“I had heard as much,” you concur. “Could she have tracked us? Would she have REASON to, now?”
Irinnile makes a strained, grunting sound, as if trying to lay an egg, then sighs.
“No can do, big boy. I can’t sense shit. Might be that she enema’d that shit out after Heinrich used it against it, or she’s blocking it with anti-demon charms or somethin’ else. As for what she’d do an’ why, though… Well, she could probably brew up a chimera ta’ track you, or sue one of them fancy-dancy mystic pairs a’ glasses that the Tower Inquisition used ta’ love… But she never gave two shits ‘bout anything but her creepy experiments and her personal freedom. Unelss you have something she wants, I can’t see why she’d bother.”
“Something she wants… Like my unusual biological admixture and the fleshweaving alchemy which went into making me what I am today?”
Irinnile giggles nervously, and says: “um, like… Yeah, that’d do it. Well, shit.”
‘Shit’ indeed. You are alone, stranded in hostile and still largely-unfamiliar territory, lugging around an unconscious adversary bent on your destruction, with your only friend and ally being a horny she-devil bound to his service. Your enemies are numerous, ephemeral, and their awareness of your plans and whereabouts a great unknown. You need an action plan—somewhere to stow the Green Knight, someone to watch him while you plan and execute your mission…
What will you do?
