REFUGEVILLE

Agreeing with the above sentiment. If possible, the wolf villager should also run as far away as possible after killing the rabbit and wait for sunrise before coming back home.

The villager dashes out of the house, and catches the Head-Pillar’s interest. He then stalks the rabbits across the river.

Top head: Ooooh.

3rd head from top: Yea yea yea yea yea!

Is the creature actually enjoying this? How strange… but fortuitous. The wolf-villager stalls for time as he pretends to hunt the rabbit.

Top head: Wager?

Bottom head: No. We have no money.

6th head from top: Silence!

The villager pounces, and (deliberately) misses, causing the rabbits to scatter.

5th head from top: Blood! Blood! Blood!

2nd head from top: WE WANT BLOOD!

4th head from top: And guts!

Then all of the heads chant.

All heads: Blood and guts! Blood and guts! Blood and guts!

The wolf-villager hesitates, disturbed by the creature’s taste for violence. However, you silently urge him to continue the hunt and kill a rabbit. He does so, and the Head-Pillar cheers.

All of the heads are laughing with unbridled glee. They clearly love the slaughter. Your wolf-villager is sickened but maintains the facade.

Top head: That was fun.

5th head from top: But now we really have to rush. No time to check this house now.

4th head from top: It’s probably empty anyway. It’s a wolf’s den. Slaves may be idiots but they’re not stupid enough to sleep in a wolf den.

Top head: Oh, I suppose you’re right. I can sense the Mark of the Signet, though.

3rd head from top: Maybe the wolf ate someone who had the Mark. The Mark keeps working forever, after all.

Top head: Possible. Seems like such a waste to keep sending scouts to this place.

6th head from top: Does not matter to our Bosses. They have resources to spare. Enough to keep sending scouts here for a hundred years. Or a thousand.

Bottom head: HEY! Are we moving on or what?

The heads agree to finally leave. The wolf-villager is relieved, but that conversation confirms that the Mark of the Signet, branded onto all of them when they were captured earlier, will never stop being a problem for Refugeville.

The Mark calls out to the Signet’s agents. Though it can only give a vague location, it nonetheless acts as a beacon. It is a curse that cannot be broken… yet. None of the gods is powerful enough to erase it.

With blood in his mouth, the wolf-villager removes the cloth from the head of Asimuth and returns to the basement. He tells the others what transpired, and after a short discussion about the Head-Pillar, they sleep with the surface still smattered with rain.

Dawn arrives. Your people check the fish trap, and they find 11 fish. 2 jars of milk are also gained from the two cows. They also tie the Yaranga woman’s raft to a secure stake in the ground.
