Who: A whole lot of ants and YOU!
What: Exploring houses overrun by giant ants! Interacting with ants!
Where: Three specific ant hive houses have cropped up in Baedal.
When: The ants become visible late Sukkardi, so any time after Shundi will do.
Notes: To organize expeditions into the ant hives and to see what your characters will find there, please see the OOC post. NPCs, general GMing, and mod guidance are all available upon request.
Warnings: Bugs! Possible horror. Will update as needed.

When the ants come out of the ground it happens very quietly and it happens at night. Baedal wakes up to chitinous sound of insect labour. At first there is some panic - memories of strange creatures emerging from below to attack the city fresh in everyone's mind - but it is soon evident that the ants, while curious, pose no immediate threat to the City. They seem content to work and live inside the houses they have occupied; houses no one has noticed or cared about for years.

Soon, the ant-occupied houses begin to change. The ants are building something on the rooftops, something like towers, stretching towards the heavens. Birds that fly too close to the buildings quickly disappear.

You sent a message out about the Candlelighter houses a few days ago.

So you found Candlelighter materials, too. That had a lot to do with what I was wondering about, actually. Which house? We were in the one on Amicable Ally. [A pause; she looks unsure about something:] Was there a warded area in the place you visited, as well?

Echomire, and yes.

[ ilde touches her tongue to the back of her teeth, then- ]

I'd rather not have this conversation on the network.

Yes, that's... yes. This would probably be a better conversation to have face to face, now that you mention it. Um... is there a good place for talking? I don't have much privacy where I live at the moment, unfortunately.

Let's go for a walk along the river. Where's it nearest to you? I can meet you there.

[She indicates a location that's near where the river branches, between Griss Twist, Flyside, and Brock Marsh.]

Will that work?

I'll be there.
