I've got a story about last night.

-------------------------------------

I am wandering around Brodgar looking to meet some new settlers when I come across a well-armored man finishing up his brickwall at the riverside. I've seen golden-crowned men in the past.... some of them have been just, but some of them have murdered indescriminately. None of them have settled down to live in town until now. I am intrigued, but also very wary of him, so I keep my distance while we exchange pleasantries. I learn his name is Brutal.

During our conversation, another Brodgar player runs up and 'helps' him finish his gate. "Got your key," she announces.
"I know." He stares her down until she meekly drops the key and backs away from the spot.

There is a bit of awkward silence. A friend boats by. Crickets chirp. Then Brutal lunges at the keysnatcher. My mind returns to my memories of my second day in Brodgar when an anonymous golden-crowned man came to gather scents but instead destroyed a house and murdered five of the people who watched him do it. I start freaking out and running in circles with my hands over my head. I message the friend that just boated by and ask him to help me escape. As we sail away, we watch the keysnatcher have her face planted in the ground. Brutal is standing over her with his sword at her throat.

-------------------------------------

When I arrive home, I message him to say "that was scary as FUCK" and ask him to explain what just happened. He said he needed to check her inventory to see whether she had copied his key. Apparently you can do that with a piece of clay? There's no way for me to tell whether Brutal is genuine or if he's just looking for excuses to rough people up. I want to keep talking so I can understand him better, but our conversation is again interrupted...

-------------------------------------

...because I'm hearing reports that a naked woman has snuck into the palisaded home I'm sharing with my friends. The doorman didn't check behind the gate before opening it, so now we have a stranger in our midst. We are discussing how to evict her when Thane has an idea. "Lets go fishing together!" he proclaims as he lifts a boat and walks out the door. Amazingly, she follows him. Maybe we should nickname him the pied piper! There he is, crawling towards the river with his boat, naked woman in tow, and all of us are laughing on voice chat about how hilarious this is. But the laughter is cut short when the woman whips her fists around and WHAM before we even know what's happening Thane is flat on his back. His boat flies out of his hands and skids across the street. The woman snickers and leaves the scene.

I rush to Thane's side wishing I could do something to help, but I am powerless. When he recovers from his daze he ports home. I am just standing there wondering how a naked person could be so strong when suddenly she returns to the scene shouting some kind of gibberish in another language. Before long she is attacking me too. What is her problem? Did we piss somebody off or is this just a crazed lunatic? I try to fight back, but I begin bleeding heavily, so I sprint through the Brodgar streets and yell for help. Vekim grabs his shield and rushes out to save me but by the time he arrives I've successfully boarded a boat. I am bruised, but safe, with half my health remaining. The naked woman switches to her only available target - Vekim.

I yell at him on voice chat "Get in the boat! Get in the boat!" because I don't want to have to dig a grave today.
He refuses to run. "If she had murder, Thane would already be dead." This is his first real fight and he doesn't want to back down.

I'm unable to follow the details of the fistfight because the animations are still foreign and my mind is clouded with worry for my friend's safety. All I know for sure is Vekim's blood is spilled out on the floor when someone new enters the fight. It's Brutal. The first thing he does is attack Vekim who finally listens to reason and hops into the boat with me. From the river we try explain that the naked one is the aggressor. When Brutal understands, he knocks her on the forehead with the hilt of his blade. She is out cold from a single blow.

For a moment, there is the question in my mind about whether Brutal would grab another boat from my dock, chase us down, and kill us both. But then Brutal apologizes to Vekim for attacking him. I finally relax a bit. Now I've got a glimmer of hope that Brutal might actually care about not hurting innocents. We might actually have a chance to survive. I try to express my gratitude, but I cannot find the words.

The naked woman is conscious again. She and Brutal exchange forum names. This results in both of them spamming the chat with laughter. I don't get the joke, but do I know it makes me feel uncomfortable. If these two know eachother from past adventures, what does that mean for us? Will they join forces? If they do, will they protect us together or terrorize us together? I glance at the two fighters reminiscing. Now was certainly not the time to ask. We should just head home and tend to our wounds. All I can really do is hope for the best and learn everything I can. I don't plan on giving up.
