Maxim: "Do you suppose there's more of them in the forest? With apologies to Diamond for imposing, I don't think it would be wise to move out of here until the sun rises."

Diamond: "It wouldn't be an issue with me if I kept a party here, but aren't you and me still suspects, Max?
Oh, I just can't find it in my heart to nap in the same building as someone who could think we're affiliated with the same ilk who tried killing us."


The Alchemist clears her throat quite loudly, while Maxim turns to the witch hunter party.

Maxim: "Do you believe us?"

The Captain shrugs and hauls one of the captives over her shoulder.

Sei: "I mean, you stabbed one of them. That's something. Though I've seen heretics do more to try and pass themselves as law-abiding citizens.

SPEAKING OF STABBING. Oi stabgirl, you're a feisty bastard, eh? If you start chopping people down whenever they look at you wrong, we won't have anyone left to bring to trial."



Langley: "If we stand and let them shoot us, there'll be no one to bring them, Captain. Besides, I left one alive for you.

In times like that, it's do or die. You should know that.
And I was not trained to die."



Sei: "Start training to do your job while not dying, then."

The Fencer turns away, talking under her breath.

Langley: "I'd say I'm already quite good at it~"


Sei: ”Anyways. Alchemist, you have a bathtub or pool or other water feature? I'm going to teach these boys some good old fashioned witch questioning techniques.”

The Alchemist points to one of the larger cabins -

Diamond: ”First door to the left. Don't disorganize my mess.”

The Captain heads off into the cabin with her live cargo while Gabriel says a prayer for the dead, cleansing them of the Demon’s curse.


Charlotte: ”If you folks can keep watch for a moment, I’m going to see what the Captain can get out of him.”

She heads off after the Captain.

Entering the designated cabin and taking the first door on the left, you set the captive down in the bathtub, taking care to not knock over the various jars and bottles of alchemical concoctions on the floor and counter.

You locate a bucket and fill it with a well from outside before returning to the captive. Charlotte is also present, ready to learn what information you’re about to wring out of the heretic.

"Alright, heretical scum. This is how it's gonna happen. You're gonna get tortured, tried, imprisoned, then probably burnt on a pyre. You can't change that. What you CAN change is how hard we'll need to torture you. So spill the beans. Who are you people, and what are you planning? Why did you attack us?"

The heretic coughs for a few moments, clearing his throat before speaking.

Heretic: ”The church of Solis must fall. We will demolish its temples with shattering flame, burn its texts, and release the people from its shackle of lies. When we discover the formula of sulphur, we will choke you hunters in blinding smoke and burn you alive for your sins.”

Clasping your hands together, you whisper a prayer to Solis and channel his holy light from you to the corpses, cleansing them of the Demon’s curse.

Too late for them in life, perhaps enough to give them a peaceful rest.

See if any of the attackers dropped anything in the bushes. Maybe that runner did?

Sorry for gripping you. My name is Diamond, you need anything, ask. I don't need a brat getting into any death dew."

The Alchemist places a hand on Gabriel’s shoulder, gripping firmly.

Diamond: "Hey twerp, what are you always chanting? You're not a cultist trying to curse my already run down home are you?"

Gabriel: "I chant to channel Solis's blessings. Do you not recognize His light?"

Diamond: "I stay away from lecturing weirdos, tike. However, it wasn't enough to keep all this drama away from my home.
Sorry for gripping you. My name is Diamond, you need anything, ask. I don't need a brat getting into any death dew."


Maxim: "Where do they go, if they're dead and blessed after?"

~~~

Kanas follows after Charlotte to see what she’s up to. He finds her, and the Captain, in a washroom, where the Captain is interrogating one of the Captives seated in the tub.

The Captain slaps the captive twice across the face.

Sei: "Cut the usual preaching, tell me something I don't know. What were you following the alchemist girl for?"

Heretic: ”Searching for her recipes.”

You look around for anything the heretics might’ve dropped.

It’s a bit tricky, but you manage to recover a few items.

Crossbows, a few bolts. Nothing too interesting.

Where do people go when they die?

If they’re devout followers of Solis, they are sent to his holy realm to achieve full enlightenment.

Those who are cursed by the Demon, or reject Solis, are to be devoured by the Demon.

Blessing someone after they died can save them from obliteration, if too much time has not passed since their death.

You follow the Investigator into the cabin, where you find her with the Captain in the washroom lit by candles.

One of the captives is laying down in the tub, being interrogated of course.

Charlotte glances at you as you enter, but otherwise remains focused on the captive.

> Hm. Well I'd never use it, would slow me down too much, but who might...
Not the captain, it's not blunt enough. Not that boy good with the knives, it'd slow him down too much too.
The fisherman? Maybe. Or the alchemist woman.

Oh. Make sure it doesn't have any cursed eyes or witch insignias or other such delayed action problems on it first. Uh. Actually, find the priest so I can get my blessing refreshed before that.

Gabriel: "It's up to them; they can walk with Solis, or be consumed by the demon. Removing the curse gives them the choice."

Maxim: "It's good that you interceded for 'em, then."

Langley returns from her rummaging around the foliage, standing by the group expectantly.

~~~

Kanas leans against a wall, picking at his nails with a shiv.

Sei: ”Good boy. Why her recipes, though? What were you trying to concoct?”

Heretic: ”Toxic fumes. Explosives. Anything we could use as a weapon.”
