==Transcript==
===Introduction===
Nobody moves. Nobody breathes. Nobody says a word. You're all too focused on the bodies that hang from the tree branches above you.
"Well, this certainly explains what happened to all those missing hunters." Your tone tries to make light of the situation, but fails miserably.
"Poachers." Gallows voice is dripping with contempt.
You and Tessa turn your heads towards the elf, both of you raising questioning eyebrows.
Gallows sniffs and begins pointing at the strung up corpses. "I caught him hunting an endangered species of caribou on the Frozen Plains. Him, I stopped from killing an entire colony of giant minks. I remember this bastard used a particularly cruel type of bear trap to hunt rabbits."
He pauses on the last of the dozen bodies and his gaze hardens. The woman was clearly made to suffer before she she gave up the ghost.
"She was the worst of them all." Gallows doesn't explain any further, but his voice makes it clear that he's glad the woman no longer walks among the living.
"So who..." Tessa leaves the question hanging in the air, instead looking around the clearing for a sign of who (or what) could have done all this.
Gallows motions for silence, unsheathing his bow in the process. His eyes flick to the trees as he nocks an arrow. "We're not alone."
Three arrows fly out of nowhere, slamming into the ground next to each of you.
Gallows crouches down and looks at the fletching on the bolt next to him. His eyes snap up in alarm. "Winter's Beard, it's Morridae."
===Conclusion===
In the end, it's Tessa who manages to take down Morridae and that's more of an accident than anything else. One of her arrows manages to catch the ranger's cloak and spike it to the ground. That gives Gallows the opening he needs to tackle Morridae and throw her bow out into the woods.
"Look at me, Morridae!" Gallows' voice cuts through the battle haze. "You know me! I would never stand with poachers!"
Morridae's eyes widen and she stops trying to stab your companion with her wicked hunting knife.
A few minutes later the two elves are signing back and forth, their hands flashing almost faster than the eye can follow.
The signing stops and Gallows turns back to face you. "Well, she's in. I told her you would institute a death penalty on any soldier who's caught poaching."
"But I didn't ask..." Your voice trails off and you pinch the bridge of your nose. You can feel a monster of a headache coming on.
