another figure standing hood up– like a short
hood with a mantle that stops about midway. Bare
arms and dark skin, baggy gray pants and is there,
waiting.
MARISHA: What’s the mantle?
MATT: You don’t recognize any details about it.
You see a cloaked figure there, waiting, looking
right at you.
MARISHA: Is he blocking the doorway?
MATT: Is just beyond the doorway. It’s not
blocked.
MARISHA: Is there another way out?
MATT: I mean, you can exit. They’re just on the
other side of the door. Every other way in, you
don’t know the stockade well and all of it just
leads further into the stockade. There are other
crownsguard inside.
MARISHA: Okay, I’m just going to try and just bolt
through.
MATT: You’re just going to bolt? Full run?
MARISHA: Not run, just you know, Irish goodbye.
MATT: Okay. All right. As you briskly exit and
turn to the left, the figure intervenes and side
steps right in front of you.
MARISHA: Do I recognize him?
MATT: No. You don’t see much of the face. The hood
is up and a little bit of the moonlight is coming,
you can see the edge of features. The body is
muscular, but thin. Looks not terribly masculine
or feminine, but it looks able and it moved at a
very quick speed to intercept your positioning.
MARISHA: I just go: Oh, fuck! Turn around and walk
back in.
MATT: Okay.
MARISHA: I’ll join everyone else. I flick off the
guy on my way back in.
MATT: Okay. As you guys are being escorted out of the
stockade, Beau comes back in and joins you.
LAURA: I thought you left.
MARISHA: Just had to pee.
LAURA: Oh.
TALIESIN: Shame.
LAURA: Hey, you guys, we’re town heroes! What’s it
feel like?
MARISHA and LAURA: Yeah!
LAURA: Yasha, it’s very good to see you again.
ASHLEY: It’s good to see you guys, too.
SAM: Where did you go? Were you on the lam for a
long time?
ASHLEY: I have a little bit of a problem with
authority and I didn’t want to be caught in a
small and confined space and then that ended up
happening.
LAURA: How long have you been in there?
ASHLEY: Immediately after I ran away. They sent
out horses. I’m not that fast, but I did fuck up a
few of the guards. “By accident. ”
MATT: As you say that, you hear a couple (clears
throat) and two of the crownsguard visibly bruised
that are escorting you guys out into the night air
