We had multiple teams of people serving as lookouts and distractions while only a handful of us actually went all the way to the lighthouse itself. We only succeeded in doing that because the rest of the entire town threw a party for the spirits as a show of cooperation and goodwill. Tried to keep their attention off us.

Worked for a couple hours, long enough to plug cable into the lighthouse, and then we tried to leave just as quietly as we'd come in but a couple things happened. One of the green-eyes found us and started watching. Then, Robin used the lighthouse foghorn to tell them we meant no harm and they shouldn't attack us, and that's exactly when the attack started. Killed most of us out in the woods and spread to the town.

Can't blame them for being upset we'd tricked them, I suppose. But I still wonder if it would've gone differently if Robin hadn't tried to do anything to help.

Do you think she did it on purpose?

But you went through the woods, and that's where everything went. Badly. Has anyone tried to reach the lighthouse from the water? That you know?

Not anymore. Did at the time. I think she just made a bad call.

Water, not that I know of, no. Air, yes, last week. Crowley tried to fly there and I figure if he'd lived we'd know by now since he wouldn't be able to shut up about it.

The water's dangerous. Right around the harbor, it's all right. Outside that, you're risking death by the things that live in the lake. I tried sailing on the west side, past the museum. Boat's in splinters on the shore now thanks to whatever those were and I didn't even look in the lighthouse's direction.

I'd say try underground but for all I know there are mole spirits. Better come up with a way to go there that's not detectable. Better yet, don't go at all unless Robin explicitly says she wants help.

Yeah, I think I saw something about things in the water.

So, all I have to do, is be invisible? Right, sure. Why not, that sounds like something suitably impossible for this place. That, or find a friendly spirit to take the things to her.

She said she was okay, but. Maybe she's just trying to be brave?

Friendly spirit medical delivery is clever if she's actually in need of anything. I like that idea.

I'd guess instead of just bravery, she's trying not to get a bunch of us killed again by having people go out to her. I've been searching through the bulletins and the network in the last several hours and of all the known deaths that have been recorded, people only get revived about one third of the time. Don't risk it.

She said that she was hurt? And since the ferry arrived, we have extra. Why not share it with her, if we can get it to her.

I'll keep that in mind. 1 in 3, that's not nothing.

I understand that but she's lived there for 20 years and probably has her own medical supplies on hand. You could ask her.

She could be lying, to not put anyone at risk?

Wouldn't you? Lie. To keep people away if going would most likely kill them?

[Well yes that's basically his MO but]

Ask her if she has supplies and if a forest spirit could feasibly bring some to her instead of making assumptions. Go from there.

Thank you, I'll try. But really, thanks for answering. And maybe helping.

You're welcome. Good luck, whatever you end up doing.
