From the camp’s outer darkness, Mike-Ox warriors drag a wounded young adult woman, lean-built with weathered olive skin and a narrow, sharp-featured face, through the ash. Her red-and-black Harrip colors are torn, and a sealed message hangs in her clenched hand.
They stop at the ring’s edge when they see Kill’s transformed arm, rigid and enormous beneath the firelight. The woman sags between them, her dark braid streaked with ash, one eye swollen but alert.
Sera
“Do not kill me. Oosey sent me with a bargain, and this sealed message names a hidden approach to the Wankfast vault.”
Mike-Ox warriors
“Harrip blood has no place in this camp. The old hatred demands her death.”
The warriors haul the messenger upright and level their spears. Behind them, Fugg’s body lies beyond the broken ring, while the other paths remain sealed by the clan’s silent witnesses.
Sera
“Read it before you spill my blood. Oosey offers knowledge your fallen leader never possessed.”
The sealed parchment trembles above the ash. Every watching face turns toward Kill, waiting to see whether the last Wankfast accepts the message or lets old clan hatred decide its fate.

“Kill Wankfast retrieves his belt, clasping it once again around his waits. Almost immediately the pain begins to lessen, leaving him feeling good enough to speak. "Harrip Oosey has sent you, woman?" He asks, walking forward to meet her, glaring at the Mike-Ox warriors as he passes. He just killed their leader in a single blow- they must be terrified of him. He nears the woman, examining her collar. "Your name- Cah-K, May I call you Harrip Cak K.?" He asks, though does not expect an answer. "Tell me, Cah-K, what do you have to offer?" Only then does Kill take the letter, opening it to read.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled +2)
Kill retrieves the broken belt and clasps it around his waist. The rigid pain in his enormous right arm eases, while the Wankfast Crest steadies his resolve against the hatred surrounding him.
Kill Wankfast
Harrip Oosey has sent you, woman?
He walks toward the messenger, glaring across the ring. The Mike-Ox warriors stiffen and lower their spearpoints, fear cutting through their old clan hatred after witnessing Fugg fall.
Kill Wankfast
Your name, Cah-K? May I call you Harrip Cak K? Tell me, Cah-K, what do you have to offer?
Sera
Sera. My name is Sera. I offer you a way into the vault, last Wankfast, and a warning about what waits beyond its sealed gate.
Kill takes the parchment from her clenched hand and breaks its seal. The warriors hold their ground, watching him with wary silence as the parchment opens beneath the firelight.
The letter names a ravine east of the camp and a concealed stair beneath a black thorn tree. Oosey claims it bypasses the vault’s outer defenses, but says a demon mark seals the inner gate.

“Kill nods at the letter, smiling to Sera. "Thank you Sera Harrip. May I propose an alliance? If you assist me, I will assist you in return." Kill Wankfast looks all around him to the remaining Mike-Ox warriors. "Listen men!" He begins to rally, "I have defeated your crooked leader and freed you from his reign! Follow me, and together... together we will be able to Wankfast!!!" Kill cries out, lifting his cursed arm. "All of us together are strong! We will unite the world's strongest clans! The Harrips, the Mike-Ox's, and the Wankfasts will work together! For peace! For life! For FREEDOM!!!"”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled +4)
Kill nods at the letter, smiling toward Sera despite the pain locked through his cursed arm. He turns to the ring and raises the Wankfast Crest.
Kill Wankfast
Thank you, Sera Harrip. May I propose an alliance? If you assist me, I will assist you in return.
The Mike-Ox warriors stare at him. Their racial prejudice hardens their faces, and the ancient hatred of the Wankfast name makes their spears twitch, but the Crest catches the firelight like a living oath.
Kill Wankfast
Listen, men! I have defeated your crooked leader and freed you from his reign! Follow me, and together we will be able to Wankfast!
Kill lifts the enormous arm despite its rigid pain. The sight that once summoned hatred now becomes proof of strength, while the Crest steadies his voice and turns the warriors' fear toward possibility.
Kill Wankfast
All of us together are strong! We will unite the world's strongest clans! The Harrips, the Mike-Ox's, and the Wankfasts will work together! For peace! For life! For freedom!
Mike-Ox warriors
We follow the last Wankfast. The Mike-Ox stand with Harrip and Wankfast. Our scouts know the eastern ravine, and we will lead you there before dawn.
Sera
Then the bargain is sealed, Kill Wankfast. Oosey will hear that her message found an ally, and the hidden approach will not be walked alone.
The warriors lower their spears and gather around Kill rather than against him. For the first time, the path to the Wankfast vault has an armed escort and a living alliance behind it.
