Re: Chapter 18.4 The Hunting Party
"He had it closed by the time I got up there again, but after that he insisted on taking a break," O'Rourke explains.
"Rest assured that I gave him a piece of my mind about that," Evans says, wading grass towards the distant chupe. William follows, looking irritated but subconsciously standing a little straighter as the ragged woman trails close behind him.
"Which piece?" Alouette asks.
"...the piece which deals with hellish messes created by stupid witches who think they can get a slice of the country by shovelling Blackthorn into the devil's own furnace," Ambrose rants. "I think by now I've given enough of my own blood, sweat and tears to this miserable scratch on the map to say that it is, in fact, my town too. God knows the people put me there to dispense the law-"
"Yes," the clank agrees, looking at the sky.
"-and I'll be hanged if there's anything legal about giant snake monsters going around abducting women, biting people right and left and threatening to tear the hearts out of Catholic priests!"
"I would hope there is a law against that," the priest says, looking up as the long jumble of rock looms up, spotted here and there by still-burning flecks of daylike flame. He squints to see Jackie, who makes her awful coyote-in-a-steam-press yelping to keep them on the track. "It's going t'get close in there, I think. Probably better to spread out within sight of each other but not so close as to be easily attacked if the thing got into our midst...the other two seemed to have some kind of dark magic, which makes me wonder what this one might do."
