LASHER
start
You see Lasher of the
Children.
lasher04
You are unwise to draw
your weapon on me. The
Master’s shield is upon
me, and I may not be
touched
without retribution!
start->lasher04
lasher05
Why have you come,
initiate? You know that I
do not like to be
disturbed.
start->lasher05
lasher06
How dare you enter my
sanctuary with a weapon
in your hand! Oaf! Get
out!
---
Who do you think you are,
entering my sanctum with
a drawn weapon. Get out!
start->lasher06
lasher00
I know who you are. You
are a wicked, evil man
and you must be punished.
---
I know who you are. You
are the devil in woman’s
form, but your shape will
not save you.
start->lasher00
lasher01
I know who you are. Your
wickedness precedes you.
You send the souls of
children to Hades, before
they can be cleansed of
their perfidy. It is a
black evil that you do,
and you must be punished
for it.
start->lasher01
lasher02
I know who you are. You
are walking death, a
plague in human form.
Where you step, blood
flows
like a river. But such
iniquities can be ended
by a righteous soul!
start->lasher02
lasher03
How dare you disturb me!
Don’t you know how
important my position is?
Get out!
start->lasher03
lasher07
My quarters are not open
to those who have not
been consecrated. I must
ask you to leave at once.
start->lasher07
lasher04->lasher02
You wanna see unwise?
It’s unwise to give me
lip, bitch!
lasher08
That is a privilege
reserved for only the
most faithful servants.
Only baptism is a higher
honor.
lasher04->lasher08
I wouldn’t mind the
Master’s shield myself.
lasher09
I see no reason to
converse with a fool.
Away with you.
lasher04->lasher09
Nobody’s ever accused me
of being wise!
lasher10
You should speak to
Father Morpheus. He is in
the tower, but it is
unlikely that the
Nightkin will
allow you to pass.
lasher04->lasher10
I just want to speak with
the man in charge.
lasher11
The rod is a holy
instrument, through which
I instruct my charges.
Pain clears the mind of
evil
thoughts and allows them
to better comprehend the
glory of the Master.
lasher04->lasher11
Nice rod you’ve got
there! Is that why they
call you "Lasher?"
lasher12
I instruct the children.
It is my duty. All
children are wicked
beasts. It is my duty to
force them
into evolve into human
beings. Perhaps you have
heard that I do not
tolerate frivolity. This
is true. I
want my charges to
suffer as much as
possible.
lasher04->lasher12
Is it true that you enjoy
abusing children?
lasher13
You filthy brainless
abomination! How dare you
defile my presence! Get
out! Out! Now!
lasher04->lasher13
Why you talk so funny?
lasher05->lasher02
How would you like to
never be disturbed again.
I can arrange that!
lasher05->lasher10
I just want to speak with
the man in charge.
lasher05->lasher11
Nice rod you've got
there! Is that why they
call you Lasher?
lasher05->lasher12
I’m here to talk about
your treatment of the
Children.
lasher05->lasher13
I dunno. Why I come? You
know?
lasher14
If your heart was not so
full of wickedness, sir,
you would be at ease. A
righteous heart knows no
cares. Tell me your
problem, but be quick!
---
You are a woman, and
therefore you are always
troubled. It is an
endemic condition of your
breed.
Tell me your problem,
madam, and I will resolve
it for you.
lasher05->lasher14
Forgive me, Father, but I
am troubled.
lasher15
Learn to embrace pain as
your closest friend, for
pain is
the most instructive
force in the universe.
Break yourself until you
can
exist no longer as an
individual, then remake
yourself into the
Master’s tool.
That is the solution to
all of your problems.
lasher05->lasher15
I seek the guidance of
the Cathedral.
lasher16
Beasts chatter without
meaning. Human beings
think first, and then
they talk. You must
evolve into
a human being before I
will wish to speak you.
Be gone.
lasher05->lasher16
I just wanted to talk.
lasher06->lasher02
You don't like drawn
weapons. You’re gonna
hate what I do with it
next!
lasher06->lasher10
I just want to speak with
the man in charge.
lasher06->lasher11
Nice rod you’ve got
there! Is that why they
call you Lasher?
lasher06->lasher12
I’m here to talk about
your treatment of the
Children.
lasher06->lasher13
Out? Which way out?
lasher06->lasher15
I seek the guidance of
the Cathedral.
lasher06->lasher16
I just wanted to talk.
lasher06a
lasher06->lasher06a
Forgive me, sir. But the
forces of darkness are
everywhere, and one never
knows when you must
defend yourself.

lasher07->lasher02
This place don’t look
consecrated. I ain’t
killed anyone here yet.
lasher07->lasher10
I just want to speak with
the man in charge.
lasher07->lasher11
Nice rod you’ve got
there! Is that why they
call you Lasher?
lasher07->lasher12
I’m here to talk about
your treatment of the
Children.
lasher07->lasher13
You stupid! I got plenty
of conse…cra…tion…
lasher07a
lasher07->lasher07a
Forgive my intrusion, but
I have important
questions.
lasher19
That is not my duty. Now
begone.
lasher07->lasher19
I wanted to ask you about
consecration.
lasher08->lasher12
I suppose you are
teaching the children and
preparing them for
baptism.
lasher08->lasher13
Too bad privileges ain’t
worth a rad scorpion’s
ass when you’re dead.
lasher08->lasher19
Can you help me to be
baptized?
lasher08a
lasher08->lasher08a
And how does one earn
baptism?
lasher22
A flatterer’s tongue is
in the mouth of a devil!
A devil such as you! Get
out of my sight!
lasher08->lasher22
Wow! You must be special!
lasher10a
lasher10->lasher10a
Could you persuade the
Nightkin to let me pass?
lasher26
He is our leader. He is
close to the Master’s
counsels and knows many
of his purposes. Is that
all?
lasher10->lasher26
What can you tell me
about Morpheus?
lasher27
They serve the Master.
They bring the pain of
healing to the world.
Angels in the Night, who
redeem
the world by bloodshed.
Curiosity is a foolhardy
emotion, but doubly so
when it comes to the
Nightkin. That
is your only warning. I
have much to do now. Away
with you.
lasher10->lasher27
What can you tell me
about the Nightkin.
lasher28
Your courtesy does you
credit. Perhaps you are
worthy to talk with
Morpheus. If the Nightkin
stops
you, show them this
symbol. Now, away with
you!
lasher10->lasher28
Thank you, sir.
lasher29
You are a fool if you
think petty subterfuge
will defeat the Nightkin.
Get out of here!
lasher10->lasher29
I have ways of getting
around these sorts of
problems.
lasher11->lasher02
Sounds kinky. How about
trying some on me?
lasher11->lasher09
I see. So the Master’s a
pain?
lasher30
Decadence and ease
prevents evolution,
evolution that is
necessary for survival in
a harsh world.
Fortunately, I am a hard
man who cares nothing for
seductive pleasures. I
see that you disagree
with me.
I do not care about your
opinion. Get out of here!
lasher11->lasher30
That’s a horrible thing
to do to children!
lasher12->lasher02
You never got laid, did
you?
lasher12->lasher30
You heartless bastard!
lasher31
Mutation is nothing to
fear. Every birth is a
mutation of our parents’
DNA. We are all mutants.
The
only thing that matters
is that the mutant is
guided on a moral and
productive path. This is
my job. And
this also ends this
discussion. Leave me now.
lasher12->lasher31
And are mutants more
evolved than human
beings?
lasher32
I deal out pain. If the
animal is worthy and can
learn from it, it evolves
into a righteous soul. If
it does not, it does not
deserve to exist. On rare
occasions, the animal is
removed the genetic pool,
although not as often as
I would like. This
happens more often with
failed grown animals.
lasher12->lasher32
Tell me more about your
teaching methods.
lasher33
You are an evil girl. You
would do well to tread
carefully here. The
Nightkin do not enjoy
rivals.
Now begone!

lasher12->lasher33
But what about the
pleasure of killing?
Ain’t that allowed?
lasher14->lasher02
I want to know about the
Master.
lasher14->lasher30
I want to know more about
the Cathedral.
lasher14->lasher31
Tell me how to attain
righteousness!
lasher14->lasher33
You’re alive. That’s my
problem, you son of a
bitch!
lasher15->lasher09
It is? That sucks, pal!
lasher18
There comes a time when
you must find the answers
to life’s questions
yourself, and that time
is
now. Begone!
lasher15->lasher18
So where can I find the
most pain?
lasher35
Your tongue is a wicked
thing that is beyond
redemption. Get out of my
sight!
lasher15->lasher35
Yeah, I want to get
enough brain damage that
I’ll join a zombie cult!
Dream on, pal!
lasher36
The Cathedral teaches
many things which an
undisciplined mind is
incapable of
comprehending.
Now I have other duties
to perform. Away with
you!
lasher15->lasher36
I would never have
thought of that!
lasher37
As do I. It appears we
have many things in
common, but
unfortunately, you
irritate me beyond my
ability to tolerate. Get
out of here. Now.
lasher15->lasher37
I already embrace pain. I
just like to share it
with my friends.
lasher17
Your words are true. Very
well, I will help you.
But be quick.
lasher06a->lasher17
lasher06a->lasher18
lasher17->lasher12
I was wondering about the
Children.
lasher17->lasher35
The only thing I know
that’s quick is Death.
lasher17a
lasher17->lasher17a
I must see Father
Morpheus on an urgent
matter.
lasher40_1
The Cathedral is a
sanctuary for the human
race. When the apocalypse
fell on this foul city,
the
Cathedral was spared,
which allowed for the
birth of the Master. Thus
a healing darkness
emerged from
a terrible light.
---
When I came, I saw this
place lacked a moral
center, and so I have
endeavored to administer
teaching
pain to a place once
consumed with idle
pleasure. That is all you
need to know.
lasher17->lasher40_1
Tell me about the
Cathedral.
lasher41_1
It is said the Master
waits below, in the
Darkness, for the Light
above betrayed Mankind
and nearly
destroyed us. But many
bless the Light, for they
say it birthed the
Master.
---
I do not know these
things with certainty,
and I have never had the
privilege to see him. Now
if
you will excuse me, I
have work to do.
lasher17->lasher41_1
I was wondering where I
could find the Master.
lasher07a->lasher17
lasher07a->lasher18
lasher08a->lasher18
lasher20_1
By the endurance of pain,
by the acquisition of
wisdom, and the
performance of service.
Pain is
knowledge, Wisdom is
obedience, and Service is
courage.

lasher24
A reasonable request.
Take this symbol. Show it
to the Nightkin when you
wish to pass.
lasher10a->lasher24
lasher25
I cannot help you with
that. Begone.
lasher10a->lasher25
lasher26->lasher27
What can you tell me
about the Nightkin?
lasher26->lasher28
Thank you, sir.
lasher26->lasher25
Tell me more about
Morpheus?
lasher23
You foul mouthed beast!
Begone! Learn some
manners before you
return.
lasher26->lasher23
So why do you follow this
Morpheus bozo?
lasher26a
lasher26->lasher26a
Could you persuade the
Nightkin to let me pass?
lasher32->lasher28
Grown animals?
lasher32->lasher35
Hey, I can remove them
for you! No one else
needs to know!
lasher21
I have not consulted him,
but I am certain he is
pleased with the
righteous souls I have
brought
him. It is difficult
work, but I do it well.
Unfortunately, it is also
quite time consuming,
which is why
I must order to you to
leave right now.
lasher32->lasher21
And the Master approves
of the teaching methods?
lasher42
You were not particularly
welcome here in the first
place. Good riddance to
you.
lasher32->lasher42
You’re a monster!
lasher43
Once I did, but many of
methods were abandoned in
favor of the loud noises
you hear in the
Auditorium amphitheater.
It is a source of
bitterness for me.
Fortunately, I can still
instruct the
children. Now if you
will excuse me, I have to
prepare for their
lessons.
lasher32->lasher43
I think I’ll leave you
now.
lasher44
Uh… it is of course, a
rare event, and the
animal is given every
chance to evolve. Now
leave here!
Leave here at once!
lasher32->lasher44
Do you teach adults?
lasher14a
lasher14a->lasher18
lasher34
Righteousness is attained
through struggle, trauma,
and recovery. We are
animals who must be
continuously be broken
until we accept the
Master’s truth without
hesitation. Now that you
have heard
the truth, seek it with
the body of your
experiences. Get out of
here.
lasher14a->lasher34
lasher38
This may be of some use
to you. Take this symbol.
Show it to the Nightkin
when you wish to pass. It
will allow you to see
Father Morpheus.
lasher17a->lasher38
lasher39
It is not my place to
judge. You must persuade
the Nightkin. Good luck.
You will need it.
