"I already told the Priestess this, but she didn't believe me.

We're being pursued by a giant, all-consuming meat monster. It absorbs any meat it comes across and grows bigger, and it already ate a few thousand zombies. Can take on several different forms.

My friends and I are on a mission to get to the Triplets' Rig up north so we can get some heavy weaponry to take out the monster. If the Priestess finds me guilty and has me executed, we're obviously not gonna be able to do that.

So. If you all decide to kill us, you might wanna stock up on artillery and firebombs afterwards."

The Inquisitor nods gravely.

Inquisitor: "I've seen stranger things before.

Still - If you speak the truth, then the Priestess already knows this. She has a gift of Vision, you see.
I do not believe she'd willingly draw unnecessary attention to our village. Things are hard enough as is, with the raiding plants, and the savages from the west.

Do not expect your disobedience to be easily pardoned, however."

"The problem with the uh, 'not drawing unnecessary attention', the meat monster is, kinda following us. My friends and I.

I told the Priestess that as well, she didn't seem to believe me.

The meat monster has followed us through a forest, killed our zombie wolf friends, chased us over a chasm, and through a military complex, though we've managed to slow it down and get ahead for the time being.


Not saying you should let us go to avoid drawing the monster here, but I really hope this process of judgement doesn't take long."

Inquisitor: "The Priestess has a, roundabout way of speaking, and going about things, ever since I've known her. If the situation is serious, I am sure she knows what must be done. Even if she doesn't show it."

The inquisitor actually cracks a smile, that of a person who's been asked that far too many times before.

Inquisitor: "What gave it away? The beard, the voice, or just my rugged, manly looks?"

"Sorry, you probably, get that a lot.

The only other guy I've seen since waking up is one of my companions, and he's a doofus.









Are there zombie babies?"

EVENTS:

Rosa gauges the snow's depth. A lot less than the night before, but there's still plenty to burrow in, if she sticks close to the ground.


The inquisitor rolls his eyes, as if he were expecting that question.

Inquisitor: "If you're asking if a baby or fetus could be turned undead, the answer is yes. Some of the more disturbing creatures I've met were the latter.

If you're asking if an undead could get pregnant... I don't know. But, a pregnant woman who is turned can certainly deliver a healthy baby. Though, it's a rare event."

"The whole ♥♥♥♥ house is surrounded by the Churchtown cult of the Master. We got a visit from an inquisitor. It looks like Eigla went out to negotiate.

We are going to hold our position, hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. I tried to wake you up earlier, but you were too far gone."

EVENTS:

Rosa scurries back around the house, and into the Garden's domain. The plant warriors are out in force, most mounted on their stags and horses, and a pair of tree-trolls hang from the great tree's branches. They all gaze at her with curiosity.


Peggy looks at Klimt blankly for a few seconds, then the situation sinks in. She bites her lip.

Peggy: "...Oh no. Do, do you think we'll be able to get out? I, I should get the truck ready, and-

Klimt. Whatever happens. I. Uh. If I, start acting strange, promise me you'll stop me. Don't hold back. I, I feel like I finally can think clearly for myself, b-but I don't know for how long it'll last. So.

Please don't let me eat the others. Or you."




Meanwhile, the inquisitor ogles Eigla strangely.

Inquisitor: "This morning. And I remember a lot. I might be old, but my memory isn't so-

Oooh. You mean it like *that*. I see. Well, I suppose I never told you.

I was born in that church some seventy-odd years ago. I have yet to die.

"Eigla says the enemies are standing down for now. She is going to negotiate with them. I am going to follow her.
She said for you to stay here and defend the mansion. Klimt and the other girls will be here too, they will help. Klimt is strong.
But do not attack unless clear fighting breaks out. The priestess's minions should leave you alone. Should."

"Ah. I woke up from a stasis container... A few months ago? Along with most of my companions. We're pretty out-of-touch with the world."
