MATT: “They usually–” and she pulls back her |
sleeve and you can see the dark gray, almost black |
skin there beneath. “You will find a burned |
crescent into the wrist of a member of the gang.” |
SAM: Let’s get a fireplace and some iron and burn |
the shit out of our wrists, and then we’re |
insta-Grudge Gang. Now, The Gentleman has us on a |
meager yearly salary, but if we were to do this |
for you, does that include some sort of bonus? |
MATT: “Are you saying The Gentleman has not paid |
you for this endeavor?” |
SAM: Not yet. |
MATT: “I was made to understand that that was all |
taken care of as part of our arrangement.” |
MARISHA: How about something in trade? Just as a |
little added bonus as a favor. |
MATT: “What are you asking for, if I might |
inquire, little girl?” She leans forward with this |
creepy smile that crawls across her face as she |
eyes you up and down. |
LIAM: There we go. |
MARISHA: Kind of like her demeaning me with that |
little girl stuff. I’m kind of into it. Anyway, |
that priest you mentioned. Is he a pretty skilled |
priest? Would he happen to have any skills in |
reviving the dead? |
MATT: “You have a problem with someone beneath the |
earth. I do not know if our priest specializes in |
"such abilities, and if they did, it would be for |
family only.” |
MARISHA: Sounds like he does specialize in those |
abilities when you put it like that. If exceptions |
can be made for friends and family. Friends and |
family discount is a real thing. |
MATT: “You’re mighty presumptuous. You might have |
better luck with any of the wandering crazies in |
"the city.” |
MARISHA: What? |
MATT: “Our priest is not the only one.” She cocks |
her head. “If you’re looking for help, could look |
"to the Blooming Grove.” |
SAM: Where’s that? What’s that? Is that a town? |
MATT: “It’s about six miles out of Shadycreek Run, |
to the northwest, a little farther from here. It’s |
"a burial grove, but there is a temple there and |
some strange hermit of a priest is said to live |
"there. Most folks are spooked of them. The family |
that once looked over that grove has slowly |
"dwindled as the years have gone on, and they say |
the curse itself seems to hold it, but try that. |
"Otherwise, you need to do quite a favor for us, as |
such magic is not inexpensive.” |
ASHLY: Killing all of the Iron Shepherds isn’t a |
big enough favor? |
MATT: “You’ve already been paid for that.” |
LIAM: Yeah, this is a pre-existing arrangement |
that’s outside of negotiation at the moment. I |
understand. We will take care of what you are |
asking. |
MATT: “Good. That’s what I like, straightforward |
and working to the fine print. Very good.” |
LIAM: Zemnian. |
SAM: All right. You don’t want us staying here, I |
