*Hallway*
"This is the end you point towards the thing you want to kill" the Stranger instructed as he and Luke are near a side exit of the lodge, handed the boy a shotgun.
"I know how to use a shotgun, man" Luke told the Stranger.
Chuckle
"No, you don't" the Stranger disagreed.
"What? How do you know?" Luke asked.
"Trust me. I know" the Stranger answered and...Door Open as Kate came up behind them.
"Hey" Kate greet Luke with a smile.
"We need to hurry son" the Stranger tells him and the two pulled back.
Chloe smiled, making Luke smile back in return.
"I'll see you soon" Luke tells her.
*Outside*
Door Close
"So...so tell me. You're the expert on these things. What's...uh...What's a guy gotta know...?" Luke ask him, making the man turn to him.
"You just be careful. You follow my lead" the Stranger answered before going down the stairs.
"So...how many times do I have to shoot it with this shotgun before it's dead?" Luke asked as he went and followed the man.
"Well you'd be shooting a long time" the Stranger tells him.
"You mean this thing won't even kill it?" Luke said, surprised.
"No..but it'll slow it down" the Stranger stated as the two made it to the bottom of the stairs.
Footsteps...Footsteps
"Well how do you kill it?" Luke asked as the two are walking through the woods.
"They're don't like fire" the Stranger answered.
"I don't like fire" Luke stated.
"They fear it, and it can kill them if you have to...See their skin is like...it's like tour armor unless you burn it off first" the Stranger explained, making Luke grimaced.
"That's gross..." Luke comment.
"What are these things like? I mean, are they just crazy unpredictable or can you figure out what they're gonna do?" Luke questioned.
"Well...they adhere to some patterns...like any animal...or human" the Stranger tells him.
"Wh-You mean, like how? Like they've got schedules?" Luke asked.
"Well, they only hunt at night" the Stranger stated.
"Any, uh, pro Wendigo tips? Like if I rub garlic all over me they won't be able to smell me or something?" Luke said.
"They'll still smell you" the Stranger remaked.
"Anything like that?" Luke ask him.
"They can't see you if you're standing still. It's like toads...sight is based on changes of movement in their field of vision" the Stranger informed.
"So if I don't move...basically invisible" Luke states.
"Yeah, well, I wouldn't recommend testing it out...unless you have no other choice" the Stranger cautioned.
"If these thing...Wendigos...are or were humans, do they still have some aspect of humanity in them?" Luke wondered.
"Well, the retain certain things?" the Stranger answered.
"I mean, is it really right to kill them? Maybe they can be cured or..." Luke said, but was interrupted by the Stranger.
"They surrender human rights the moment they eat one another. There's no cure. There's no redemption" the Stranger stated.
"I-I mean if they're still human...I I don't know if it's right to hurt them" Luke disagreed.
"When you're staring one in the face...it's them, or you. Feel free to take the high route, you won't be on it for long" the Stranger argued.
