Returning from Clon MacNoise
Played 17th February 2021
The troupe returns from Clon Macnoise on 1 November, the first day of the Irish year.
In a village, midway between Killaloe and An Scairbh, they meet Eogan. He has spent the night with the grooms in the hayloft, and is now spending the morning hours with his sweetheart before he has to return to Elk’s Run. He finally pulls his act together and proposes to the girl. She is reluctant to believe him, but once she does, she is thrilled.
In An Scairbh, the villagers are gathered in the village square, talking. There is a foul stench over the village, maybe rotting carcasses, and many of the cottages are still in disrepair. As the group arrives, some of the recognise Liam, who turns to Boris, the nearest unGifted person in the group. «Long time, no see.»
The villagers are proud, and they want Liam’s Cult to save them after the harsh time following the Mist of Change. Liam wants Una, and the others to join the forming Cult. The more people they are, the more powerful will the Cult be.
Una, particularly, is hostile, and the villagers, feeling threatened, pick up pitchforks and axes to defend themselves. Not prepared to fight the group leaves without comitting either way.
