All You Have Is Your Fire...
Pyralis strode boldly up to the statue, gazing up at it curiously before propping herself up on her hind legs to stare at the head on the left, the one that had a strange firefly where its left eye would be. She couldn't help but feel drawn to it. One of the most notable markings on her own body was the white patch over her left eye. Anymore she didn't know what to believe. She still wrestled with her families belief that they were descended from gods. Was there any truth to this or was it just madness? Would the statues and the strange happenings have any answers for her?
She didn't know, but she had treasures and goods she was ready to distribute, knowing her time would be short. She turned to the fire cart she had left a bit outside the gathering. Digging in the bag that was left upon it she pulled out a number of fire opals she'd found up north in the Dreamer's Col before it had been claimed by the Armada. The gems had sinew tying them in place to a thin metal chain she'd pilfered from an old human dwelling. With Alkali's help she rested it across the combined neck of the statue.
With that done she hauled the fire cart forward in front of the base of the statue, giving a nod to the crow before she set the wood on the cart alight, to create a bonfire. She stepped back to watch the glow and the way the fireflies nestled in the expose orbits of the statue seemed to devour the light.
NPC:
As the decoration is laid, the familiars move to begin their investigation. They pick through the pieces of the offering as carefully as possible as to not disturb the layout the wolf has chosen. Speaking amongst themselves in hushed whispers too soft for prying ears, the familiars are clearly discussing what their God might think of Pyralis’s decoration.
The rats are busy happily turning fire opals over in their paws and running their tiny toes over the chain in awe, their glee audible in their squeals and growing louder and louder as more chime in. The only thing to silence their relentless squeaking is the start of a blaze, it’s fire reflecting off the statue and altar and drawing every eye to watch in stunned silence. A rat coughs, blinking slowly. The spell of shocked silence broken, the familiars disperse to continue their duties. A large black cat approaches to block your view with a prize in hand. She takes a moment to look you up and down, shrugs her shoulders and pushes the gift against your paw with a reminder not to hover too long.

Please note that Pyralis is a ghost. It is up to you to decide what level your chars can see/hear her. She was killed by having her throat ripped apart. At times the wound may be visible and be actively bleeding.
