Is the legend of the BEAST of SEINS-DE-SAINT-ANNE all true?“Well.. my name is MARIE DI OMBRA, and these are my compatriots-.. the INVALID and HAG.” You gesture to your loyal disciples only to realize you neither know the cripple’s name nor do you recall the hag’s. “It’s good to meet one of sound mind here–perhaps less so body.”
“I am fine, believe me. The nuisances those impotent fools call “torture” was laughable–tickling me with blunt knives, depriving me of their foul fare..” The wolf scoffs, arms folded across his chest. “The bastards thought to drive me mad as a rabid dog. I am a chess grandmaster and polyglot. I have put more thought into breakfast than these madmen have put into their entire lives.”
“I don’t care if you’re polygamist or not, you mutt! You’re still the BEAST OF SEINS-DE-SAINT-ANNE!” The oracle peers out from behind you as if you were some kind of big, goth wall. “You butchered countless men and women, one and all–hacked them in half, skewered them on spears!”
“Oh, believe me, those lunatics did not deserve the grace of quick death I gave them. I kill out of necessity–they kill for pleasure. If you want beasts, just look to the streets.” MORNE’S maw pulls back into a grin. “It matters little anyways. They come back to life at the turn of every hour, just a little more sore in the gut.”
“I don’t presume you’re a local.” You look the church grim up and down, back bent, ribs visible through his fur. He seems far more hurt than he lets on. “Why did you come here in the first place? What’s here for you?”
“I have urgent affairs to attend to in QUARTIER DE DEVOTION. The details are of no import to you.” He grimaces. “Now, my “sexy liberators”--it’s been great, but I need to go. I’ve lost too much time already.”
>Wait. Morne owes you a debt. He could at least help you if your journeys’ destinations align, no?>Try to use your GOTHIC WILES on him.>Convince him of the greatness of the cult you just founded fifteen minutes ago.>Fine! Go be a blind dog somewhere else.>[Dice Roll] Attempt to convince him to tell you about his goals here.>[Write-In.]
