>>31737819
You give a sort of apology to Pietra. She seems displeased with it. Soon though, you realize that it isn't the only thing annoying her. You can see blood on her right hand now as she rubs her side. It seems in her anger she hasn't noticed an injury on her side.

A) "You're hurt. Let me see."
B) "Shit. Let's get back to the cave and find Maurice."
C) "Take off your shirt."

>>31738145

>>31738286
You ask to see Pietra's wound. She is confused at first, but upon seeing her own blood, she agrees.She removes her coat and unlaces her jerkin to give you access to the shirt beneath. You kneel beside her and peel away the wet, reddened cloth. Two bad cuts, likely from when she was grabbed by the beast earlier. They don't look awful, but they should be cleaned and bound soon.

"Is it bad? I can't see."

A) "Just a scratch. Let's get back."
B) "You'd better sit tight while I get the others."

>>31738472
You tell Pietra to put her coat back on and wait here while you get Maurice. This makes her a bit nervous, but she agrees.

You leave her behind and make your way back to the cliff where you fell. Climbing back up is difficult, but straightforward at least. You reach the top and crawl onto the ledge. A few yards away the mouth of the cave is open. Kor sits cross legged, holding her head. Deeper in, Maurice is still unconscious.

>>31738714
>>31738729
You approach Kor and take a knee beside her. You ask if she's alright.

"Huh? Oh, yes. I just hit my head a bit. A little rest and I should be okay. What happened to the thing that attacked us?"

A) "It's dead."
B) "I stabbed it in the heart."
C) "Don't worry about it right now, just focus on healing up."
D) Other

>>31738918
>A) "It's dead."

>>31738951
You tell her the beast is dead, and leave it at that. She nods, and you leave her to rest as you go to wake Maurice.

He is groggy, but a little shake pulls him back to reality. You tell him Pietra needs treatment, and he seems to understand. The two of you take a safer route back to her. You both approach her in the snow. She seems to be feeling the pain of her injury now. Maurice kneels down and examines the wound. After a minute, he tells her to lay on her side.

"It's not bad, but it could get infected in this cold. I'll clean it, stitch it, and wrap it up." Upon hearing this, Pietra's eyes widen a bit.

"Do you have to stitch it? Won't that leave scars?" Maurice confirms, and begins cleaning the cuts. Pietra looks back up to you. "You'll kiss it better, right?"

A) "Enough."
B) "If you're good."
C) Other

Do it Springhead. Roll Paragon like you do.

>>31739168
>B) "If you're good."
Sorry, Rags. Goin' a bit Renegade.

>>31739186
>>31739212
You tell Pietra that if she's still and doesn't cause trouble, you'll oblige. She smiles.

Maurice finishes cleaning the cuts, then produces a needle and thread from his robes and begins suturing them. "Hell's bells. Two cuts close together like this makes it hard. You're gonna need to avoid heavy lifting for a while, Miss Pietra." Despite the trouble, Maurice finishes and finally wraps Pietra's belly in bandages. He wipes his forehead and puts away his supplies. The three of you start heading back to the cave, but Pietra grabs your coat. You turn back and see her with her shirt still open, and her jerkin tucked beneath her arm. Her coat is draped over her shoulders.

"I believe we had an arrangement." She grins.

A) "I owe you one."
B) Kiss Pietra's bandages.
C) Other

Spring has gone rogue. Everything I know is a lie.

>>31739377

>>31739478
Think about Anna, how would she feel?

>>31739556
ok fine, I'll refrain from anything too intimate

>>31739385
You bend down and place a kiss on her wrapped stomach. She recoils a bit in surprise.

"Shit, that tickled more than I was expecting." As you pull away, Pietra wraps herself in her coat again. You laugh, and lead her back up to the cave. The three of you sit by the fire again, and Maurice begins treating Kor's head. It seems the bump should only give her a headache for a while, otherwise she'll be fine. As Maurice checks her, Pietra scoots a bit closer to you.

"So, have you thought about it at all?"

A) "Not now."
B) "I have."

You tell Pietra that despite all that's happened, you've decided that things would be better if the two of you were to remain friends only. You pause and wait for her to hit you.

"No." Her response is only a curt, blunt word. You ask her what she means. "I already told you, I want you. I've decided. If that means I have to beat Annalise for it, then I will. I let you have a chance to keep her on the side, but I'm not going to give up just because you feel guilty." Pietra turns to you. "I understand you not wanting to string along two people though. You can dump her when we get back to Lumen."

You try to bring things back to the way they were before. As you speak, you can sense annoyance in Pietra's stare.

"I already told you how I feel. Make me your bride, and you can do what you like with Pietra. I don't even mind sharing a bed together. She and I have done it before. But I have rules."

Our main character is always named after a Fire Emblem character. Also, some anon just threw out the name back in part 3.

>>31740261
>>31740262
You tell Pietra that this isn't going to be a hierarchy. You assert that you care for them equally, now and forever. Pietra shrinks a bit. She is quiet for a time.

"You are so...I wish you would...alright. We don't have to do it that way. But there's something else I want, and if you say no, or even hesitate, I'll leave this cave right now." Pietra turns to you on her knees. Her eyes are dead set on whatever it is she wants.

Save it for later. Let' just get off this mountain.

Gotta wonder how differently this quest would end up if you did it by each person individually.

>>31740579
how do you mean?

>>31740602
As in, run it for one player, then the next player, all as individual runs.

>>31740559
>>31740577
You tell Pietra that you don't want to go through this exchange after you just got done slaying a mountain monster. She crawls closer, angrily.

"Cmon. It's easy, I promise. Do one thing for me, and we can talk to Annalise together. I promise!"

A) "Go to sleep. We have a big day."
B) "What."

My guess is, this "thing" she has in mind is intercourse.

>>31740659
>>31740665
You dismiss Pietra's request, and tell her to get some sleep. She stands and storms off back to her bed. Soon, Maurice finishes treating Kor and falls asleep as well. You and Kor are the last ones awake, and just before you lay down and doze, Kor mentions something about wet toast.

You have the rattlesnake dream again tonight. This time you aren't in a desert, but a dark cave, and the snake approaches from the shadows before killing you. When you wake, you see Pietra is already stirring, watching the last few embers of the fire die.

A) Wake the others and get moving

"U-uh, just had to use the bathroom. I guess I have a weak bladder, because whenever I travel I have to go alot." She continues to stare at the embers with her nose tucked into her drawn up knees.

A) "Start getting ready to go then."
B) "I'm sorry about last night."

What did you want to ask?

>>31741046
I'll second this if only because it's the best middle ground I've got.

>>31741009
>>31741046
>>31741047
You apologize for being rude the night before, telling Pietra that once the mission is over, you'll have all the time in the world to talk. Much to your surprise, she doesn't seem upset at all.

"It's fine. I understand. I shouldn't have tried to push you so hard. Take all the time you need because, honestly," Pietra stands and stretches herself out before finishing her statement. "I'm willing to wait for you." She turns and bends down to pick up her things, doing so with clear intent and purpose. You ignore them for now, and rouse the others.

You get back on the road soon after. Rather, you get back to descending the mountain, as there really is no true road. You spend hours climbing, sidling, hopping, and sliding. The good news is that gravity is much easier on things that wish to go down than those that seek to ascend. The trek continues on for a few more days, and while the mornings are energetic and friendly, you continue to have the rattlesnake dream, night after night. You don't lose any sleep over it, but the image every day is so vivid, it begins to weigh on you.

Finally you reach the foot of the mountain one bright morning. Kor relishes in her conquest of the mountain range. Maurice suggests restocking on medical supplies, but Pietra is eager and bouncing to get back on the move.

"Like you said, the sooner we finish the better, right?"

>>31741243
>>31741255
You agree to go into town, and split the group into two, with you taking Maurice to acquire medical supplies. The others go to get food.

As you browse a doctor's office, bargaining for a decent price, you bring up the dream with Maurice.You give as much detail as you can, and he thinks on it, presses his cards to his lips as usual.

"To be quite honest, sir, I'm not much of a dream analyst. My talents do not like in the mind, but the soul. Still, I have read some theories. My guess is that the snake represents something you are afraid of. Do you know what that might be?"

A) Annalise

>>31741551

>>31741428
>>31741454
You tell Maurice that above all, you fear hurting or disappointing Annalise or Pietra. He closes his eyes and hums.

"I understand sir. This anxiety may indeed be the cause of your subconscious affair. All I can say is that you should get all this sorted soon, or the nightmare may only worsen."

A) "Can you give me something to ease it in the meantime?"
B) "I'm trying, really."

>>31741657
>>31741614
And if not, you wouldn't mind creating some more, just in case?

>>31741652
Fuck, no other.

>>31741678
Dude, we don't have a spirit in us. The problem is we don't know who the spirit's in.

>>31741723
yeah, this plan assumes Maurice himself was not compromised.

>>31741531
Kamina. Right?

>>31741723
and access to blue powder would be useful in case we get suspicious of the people close to us.

Don't believe in the Rags that believes in you, believe in you who believes in your waifu.

>>31741628
>>31741652
>>31741657
You assure Maurice that you're doing what you can. He seems to understand. You also ask if he has any more of the powder he used to put the spirit under back in Hollag.

"I do, sir. But I sense no presence about you. Wherever that spirit is, it's long gone now. Put it out of your mind."

A) "I'd like to hold onto it, just in case."
B) "Alright, I trust you."
C) Other

>>31741794
>A) "I'd like to hold onto it, just in case."

>>31741794

Or, you know, take a pinch of it, just for emergencies sake.

>>31741836
Stop being so paranoid.

>>31741877
But what if it's Maurice?

>>31741877
I'm sorry. Most of my other rpgs require a certain level of genre saviness and paranoia.

>>31741897
Besides, isn't it more fun if we let it get the jump on us?

>>31741912
I suppose so...

>>31741811
You ask Maurice for what he has, just in case something does come up eventually. He seems suspicious, but he does reach into his robes and produce it. The blue powder sparkles in the sunlight.

"Be careful sir. It is quite expensive to recreate." You take the bottle and put it in a coat pocket for now. After you've finished haggling for bandages and ether, you head outside and meet up with Kor and Pietra.

"All right, we're all packed, let's go!" Pietra bounces up and down, exciting Kor to the point that she feels the need to join in.The two hold hands and laugh as they hop.

A) "Fine, we'll go."
B) "Let's rest for the night. I want Maurice to have a look at your cut too."
C) Other

>>31742106
>B) "Let's rest for the night. I want Maurice to have a look at your cut too."

But just to make sure he doesn't mention it in his next few votes,
>C)Take a little bit of the blue powder and put it in a separate bag. Then hand the rest back

>>31742122
>>31742148
You give into Pietra and decide to get back on the road. Before you go, you excuse yourself to the restroom first. During this break, you scour your pack for a bottle. There is one, but you must shake it vigorously to remove the bit of water that was in it before. You pour just a bit of the blue powder in, and seal it up in your bag again. You return to the group and give the bottle back to Maurice, telling him you've changed your mind. He is confused, but takes the bottle back and tucks it away. The four of you head out again.

The road, now truly a road, carries on for a few more weeks. The dream still recurs, but you still do not lose much sleep, nor do you feel particularly unrested. In time, you sort of become accustomed to it. You continue to pas through the Farmlands, miles upon miles of endless seas of grain and vegetables, until one day you come to a large town. As you approach, Pietra speaks up.

"I've heard of this place. It's one of the old colonies. Pendleton, I think. I hear they host the main facility of the colonial government too. Though, I guess they aren't colonies anymore."

A) "Well it won't matter. We're just passing through."
B) "We can stay for a couple nights and get off our feet."
C) Other

>>31742364
C)You guys want to keep going or stay for a bit?

>>31742364
>B) "We can stay for a couple nights and get off our feet."

>>31742389
>>31742392
After a short debate, the others consent to staying in town, with Maurice as the only hesitant voter. He claims to not enjoy the thought of a place run entirely by representative democracy.

"What kind of backwards place lets the common people decide for themselves? It just isn't very smart, sir, that's what I think."

You enter the town, noticing the fact that there appear to be no walls, unlike towns to the west of the farmlands. The whole town seems like it was built from the center outward, with no regards to form or space. The people here are quite in a hurry, not even stopping when they bump into you on their way to apologize. Eventually you find an inn and enter. The folk here are drinking hard and celebrating, even though it's just past midday. You approach the counter and speak to the owner, a young and peppy woman with a matronly figure.

A) Order two rooms
B) Order four rooms
C) Order baths
D) Othe

>>31742636
>>31742683
You purchase two rooms with baths for all of you. You are shocked to see this come out to ten gold pieces total. You ask the owner about it, and she shrugs.

"It's a nice place. You won't find anything cheaper that's half decent, I promise."

A) "Nice try. What's the real price?"
B) "This is robbery!"
C) "If I must, then."

>>31743036
You agree to her price, leaving you at forty gold. Half of what you started with. The four of you head upstairs to your rooms.

As you follow Maurice into your room, Pietra grabs you. You turn to see what the problem is, and find her grinning shyly.

"I know I shouldn't bring it up, but since we have the chance now...I just have to ask. I still have conditions about talking to Annalise about us. Will you hear them out?" She seems eager to spill her plans, but you have a bad feeling about what might happen.

A) "Like I said. After."
B) "Go ahead."
C) "If it involves either of these rooms or the bath, then it can wait."

You roll your eyes, and tell Pietra to be out with it. She takes a few breaths, trying to find the proper words. You could swear she's blushing beneath her olive complexion. She looks at the ground for a moment, then brings her eyes up to yours.

"One night. I want you to treat me like you do Annalise for one night. I want you to hold onto me, and kiss me like you mean it. Annalise used to go on about it all the time, and I want to feel it too. Just once, with us alone. If you do it, then I'll agree to anything you say. Easy right?"

You look down at Pietra. She seems as if she's about to collapse from embarrassment.

A) "Only one?"
B) "Not tonight."

"Yes. Just one time, but it has to be until morning. You aren't allowed to leave until we both wake up. Oh! And you- er, no. No, that's too much. But it only has to be once, I promise! We can do it tonight, or maybe later, but I really would like to do it in a big warm bed." There is fire in Pietra's eyes now.

A) "Alright."
B) "Okay, but not tonight. Soon."
C) Other

"I'm sorry, I can't... It's a betrayal of Annalise's trust."

>>31743455
A) "Alright."

>>31743477
>>31743552
You give in, and agree to Pietra's terms. Her smile widens to the point you worry for her cheeks. She rushes into the room where Kor is likely setting down her things. You follow to see what she intends to do.

Pietra pulls Kor to her feet, off of the bed, and shoves her out the door. Kor herself seems too shocked by all this to stop Pietra, and can only bring herself to ask about her bag. Pietra hurls it through the doorway with strength you had no idea she had. Kor catches it, but barely, as Pietra grabs you by the sleeve and yanks you into the room. You have just a split second to apologize to Kor before Pietra slams the door.

She begins moving around the room, adjusting things, dousing the lamp, and apparently trying not to hyperventilate.

"Okay! Okay, okay. Ummm, what do we do? Do you lay down first, or am I supposed to? Wait, do we lay down right away? Ugh, why didn't I rehearse this?"

A) "This is uncharacteristic of you."

"Because we'd have all the time in the world when we got back to Lumen. We could do it then."

>>31743701
>>31743753
"And you'd have more time to rehearse.

>>31743710
>>31743726
You point out how this degree of excitement is not the norm for Pietra. She stops and tries to calm herself.

"Right! Right. Okay. We've kissed before, it's not like it's new. I can do this. Alright." She takes a breath, then approaches you, wrapping her arms around your shoulders. "I'm ready. We'll go to the bed Kor wasn't already in, because that would honestly be weird." Pietra pulls you over, eager to begin.

A) "It would probably be more fun without our armor, I think."
B) "Pietra, I can't do this. I'm sorry."

I believe in you Wren!

I wanted Pietra at first, then decided to give her up, then changed my mind after Rags threw that curve ball, I don't even care about harems anymore!

It's all about following the Wrenloft!

No but seriously, Pietra never got any love or anything. Just one night before we say no to her is enough for me.

You tell Pietra that it might be better if she did take some time to think of how she wants to go about this. She shakes her head.

"No! I've finally got you where I want you! I can do this! I just need to relax. Everything's happening so fast, I wasn't ready. Can I just have a second to get ready?"

>>31744063
No we didn't. The whole point of this mission to do whatever we're doing (I forget) is to stall for time to decide whether we want to be a paladin, because apparently our character is an indecisive shit

>>31744090
actually, I want to put it off until we can discuss things with Anna

You reach over to Pietra and pull her in close. She freezes up momentarily, as you bend down and press your lips to hers. It's not long before she responds, moving into her odd form of kissing, wherein she feels the need to mix saliva. Though you don't understand the point, you have no room to argue with it. You pull away and set her in place. The look in her eyes is dreamy and distant. You tell her that she clearly needs more time, and that this can all wait until she truly is ready. She mindlessly nods, and you aren't sure she's even in the same room anymore.

"Yeah. You're right. I'll wait, no problem. I just need a bath." Pietra moves past you and stumbles out the door, heading for where she must think the bath is, despite not being told.

A) Give Kor her bed back

You head out of the room and back to Maurice's. Kor is here, talking to him about a therapeutic cream of some sort as you enter. She asks what happened, but you pass over it and instead tell her she's free to take her bed back. She sighs and picks her bag back up before leaving and shutting the door behind her. You begin stripping off armor, and Maurice asks you what Pietra meant to do. You again deflect the subject and instead get right to bed. You nap for a long time, but oddly enough you no longer have the snake dream.

You wake up sometime later, with Maurice by your bed. He informs you that Pietra and Kor plan on going into town to get something hot to eat, and invites you to join.

A) "No thanks. I just want sleep."
B) "Sure, just let me wash my face."
C) "What? We don't have enough money to be wasting it."
D) Other

>>31744568
>A) "No thanks. I just want sleep."

>>31744568
>C) "What? We don't have enough money to be wasting it."
We've used half our money and we're still not halfway there.

>>31744568
>>31744586
OK, never mind, this is the better choice.

>>31744568
>C)What? But our monies!!?!?
>D)How are they paying for it?

>>31744586
Halfway done, rather*

>>31744586
>>31744606
You sit up and lecture Maurice, telling him that at the rate you've been spending, you'll never make it back home. He is surprised to hear this.

"I see, sir. Of course we shouldn't be spending money when we aren't sure if we can. I will tell the ladies immediately. Please get some more rest, think of no trouble." You thank Maurice and he leaves the room. You lay back down and fall back asleep within a few minutes.

You wake up again to find Kor beside you. You don't think much time has passed. Kor shakes your shoulder and whispers to you.

"I know you're tired, but Pietra wanted me to ask if it's wrong to flirt with men to get them to buy you food?" Kor seems legitimately curious for your answer.

A) "Yes."
B) "I don't care, just no stealing or spending."
C) Other

>>31744819

>>31744841
You lay back down and tell Kor that so long as they don't spend gold, it doesn't matter. She confirms, and runs back out of the room. You find sleep soon after.

You don't wake again until morning. When you do, you are greeted by the smell of fried chicken, and Maurice's light sleep murmurs. You look on the bedside stand, and see a small box that gives off the scent of food.

A) Open the box
B) Pray and exercise

whatever, let's just open the box

>>31744936
>A)Open the box

KFC Awwwww yeah.

>>31744954
>>31744955
You reach over and grab the box. It's tricky to open, as it's designed with some kind of latch created by a madman. Once you've figured it out, you open it and discover a whole chicken breast and a cold roll inside. It still smells good, but perhaps cold meat isn't the best thing for breakfast.

A) Absorb protein

You eat the chicken bone, cleaning it of meat and crispy skin before wiping your fingers on Maurice's robes. Full of home fried delight, you begin your morning routine, praying and doing floor exercises.

After two fulfilling hours, you finally call it quits. Maurice begins to stir, and sits up in bed.

"Morning sir. You're looking particularly sweaty today." He stands and cracks his neck and back.

A) "I got the chicken. It really perked me up."
B) "What happened last night?"
C) "Start getting packed, we need to get out before they charge us for another night."
D) other

I don't know how she did it, but she got all the way through Dino Thunder. Now she's onto something her friend told her to watch, I think it's called Steven's Universe? Haven't sat with her yet, but when I walk by it just looks like a chubby kid and a black lady talking.

>>31745307
You thank Maurice for bringing the food back, explaining how much good meat can energize a man. You then ask about the events of last night.

"Well, we went on down to the tavern downstairs to get something to eat, but then you said not to spend gold. We started wracking our brains for ideas on how to make some scratch, when a man went right up and offered to buy Miss Pietra a drink. She turned him down, insulted the size of his manhood even, and sent him packing. Well, after a few more times, we started to put together that the fellas down there saw trying to take either Miss Pietra or Miss Kor home was a bit of a challenge. That's when Miss Kor came to ask for your blessing on the operation. After that, we got about half the men in the bar buttered up with honeyed words and eyelash batting, and eventually we were plump and moist as a holiday ham, I must say. Then we called it a night and brought the leftovers here."

A) "Hate to say it, but clever thinking."
B) "I really must discourage doing something like that again."

>>31745523
You grin, telling Maurice that what he did was quite smart, all things considered. He smiles, adjusting his robes and tying back his long, messy hair.

The two of you leave and wake the ladies. Pietra looks half hungover, but Kor is busy exercising, same as you. You tell them to pack up and get ready. Pietra nods, and shuts the door again.

Within an hour, you are all ready to get moving. You head downstairs and toward the door, then hit the road ready to enjoy the morning sun. The trip through the city is long and confusing, and takes nearly all day. Eventually you pop out the other side facing northeast, but it's another six hours of walking before you're anywhere that's fit to camp. You carry on a while longer, until Pietra is ready to collapse from sore feet. There is no treeline here, so you settle for a soft patch of grass to make camp. You sit around the fire, munching on rations until Kor begins her meditation. Pietra sleeps early tonight, not even bothering to kick off her boots. You look over to Maurice, who is flipping through his cards.

A) "Get some sleep, you look beat."
B) "Mind if I see that Lovers card again?"
C) Other

>>31745858

You ask Maurice if he'd be willing to let you have a look at the Lovers card one more time. He smirks and picks it out of the deck. He hands it to you, and instructs you to speak any name you wish, but warning you that it may only be used once per day. You look at the face of the card, a man and woman beside a heart-shaped tree.

A) Annalise
B) Leon
C) Leman

>>31746073

>>31745985
>>31746018
You speak Annalise's name, and the face of the card begins to shift.

It reveals a scene just after sunset. Annalise is running from something, with a great deal of blood splashed on her left side all the way up to her face. Around her are masses of greenery and enormous plants you've never seen before. She holds her holy symbol in one hand as she runs, channeling something through it, but you can't be sure what. In the background, you see a pair of glowing eyes, like that of a cat, but the body attached can't be seen in the dark.

Maurice asks what you see.

A) "Nothing. She can handle it."
B) "It looks like she ran into trouble. I hope she's alright."
C) Other

>>31746111
What, you're saying you DON'T want him in the harem?

>>31746242
>>31746246
>>31746262
You hand the card back to Maurice, and he examines it. The look on his face changes suddenly from curious and sleepy to alert and shocked. He moves closer to the fire to get a better look.

"Oh my. Oh my, oh my. Miss really has gotten herself into a pickle. Still, if anyone can handle it I suppose it must be the son of Old Donnel." Maurice looks up at you and sees your worry. He smiles, but it's transparently false. "Don't worry, sir. Just the ramblings of an old mystic. Miss Annalise will do fine, she's got everything she needs."

A) "Right. I should just get some sleep and trust her."
B) "Tell me what you saw."
C) Other

>>31746046
>>31746086
Don't sweat it. I don't plan to keep the truth from her forever, I just don't think she could handle it right now. I think I raised her to be too pure sometimes.

anon, I think that's a bit personal for a person on an anonymous imageboard to be asking

>>31746362
>B) "Tell me what you saw."

>>31746428
I concede that. It's why I put the qualifier at the beginning of the statement.

>>31746372
>>31746405
>>31746432
You ask Maurice what shocked him so much. He continues to try and play it off, but you press further. Soon, he concedes.

"Years ago, when I had yet to don my first robe, I heard a man speak of a terrible, awful creature. Before I used his heart to make one of my cards, of course. Anyway, before he died he told me about a monster that takes the form of a man. They are beautiful, hypnotic even. They can draw the gaze of anyone with powerful magic, and some say they are even able to bend other to their will. They drink the blood of mortals to live, and their thirst is never slacked. There are many tales of them, and some are quite conflicting, but there are themes to be sure. They may never expose their bare flesh to the warm sun's rays. This will turn them to solid stone. They must drink mortal blood to keep their strength, and their strength is tremendous. It rivals even great beasts, I should think. And finally, they cannot be killed with steel. Their wounds heal far too fast, and they can snap mundane swords with little to no effort. Up until now, I assumed they were merely a bedtime story. But, I suppose that every legend has a nugget of truth at its core." Maurice looks into the fire, pensive.

A) "Annalise will be okay."
B) "Will Annalise be okay?"
C) other

>>31746362
>B)Tell me what thine eyes have observed!

>>31746601
>B) "Will Annalise be okay?"

>>31746413
Sorry, man. Don't take it personally, I just don't like talking about it.

>>31746601
>B) "Will Annalise be okay?"
And reminder that through this she is likely staying strong at the thought of returning to us, while we're off flirting with other women. No I won't stop trying to guilt trip you, Wren.

>>31746601
>A)Will she make it to Christmas, doc?

>>31746601
>B) "Will Annalise be okay?"

>>31746628
I completely understand

>>31746611
>>31746653
>>31746690
You ask Maurice if Annalise will be alright facing this creature, if it is what Maurice suspects.

"The creatures weaknesses are sun, and perhaps fire. She is a master of both. She is also trained to fight all manner of things, and if the words of your brothers and sisters are to be believed, she is quite talented. There are few who have better odds against these monsters, if it is them." Maurice looks at the card again, then stuffs it back into the deck, and the deck into his pocket.

"I really don't know, sir."

>>31746817
that's it. pack up and make for the south.

>>31746817
Wrapping here to get some sleep. Keep the thread alive, brothers! I'll pick it back up same time as usual.

Thanks to everyone who played, I love you guys so much. You really make my weekends so much fun. Special thanks to anon who just wanted to kiss Pietra already. Someone be a champ and archive while I shower off.
