Scripts and Text

CHARACTERS
This book includes two main characters from other stories. Ani has a rather in-depth description, which you can read elsewhere. Muninn (as a Lich) is described as he appears within this script, but for the background that will make him make sense there's a document that explains it all.
Ani - See http://thedeathlings.com/artists/ - Ani is a thin young Deathling with patchwork scarring and stitches. She has long spiky hair and dark eyes. She wears a thick heavy patchwork cloak that seems to move on its own.
Muninn - A Norse Crow Spirit, Currently Possessing a Lich. When possessing someone, Muninn imparts crow-related qualities and imagery to that person's appearance.

Athens and the Olive Tree
Short Comic Script © 2010 Ian Struckhoff
Summary - The story of how Athena and Poseidon competed for the patronage of Athens, by offering gifts. Poseidon creats a well, and then the horse, and almost makes a threat. Athena offers one gift, the olive tree-- which can be used for food, fuel, timber, and more.

Summary - A Deathling, The Nameless Cowboy, breaks into a series of apartments in the City of Fog, looking for something.

The Undead - Hordes of zombies and other undead. They range from the recently-dead, to the horrifically rotting, to skeletons. Can also include undead fantasy creatures, vampires, wraiths, etc.-- but only rarely if at all in this story.
The Refugees - Five pour lost souls lost in a world of fog and zombies. Ideally, it shouldn't be entirely clear whether they are modern poor people or medieval peasants. Just that they are poor
