- It's good to see you, cub. I see you've made some changes to your warband. I wasn't sure if the Citadel would actually send you...or if you'd come.
- I came to bring you in, Forktail. That's all. You're going to pay for your crimes and provide the information you promised.
- That's what I want, too, but the Flame Legion doesn't. They've been sending assassins after me ever since I reached out to the Black Citadel.
- They were right on my tail until I holed up here. If they saw you come in, they're probably on their way.
- What was that, Forktail? Some kind of ambush? What's your game?
- This is no game. Those assassins were after me, not you. Flame is planning something big, and the entire Black Citadel is in danger.
- They'll kill me and anyone with me to keep this secret. Just get me back to the Citadel. Once we're safe, I'll tell you what you want to know.
- Yes. You will. Warband! Take the prisoner back to the Citadel's stockade and lock him up. I'll follow and make sure you're not being pursued.
- Watch for ambushes along the way. Brimstone wants Forktail alive, and that's how we're going to deliver him. Move out!
- Some died, some moved to other homesteads, and more than I'd like to admit joined the Svanir.
- Why would they join the Svanir?
- As far back as I can remember, the hunters in our homestead focused on acquiring power and little else. We made offerings to Bear, seeking to gain her strength, ignoring her guidance.
- When Jormag arrived, our focus on "strength above all" caught up with us. For far too many of us, Jormag offered a direct path to power. And so, they left in waves and will never return.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Just smack apart their nests and grab some, or kill the swarming critters themselves—some carry their eggs.
- Wait, I want to know about something else.
- And you want Erli to what?
- What's a Moot Father competition?
- At our annual moot, the males compete to be Moot Father. The one who wins gets to escort the Moot Mother—this year, it's Vastra—for the rest of the moot.
- What if the Moot Mother wants another Moot Mother instead?
- What a primitive practice. Sociologically fascinating.
- Not Moot Queen and Moot Drones?
- Uhhh.
- How strange.
- That would be more true to life. (laugh)
- Mm hm.
- Get the shaman first! He's making the others stronger!
- More assassins! Watch yourself, cub!
- Clavus? I suppose I should be flattered the Flame Legion considers me such a threat.
- Clavus the Breathstealer
- You're dead, Clement. And before you fall, we'll make you watch your cub die.
- That it was.
- Someone beat me to taking Scarlet's head. I wish I could have met that true hunter and shake their hand. Such a kill!
- Hello, my dear. I see that two of my Exemplars have taken a liking to you. Most intriguing! I'd inquire further, but Captain Thackeray is waiting. You should speak with him first.
- Thank you, Countess. I'll do that.
- Exemplars Salia and Mehid will meet you outside the enemy stronghold. I'm trusting the three of you to stop these White Mantle cultists before they spread.
- We won't let you down.
- Excellent. Seeing the look on the White Mantle's faces as the trap springs shut will be extremely satisfying. I should go prepare my forces for the mission. I'll see you there.
- Looking forward to it, Countess. I'll see you at the Seraph Protectors camp.
- Ah, the direct approach. Always a sound strategy. Alas, duty calls me elsewhere, so be careful. Do keep a close eye on Salia and Mehid. They're two of my best, but they can be...overzealous.
- I've seen them in action, and I trust them. Thank you.
- Well, %str1%, I trust your judgment. How do you want to deal with this White Mantle problem?
- Dungeon
- I like the sound of luring the White Mantle into a trap.
- A direct attack worked before. Let's put that strategy to work again.
- Let me think about this some more.
- I propose we ambush the White Mantle. We send an important official to patrol to Blackroot Cut, near one of the White Mantle's main hideouts. When they attack our bait, we wipe them out.
