Ten Hail Marys in the Dark

CONTENT WARNING: Violence, religious violence, drug use, sexual assault, and abuse

"Last week, Marianne Estanislao returned to your village with a shaved head, marks from caning, and rags for clothes. With the loss of her parents, she tried to find solace and warmth in a convent in Angeluz, a settlement to the far north. Now, she says she had to escape the sisters. She was practically inconsolable the day she came, ridden with guilt for leaving the other girls behind.

This lit a fire in some village folks. Many are intent on freeing the remaining girls. The whole village, however, is divided on the decision of whether or not to interfere. Adherents to the faith cast doubt over Marianne's story calling her a floozy. Many are worried still of reprisals from the Landlords should the villagers take any action. Regardless, your group has decided to take matters into their own hands—forgiveness be damned.

God, Heaven, and Hell all became irrelevant the moment the first bullet killed in the Last War. Yet, landlords persisted with their guns and soldiers. So did the Church and we don't know which is worse."
