Today is sort of a bunch of previous scenes coming together and crossing over: Kat and the Lyte Brigade are some of the most prominent characters in Realmgard, Prima and Vera are a pair of streetwise orphan I’ve wrote some previous short scenes about – for reasons even I don’t entirely understand, Vera really likes splashing bad guys with glasses of water.
And we’ve met Skadi and Boss Virrad’s mercenaries in a previous Friday Short Scene.
I’m actually kinda liking the idea that she apparently has a supernatural ability to will glasses of water into existence…

“Chess me,” Dunstana declares, looking up from the board.
“Chess… you?” her opponent asks from underneath the shadows of his hood.
“Why did we let Dunstana play chess with the evil wizard who wants to eat our souls?” Kat mutters.
“She’s faster than she looks,” Tenebella answers. “She was the first to the table.”
Kat groans. If she had a mark for every time an evil wizard challenged her and her friends to some crazy competition with their souls on the line, she’d have two marks.
Normally, Kat isn’t one to turn down free money, but, frankly, that’s two marks too many…
“Tenebella,” Kat says. “The next time you and an evil wizard have your eye on the same book of… weird stuff —”
“Eldritch lore,” Tenebella says indignantly.
“— you’re on your own.”
