LANDMARK
Once you spot the big obelisk, you’re only about a days out from Mercy.
You sure about that, old man? That crossbow bolt ain’t scrambling your memory?
Bolt didn’t hit me in the head, did it? I done this trip more’n dozen times!

VIOLIN
What’s that sound?
I think it’s a violin, dad told me about them. Someone on a caravan must have found it somewhere.

NAVIGATOR
Hell, I’d trade three or four guys with crossbows for a good navigator: he does his job right and you don’t need the crossbows.

JUMBO
What were you and Jumbo talking about?
Don’t let him hear you calling him that.
Why? That’s what the other Sheepdogs call him.
You’re not a Sheepdog. That’s Alphas right hand man, his enforcer. Only other guy in Salvation with a Relic rifle.

ROAD
We’re lucky this whole road isn’t completely washed out; another five, ten years and it probably will be.

CAMERA
What’s that?
My mother’s old camera.
Does it still work?
That’s a complicated answer: it doesn’t need a battery, and if there was film in it, then yes, it would take a photo. But film is long gone, same as the chemicals to develop the pictures.

SCARECROW
You ever feel any guilt?
What do you mean?
Forging the nails that Alpha and the Pack use to make their scarecrows?
When it’s someone in the village, sure, but did Dad always say?
…Do whatever it takes to keep the Pack happy.

EXPEDITION
It was hard for them to tell how many of the Prophet’s zealots were on the march; it was the biggest military expedition they’d ever seen.

RUST
He saw the zealot pull out a weapon-an old pair of gardening shears, broken and rusty, the handles wrapped with twine for better purchase.

CAMP
Thy didn’t know it at the time, but those first few days just riding through empty wilderness and sleeping under the stars were some of the best times of their lives, despite the danger and the uncertainty.

RHINOCEROS
“What the fuck is that?!”
“It’s a goddamn… rhino. A living Relic. Used to see them in the zoo, someone must’ve let it out before the End…”

RIDGE
Wait! If I know the Sheepdogs, there’s a squad waiting up on that ridge; the three on the path are to draw out the zealots, then the spearmen rush down and join the fight.

JOURNALS
“Your dad left me his journals, think he knew that he didn’t have much time. I haven’t read them, he told me that what was inside had something to do with the whole of Salvation; there’s a reason I don’t live here.

GRUNGY
Your average Sheepdog is pretty grungy most of the time, but those Relic pistols they carry are taken apart, cleaned and oiled every night over prayers. The bullets too.

-So, is this plant edible or not?
-I don’t know! There’s like four plants in here that look like it!

ROAM
Loaded down with food and survival supplies, you can roam far; around twenty miles a day is doable, way more if you find some flat stretches of good road.

HORIZON
-What’s he doing?
-Says he’s using his fingers to tell the direction from the North Star, says we gotta head northwest.
-You see earlier when he told the time using his fingers over the horizon?

REMOTE
The Sheepdogs hate the watchtower assignment; one week at a time, out there with dried meat and beans, climbing down the rope ladder to take a shit. No one comes this way, and if they did two guys aren’t gonna stop ‘em.

SNACKS
Funny thing is, this place was abandoned long before the End. They built a new highway, no one drove down this road anymore, no one stopped here to gas up and buy snacks.

NOMADIC
Merchant caravans wind their way around to various villages. They might stay here in Salvation for a week or so, but they always form up and head out eventually, searching for Relics and useful material.
