The Relentless Five
General Summary
Grolm 9, 578
about 1:15 p.m.
Now that some of the protagonists have had a direct conversation with one of the high-ranking people involved in The Troubles, we have to wonder if the plant-altering Big Bad might actually be the current motive force behind both sides of the escalation.
- Whose idea was it, really, to turn farm hands and ranch hands into laboring captives?
- Whose decision was it, really, to respect the town's "neutrality" yet try to capture the Bicchieri Caravan and then the Mail Coach?
- If the plant-altering side came here to support the farmers, what happened two nights ago at Tarntaise Farm? For that matter, why is Braunvieh Farm empty of its resident people?
- Who and when, exactly, broke the "neutrality" of the town?
- For that matter: Who exactly judged the "neutrality" to be broken?
Most importantly:
- How can all of this be stopped?
It's high noon! The angry senior ranch hand known as Chica Alston wants to meet the SNAFU Posse's sleeping sorcerer, get resources in gear, and go sneak into Alfredo House in pursuit of her spouse's safety. She does not know that the Posse is running low on internal resources just now. She probably will not much care, either.
Scaevola Aemula, who has been leaning on the stable door at Oat Livery long enough to have heard at least one strategic fact, announces that she too knows how to get into Alfredo House the stealthy way....
and the ash cloud continues to spread . . . .
