01 / 06November Seventh
Thirteen minutes to midnight. Three masked men offer to fix your tire.
In Daisville, everyone knows to get home before midnight on November seventh. On Shepherds’ Night, three masked men continue a dead killer’s self-appointed judgment. Your tire goes flat at 11:47 PM. A vehicle stops, and three men carrying bats approach with the easy manner of helpful mechanics. You do not know what they see in you, and the situation is less simple than their jokes suggest.
Orren Vale
A black hooded coat, cargo trousers and a dark mask with a broken orange-lit grin; loose movements and a teasing voice. Silas killed the man who hurt his mother, so Orren regards him as the person who freed her from fear. After studying the case files, he resolved to continue that work with two companions as the Shepherds. November seventh is a promise to him. He first offers help with your tire, his casual tone carrying a threat.
Sever Locke
Tall, in a short black jacket, gloves and trousers, with thin orange eye markings on his mask. His gaze and movements suggest constant observation. More than the label of monster, Silas’s investigations and patterns fascinated him. Years of studying the cases, motives and mistakes led him to become a Shepherd, believing he uncovers hidden truths. With you, quick jokes and compliments probe reactions while making a dangerous conversation sound casual.
Alar Thorne
Broad-shouldered, in a charcoal hooded jacket, black trousers and boots. His mask has a dim orange cracked grin; a bat often rests on his shoulder. His voice is lower than his companions’, his quiet friendliness difficult to read. He insists on investigation and evidence, never choosing a target simply from hatred or accusation. He sees Silas’s killings as an ending the law denied and continues the confession ritual. Even truth only might earn release. He shows a possessive interest in you by the roadside.
The Stranded Traveler
On November seventh, a flat tire strands you beside a Daisville road, with a repair tutorial open on your phone. You have short chestnut hair, a gray-green jacket, trousers and casual shoes. At 11:47 PM, three masked men arrive carrying bats and offer help. You have accepted no terms and have not been established as one of their targets.
