LIAM: It is the same day?
MATT: It’s like two in the afternoon, yeah.
SAM: So we can make it tonight.
MARISHA: I oddly trust that more than hiring
someone from The Grudge Gang.
LIAM: Ja, that is a good point.
MARISHA: I feel like The Grudge Gang might have
ties to the Iron Shepherds or at least an inside man.
LIAM: Yeah, friendsies.
ASHLY: I mean we could try, but if all they are is
a healer–
SAM: That would be amazing, though. I mean healing
potions are nice, but we need someone who can– we
get killed a lot or nearly, you know?
ASHLY: Yeah.
MARISHA: I’ve seen some pretty badass priests in
my day.
ASHLY: Do I have any sense of–
SAM: You have?
ASHLY: She mentioned some of the kooky ones out in
the woods, right?
MATT: Yeah, she mentioned a Blooming Grove.
ASHLY: Do I have any sense of what that is?
MATT: You’ve not necessarily heard of The Blooming
Grove. Roll a history check, actually.
ASHLY: This not going to go well. 12.
MATT: That’s not too bad. You’ve vaguely heard of
The Blooming Grove, but it’s not referred to that
very often. It’s more referred to do as The Bone
Orchard.
ASHLY: Hmm, less fun.
MATT: Yeah, you haven’t been there, but from what
you know, it’s this strange, ancient gravesite
that’s been on the outskirts of town, a few miles
out, since before the town was built.
ASHLY: Are these healers considered by people in
Shadycreek Run to be wackadoos? Or are they–
MATT: From what you know, from what you’ve heard,
everyone thinks they’re strange, creepy hermits
and possibly witches. No one really goes there.
Some folk in here tend to put on the air of not
being superstitious, but the Savalierwood carries
a lot of superstition with it. Some folks, while
they may play it off, still seem to get a little
nervous about delving too deep into it.
ASHLY: Well, that is a good point. If this person
lives in the Savalierwoods, then they’re not weak.
There’s a lot of crazy shit in the woods, so they
must be able to hold their own, or at least remain discrete.
SAM: They don’t belong to any pact, or group that
we would need to negotiate with?
ASHLY: No, they live outside the– I mean, they’re
not even really related to the clans.
MARISHA: Did we hear what god they worship?
MATT: You have no idea.
MARISHA: I feel like if it was one of the accepted
gods of The Empire, you wouldn’t have to hide out
in the woods. I’m kind of into this idea.
ASHLY: We can try.
SAM: Is it worth asking a Tasker first? What would
we even ask? Just how much it would be to hire you
