Annotated 5-21
1. Wide panel. It is afternoon outside of the Bloodshot Monastery. This is the capital site of the Bloodshot Sisters’ operations, and it is a regal monastery, indeed. The stained-glass Bloodshot Eye logo shines brightly in the setting sun. A few blackbirds fly idly by in the sky.
2. Wide panel. We see inside of the monastery, one of the enclosed but open-roofed cloisters, repurposed into a combat training area for the sisters. There, we faintly see Mother Superior Scarlett walking through the grounds, quietly observing (and possibly scrutinizing) the sisters who are hard at work in their training. Two rather brutish sisters follow behind her at her sides, clearly her personal guard.
3. Tall panel. Scarlett descends a dark spiraling staircase. Both of her cronies are holding lanterns to light the way. It is spooky.
4. Through an open door, we see Frigg chained up against a wall. We can just make her out with the small amount of torchlight in the room combined with the lanterns carried by the cronies (we may see Scarlett’s silhouette thrown against the ground as well, if the physics of light permit). Frigg is battered, beaten, lacerated, burnt, and clearly post-torture.
5. Close up of Frigg’s face. She has a black eye over her right eye, and a little dried blood spilled out of her mouth and/or nose. She grins as she looks directly at us.
FRIGG
‘Sup.
Hey it’s that chick from The Fifth Element!
Wait, our right or her right? How do these instructions work?
Mother Scarlett will see you now.
So much awesome imagery on this page.
I once had ran a Feng Shui game (think mishmosh of every Hong Kong Cinema feature you’ve ever seen), and the PCs had to infiltrate a nunnery at one point–the Sisters of Mercy.
The Sisters all were packing, and trained martial artists. They were led by Mother Goose (mistress of animal-style martial arts), Mother Lode (expert with both explosives and shotguns), Mother Nature (used Path of the Storm, one of the major Martial Arts styles in the game), all under the guidance of Mother Superior Firepower (ALL the guns).
That was a fun game.
Sounds like a blast. Out of curosities sake, was Mother Goose an Ascended? Because that would be frosting on the cake.
Nope. They were an independent operation, so not able to be more than bit players in the War–they just happened to control a single Feng Shui site that made them useful allies to whoever was willing to support them.
You’re right, though–that was probably a missed opportunity on my part.
