==Transcript==
===Introduction===
"Do you know what we're supposed to be here to do?" You hope the question doesn't make you sound stupid to the crew. Your crew, actually. You need to remember that.
Jonas grunts. "The Dead Queen didn't tell us. We were hoping she told you."
"Well, at least we're all in the dark together."
Jonas raises his hand ballista up, puts the scope to his eye and squints through it. When he lowers the weapon, his gaze is still locked at a spot far out in the jungle.
"There's something among the trees. It looks almost like the roof of a temple, but I don't recognize any of the sculptures that are visible."
You nod. "Sounds like a good place to start."
The group continues to walk cautiously through the branching paths towards shore, deeper into the heart of the village, weapons out and ready for action. But everything is quiet. If there are merfolk in the vicinity, they seem to be keeping their distance.
As you move past two huts on the walkway, you hear a quiet splash from inside the one to your right and you remember too late those diving portals in the floors of the huts. The hair raises on the back of your neck as you realize the structures clustered all around you may be silent, but they are no longer empty.
The horn sounds again, and shouts ring out over the water as Merfolk warriors begin to stream out of the doors you passed by without a second thought.
===Conclusion===
Your sword parries one of the warriors' tridents, and you follow the move up by ramming your blade through his chest. You look around for your next target as you yank your sword free.
Jonas, taking advantage of the lull, loads his firearm with fresh quarrels. "Tell me, %boy%, where did you learn how to fight?"
You spin the blade, flicking away most of the blood coating it. "My father and I trained every day as soon as I was old enough to hold a weapon. All the children in my family are trained in the ways of combat."
The gnome nods approvingly. "It's nice to hear traditional family values are still being practiced."
