    Summary

    You know if this year’s harvest is damaged by the predicted frost, it will be very bad for your town. You agree that appealing to the ancient forest god worshiped in this area hundreds of years ago is worth trying. However, the Councilor’s translation of the ancient rituals is crap and when you argue with him, backed by your own translations, you’re still pushed aside.

    Imagine your surprise when the name of the unmarried woman to be chosen for sacrifice is your own.

    Now you need to figure out a way to save, not only your town, but also yourself.

    Great.

    Summary

    “Here’s your deal, demon.” Dipper stands up straight so the dim candlelight can gleam off his armor. “Release the woman, and I’ll let you keep your head.”

    “Hmmmm.” One eyebrow goes up, and lingers there. After a moment, Bill casually starts examining his nails. “Nope! Can’t oblige you there.”

    “Wh- Yes you can!” Dipper glares, throwing his arm out to the side for emphasis. “Just- go up to wherever you stashed the prisoner and let her out. Then I can take her back to-”

    “Nah! See, there comes a time in every Dark Lord’s reign when he starts thinking about capturing a royal bride. And stealing one and running off with ‘em is the go-to move!” Bill smiles, looking up and off into the distance. He drums his fingers on the armrest. “But since you’re here- hm. Kinda changes things up.”
