I panic as my face hits the gravelly floor, I need to get to the grave yard or I'm more or less dead, well prison but still. She is clearly stronger then me and she's fast, so I'm screwed. She easily overpowers me and puts her hand on the back of my neck and her knee in the centre of my back. I feel all hope is lost until I identify a corpse a few feet away from me (under the ground and not, you know, just lying in the middle of the street) I chant some ancient words and reanimate it, a wild dog.

Well. This'll be fun. I try to keep my grip on Willow and ignore the dog, but it becomes clear as its teeth bite at me I'll have to take care of this threat first. I just have to make it fast. I kick at the bones hoping if they break the enchantment will die.

"Excuse you, that is an adorable puppy and deserves none of your abuse, also I please get off me I'm starting to cramp" and I want to run so far away from here and represse this memory.

"Your 'adorable puppy' nearly took a chunk out of my arm! And no! I don't think I'll get off you! You are wanted for crimes of necromancy. And honestly, this isn't helping your case in the slightest."

"Well darn it, but you have to admit that I is rather cute, even if it did just try to maul you to death, that just adds to its charm. Also is necromancy really a crime, I'm not hurting anyone, unlike you right now, you're knee Is digging in and I'm not comfy under here"

"Not hurting anyone??? You're complaining about being a little uncomfortable while I am literally bleeding because of YOUR reanimation!" While she's distracted I tie her hands.

"Um first, you came at me and I'm trying to defend myself so sorry about you arm, my bad, and second please don't tie my hands that's not good for me" After I say that my reincarnation leaps on her and sits on her instead. I pull my hands apart from the not-yet-tied rope and stand up, watching as my new dog sets itself down on top of her.

"YES I CAME AT YOU THAT IS MY JOB!" I try to stand as her dog jumps on me. I notice a crowd has started to gather. If I keep Willow here a little longer maybe another member of the Watch will step in. At the very least, it's harder for her to escape now.

"Okay, okay, no need to scream. Calm down, I can't understand why you'd even want to join the watch, it just seems silly to me. Unless youre secretly a criminal and youre covering your tracks from the inside," her buddies will be here soon so i start to try and reach out to other scelentons in the dirt. I find a few and chant some archane words under my breath and have them close to call. Luckily she's too busy with the dog to notice.

"It's a respectable job! I don't understand why you can't comprehend the dozens of people who volunteer for this" I gripe while dealing with the dog. I look up. Suddenly, I'm surrounded by reanimated corpses of various animals. My eyes go wide and I softly curse.

"Wait, you do get paid right, why on earth would you do this without pay?"

"Of course I get paid what sort of question is this?!" I crouch in a readied stance and don't move. Not while she has a landslide of an advantage.

"Well you said volunteers and I just assumed that you would be the kind of person to do this with out pay, one of 'God righteous men', you know," my reincarnations get ready to attack, surrounding her

"You don't know me. But you implied no one wants to do this work, which is wildly untrue." Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the darker blue of a more experienced Watch member. I kept a smile off my face and prepared to attack.

"I just have never met anyone who tries as hard as you, and sure I've only just met you but the only time I've seen people try as much as you right now was when they were trying to escape death, and even then some weren't as enthusiast as you are."

"Or MAYBE I don't feel like roaming the countryside looking for you. This is an easy ends to the problem. And why are you so chatty? Stalling will get you nowhere here." And I jump at her, sure the other member of the Watch can see.

One of my reincarnations blocks her attack and I shrug my shoulders, "I was just trying to be social, if you can't tell I don't talk to A lot of people, but i guess if you don't want to talk to me I'll just leave," I turn to leave and my reincarnations make a path for me through the crowd
