## Shanaw & The Family

 ###  Night After Recruitment.

This dialogue occurs the night after Shanaw is recruited into the camp.

So... What's your name?

...

... You don't know how to talk?

...

I see you have a tongue, it's sticking out when you eat.

* Eirik: -10 to opinion of Shanaw

So talk. Now!

...

* Shanaw: -20 to opinion of Eirik

Maybe if you asked her nicely, Dad... Hi, I'm Kari. This my dad. He's a bit blunt, but he's great. What's your name?

...

If you don't talk, we'll have to kick you out of our camp, you know?

... Shanaw.

What's that?

It's her name, dummy.

*(She waves her head in approbation.)*

... Good... Another annoying child to look after...

Nice to meet you Shanaw. Where do you come from?

... Somewhere else.

... Okey... Baby steps... What should we ask next?

* **Ask about her people.**

What about your people, Shanaw? Your family?

Are they as annoying as mine?

... Family... Dead.

Before or after coming to this cursed island? Have you attacked by Björn too?

... Aich-mud-yim brought me here. He wrecked my canoe!

Sounds like someone I wouldn't want to meet. A relative of yours?

Never! Aich-mud-yim is the devil of men!

Devil? Does she mean Loki?

Let's just hope she didn't bring this Aich-mud-yim with her in our peaceful camp...

* **Ask about her skills.**

Tell me, Shanaw, what is your trade? How can you help with the camp?

Shanaw can't help with talking.

*(We figured as much...)*

Hunting. Shanaw can help.

Yes, you look like someone who lives... close to nature, I'd say.

That was a subtle way to tell her she needs a bath... Quick.

Smell good for hunt. Sleep good for hunt. Now sleep.

## Shanaw & Blodeuwedd

 ###  Tribe Mother

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Are you mother of tribe?

I am Kari's mother... And this is already a full-timejob, believe me.

Yes. Shanaw knows. But are you mother of the tribe?

Heh, who am I kidding? In a way, yes, I suppose I am.

Is husband good to you?

Of course! He takes care of us. We would have been burned alive in our own house if he didn't.

...

What about you, Shanaw?

* **Where is your family?**

Does your tribe live near? You seem to be more used to this place than we are.

Not far. Not enough. Tribe doesn't like Shanaw anymore. Shawna hates tribe.

What happened? Did you flee from your family?

...Aich-mud-yim... Happened...
Tribe says Moon spirit lives in Shanaw's heart. But Shanaw is only Shanaw...
Aich-mud-yim take their small souls!

* Shanaw: +depression

Shh. Calm down, Shanaw. There is nothing to fear as long as you are with us.
Whatever happened with your tribe, I'm sure it can be sorted. People do stupid things sometimes.

...You nice... You really Mother of tribe.
Mother Fiery Vixen

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

Blodeuwedd: +Tribe Mother trait

* **Do you have a husband?**

Do you have a lover, someone who cares about you, who's waiting for you in your tribe?

... No. NO! SHANAW NO HUSBAND!

...! Okay... Okay... Sorry to pry... Forget it. (Something must have happened... She's furious. And scared.)

Sorry... Tribe Mother nice with Shanaw, but Shanaw yell.

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

 ### Hunting with Shanaw

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Tribe Mother! Will you go hunting with Shanaw tomorrow?

Hunting? This isn't really my trade, Shanaw. I could, but I think I'm more useful here at the camp.

Does husband forbid Celestial Vixen from going hunting?

No, no... Eirik doesn't forbid me from doing anything... he is not like that.

... Really, Tribe Mother?

Yes, Shanaw. Why don’t you believe me?

* **Tell me what really happened to you.**

You can't hide forever, Shanaw. If you tell me, maybe I could help.

Tell Tribe Mother what?

Tell me why you left your tribe. Were you exiled?

No. Shanaw left because Shanaw wanted.

But what made you leave? Or who?

Shanaw left because Shanaw didn't want husband.

Shanaw want free. Like birds and clouds! Shanaw IS free! And...

...

And what? I'm listening. I won't judge you, Shanaw.

Nothing.

* **Is something wrong?**

You don’t look well. Bad memories?

... For days, we played and we played, and was great fun. But didn't end well.

What didn't end well? What happened, Shanaw?

... Shanaw was getting husband. Was supposed to be fun. Was supposed to be fun... But didn't end well!

Why? You can tell me.

Shanaw don’t know. Shanaw sleep now, Tribe Mother.

* Shanaw: + Depression

## Shanaw & Eirik

 ### Hidden Raven

So, beast-child, you still don’t want to talk to me?

...

Fine, I get it. As long as you do your share of the work, I don't care.

* [[Eirik: -10 to opinion of Shanaw

I think you remind her of someone she doesn't want to talk to.

Oh, I'm used to the world hating me for no reason, my love. As I said, it's fine... At least Kari has someone of her age to "talk" to. ljust wish she was a bit more... civilised.

Which one of these two animals are you referring to, Eirik?

Was it supposed to be funny?

* Kari: -10 to opinion of Moira

Shanaw is animal. Shanaw is Hidden Raven!

You are not very well hidden, Hidden Raven. I can see your feathers sprouting from this poor girl.

**\*So, you made friends with Grumpy Bear?**

It seems like you two are getting along fine, aren't you?

Kari not Grumpy Bear! Kari is... Howling She-wolf!

Hopefully, the howling part doesn't show too often... yet.

Try me! What about you, Old Blabbering Moose?

AHA! That's Moira!

* Shanaw: - Depression

Grumble... And what about your father, Angry Lamenting Walrus?

Come on! I'd say Grumpy Bear was more fitting to Eirik.

And how shall I call you, then? Mama Bear?

...!

Mama Bear, no.

Celectial Vixen. Blodeuwedd is.

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Blodeuwedd

**\*Hidden Raven?**

Why do you call yourself Hidden Raven, if your name is Shanaw?

...

* Shanaw: -10 to opinion of Eirik
* Shanaw: + Depression

... I wish Bjorn would ignore me like you do. Maybe I should try this on him.

* Eirik gains the negative trait Upset for 4 days.

Dad, could you stop harassing her with your questions, please?

Kari... Respect your father, please?

Hey, I have a great idea! What about playing "let's all go to sleep before things get worse"?

That sounds like a good idea.

## Shanaw & Kari

### Let's Play a Game.

This event does not have a specific trigger, and will occur randomly once Shanaw has been recruited.

Wolf Pup Kari... Tell Shanaw about tribe.

My tribe? My family, you mean? Well, there's Mom, Dad and my aunt, Moira... They can all be a pain in the ass, but each one in a different way.

They don't want play with Kari?

Play? Definitely not! Moira can be funny, sometimes... But my parents. They're so booooring...

Let's play game!

... Hmmmmyeaaah. .. Maybe. What are the rules?

Easy! Shanaw and Kari run and go as far, as fast as possible. First one who runs out of breath loses!

* **Sounds fun, let's play!**

This is really a silly idea... But I need some silliness at the moment!

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

We'll need to wait a bit until everyone is sleeping... I don’t think my parents would approve.

Great! Shanaw can’t wait!

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

(Shanaw and Kari snuck out into the night, and ran under the stars like if there was no tomorrow. Hearts beating, wind blowing, feet thumping. It was foolish, dangerous, and liberating. Running, jumping, falling and laughing, they came back bruised, exhausted, and happy.)

* Kari & Shanaw: - Depression
* Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
* Kari gains Sprained Foot for 3 days.
* Shanaw: + Injury.

* **I'm not too sure about this...**

???

### A Moonlight Swim.

Ready for game, Fox Kari?

What now...?

Night is clear. Perfect for swimming under moonlight! First who turns back loses. Winner ask loser anything. Can't refuse. When everyone asleep, Kari and Shanaw run to the beach. What do you say, Howling She-wolf?

* **Absolutely not!**

* **Sounds like a plan.**

You're batshit crazy, Shanaw. That's what I like about you...

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

Let's do this. Crazy is better than boring!

Kari will love game. Better than fun... Makes Kari feel alive!

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

(Once everyone fell asleep, they ran to the sea and spread their clothes on the rocky beach. Two young pale shapes went across the chilling blackness, like swift daggers into the night. They swam wildly under the cruel moon, until they felt there would be no turning back. Neither wanted to lose. But both wanted to live, so they called it a draw. And hardly made it back. They laid down side by side on the wet pebbles, breathless, shivering and smiling, until dawn found them.

* Kari & Shanaw: - Depression
* Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
* Kari: + Constitution
* Kari & Shanaw gain Sneezing for 3 days.

### A Risky Game.

This event occurs if the player chooses "Sounds like a plan." during "A Moonlight Swim"

Pssst, Kari, Shanaw have idea for REALLY great game...

Yeah? Something that will get us both killed?

No! But there is risk. No fun without risk, yes?

Where would the fun be ifwe weren't stranded on a deadly island and bullied by violent thugs?

Listen now! Shanaw know where Bjorn's man patrols every night. Alone. Always follows same path along seashore. Then sits on rock and watches sea. Every time, so drunk man falls asleep for long time. Shanaw and Kari steal man pants while man snores. What Kari say?

* **No, this is TOO risky.**

There isn't much to win, but there is A LOT to lose. No, Shanaw, we can't do this.

* Kari: -10 to opinion of Shanaw

Why no??? Poor idiot man always drunk, never see us coming.

And then we'll have Bjorn's killers on our doorstep in the morning for a little revenge.

No way! We're not just risking our lives here, we're risking the lives of everyone in the camp.

Pfff. Pussycat girl from Pussycat tribe. Shanaw will play alone with man.

* Shanaw: -10 to opinion of Kari

Whaaat? Don't do it, Shanaw! You'd be endangering everyone!

Afraid, always afraid! Shanaw is hunter, not hunted. Choose side Kari.

Seriously, forget it. It's a BAD idea. Please, Shanaw!

Fine, fine, urgh... Shanaw won't do it tonight. Maybe tomorrow...

* **I'm in.**

I'd be happy to fight back, we've cowered in fear for too long...

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

But we can't be seen! If he links us back to the camp, we'll run into really big trouble. So if we're not totally sure he's sleeping, we give up.

Bah! Hit him on head. Hard.

No! This is risky enough. We do it my way or we don't.

Fine, fine... Still better than not playing game...

*(And so they crawled in the dark, stealthy as young wolves. The man was already there, sitting in front of the ocean, his head down, a heavy bag next to him. Shanaw approached silently and then reached for his bag. But not silently enough. As the man suddenly awoke, he grabbed Shanaw’s hand and drew his blade. Before he could act, Kari kicked him in the stomach with all her strength. He fell down the cliff with a muffled groan, breathless, his eyes wide with surprise. He bounced a couple of times on sharp rocks before the sea's blackness swallowed him. Shanaw and Kari gazed at each other, without a word. The bag contained a few useful supplies.)*

+  Wool  Fish Bait, Trap  Dried Meal

*(Nothing would ever be the same)*

* Kari gains the negative trait Guilty Feeling for 2-4 days.

### Blood Bond.

This event occurs if the player chooses "I'm in" during "A Risky Game". Unlike most events, this one occurs the afternoon immediately preceding the "A Risky Game" event the night before.

...

...

So what?! Kari and Shanaw killed bad man. Kari and Shanaw should be happy!

Dummy, it's not that easy! If Bjorn learns that we killed one of his men... Not only he will come for us, but maybe he will kill EVERYONE in the camp. Because of us...

... Shanaw will protect Kari from Evil Bjorn.

That's not the problem... Urgh, you don't understand... If my mom learns about it... I would rather face Bjorn...

Tribe Mother doesn't have to know! It's Kari and Shanaw secret now. Don't tell anyone. Trust?

...

* **I trust you.**

I trust you Shanaw. We share a special bond now.

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

Secret, yes. Bond. Blood bond.

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

*(As she says these words, Shanaw swiftly cuts her fingertip with a knife. She licks a bit of the blood flowing, then points her finger at Kari.)*

Blood bond.

*(Kari gazes into the eyes of Shanaw, to see her soul. She slowly advances her mouth towards Shanaw's bloodied finger. She gently puts it in her mouth, and instinctively rolls her tongue on the wounded area. The taste is strong and salty, but attenuated by the warmth she felt in her upper torso.)*

* Kari gains Blood bond permanently.
* Shanaw gains Blood bond permanently.

* **You're just trouble.**

???

### Wanna Go Hunting Together?

This event occurs if the player chooses "I trust you" during "Blood bond".

Hey Shanaw! Wanna go hunting together?

YEAH! Let's go Wolf Puppy! First to shoot rabbit with arrow wins!

Ahaha wait for meeee!

*(Kari and Shanaw went hunting together for a few hours. All their running and jumping and uncontrollable laughter made the hunt... Not very bountiful. But at least they had a lot of fun. )*

* Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
* You gain Raw Meat

Ahaha Kari and Shanaw very bad hunters...

We'll call it a draw... We're equally mediocre aha!

... Shanaw likes to pass time with Kari Friend. No, more than friends! Kari is like sister Shanaw never had. Teehee!

* Shanaw: +20 to opinion of Kari

...

* **Likewise.**

It's true that at least, when I'm with you I'm never bored... That's a BIG change in my life! Hehe. I'm glad mom and dad accepted you in the camp, Shanaw. It wouldn't be the same without you...

* Kari: +20 to opinion of Shanaw

... LAST ONE AT THE CAMP IS LOSER!

* Shanaw gains Cheerful for 5 days.

HEY! You cheat!!! Wait for me!

* **Joke**

???

### Gloomy Cave

This event occurs if the player chooses "Likewise" during "Wanna Go Hunting Together".

Hey, Shanaw! I've found a hyper cool gloomy cave not far from camp...We go together?

Cave...? Gloomy...? Of course Kari and Shanaw go!!!

*(Karl and Shanaw snuck out of the camp and reached a dark cave, only lit by moonlight.)*

SO COOL!

You think a bear could have lived here?

Shanaw will seek footprints!

*(The two of them continued to talk and laugh for a while. Then they got warm by a campfire they lit in the cave.)*

* Shanaw & Kari: +10 to opinion of each other.

You never told me about that scar on your body...

... Tshituashk stabbed Shanaw with knife. On wedding night.

Wow... Your kin have really strange traditions...

... Not tradition. Tradition is man go to bed with bride. But Shanaw didn't want to. Tshituashk gets angry. Shanaw gets angry. Stab. Dodge. Kill.

...! I didn't know...

Running away. Far. Hidden like raven in the night.

...

Don't make sad face, baby cat! Shanaw alive, and Kari is friend! Look what Shanaw took from camp...

Beer? But... You're crazy?!

Wanna try?

...

* **You're crazy! Yes!**

Hel yeah! Bring on the booze!

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

*(Shanaw and Kari share a full bottle of beer, taking turns at drinking straight from the bottle.)*

* Kari: - Hunger
* Kari & Shanaw gain the negative trait Drunk for 1 day.

*(After opening her heart to Kari, Shanaw feels lighter. All her tensions have faded away.)*

* Shanaw: - Depression

*(They make silly jokes... they laugh... they roll on the floor... Their vision becomes blurry.)*

* Kari: - Depression

*(As Shanaw clumsily takes the bottle, her hands touch Kari's. She lingers, lost in a haze. They are getting closer and closer, their legs are now curled up together. Touching each other feels good. They feel alone, happy and connected. Naturally, gently, as Shanaw was reaching for the bottle Kari was hiding behind her back, their lips met... They froze, lips against lips, wondering what was going on. Time stood still. Shanaw instinctively pressed a kiss on Kari's lips, softly. Their lips slowly moved apart, and they opened their eyes, looking deeply at each other.)*

* Shanaw: +20 to opinion of Kari

*(It only lasted a split second, and then Shanaw jumped on her feet before Kari had a chance to say anything.)*

FIRST ONE AT CAMP WINS! Kari will never catch Shanaw hehehe!!!

* Shanaw gains the positive trait Excited for 3 days.

### Stolen Pants

This event occurs if the player chooses "You're crazy! Yes!" during "Gloomy Cave".

Who stole my pants?! I said. WHO. STOLE. MY. FUCKING. PANTS?!?

* Kari gains Angry for 3 days.

Hehehehehe. Boohoo, Bear Cub Kari lost her pants? Hehe.

Again?! It's not fun anymore, Shanaw!

* Kari: -5 to opinion of Shanaw

Give them back to me! You're such a child sometimes, urgh! GROW UP!

Kari mad?

Fuck you.

*(Kari ferociously turns her heels back to camp after running after Shanaw... But... Shanaw throws at her back a disgusting ball of dirt... Right into her hair...)*

AHAHAHA! Shanaw is best thrower! Right on target!

URGH! BUT YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON OR WHAT?!

* Kari: -10 to opinion of Shanaw

You PISS ME OFF!

*(Kari sits down in the dirt and starts crying...)*

...

*(Shanaw feels dumb... She slowly approaches the poor Kari.)*

S-... Sorry Kari Friend... Shanaw sorry... Didn't mean harm...

*(A tear falls from Shanaw's eyes.)*

* Shanaw: + Depression.

...

* **Make a scene.**

???

* **That's ok...**

Sorry to have yelled... I'm just... So tired.

Kari not mad at Shanaw? \*sniff\*

No silly... I like you the way you are, you know it.

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Kari

*(Suddenly, Kari tackles Shanaw and pins her to the ground, in the dirt!)*

You fell for my trap, dummy! Now I win!

*(The two of them wrestle on the ground. Kari has the upper hand and firmly grips the hands of Shanaw. Shanaw manages to make them roll, putting Kari beside her. She is pinning her down on the ground, against her chest. Kari manages to insert her leg between Shanaw's legs, and make her roll on the side. Kari 's pants gets ripped during the fight, but she laughs at it, still wrestling her friend.)*

* Kari: - Depression

*(They continue for a while, laughing, covered in mud. They don't hesitate to take a firm grip at each other. But sometimes, the touch is softer, like two dancers holding each oth er’s waist. They got back to the camp covered in mud and exhausted, but even closer than before.)*

* Shanaw: +20 to opinion of Kari
* Kari:+20 to opinion of Shanaw
* Kari & Shanaw: + Fatigue
* Kari & Shanaw gain Stinky for 4 days.

### Fake Fight.

This event occurs if the player chooses "That's ok..." during "Stolen Pants". Unlike most events, this one occurs the afternoon immediately preceding the "Stolen Pants" event the night before.

OH MY GODS!!! THIS TIME I'LL KILL YOU!

*(Kari runs after a giggling Shanaw, yelling insults, in direction of the forest.)*

My, my... These two don't seem to get along after all... I hope they will be okay.

*(Kari lost track of Shanaw near a beautiful river, the surface shining in the sun. Suddenly, Shanaw jumps from behind a large tree and pushes Kari in the water! But Kari knew Shanaw was up to something, and took a grip on her hand... The two of them are now sitting in water, laughing.)*

Ahahahaha... You should have seen the look on my mother's face! It was a good idea to pretend having a fight... Easy way out of this boring camp!

YES! Wolf Pup Kari is genius!

We're quite fine here, don't you think? Water is nice and warm... It's sunny... Quiet... We could almost forget our life is threatened by a bloodthirsty giant man and his grunts.

* Kari: - Depression

Shanaw forgets everything when Kari is with Shanaw!

*(Shanaw's comment drew Kari's attention. She looked at her. Their eyes met. Shanaw's face had never been so beautiful. Or had she never noticed before?)*

* **Kiss her.**

*(Kari felt a warmth in her stomach, which urged her to kiss her friend. Her heart was thumping like crazy, but as soon as their lips met, and Shanaw kissed her back, only warmth was left. Shy at first, their embrace became passionate as Shanaw took control. She caught her breath, looked at Kari with fire in her eyes, and kissed her again. This time, Shanaw held Kari's neck while giving her a wild kiss, massaging her hair. Kari was lost in a turmoil of new feelings rising in her body. They stopped kissing, lovingly looking at each other for a while.)*

* Shanaw & Kari: +30 to opinion of each other.

... Shanaw... We'll have to keep this a secret... Promise?

... Why?

Mom... the others... they wouldn't understand... We have to take it slow... Okay?

Shanaw will do anything for Kari!

*(And they kissed again, laying on the shore of the river, the stream of water gently caressing their almost naked bodies.)*

* Shanaw: - Depression
* Kari & Shanaw gain the positive trait In Love permanently.

* **You're my best friend.**

You're my best friend for life, Shanaw. There, I said it. Happy now?

* Kari: +10 to opinion of Shanaw

Friends... yes...

* Shanaw: + Depression

*(An awkward silence replaced their laughter... They relaxed for a while, and went back to camp. Shanaw was quieter than usual.)*

* Kari & Shanaw: - Fatigue
* Shanaw gains the negative trait Friend Zoned permanently.

## Shanaw & Moira

 ### Medicine Woman.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly

Is Moira... Medicine woman of tribe?

Oh, yes, I'm a living remedy to everyone's ailments and problems, indeed! People come to me, I send them back with my foot in their ass. Works most of the time!

Ha! Moira Iikes jokes. Shanaw Iikes jokes! But what Shanaw mean is... Moira talks to spirits, yes?

Oh, I talk a lot, but they never listen. We wouldn't be stranded in this shit hole if they did, would we? I know a few things about spirits and gods, yes. But I don't do miracles.

What about devils? Moira talks to them too?

* **I only know humans.**

I'm not sure what you mean by "devils", but I guess our neighbours could fit that description. I kind of wish Björn's cutthroats were devils, because that would excuse them. Men are wicked enough to not add devils in the mix, don't you think.

... Men ARE devils!

Well said, girl. But WE are supposed to be temptresses, never forget that. It's what most of these idiots believe anyway, so we'd better use it to our advantage, right?

* **I'm better at listening.**

As I said, most of the time, spirits don't give a crap about what I want, so I try to let them do the talking. And what I hear most often makes no sense, so... Even if I'm told I’m a witch, I know no devil. But you seem to know one, Shanaw. Who is Aich-mud-yim?

Don't say name! Aich-mud-yim is Black Man. Hunter of hunters! Aich-mud-yim followed Shanaw here. Shanaw can feel it. Shanaw didn't use red powder for protection, and Shanaw can't find any on cursed island... So it's only matter of time before Aich-mud-yim catches Shanaw...

Let him come, girl. If he's a man, a good kick in the balls will make him think twice, trust me.

...

 ### Talk to the Dead.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Medicine Woman".

Medicine-woman knows how talk to dead? Yes?

I wish I could. I'd tell all of my ancestors to go fuck themselves. Preferably with a rusty spear.

Insult ancestors? Why would Moira do that?

Because most of them were worthless savages and hopeless idiots, that is why. I'm in this mess because an awful lot of people before me thought having sex was a good idea. Should I honor them for that? Or for the countless ways they killed each other for any reason?

...But if Moira could talk to Ancesters... Moira ask them why Ancesters did bad things, right?

So they'd come with pathetic excuses, if any excuses at all? I wouldn't even bother. Why are you asking me this, girl?

* **Is there some dead you want to talk to?**

Do you have someone particular in mind? Your grandmother? Your pet rabbit, maybe?

Silly, Medicine-woman!

* Shanaw: -10 to opinion of Moira

Do not make fun of dead, or dead will play with us.

As I said, maybe they already are... They sure did, at some point.

The Black Man will come and take us to the bottom of the sea!

Fear not, child. The Red Woman and her rusty spear will wait for him resolutely...

* Shanaw gains the negative trait Scared for 3 days.

* **Do you have any link with spirits?**

Were you called a witch, in your tribe?

No. Shanaw was called "Crazy Moon".

And why is that?

Because... Shanaw... like to dance naked under the full moon. And scream. Like Wolf.

Ha! Sounds like regular witchcraft to me!

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Moira

I tried a couple of times, ages ago.

Really? To call spirits? can you teach Shanaw, Medicine-woman?Oh, it wasn't for spirits, but for a stupid boy who hadn't a clue.

 ### Red Ochre.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Talk to the Dead".

Medicine-woman, you have some red ochre Shanaw could use?

Do I look like a painter? Besides, why would you need this? Red isn't really suitable for hunting.

For protection! Ward off evil spirits. Keep Black Man away!

Is that a figure of speech for feeling depressed? Nobody saw any Black Man since we arrived. And nobody is painted in red. So I don't think you need any... What you need is probably a hug.

...

Don't look at me like that. I am not a provider of hugs.

* **I didn't see any spirit. None.**

You fled from your tribe, kid. That's fine with me, we fled too.
Do you think they've sent an army of spirits or whatever after you?

No need. Spirits are everywhere!

I assure you, I don't see any spirit in the camp, evil or not.

But spirits live in sea and in sky! Spirits are in animals, stones, trees, everything!

Oh! Do you mean they watch me when i have a bath? Naughty spirits!

Stop making fun of Shanaw.

* Shanaw: -10 to opinion of Moira

I'm only trying to help you understand there is nothing to fear, child. Apart from Björn and his merry men.

* **This place is under my protection.**

Fear not, my child. I have my bag of bones, and the runes have spoken. No spirit is allowed to follow you here, not while I'm around. I have crafted a set of protection spells that keeps them away. Any spirit you see won’t be real, only a figment of your imagination. Try not to think about them, and they will stay undisturbed in the dream world. The more you think about them, the more powerful they become, so don't give them any chance.

Uh... Right, Medicine-woman. Shanaw will do as you say. Thank you!

* Shanaw: +10 to opinion of Moira
* Shanaw gains the positive trait Spirit Ward for 3 days.

You're welcome, child. (That was easier than I thought...)
