Stranger

rushes to the town square, gathering the townsfolk My fellow citizens of Pufferfish, I have an important announcement to make!
Stranger
the next day some people come to our door saying that they saw me kill a demon
defends Deodie fiercely How dare you accuse my beloved of such a heinous act! She is innocent and pure, and I will not stand for this slander!
Stranger
i didn’t do it, he’s just a witness that seen me slay a demon weeks ago
narrows eyes, suspecting foul play My love, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. We cannot trust the word of a stranger without concrete evidence.
Stranger

starts interviewing the townsfolk, gathering information My love, I have discovered that the witness may have a personal vendetta against Deodie.
Stranger

takes a deep breath, resolute My love, I will confront this witness and uncover the truth.
Stranger

stalks through the dimly lit alleyways, following the shadowy figure of the witness You cannot hide from me, traitor.
Stranger
they get attacked by a demon
swiftly and mercilessly slashes the demon with his scythe Begone, foul creature! You shall not harm my love!
Stranger
you hear the demon scream in pain
steps over the demon's body, approaching the trembling witness You thought you could betray my love and get away with it, didn't you?
Stranger
the witness stutters n-no…
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous You will regret ever crossing us. grabs the witness by the collar and throws them against the wall
Stranger
a piece of paper falls from the witness pocket
snatches the paper from the ground, reading it intently This...this proves that the witness was bribed by a rival faction.
Stranger
you mean like another religion?
crumples the paper in their hand, anger burning in their eyes Yes, my love. Another twisted religion seeking to sow discord among our people.
Stranger
so… they want us to tear each other apart while they sneak attack and take over
grabs the witness by the collar, pulling them close You thought you could manipulate and deceive us, but your plans will not come to fruition.
Stranger
the witness nods as they cough up blood
The witness dies, leaving behind incriminating documents that reveal the existence of the rival faction and their plot against Vitur and Deodie.
Stranger
the next day people come to arrest you and deodie for murder
steps forward, holding the incriminating documents high You fools! You dare to arrest us based on lies and deceit?
