Description and lore
An animated field effigy waits among ordinary crop guardians. Ragged sleeves and straw make its first movement difficult to trust.
Ragged sleeves hang among the crop guardians. One empty face now points somewhere it did not point before.
The field carries signs of ordinary care: repaired fences, growing food and a path walked daily. The moving effigy turns that familiarity against the watcher.
