All around December Catch-all [open]
Who: For quest: Iskandar and Judar, everything else OTA.
When: Deceuer, start to finish.
Where: Harbour, Coven, Wilde. He's a busy man.
What: Event prompts, quest and everything else.
Warnings: Will add as needed.
Snow way out [6th - 10th]
For the first two days, Iskandar is rather excited by all the snow but it gets less funny with disruptions and blackouts. He is bigger than most and taller than most. From the height of Bucephalus, he can spot those snowed under, free others trapped in their buildings, dig the entrances for those that can't get in.

More prompts may appear later.]
The Woman [closed to Judar]
A tale he heard about the ghost. Some say it's a vengeful spirit of a murdered woman. She and her child brutally slain years ago and now they come back every winter to torment the living. Iskandar is not one to dismiss such stories. They ring true to him. He heard many similar at home. Unburied and unavenged dead can be especially vicious. Barred the entrance to the Underworld they roam the earth seeking justice.
The Wilders have a different version. That she's no ghost seeking retribution but a particularly persistent Shade. Unlucky soul lost to the plague long ago.
Iskandar has prepared for both outcomes. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't possible to obtain a silver obol in Aefenglom so he had to make one, actually two, and carve the image of a bee on each side himself.
For the second option, he recruited reinforcements. A young Mirrorbound faun with extensive knowledge of magic... of his own world. No magical powers here. Iskandar is getting used to that kind of story. He really believes whoever or whatever drags them here from their respective worlds is simply cruel and likes to see people suffer.
"You're sure you've got everything you need?"
He's not trying to doubt Judar's skills. If Orpheus was able to charm the Hades himself and almost get his wife out of the Underworld, why something similar shouldn't work here? On a lesser ghost. He's just checking. It's worse to go unprepared than not go at all.

no subject
In some ways, this woman was a lot like some animals that Judar's seen. Sure, they could be sly and use that with some amazing speed, but those things alone didn't make whatever victories the animals would have on their hunts. It reminded him, but as the rest of that equation escaped his mind, the faun continued to play at the fast pace that reflected what was going on. Stamping and moving his foot into the ground, his eyes moved away as the woman continued to try and evade while whittling down the barrier's integrity.
Something about the story... It's when his inexperience with being out in the Wildes mix with that, that there's a question that comes about. "Hey, big guy- How's these barriers do against the Cwyld itself?"
If she came about through exposure and time, which spread the stuff's influence, that'd mean it was more present than it seemed, didn't it? Do they interact in any particular way?
Did it turn out that they were in something of a spider den?
