| He rolls his eyes, and shakes his head. "Well, I'll think of something... In the meantime, do you have any whiskey? My ribs are figuratively killing me." | |

| He takes a mouthful, and sighs. "Not the best... But yes, our... arrangement." He gestures between the two of them with his free hand. "You help me kill as many of these, purebloods of yours, as i can manage, we set it up such that, it doesn't come back to you... You get your petty revenge, and i get to kill heretics." | |

| "You aren't my prisoner lad. Albeit, any other fucker in this vast network of trenches'd shoot you on sight, so might not be an idea to go paradin about. And as fer it fallin, its fallin no matter what ye do lad. Did the god machine not get that into your heads behind those parapets? Cause there's more where that came from." | |

Gorath

| he shrugs "Mainly cause I wanna help at least one of you poor bastards. Not exactly in a position to do more than that eh? Besides. Fer now I say get some rest. You look like you're barely standing. We can talk more when you're recharged eh?" | |

Captain Raeven

| the other man sighs and lights up a cigar. Taking a puff, he stands up and walks out of the dugout, and climbs the parapet. He knows what's about to happen. The fireworks are about to start...
All along the line, the defenders suddenly note the flashes of artillery firing in the distance, in very large numbers, stretching along the entirety of the enemy's lines. Moments later, the shells land amongst them. And keep landing. | |

| The men of the PDF are more than used to artillery by this point, with dugouts deep and expansive enough to shelter the mainstay of the defence, while the brave men in the above ground bunkers keep a vigilant watch.
Laurence sits, comfortably on his heels, upon a low rising hill behind the line, watching the shells fall. | |
