Bautista: Yeah, youâre a little late there, buddy. Canât talk. The whole damn station is a city boss. We gathered about 400 people on the train, and when they went up the stairs, it swallowed the first twenty of them like it was eating Cheese Rings. Weâre on the platform now fighting off its tongue and its minions. It belches and these walking mouth things pour out of it. Theyâre too strong. Waiting on the next train to escape. Donât know what weâre going to do. Half of these guys sold their hats.
Carl: Holy shit. Be careful. Youâre going to have to fight the Kravyad boss two stations down at 435 and try the employee portal exit. Iâll try to find out about them now. Keep me updated.
Bautista: Talk soon.
Geez, 400 people? That seemed like too many at one place at one time. A disaster waiting to happen.
I turned to Madison. âThe Kravyad. Tell me about it. Now. Quickly.â
âWhich one? We have a few dozen on shift right now.â
âDoes it matter? Are they different?â
âOf course theyâre different,â she said. âOne of them is always whining he wants to go home to visit his girlfriend. Another is demanding hazard pay after getting stabbed by a crawler. She was highly offended as sheâs not designated as a combatant. Theyâre just as different as you and your little hairy friend.â
âNot a combatant? So theyâre not bosses?â
âBosses? Hardly. Theyâre actually part of the human resources department.â Madison straightened, standing proudly. âThey work directly under me. Part of managementâs initiative to increase productivity.â
âHoly shit, lady. Start with the basics. What is a Kravyad? And do they attack people? Like the station mimics attack people?â
âLike I said, theyâre part of a money-saving initiative. A very successful one, I might add. The conductors and porters are less likely to demand time off if they donât remember their between-shift breaks. They end their shift, go into what we call a pre-production stupor, and they awaken ready for their next shift. Theyâre still quite dazed until the moment they get on the trains. And by then itâs too late to request time off. It has increased productivity by 35%. The Kravyad are responsible for maintaining this program.â
I refrained the urge to choke the woman out. All of this information about how they abused their workers was infuriating, terrifying, and painfully familiar, but it was also irrelevant. âBut what are they? Are they wizards? Giant owls? Elves? Tell me what they look like and what sort of powers they have.â
She gave me an are-you-really-that-stupid? look. âDo you know what a naga is? Theyâre kinda like that. But blue and with six arms. They take their payment by getting to eat one or two dwarves a shift. It saves the company a lot of gold.â
âWhat kind of magic do they cast?â
âThey hypnotize the dwarves and grapples getting off the train. They keep them around for eight to twelve hours depending on the lines attached to their station, and they send them through the portal when itâs almost time for their shift to start again.
