About twenty ago, I heard a large crash on my roof. Now, I live in a fairly secluded area, so the wildlife doing things like this is not all that out of the ordinary. My house has been groaning for a while and I keep hearing voices coming from the fireplace. The chimney appears to be blocked by something. This may simply be in my head but I cannot for the life of me find the source of a distinct burnt minty smell. I am not sure if I should stick my head near the hearth to check what sort of devilish creature is haunting me tonight. What should I do?
Don't do that. If the creature is a Dryad or tree nymph for instance, they'll be shy, an' you don't want to frighten 'em away. Set the table for two, or three, five just to be on the safe side. If it's Christmas Eve where you are, bake some cookies. Invite them over for dinner.
It depends, am I starting a choose your own adventure if I answer? also twenty... minutes... seconds... hours... years?
