“Lets hide on the edge of the forest. If they say the truth they won’t dare to go near it.”
You said that with enough confidence to convince the others, but you knew this was not your best plan.
But you didnt have many options left and staying in the town would lead to violence.
You only looked back once while running to the trees.
And to your delight you had been right, a few of the villagers had gotten outside of the bar but didn’t pursue.
Wait… is that a good thing?
You didn’t have much time to ponder it as you started going through the thick undergrowth of the forest.
After a few seconds of relocating to a place where you can still see the town but are hidden, you can breathe easily.
“Master, I propose we abandon this town to its fate.
With your skills we could attempt a real escape, we would have to be quick in returning to the expedition, there must be other paths.”
Ghal said very plainly while Emilia woke up David by slapping him repeatedly.
“It’s a option, let me think about it, I need to do one thing so stay here.”
Taking out you pole arm you began to make the most absurd breadcrumb trail possible.
Chopping down the young trees as you went deeper into the woods.
You will definitely find you way back, illusions or not.
The trail of destruction you made grew, and the forest became wilder, less tidy.
Looking back you realize that the forest surrounding the town had been grown on purpose with a pattern.
Then you heard laughter.
“When I saw a demon fall into my web I expected a few things, but not that you would run away from creatures weaker than you.
And definitely not that path you made, it’s hilarious! Are you pretending to be an elf? Oh my, that’s even funnier! Such a proud monster reduce to pretending to be prey.”
You turned to see a topless elf emerging from the dark.
“I assume you are the witch.”
“And you are going to spoil my pantry with your antics.”
She kept a cheery smile
“your pantry? Is that the reason you have a town hostage?”
She burst out laughing at that
"Well, more of a slow cooker. Hopelessness gives a special flavor, if you behave I might be willing to share…
Well no, I have been preparing this batch for some time, if you want a bite you would need to help.”
You were stuck in silence, unable to speak as you searched for ideas on what to do.
[You have been exposed to the illusions of the forest for some time.]
[“Soulless” 2/3 now, 1 more for next level]
What will you do?
>Cast Anti-magic sphere (and then what?)
>Use Potato as a hostage, (and demand what?)
>Ask some more questions (what?)
>Make a deal with her, you won’t interrupt her thing if she lets the expedition pass.
>make a deal with her, what does she want?
>Attack now
>[fuel*2] Lets take a page of the inquisition manual, torch this and pray it works.
>Write in
