“Oh boy, here we go again…” Groans Volka. “Mor, you’re gonna have to trust other people even-”
“You don’t need masks in this gloom, Anton.” Warns the ranger as his eyes bore holes into yours, “You got lucky with Volka and I, but beware who you trust. Not everyone has your best interest in mind, least of all strangers.”
Foreboding! Still solid advice though!
“Stay informed, stay alive!” Morook replies with uncharacteristic cheeriness in his tone. “You’ll have to tell me how you fared once we meet in Crossroads.”
“Hah! He’ll have nothing but good things to report, you can count on that!” Chirps Volka as she rests an arm on your back that nearly crushes it! “As expected of the <span class="mu-s">CROSSROADS LAMPLIGHTERS!</span>”
Morook’s groan prompts you to dive deeper. Lampli-
“Don’t worry, she’ll tell you all about it.” He sighs with the energy of a man who’s heard it all before. “Trust me.”
A rumbling wind brushes past your campsite, prompting the ranger to glance skyward. “Best leave soon–if the weather holds you’ll get there by this evening.”
Any last questions before grabbing a bite and venturing forth?
