S2E2 - Intelligent Undead

Episode Notes

Content warning for graphic violence

I can’t decide if it is easier to fight against undead that can speak or not. I can fight against other humans (or vampires, I suppose) no problem. The early warning system set up by Vanatori with undead strapped to trees was gruesome but easy to deal with. They were unintelligent creatures being used for a purpose by a cruel man.

Bog mummies are a part of an ecosystem, sure, as much as any predator animal is. Just one with an opinion on the taste of flesh. Observations: tread carefully as you would around any snake-infested territory, and you can avoid confrontation. (Unfortunately, Ksana is not careful.)

First time encountering a wight, though. Would have liked to have been able to hold a civil discussion with him, instead of needing to resort to magical threats and firearms. Would have liked to have been able to help him.

NB: new gun working great. Glad to see that all my practice over the last year has paid off. No way to let Sorren know, though; unable to get word out of the Delta easily enough for casual letters.
