Café de Nuit

Jamethon curses and gibbers, swatting at his head and neck.

"'Alain, we must burn the corn! Please, you have to help me. Salt. If only we had salt enough for it... SHUT UP, YOU DEVILS!'' Moorkroft is pacing and ranting now. He begins stuffing straw and bits of ragged cloth into his ears. ''Mother of Shielding, make them be silent!'' He begins to hack at...

"Shana, would be you so kind as to help me gather some things to make the scarecrow? I think I see some rags over there that would do nicely."

Jamethon says to Armitage,
"A shame to see filthy scavengers ruin a good crop like that."

He steps back from the strange farmer, turns his head toward Shana, and blinks very rapidly.

As soon as Tavian is inside, Moorkroft runs about the barn, slamming shut all the doors and windows. ''Someone bar those , if you're able!''

He reverses his musket, to use as a club. He stands behind his companions, prepared to sell his life dearly. ''Lady, ...

Seeing that Wedge is aiming at Tavian, and fearing for his companion's safety, Moorkroft takes aim and fires his musket at Wedge.

Unable to get a clear target, Moorkroft holds his fire. He shouts to Shana, '' Best we go now!'' . He will then join the others in flight, but only if Shana is keeping up with him.
