Brask halts on the creek stones. Behind him, the silver webs tremble as Wind magic passes through them, and his folded pincers open toward the satchel on Ghidorah’s shoulder.
Brask
Set the satchel down, three-headed one. The notice and its contents must be examined together.
The creek runs shallow around dark stones. Brask’s many legs remain planted between Ghidorah and the open path, while the webs behind him quiver with faint, unseen motion.
Brask
The fugitive may have planted evidence to lure pursuers. A convincing notice beside a dropped satchel could draw you toward an ambush, or away from the true trail.
The direct route remains open beyond the creek, but Brask refuses to yield it. His guard over the trail conflicts with Ghidorah’s haste, leaving their uneasy partnership balanced on caution.
Brask
I want the culprit captured no less than you do. I will not let speed turn my warning into a second mistake.
Far behind, Edric Vale and the remaining townspeople stay in the ruined square as witnesses, while Brask waits beside the creek and leaves the next choice to Ghidorah.
