>SELECTED: “Chapter I, verse LX. The lash wielded by thine own hand leaves a deeper mark than any master’s whip.” The grip of your gauntlet as you prise the whip from the slavetrader’s grip is as unyielding as iron. You will neither permit nor abide a villain, nor allow their ill behaviour to go unpunished. Damn the consequences. Cain in the Desert. Cain in the City. Cain to the ends of the World. [Divine] CAIN CAIN CAIN. It is any consolation, this was the only pre-select option that would not result in a breach of your chivalric Code.<span class="mu-r">Gain +1 Step on the Path of Cain [22]</span>
>Write-in: Dame Stoutsworth. A clever addition, and one I think primarily intended for [Hearty] but I can work it in here so that you at least have a chance of a less bloody outcome. This does not mean that I am accepting you have an attack ermine on standby in all situations the devolve into combat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq5Xkfz_MW8&ab_channel=moviesoundtrackgod - CrusaderThe sight of the rise and fall of the whip, the ancient symbol of the oppression of your forefathers, goads you into action. Your body begins to move before your mind can fully reassess how unwise this decision is. It is not the first time you have felt this experience, the odd detachment of your senses as your steps take you within arms reach of the slaver. An ocean and a continent away, in the forgotten ruins of a dark forest faced with an ancient evil, you acted first before the full weight of the consequences could dissuade you from what must be done.
Before the slavemaster can deliver a second blow upon the distraught mother for the high crime of refusing to be meekly separated from her child, you are there.
