. If it were just the moon, or a beast, then maybe I'd have a better idea of what should be done, but I don't even know where to begin with crossing worlds. I have trouble enough just making contact with them. What kind of plan do you suggest?

[shorterinperson]

One that would involve knowing the thorns' weaknesses, for a start. From there... I haven't a clue.

They're plants. I know they're not quite the same as normal thorns, but they couldn't differ too much, right? What have you tried?

[shorterinperson]

They are far from ordinary plants. We've tried swords, magic, fire, negotiation... everything we try seems to only make them fight back harder.
