Good Afternoon.

I was told that I can contact others in this community by means of this device. The technology here is quite different from where I woke this morning, but it seems very ~~user friendly~~ easy to understand and adapt to. I do have a question, however: are many fingered creatures considered part of the normal forest wildlife? If so, how does one go about not encountering them?

That's good to hear. I'm glad that these creatures are a passing phenomena. I'll likely be sticking to the city for now, then. Thank you for the tip! The creatures do not seem to be magical, but I admit I've never seen anything like them. Dead or alive.

It seems that way. Luckily my guide was able to navigate us to the city before we encountered any of the larger variety.

I can't imagine how they've come to exist if not through magic, though I haven't ever seen the kind of magic that might create something like this before. They do not seem something natural however. Those that wear a ring, too, seem to have some magical ability.

That's fortunate. Will you be staying at Morningside Manor? The apartments seem to have some protective magic about them; they're often the safest place to be in these situations.

	Hm, you raise a good point. I was thinking less about their origins and more about their characteristics. Perhaps it's the ring that animates them or it could it be a magical artifact. Is there a market here for those kinds of things? Yes, I believe that was the name of the apartments the guide mentioned. Do these situations happen often? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I would lean more toward a magical artifact of some sort than something key to their reanimation; I've been avoiding having a closer look at these particular creatures, but I don't believe all of them bear the rings. But there are a few markets for such things here. The Fairy Market is typically a good place to look, though I'd familiarize yourself with their customs beforehand. I've heard the Night Market has several interesting artifacts, but I've not yet been lucky enough to go myself; I understand humans are less welcome there.

There are a number of shops that sell magical items as well. Uncommmon Goods and Glorious Purveyors both have fine selections.

As for frequency of these attacks, it really varies. Sometimes we'll have some weeks apart, and sometimes it will be a little longer. There's usually some sort of magical anomaly every few weeks though.

	That is... quite the selection of markets. I admit with the familiarity people here seem to have regarding mysticism, I expected at least one or two. Do Uncommon Goods or Glorious Purveyors have any similar requirements for entry? I see. Are they always hand creatures? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, magic here is as common as nearly everything. Much of the world itself runs on magic; I can't see how it could sustain itself without it. But no, neither of the shops have any particular requirements for entry. No, this is the first we've seen of these particular creatures. We tend to get a large variety of monsters that visit from other dimensions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll have to make a point to visit them. After the creatures leave, of course. Are you familiar with the magic of this world? Variety is the spice of life, even when we would rather our porridge be more bland. Do the monsters leave anything behind, such as those rings? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I won't call myself an expert, but I've been making a study of the local magic of this world this last year, and how it interacts with the magicks of other worlds. Occasionally they do, though most often items from other worlds are returned to their own worlds when the being that brought them are no longer present here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
