Burias was shocked by the horrid condition of her eyes, wondering what she must have gone through, which was immediatly replaced with quiet a bit of sadness for her. "You know me?" He asks her quietly and confused as he carefully grabbed a seat to sit close to her.

[Thugren]

The woman smiles...

" you don't remember me... That's fine.."

She reaches for a jar and Cain grabs you arm. Without a sound he points to the other side of the room where a tall figure clad in burlap watches you with two purple eyes

[Armoured Priest]

'Fuck...' said a voice in Burias's head, with him sharing that feeling seeing one of the puppets here. But it seemed weird to him since it was staying still and silent for the entire time, its eyes staring at them. He nodded quietly to Cain, but not completely sure what to do about it. He looks back to the lady. "I would like to remember....alot of stuff got shoved away awhile ago, so...ja." He tells her as he tries to keep one eye on the puppet while he also watches her.

[Thugren]

The woman laughs and begins to stitch a pair of eyes Ito the burlap.

" I am your grandmother young dragon.... Lollyana Dempsey ."

She smiles wide as the small burlap peice in her hand fidgets, the we instantly beginning to roll a Frey were alive."

[Armoured Priest]

Buiras's heart stopped for a moment and everything went quiet in his mind. "Großmutter?" he says almost unbelieving in what she said. "What happened? How are you here? I thought you passed away? What is with the puppets and dolls? And..." Burias started at first, asking everything that was dumped in his mind he really wanted answered. He stopped himself shortly and took a deep breath. "....Sorry. Großmutter." he apologized before he went quiet to let her speak now.

[Thugren]

she smiles and hands you a jar, inside are caramels.

"I was your doctor when you where small....I was told to do a very hard procedure on your brain that i refused to do...That is why your father decided i didnt need my eyes.."

She smiles and sets the jar down.

"the saints found me and gave me these."

shje shows you the knitting needles in her hands, showing you that they are in fact flesh forgers, a technology youve seen once before in your visions of the surgeries.

"The puppets are my children....We help the sick and scared populace of the nearby city...They are all such good boys.."

[Armoured Priest]

Burias gently sets aside the jar for now, whatever appetite he might of have now gone after listening to her story. "Großmutter, have you even stepped outside this cavern recently? At all? Or even heard from one of the townspeople? " He askes her, knowing now she really didn't know what the puppets where doing and why she kept making them. The fact she thought she was helping them gnawed on his insides.

[Thugren]

she shakes her head.

"No.....I stay in with mr stabby...hes my protector..He keeps the other puppets from getting uppity...Hes my favorite boy."

she smiles as you hear the door open and one of the doglike puppets looks at you hissing in menace.

"Now now roger...ne good.."

she admionishjes as the large puppet makes a sound akin to a growl."

"the last time i heard from the town the mayor was thanking me for my help.....Hes such a nice man.."

[Armoured Priest]

Burias couldn't but help the drifting of his gaze from behind the lenses of his gasmask to the large puppet against the wall opposite of them, making a guess that it was Mr. Stabby. "How did you make Mr. Stabby exactly?" he asks now. He was trying to figure out want went all wrong with her idea and the puppets, and he was starting to make an idea of what it was. Unfortuantely, 'it' was in the room with them.

[Thugren]

The puppet moves slowly and it grips the other puppet , ripping it in half in a terrifying show of violence. Blood and burlap fly in the air as it tosses it into a ile , twitching and spasming as your grandmother smiles.

"your grandfather gave mde a puppet when we where younger...A drachen blut soldgier...I used that as the base and built around it..He makes sure i am fed...Helps me bathe and dress...Hes mommas favorite boy.."

[Armoured Priest]

'The dog one, must have become feral.' one voice said to the others. 'Maybe it is still loyal?' another spoke up. Burias looks away from the two ripped halves of the destroyed puppet and back to Lollyana. "Is it ok if I talk with Mr. Stabby?" He asks her, wondering if the puppet could understand him. And maybe even hopefully speak as well.

[Thugren]

She smiles

" of course child... Be polit though stabby has a temper.."

[Armoured Priest]

"Ja Großmutter." he says to her as he quietly rose up from his seat and walks over slowly to the other puppet. He stops when there was still a good respectful distance between them. "Hallo Mr.Stabby." He greets the puppet with a slight bow of his head to it. "Would you care to speak with me?" he asks respectfully, wondering now what sort of reaction it might give. If any at all.

[Thugren]

It looks at you for a long moment motioning at the door.

" yes... We can speak.... Mother I going to get you food... Cain will stay here.."

Cain nods and sits beside the woman

[Armoured Priest]

He gives a short wave to cain before he turns about and heads out the door and waits just outside of it for the puppet to come out and close the door behind it. "So...what happened?" He asks the puppet as he motioned the rest of the cavern, referring to the rest of the puppets but still being vague incase his grandmother could still hear them.

[Thugren]

Mothers sons are sick .."

He growls in a phlegmatic voice.

" the others misbehaved...... Try followed shriek in killing the humans.."

[Armoured Priest]

"Why are they sick? And who is Shriek?" he askes next as he follows the large form of Mr. Stabby. He wondered what caused the puppets to get 'sick' and how it might happened. But he knew one thing, that he didn't like this shriek so far if it's the one leading the puppets to the massacre in town.

[Thugren]

he shrugs.

"has to be sick...Momma made us to be good boys......Hes big puppet...likes me...Fat now....SO big.."

he pantomim es a fat figure with his arms.

"killed so many./..."

[Armoured Priest]

"That is not good, at all." Burias said as he walked. He doubted stabby would know how Shriek really became what he was now so he pushed on to another subject. "Mr.Stabby, I want to take my grandmother back with us to a place called norfolk on the east coast. Would you be ok with taking you and grandmother back with us over there? It is much safer than being here around all of the sick puppets I would think." he reasoned with the puppet. He wanted take care of his own grandmother and the puppet seems to be very loyal and protective to him.

[Thugren]

Steady food and water for mama?"

He asks simply, his massive sickle like claws clicking.

" safe place to sleep? Doctor or eyes?"

A long toungue slides from its stitched mouth and snags a nettle walking over its burlap.

" we go.... Shriek will not like... Shriek will kill... We kill shriek first?"
