Chapter 3 - Chapter 3. The Mimic

"Karoschi" Noah, Noah, NOAH!

"Noah" Mmm… What is it?

"Karoschi" Be very quiet. Don't make any sudden movements.

"Noah (whispering)" Why?

"Karoschi" Something is here. If you don't move or make any noise, it won't notice us.

"Noah (whispering)" What is it?

"Karoschi (whispering)" A Night Crawler

"Johann" Ugh, could you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep!

"Karoschi glares angrily at Johann."

"The Night Crawler emerges from the ground."

"Karoschi shouts" EVERYONE, TAKE COVER!!!

"Karoschi draws his sword, and the others grab stones."

"The Night Crawler crawls toward Heinrich."

"Anna, Johann, and Noah throw stones at it."

"And Karoschi thrusts his sword into the Night Crawler's side."

"Heinrich jumps aside to dodge."

"Karoschi" AIM FOR THE LEGS!!!

"Noah" Got it.

"The group smashes the Night Crawler's legs, slowing it down."

"Karoschi aims for the Night Crawler's neck and cuts off its head."

"The Night Crawler falls to the ground, blood pouring from its neck."

"The sun slowly rises again."

Johann says, "Alright, let's go look for food again. I'm starving."

The group returns to the area near the stream and searches for something to eat.

"In the distance, the group is being watched."

"Karagnist" Sir, should we attack them?

"Mimic" No. Our spy should continue observing them for now. He'll deal with them when the time comes. You keep searching for the key.

"Karagnist" Yes, sir.

"Mimic (telepathically whispering to his spy)" Don't disappoint us.

"???" Yes, General.
