[ interesting to open this forum with such a clear declaration of distrust, but there’s valuable information in here still. ]
Thank you for the invitation.
My companion spoke to the Shepherd, or attempted to, at least. He said,
“The wolves are the cost of the covenant. Are their claws deadlier than the Manor's falsehoods? Is bloodshed a crueler fate than damnation? My flock is protected by our oath. The wolves are signs that that covenant holds true. Each death is a tithe paid. The wolves are not punishment. They are proof. The fire speaks, and the fire chooses. I do not play children's games. I am simply a host. The Manor toyed with its pawns. But here, the pawns play with fire. Tell me which burns truer."
so he's out here peddling souls to satan or something?
( this shithole is getting worse all the time (tm). )
your companion good btw? i know some people here think all attention is good attention ( saber.... ) but not sure i'd wanna be in his crosshairs just in case he's the one pulling the wolf's triggers. you know?
Mayhaps. I would imagine he mislikes the idea of any us breaking the bonds of the commune or covenant.

It’s good of you to ask. He’s as well as he can be — and a deft interlocutor, besides, so it seems only the words themselves will haunt him, for the moment.
The attacks also seem to lack a pattern indicative of a singular guiding hand, for better or for worse.
