Yes–what if you make fun of HER stupid toothpick legs?You should insult her, yes–what better way to flaunt your victory as a master strategist? You cup your hands over your mouth and shout, for all the breadth of the district to hear, from the deep-dug graves of the churchyard to the blood-red guillotines that line the streets to the high rows of steep pitch roofs:
“Chicken-legged bitch!” Your shout carries down to the knight as a blade whizzes past your head.
Your wolf’s jump finds purchase on the tip of the wall with a hard thump, just barely crossing the threshold and sending your lot tumbling out over the flat edge of the roof. The shouts behind you–low, tumultuous groans of the giant and the cold shrieks of swords in the air–fade far away as you make it to the QUARTIER DE DEVOTION.
You take a moment to pick yourself up, one hand on your head and another on your staff–all bones and limbs in check, good..
“Ah, we made it! Finally!” The hag seems right elated, a gummy grin twisting her gnarled features. “Let me tell you, sweetie–you did the right thing picking me over that right nasty INVALID. My fortune telling abilities will do you good! He can go and sit around and watch us get to the top from all the way down there.”
Her voice rings in your ears. She might be more useful, but the invalid was at least quiet.
You cast your gaze down over the roof behind you–the whole of the QUARTIER DE PUNITION, black churchyards, cold buildings lit by dim lantern-light, nooses and blades on the streetcorners–and below even that, the giant eyeing you and the knight glaring up.. Maybe you should hurry down?
“Don’t worry about them.” The wolf’s voice cuts through to you between pants. “Don’t think they’ll follow us over. I hear Bishops don’t play nice with one another..”
You look to Morne–bloody, broken, and bent in a heaped slump along the wall’s edge.
>Attend to Morne’s side.>Ask the hag to divinate the wolf. There anything you can do?>Look over to the QUARTIER DE DEVOTION.>Write-In.
