powerful people that I’ve probably ever met, and
I’ve met a lot of people. I grew up in Shadycreek
Run.
LIAM: When you say powerful, are you talking about
ability, or connections, or both?
ASHLY: Both.
LIAM: Shit.
ASHLY: Everybody knows them there.
MARISHA: You said slavers?
ASHLY: Yeah. Sorry to break it you, but your pals
just got taken into slavery.
SAM: Why are they operating this far from “the
Run?” Also what kind of slavers– These are
powerful people that they just kidnapped.
ASHLY: Yeah. That’s what they want.
LIAM: This is why maybe they took the beefy ones.
ASHLY: They’re not trying to find weaklings on the
side of the road. Which is why it seems like most
of you people got spared–
SAM: Okay, okay. You don’t know us.
ASHLY: Hey, you bared your teeth at me five times,
little man!
SAM: I gave you a little bourbon! I’m a lady. I
gave you some booze. The least you could do is
afford us the benefit of the doubt.
ASHLY: Sorry.
TALIESIN: She does have a fair point, though. We
are a little squishy.
ASHLY: I’m not really good at the people thing.
TALIESIN: You’re in good company right now.
SAM: Beau is terrible with relationships and
social interactions!
MARISHA: That’s why we clearly got off to a great
start. Sorry.
LIAM: I’m not very good at it either, and you are
an exile.
MARISHA: I’m also trying to work on the manners
thing.
ASHLY: Cool, all right.
MARISHA: The guy who actually got taken from us
was helping me.
TALIESIN: We lost the charm.
SAM: Do you know any of their names, the
Shepherds?
ASHLY: Yeah, I know all of them.
SAM: Who are they?
ASHLY: Okay. Before that, here’s the deal. I have
some beef, as you may have gathered, with this
crew. I’m not interested in just getting your
friends and getting out. I want to fucking kill
every single last one of them. If you want any
more information from me, I’m going to need a
little bit of buy-in.
TALIESIN: I just toss 20 gold and I’m like, throw
me a cigarette please.
SAM: 20 gold is expensive. Wait, so if you could
rescue your friends, or friend, or whatever–
ASHLY: There ain’t nobody left to rescue, man.
SAM: Are you sure?
ASHLY: Yeah, pretty fucking sure.
