>“If you truly plan on going to the monastery, I suggest you turn back. There’s nothing remaining there for you anymore. Err…who are you anyway?”Milly smiles. “Why, you’re looking at Fodlan’s number one circus performers, of course! We’re the Killer Trio! My name is Milly. Throwing Knife extraordinaire!” She deftly produces a dagger from her breast pocket and twirls it on one finger. “These are my companions. Caleb here can hit any target from 100 yards out!” She says, pointing towards the archer of the group. “And this fine specimen here is Theo. He’s the strongman of our group.”
Theo nods his approval. “I’m strong and I’m tough.”
“Garreg Mach is usually full of suck-err, I mean pilgrims this time of year! We were planning on visiting the monastery to perform and make some good gold. Though if the Imperial Army has really invaded the place, I suppose that complicates the matter…” Milly trails off.
“Wonderful. We’ve deserted the Empire, but at least we’re just in time to join the Circus.” Corrine mutters.
Caleb sighs. “The life of an artist truly is one of pain and suffering. Well then…if we’re to believe the word of our…new friends here…What did you say your names were?”
Corrine answers before you can. “Corrine. Corrine Weaver. This is my little sister, Blair.”
You try to hide your surprise, but you catch on quickly. Going by d’Rusalka at this point can only be a liability. A sad thought.
“Ahh, right. Corrine and Blair. Well then, if we’re to believe Corrine and Blair, heading to the monastery is an obvious no-go. Shall we make our way back to Charon?”
Theo groans. “Come on…this sucks! There’s no more money to be made over there!”
“Well, the alternative is performing for a bloodthirsty Imperial Army. Could be a good crowd, assuming they don’t outright conscript us and stick us on the front lines.”
Theo ponders the situation.
Milly sighs. “Charon it is, then.” She turns to you and Corrine. “Would you like to accompany us? These woods can be home to creatures far more dangerous than us. Safety in numbers and all that.”
