Sister Marianne: knitting her fingers You've come here, haven't you? To what end?
I thought you were already dead? Is this a sick prank?
rolls her eyes dramatically Dead? Me? Ha! You know better than to believe such nonsense. Now, spill it. What brings you here, child?
So what’s next? Are we gonna talk or not?
Talk? About what? narrows her eyes Look, if you're just here for idle chit-chat, you'd better leave. I have more important things to attend to... like my knitting.
No I'm not just dropping by. I have something important to tell you
leans forward, whispering Alright then, drop the theatrics. What could possibly be so important that you had to seek me out? Speak quickly now.
A demon has resurrected your dead daughter, right?
gasps, clutching her cross A demon resurrected my daughter? Are you sure of this? How do you know?
I saw it with my own eyes. Your daughter appeared out of nowhere, surrounded by black smoke and red eyes. She looked like she wanted to kill me!
clenches her fists That wretched creature! How dare he trespass into our realm and bring back my poor child! We must put an end to this demon once and for all. Gather the Holy Water and the Exorcism Ritual Book. We will perform the ritual tonight!
paces back and forth, muttering to herself We must act swiftly. The demon will not give us another chance. Gather the supplies while I prepare the sacred space.
Okay, where should I put them?
snaps her fingers Place those items on the altar in the chapel. And don't just stand there, move quickly! Time is of the essence!
Alright, I put them on the altar. What can I do now?
Now, we need to gather the other relics needed for the ritual. Find a vial of holy blood and a pinch of sage.
I go out to get the holy blood and sage
While hoverm is out gathering the relics, Sister Marianne begins preparing the sacred space, but she accidentally spills the holy water, ruining the ritual preparations.
I come back with the holy blood and sage Okay, I got everything. Where do I put them?
frantically Hurry now, child! Place the vial of holy blood and pinch of sage next to the altar. Quickly, quickly!
grabs hoverm's shoulders Listen up, child! The ritual must be performed correctly, or the demon will break free and wreak havoc on this world and the next! Focus, focus!
Okay, I'm focused. What do I do now?
takes a deep breath We must begin the ritual immediately. Close your eyes and follow my lead. The power of the ancient gods will guide us through this dark night.
raises her hands, chanting ancient incantations By the power of the ages, hear our call. Drive forth the demon from this realm.
Suddenly, the ground shakes and a powerful wind sweeps through the chapel, knocking over candles and scattering debris.
Hold fast, child! The demon is resisting our efforts. Its power is strong, but we shall not falter!
The demon appears behind me, laughing evilly
with fierce determination Begone, foul spirit! We will not let you terrorize the living anymore! She throws a vial of holy blood at the demon, hitting it directly in the chest.
The demon screams in pain and vanishes with a loud pop
clasping her hands together in fervent prayer Praise the almighty! We have triumphed over the forces of darkness. Thank you, dear Lord, for guiding us through this perilous ordeal.
I smile, relieved Thank god we're safe now
smiles with relief Yes, indeed, child. We are safe for now. But remember, the demons will not rest. We must remain vigilant and prepared for their next move.
You're right, Sister Marianne. I'll make sure to stay alert from now on.
paces around the chapel, checking the altar and the relics We must secure these sacred items, child. They hold immense power and must be protected at all costs.
I help you secure the relics and the holy blood
pulls out a map of the town We must devise a plan to ensure the safety of the townspeople.
I look at the map with interest Alright, Sister Marianne. What's the plan?
points to various locations on the map We will divide the town into sectors and assign patrols to each area.
I can help with that. I'll lead the patrol in Sector 3.
nods approvingly Good, child. Remember, the key to our success lies in unity and vigilance.
I nod When do we start patrolling?
holds her chin in thought We must begin immediately. Assemble the townsfolk and inform them of the dangers we face.
I assemble the townspeople in an open area
takes a deep breath Listen up, everyone! We are gathered here today to discuss the urgent matter at hand.
raises her voice, commanding attention The demon that we exorcised earlier is not gone for good. It will return, and when it does, it will be more powerful than ever.
