Scene 6: Graveyard Shift
With the two prisoners locked away in separate rooms, away from vital systems and away from each other, even the gigantic behemoth is beginning to feel cramped. Glory remains quiet during the journey, not saying anything to further antagonize her captors. She only speaks to answer questions posed directly towards her.
The bandit girl, however, has grown restless. She begins kicking the door of her room every twenty minutes or so and shouting. She says that she knows you are taking her to Cuidad Quarez where she will be sold as a slave. Between these outbursts, she curls herself into a corner and cries.
Much to Polkatain's relief, Samuel is able to pilot the robot according to Glory's directions without incident and without getting lost. About one hour or more prior to dawn, the group rides through the ruins of some small settlement reduced to small piles of rubble and weeds centuries ago. On the far side of the ruins, an overgrown graveyard sets. It's boundaries are marked by an antique and ill-kept low stone wall. The horses (including the robotic horses) refuse to ride into the cemetery. The glittermount, however, is fine and will trot right inside if allowed. The only trees visible inside are small opoponax trees with bare limbs and thorns, none of them taller than the shorter person in the party. None of them appear particularly dominate.
