again. Do we stay here, do we try to find, I
don’t– I’ve read of miracles.
ASHLY: Look, you guys don’t have a lot of time for
your friends. The ones that are captured.
SAM: We should bury him, and leave some sort of
marker–
LIAM: A note.
MARISHA: I’m assuming Shadycreek doesn’t have high
level priests and the Empire and churches and
stuff like that. Doesn’t sound like the type of
place that has–
ASHLY: One of the last places you’d find something
like that.
MARISHA: Yeah.
MATT: The only things that you would know of
Shadycreek, from your experience, would be
whatever miracle workers that would exist there
are owned by the tribes, and weird tales of
strange hermits that live in the forest beyond the
city.
ASHLY: Okay. But I haven’t met anyone directly.
MATT: Not directly, no.
LIAM: How many days’ travel are we from the
beginning of this journey?
MATT: From the beginning?
LIAM: Yeah. From The Gentleman.
MATT: Close to 17 or so days since you left
Zadash.
LIAM: We are in the middle of nowhere.
SAM: Keg, no judgement or anything, but you sort

ASHLY: Yeah.
SAM: When you say you can take us there, are you
just talking about taking us there and dropping us off?
ASHLY: I’ll take you there, I’ll help you through.
I’ll do what I can.
SAM: How do we know you won’t freeze up again?
MARISHA: Or cut and run, like you said.
ASHLY: The way you talk about Molly. I had a
friend like that once, just one. They killed him,
and I ran then, too. I left him behind: he’s the
reason I’m here. I didn’t think I would do it
again, but I did, I fucking froze up. I can’t
promise it, but I promise that I’ll try. My life
isn’t shit, it’s never been. It’s kind of the shit
about meeting people that are actually kind is
that you realize what a fucking nightmare your
life’s been before.
MARISHA: It’s funny how the good people can make
assholes like us feel so small.
ASHLY: Yeah.
LIAM: You can get us there, though.
ASHLY: I can get you there.
LIAM: It does not need to be a frontal assault, we
don’t need to throw our lives away.
SAM: We can’t fight them! We can’t fight them.
ASHLY: Here’s the thing about Shadycreek Run: it
is a lawless town. If you guys have got coin, then
people will fight for you. There isn’t a lot of
honor there, but there are people that are willing
to fight if they’re incentivized. There might be
people we can gather, at least get intel, there
