108

A few more blows from your blade and the darkspawn are dispatched. You can’t deny that the scene you leave behind is on the grim side—in fact, you have to step over a number of unpleasantly severed heads and limbs to leave it behind at all—but you’d rather it be their limbs than yours. Fortunately, between the four of you, there are still eight attached arms and eight attached legs, so you’ll count this one as a win.

After making sure no more blight-ridden surprises are coming your way, you set about looking for the person you’re supposed to meet—but, even after searching every tunnel within half a mile of Glandivalis Square, you find nothing.

The longer you search, the more your mind keeps returning to the darkspawn you think might have spoken. Too bad you didn’t have the chance to hear it out, but what’s done is done. And with all of the darkspawn dead and no other leads to be found… it looks like the trail to Neve has gone cold.

• THE END.
