Antics 7-19 & 20-08: Mysterious Happenings

Pegasicorn's picture
Yesterday a strange phenomenon was spotted in the Forest. A nameless stag that wouldn't move; it just stood in one place by the pond.

It was noticed, however, that if one were to have it in their view as they're moving away, it would start running once they reached a certain distance.

Move closer again, even by just a tiny amount, if it's "within range", it'll stop running again, as Scape shows.

He performed this test a second time using a different location, with the same results.


This was followed by the sighting of what was believed to be Zaeyde's picto on the border. It quickly disappeared, so Scape made nothing of it. Until he chose a random direction to run in and came across this.

Zaeyde's picto, deerless. In just a moment, a default deer soon appeared on the spot, bearing the picto. Both disappeared soon after.
And then...

Are zombie antlers randomly sprouting from the riverbank?

As Scape faded from the forest, the nameless was still seen in the same spot. Hopefully the next day it would fade too.
Except it didn't...


Toukan discovered the same deer standing motionless by the bank. It still exhibited the same behavior of runningin place, stopping when you approach.

Spells are ineffective against it.
Even the powerful devout pelt has no effect, as many deer have just found out.


An even odder occurrence has just taken place, leading me to believe the nameless stag is cursed.

After falling asleep, I found Toukan floating in the air. Shocked
And he is floating, as is shown by this photo:

He had been sitting next to the log (circled in the photo) at the time, and is now hovering over it. Answers to why this happened have not yet been obtained.
This is not just a glitch of the camera either. It has been found that the only way for other deer to reach Toukan is by way of air-running then standing.


Might I just say... BUTCH. What's up with all the transformation spells?? o_o;

I saw that nameless stag,

I saw that nameless stag, too. Its been out for about 3 days. I was there when it took that position. It was moving around, doing random stuff that nameless stags do, when suddenly it just stopped moving. And its been that way ever since.
If you watch it for a while, you will see that every about 1 minute, it will start RUNNING in place. After about 10 seconds of running in place, it will stop again.
He is there all night, and all day, and I believe he will remain so until...

@Anzel: Everyone can see the

@Anzel: Everyone can see the nameless and its effects. o.o
..you randomly floated into the air when you feel asleep? o_o

@Emiva: O.o I didn't see it before yesterday though... And it only runs in place if you're a certain distance away or have the camera turned away. If you get close enough or turn the camera back, it stops.

Hmm. Well. They can suffer

Hmm. Well. They can suffer seeing a random nameless stag as I've seen random nameless stags before XD; And fawns, and ephra, and etc.

And yep, I've floated when asleep before, then suddenly dropped. It's weird.

Yeah, I spotted that stag

Yeah, I spotted that stag yesterday, I thought he would be gone by today, but I guess not D: Butch and Sqish actually found another floating picto today, randomly in the air. I'll have to take a look at the screenshot, but I think it might have been Toukan's.

And I got to see Michael investigating the stag :3 He hung around for a bit, turned himself into a frog, and then disappeared.

Wanna know what would make me giggle? If it was me, and when/if I entered the forest without knowing it, while still asleep, I HAUNTED.

@Anzel: It's still there.

@Anzel: It's still there. o_o I have Scape standing over it for the fun of it. XD

@Sqish: Really? Michael was there? o.o Makes sense I guess. ..wonder if something might get dropped on it like where the cage is? XD
And yea, when Toukan was asleep in the air (still don't know how O.o), and when Butch turned him into a frog and squirrel, only his picto would be up there. Bats and doves are up there with their pictos though.

I've seen that nameless running Deer too the past 2 nights I've been on. Draak's mooed in his face but got nothing XD. I wonder if anyone saw it actually appear and then...get where it is now?
