    Tucked away in the same room as the Wyrdstone, is a fresh cork board, a pile of paper resting next it, along with a box full of thumb tacks, as well as a fresh bundle of bright red yarn. Just in case.



    Currently there are two papers pinned to the board.

    One has a large Queen Anne on it, with a line connecting the name to Iron Meg jutting out from Iron Meg's crossed out name is another pair of names, both headed with the title lieutenant, Allison Waxdreads and Bobby Coaleyes with Bobby's name circled, with a note
    • Allison's Heartsworn
    • dealt with/not with QA anymore
    • fought with us to kill IM



    Any other names that could be connected to Queen Anne's haven't been found yet.


    The other is labelled, Ambrosial Delights, and there is an MS Paint map printed out.

    Beneath the title is point form notes.
    • Goblin Market.
    • Permanent
    • Built in the Ruins of Sal's
    • Has strange sound containing barrier
    • Gate guards require coloured bands Red = Sell, Blue = Buy, Purple = Buy&Sell to be worn and sealed with Glamour to continue into the Market
    • If you go outside the actions of the band it will cut your hand off
    • Unknown what will happen if you fail to take the action (buy/sell/buy&sell) before leaving the Market
    • Market uses slaves
    • Slaves have pink band collars, that choke them if the take to long in their 'duties'
    • Most likely will kill them if they do not listen to the choke 'warnings'



    And here's the IC Notice Board! Feel Free to add anything else Plot wise, or anything else you feel like the whole of the Freehold needs to know!

    I or, Scourge will keep things manageable page wise, so separate posts might be put together, or posts detailing the same things will be places together so the info can be found in one place instead of searching through the whole thread just to make sure you know everything there is to know about X

    Gerrit

    Mien:
    Leathery scars, bruises and scaly scabs cover the whole hairless body. There is a certain symmetry to the disfigurements, the color of the visible skin ranging from pale pink to purple and dark red. Lately patches of dark blue and black - frostbite - have appeared on his skin and some of the scabs have frozen over and crystalized.
    His right hand shows a copper-coloured, wilted and flaky scar, engulfing most of his palm and the inside of his wrist. Next to frostbite and bruised scars it adds a third layer of wounds bore by the Ogre.

    Mantle:
    Contrast seem to grow slightly more stark around Gerrit, the crisp clearness of a winter morning. Sometimes the sound of ice forming or breaking can be heard in a short, brisk snap. When using Contracts a subtle, biting cold can be felt around Gerrit - pins and needles prick both the Onyx and those close to him.

    Crown:
    Solid, thick panes of clear ice symmetrically arranged around his head with fern frost at the base.
    Active Pledges

    Motley Pledge

    Only a result of 10 on a die is considered a success. Should a given die result in no successes, the failure is considered to be a dramatic failure, though the oathbreaker may spend a point of willpower to negate this, making it a regular failure.
    -Until Oct 5th.

    Two more Pages are added two the notice board. At the bottom right of each is a stylized arrow and three blueberries.

    The Huntsman
    Although Gerrit didn't know much reliably about the Fae itself, he had a run-in with the supposed Cult in his honor. A Line connects the Other's name with The Grey Hoodies and a few bullet points are added below:
    • Mortals who are against the Huntsman.
    • Some of them can see behind our Masks.
    • They survey their neighbourhood with cameras and seem to hunt other things threatening them, too.
    • The code to establish contact with one of their members is 21, 12, 19. Statement, answer, answer.

    The other page was added near Queen Ann's page and a line was drawn to connect the two:

    Abandoned Hollow
    • Several abandoned Hollows in a cul-de-sac with a Hedge-Gate connected to the tunnel-entrance in Funderland.
    • A Bloodsuckle is probably currently still around.
    • One of the Hollows was inhabited by an Ogre and it housed a library and another Lost. The two Lost are currently in the Freehold's custody.

    Another page is added to the board:


    Funderland Tunnels.

    Beneath this is the following list bullet points.
    • Prohibition era tunnels beneath Funderland and Sacramento.
    • No, there is neither left over rum nor guns, (a sad face emoji is included)
    • Multiple access points, one is in Funderland.
    • We have mapped out a good portion, more left to explore. Ask a monarch about map access.
    • Tunnels near the Sacramento River are probably flooded.
    • New bridge installed to pass a ditch.
    • Cesspool overflow cleaned out and sealed off, keep your noise ready to report more bad smells please.
    • 1 large gallery space located, has a bunch of trash, feel free to help remove it.
    • There is a rat infestation. Leave no un-canned food in the tunnels.
    • Do NOT use any powers or explosives that may cause structural damage. That would be unhealthy.
    Circe has signed the bottom of the paper. She has written in after her name: "Credit to Cassandra, Liam, and Seraphina."

    Six foot, barrel chested, and didn't skip leg day. Ram is a muscle bound behemoth. His face and body are scarred from numerous injuries and his movements look stilted with pain occasionally. Still, his craggy face does soften occasionally.

    Mien
    Ram looks like he could knuckle walk if he wanted. His arms and chest are enormous. More akin to a gorilla than human. His skin is an amalgamation of stony hide with fire cracks running through it and pieces of Fey machinery grafted at the joints. Segmented pieces of metal are bolted to run down his spine legs. Wood covers his skull with willow leaves providing hair, while curved bone horns sprout from the foliage.

    A letter is posted to the Freehold board.


    To all my Freehold Friends,

    Sorry I haven't been around. I haven't had much time with the new family. Barely have enough to write this letter and get it posted. But I know random disappearances are hard, even if we don't talk about them much.

    The family is worried about me and I wasn't able to win the argument that I might need a specialist without giving things away. I don't want you to worry, I'm pretty sure I can fix this with some time, but for now I'm moving.

    Roshon's true form is far more chaotic than even most other Lost, as they can at least claim to be symmetrical. Not so for Roshon. Sure, from the tips of the miniature blackbuck horns that sprout from her head, everything looks fine, but then it comes to her ears, with one being a fuzzy red panda tuft, and the other being like that of a dhole. Her eyes are like those a big cat, and though her hair is just as it appears with her mask, the fur of a striped hyena runs in a black and white mane down her spine. A pair of fangs lie beneath her lips, and a tiger tail sprouts from the base of her spine. Her hands are scaled like the feet of a bird, and if one is lucky enough to see her with boots off, a pair of mutant crocodile feet lie beneath.

    A hand written, grease stained note is pinned to the board next to AMBROSIAL DELIGHTS:

    SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!

    So, anyways, check it:

    Liam, the Colonel, and me ran into this fuck-off-huge murder Hob. Like, the fucker had literally been hunting, killing, and eating hikers and had the collection of camping gear to prove it. Also had half a human leg sticking out of its motherfuckin' stew pot. Anyways, the thing said that it hadn't needed to hunt for that particular leg because it had just bought it at AMBROSIAL DELIGHTS.

    So there must be some fuckin' cannibal serial killers selling meat out of there.

    Should probably deal with that sometime. If ya need help, hit me up: ### - ### - ####

    P.S. We gave Cannibal Hob some buckshot, like 3 feet of sharpened steel, and a smackdown that'd make Hulk Hogan shit himself. So now it's just eating dirt.

    Another hand-written note is added to the section on Queen Anne:

    *We found the Orchard, it was burnt and I think Rhodes managed to strike his Contract. It should not bear fruits until next Spring.
    *We found a warehouse full of medical supplies that belongs to Queen Anne - her operations of drugging and abducting people apparently has not stopped. Colonel Worm has memorized the address.
    *Apparently there are still some Lost in alliance with Queen Anne. We haven't personally run into them, but there was proof and signs of their existence. Stay vigilant.

    Another document is stapled to the board. In this case, it is next to the old paper with Queen Anne written on it. Though the Queen has been crossed out with "duck-butt" written above it on the old paper. Circe is petty.

    The new note is a bullet list titled "Duck-butt Anne's warehouse stuff"

    * Anne's warehouse is two story box building, 635 square feet, leased out to under the name "A. Gentry." Anne is an ass.

    * Eight windows total. Four on the first floor, two on either side of the door on the south side of the building. Two on the east wall and two on the south of the second floor.

    * Interior layout data limited. From the single door on the south side stepping through and going right will bring you to the enclosed office. Along the east wall, is an interior stairwell, leading up to the second floor.

    * Specs of the second floor doesn't cover the whole of the building. Rest isn't laid-out, probably customized by Anne's minions.

    * There are no tunnels to assault up through. Can cut the power using a manhole, probably.

    Another note added to 'Queen Anne':

    *The Room of Doors in the Orchard is the only thing still running over there.
    *Anne keeps medical supplies and Fetchmaking tools in a warehouse. Colonel Corn said the address was [address].
    *That Warehouse also contains another door to Anne's workshop or a place where she keeps her Fetches.
    *She tricked some people to fight for her using Oaths and created things to defend her. The Warehouse is likely defended.

    *She has a way to break her side of a Pledge without breaking it or suffering the consequences. Be careful, she might have a significant edge!
