Tartarus Page #2

Synopsis: Austria-Hungary 1813: Jacob and Veith return home from the Napoleonic war. Their road leads to the remote mountain village Pahlbach. The two newcomers encounter a frosty reception - and as the night has barely passed, they already understand why: In the woods around the village a strange evil is brewing mischief. Unknown creatures of extraordinary violence and cunning, lure the men into the woods and make a silent demand: In order to further propagate, the beasts claim women's bodies. While Jacob refuses immediately and calls out the fight, Veith is still uncertain: The enemy appears to overpowering. Maybe they should try to come to terms. Progressing events put the courage and humanity of the two men to the test and threaten to shatter their friendship. But Jacob Veith and are not the only ones to whom the demand was made. The battle lines are hardening - and in a single bloody night, the future of the whole place is at stake ...

Would you pass the water when you're done?

I don't want blood outside my house.

We are going to follow

the blood trail tomorrow.

Are we?

The girl mentioned a woman in the woods.

If a woman messed him up like that,

I'd rather not meet her out there...

Veith...

ls the door locked?

Who is it?

Who is it?!

Lights out!

What are they, Veith? Animals?

I don't know! Shoot!

Veith, ammunition!

They are huge. They are huge, Jakob.

On the roof! On the roof!

Do you see something?

Nothing.

Close it.

I'll be damned...

We nearly were.

They want something from us.

What?

Of course they want something from us.

Otherwise we'd be dead now.

Intimidate. Then demand.

What could these beasts

possibly want from us?

Women.

Jakob, what are you doing?

There! That's all you get,

you hear me?

The answer is no!

No!

No.

Not good, you idiot. Not good.

Precisely, Veith. Not good.

Not good!

Second Day

I need ammunition.

Ammunition?

Does Mr. Schartl also need some?

Yes, Mr. Schartl too.

Do you have knives?

Knives?

Where is Mr. Schartl?

Two more beers, please.

Two?

I'm expecting someone.

Thank you.

- Don't I know you, from the old days?

- I don't know you.

Well, I was smaller, back then.

Yes, and now you're all grown up.

- Precisely.

- Will that be all?

- Just wanted to talk.

- Yes, sure.

The women are lovely around here.

The store has decent weaponry.

- Could be useful.

- Useful for what?

There's been a fire! A terrible fire!

Where?

Behind the monastery, the orphans shack.

Someone set it on fire.

The children were still sleeping.

Everything burnt down.

We barely found any remains in the ruins.

There's nothing left.

We should stay out of sight, Veith.

The fire at the shack. They set it.

Why are the corpses in front of our house?

Third Day

Devils, is what they are.

Demons from the old tales.

I always laughed about those...

They are not almighty, or else

they wouldn't stay in hiding.

Not almighty...

Are you out of your mind, Prussian?

They are animals that think.

Animals that toy with us,

with heads like snakes...

Why the hell are we still here?

Why haven't we left already?

Because that's your empire, up there.

Your possession.

And these devils can be hurt...

Maybe not killed, not like this.

But our shots wounded them.

We just need to find a way.

This is no longer about enchant

and bonjour, Trimm!

Even tigers and lions would flee!

You don't want to see it,

but this is a battle we will lose.

So what do you want to do, run away?

I wouldn't know where to run.

Why else do you think I've

crawled up here to Pahlbach...

My family's gone.

Just like yours.

Apart from some scratched coins,
