Re: Episode 1: Black Rock Burn
Arska was still frowning, but she let the butt of her spear rest on the floor.
"Out of hand, huh. Out of arrows, more like, I was that day. But you are right, something needs finding, this…"
She scratched her face, somehow not ruining the made-up effect, although she was naturally not made-up, but she still somehow looked professionally made-up.
"Skullface guy. Some wizard. We need his help to repair something in Areasi. And then everything will be fine and that old man that makes pretty drawing for the matriarch will give us many ceramic discs, so we can drink for days and days. You come with us and help, or you get the hell away from here, you priests are nothing but trouble."
She turned to Emmeline and shrugged.
"Very long story, boom-witch. Scale is an old friend of mine, we ride together often. So there was this time, and there was this village, we come in one evening, looking for a hot meal and a cold mug, and there’s zombies everywhere, and this guy here was… I don’t know what he was doing. Scale explained it to me with a lot of words, but the bottom line is, all those zombies needed killing, so we killed them. It was fun, not gonna lie. Big waste of time too, but," she shrugged again.
Then she turned again towards the priest.
"Oooh, danger, you said? About time! We’ve been walking all day and yet no fun whatso- oh, here it is!"
She was interrupted by a knock, which prompted her wield her spear again, walk to the door and kick it open.
"Hello! Wanna rumble?"
