Asking Enemies What They Value
Added Fri Nov 11 20:53:27 2022 at level 51:

Gabooca hasn't yet slain many foes, but when she has, she has been following what
Wood-and-Bones asked of her. To find out what they would take to the next life,
after they have been purified clean. One of her foes, although she struggles
with besting him in combat, does not believe he will die forever. Instead he
will rise up and become a God. Gabooca did not consider that an option, but in
the conversations, she has deduced he will take nothing from this life to the
next. This seems to be a common theme with the darkness. Another she slew, while
standing over his body, said the same, 'Nothing.' How little the darkness values
life that they don't want to keep any part of it, just aimless floating souls
wandering, self serving, creating destruction for their own benefits. What an
odd way to live. It leaves no room for loving, cherishing, and enjoying every
minute of their life.

Gabooca also feels bad. Taking a life is, well, taking a life. And she would very
much rather go on an adventure! Or even just sit at the inn, have a drink, tell
jokes with a friend, lay in bed, anything other than death, and just enjoy life.
But she has a duty, she chose the hard life to be one of the squires, and
eventually a maran. She knows she chose the hard path, she struggles with it time
to time, sometimes focusing on studies, but soon she will be all studied up, and
have no excuse to not join the fray.
