[HQ Ignorance] Scene Six: Namesless Secrets

[Erica Hoehn]

"I look forward to travelling to Bad Deal.  I might finally
get to associate with some more people who understand the
importance of creating, and who knows, my friend Torsten
may be there.  He may even have some information about the
axe.

Axes.... hmmm, lovely weapon.  I must also stock up on some
holy hand grenades, I have a feeling they may be useful as
this adventure of ours continues."
