Hide in the wasteland? You didn't have enough supplies.
Flee to the Wild lands? You had to cross the Empire.
Escape by boat? You had nowhere to go.
You had no confidence that the group of mercenaries would survive what the inquisitor was going to force them to do.
So you have to wait for the morning.
Although that only made you think about more things.
What if he had lied to you? And if it was a trap? Or if it was a low-risk situation and it was a way to force you to come?
You wouldn't know until you came face to face with the problem.
Or ask one of your companions.
You eventually met the inquisitor at the agreed point.
"I'm kind of surprised you show up. This is a dangerous job, are you sure about this?" I ask, surprising you.
You stated that you wanted to do it, although you asked him to delay the extermination a bit to prepare resources.
"I've already got the materials... I was going to lie to you but there's no need.
I stole them from the town hall, they can't do anything when it comes to this. And we don't have more time, the perimeter isn't that secure."
I ordered you to follow him to pick up the rest of the people.
He was accompanied by four city guards.
Once the entire expedition was in front of him, he gave a short speech.
The classic "do this job and they'll get a reprieve."
And then I explain to them what they were going to do.
They were going to get some fuel drums and they were going to burn down houses.
The whole town is infected by the blood plague.
The job of this group was to burn houses in a specific pattern and kill anything that came out of the flames in their direction.
The order was to kill everything that moved, but not pursue them
He also gave a brief explanation of what the blood plague was and how it is transmitted.
A slime that replaced the blood, until the body of the infected could not stand it and died.
and then the slime attacked new people to infect them.
The security protocol was the same as the one Rakta told you about.
The only difference was that if someone broke it, they would be executed.
And that at the end of the job there would be a medical check-up.
