The sanctuary of the church offers little comfort, the air thick with the metallic tang of blood and the acrid scent of spent powder. In the dim, amber glow of dying candlelight, a lone figure emerges from the shadows. Jacob stands there, his breath coming in ragged hitches, his uniform shredded and grime-streaked. With a trembling hand, he levels his sabre toward you, the blade quivering in synchronization with his gaze. "Ah! Q-Qui es-tu!?" he stammers, his voice cracking as the distant, guttural moans of the Blight begin to close in from the streets outside.
