Night blankets the villages south of the wall. While the pacifistic Gagarians are huddling around what may be the last bowls they'll ever smoke, the Hildnr are preparing to march and ride out in force come the dawn. Thankfully, you're far enough north that the nights are a hell of a lot longer than normal. Looks like you have about fourteen hours to kill.

You'll probably want to make a stop at the armory to get equipped, at some point, but there's also a fair amount of feasting happening where a bard is telling tales of the Hildnr's victorious history. The Blood Queen is in attendance, accepting oaths and blessing the warriors.

Of course, if what you'd rather do is train, the training yards are open, and there's a small barracks hall that's been outfittedwith clean furs and a roaring fire so you can rest before unleashing your bloodlust. Thoughtful!

Just don't forget: you still gotta find the blood champion, save the helpless stoner fratboys, and make it over that fuckhuge wall before lunchtime tomorrow.

[mercyless]

[ they don't walk like they still have balls. ]

[ it wasn't anything worth repeating. walking towards the place where they're holding the feast. ]

[diices]

[ shrugs and walks to the feast thing ]

So, huh, listen. What do we know about the blood champion?

[mercyless]

The men have her.

[ why else would they be attacking someone they gladly hump once a year? ]

[diices]

What, that dinky village? They-- don't seem to be able to capture a fly, let alone a blood champion.

[mercyless]

Yeah, a blood champion.

[ now she's being sarcastic. do we even know what this champion is? it could be a dog. ]

[diices]

[ THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE BEEN SAYING WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY

blinks at her like what? ]

[mercyless]

[ it's her theory, you can take it or leave it. ]

[ despite all the crazy blood stuff these people seem reasonable compared to the folks they've met here so far. they wouldn't go around attacking people for completely no reason. ]

[ walking along in silence. ]

[diices]

[ he'll leave it ]

You don't think there's a blood champion?

[mercyless]

She exists.

[ glances at him. it's just that we don't know who or what it is. ]

[diices]

Well, if you have a theory you might as well share it.

[mercyless]

[ she told him the theory. ]

[ in her own... really crappy way. your fault for not picking it up. ]

[diices]

[ FIRST SHE WAS SARCASTIC THEN SHE SAID SHE EXISTS THAT'S NOT TELLING AT ALL ]
