"Let's ask the spirits," you say. "They might be able to tell us a lot more about this situation."

"Okay. Do you want to summon them? Since I summoned Gulf."

"Sure," you say.

You bring out spirit paper and sketch out the nature centric diagram. You activate the paper, and a few twigs combine with leaves to make a rather lanky avatar.

"Hello, young wizard," the little stick man says with a light wave of his stick arm. "I am the Nature Spirit of Duncan Park. How may I help you?"

"Hello, Nature Spirit of Duncan Park," you say. "Are you aware of these sightings of shadows?"

"Oh, yes, I've certainly heard about them," he says. "I felt them creeping at the edges of the park here."

"Just at the edges?" Raven asks. "They don't come into the park?"

"Not yet," he says. "But I just know that they're much more fearsome than just being shadows suggests."

"Oooh~!" Raven says, clearly intrigued now.

"Do you mind if I call you 'Duncan'?" you ask the spirit.

"Not at all," the spirit says.

"Duncan, can you tell the origins of those shadows?"

"Well, no, not its origins," Duncan says. "I just feel how it is. It's this thing of malice and darkness. It has a heat to it, like it is on fire yet can never be consumed by the flames."

"Whoa..." you and Raven say.

"If it doesn't cross into the park," you say, "where does this... thing tend to go?"

"The other spirits say it stays north of here, but that's all I know," Duncan says.

"There's a lot 'north of here,'" you say.

You go back to your phone for a map of the town.

"We were just on the east-side," you say, "and with Duncan Park near the center, we can cross off just over half of the town when it comes to our search."

"Leaving just North and West Natchez," Raven surmises.
