character

Imani

Imani clears the church, hosts the allies' new fast-travel door, and refuses to take Carl's key or let him plan a solitary sacrifice.

Story so far

Imani controls the surviving pox slugs outside the church despite their hostility. Her personal space now contains one of Lucia's Tier 3 Doggie Door modules, allowing the entire Meadowlark party to emerge through the church doorway.

She arrives with more than twenty crawlers and reveals that they pooled their money for the barracks upgrade. When Carl tries to give her his key, she refuses. Donut has told her about his idea of substituting one of his own bones, and Imani rejects the premise that he should dismantle himself for everyone else.

She joins Elle in insisting that the operation succeeds or fails together.

Appearance

A skeletal-faced healer standing before a glowing fast-travel doorway with allies and subdued slugs behind her.

Role

Imani provides the church foothold and enforces collective responsibility against Carl's self-sacrifice.

Relationships

Carl — She refuses both his key and his plan to sacrifice a bone.
Tier 3 Doggie Door — Her room hosts the active module.
Pox Slugs — She keeps the hostile creatures under control.
Elle — They jointly bring the allies into Carl's operation.
