>>6100562Leaving the guild hall to the hotel across the street, your mind shifts back to that cave - and how you had to wait for Millie's reinforcements. Just who are they, really?
"Hey, Millie? You mind telling me who these reinforcements of yours are?"
Millie looks at you for a moment.
"Oh right, I haven't told you yet! Seems like I forgot, sorry."
Her apology is sincere enough, at least.
"You might've met one of them before, you know the leader of the Ravens? Her name's Black Maria, and she's already in town. The other's on his way here - he's one of the best lawman I've known. Well, in a previous life, maybe. Now McDowd's a freelance, does the odd jobs around the place."
Wait, did she just say the leader of the Ravens - was that the oily-haired bandit girl that tried to waylay you near Goblinton?
"So does this mean you're allied with the Ravens?"
Millie tilts her head a bit. "Kinda, Black Maria got major beef with the Singularity Cult, and owes us a favor. She's pretty well liked by her gang, so for the moment, we both have the same goal."
Huh, no small feat, getting the favor of a bandit gang. Then again, the Ravens are known for their oaths, since most of them are Tmavy Les.
"So, what's your plan with them?"
"Well, I have my ideas, but since this is a joint operation, I'd like to hear your opinions!"
Well, a bandit gang and a lawman-turned-freelancer. How would you utilize their services?
