Before returning to base, Rod first went to Number 17 Grey Street to find the Medicine Woman, who had finally returned, and paid for the fifty pieces of Puppet Wood he had previously ordered, as agreed.
It was only then that Rod felt relieved; now the Wood Puppets only lacked a living spirit.
This thing could only be found in the souls of the living. Of course, Rod couldn't slaughter the innocent, but ever since the Black Priest incident, most of the Doomsday believers had gone into hiding and were not so easy to find.
Rod decided to try his luck and asked the Medicine Woman about it.
To his surprise, she actually had some, and the price was not high: ten silver coins for one portion, and there was a vast quantity available.
Rod restrained himself from asking where they came from and bought one thousand portions in one go.
