Rolled 54 (1d100)

The man’s attitude is a little unnerving. You decide it’s time to go back to Jack now.

You’re standing near the front of the store, next to big windows that open onto the car park. The pie stall itself is near the entrance, facing inwards into the store. From where you’re standing you have a wide view of the outside, the snow peacefully drifting downwards, though it hasn’t fully blanketed everything.

As you turn away from the pie seller, you see a sudden blur in the corner of your eye. You look back, and the first thing you see is splashes of red on the window. There’s a body just outside on the pavement, twitching in the growing red snow.

You hear someone scream.

All hell breaks loose. A group of men rush for the door, and you can hear the screams and shouts of women and children all around you. Every shopper in the immediate vicinity has their eyes glued to the scene, and more are coming from all over the store to see what the fuss is about. There’s even a few people starting to choke, and you think you see someone vomit. As you look around, you see Simon and Jack together, calmly discussing something. You think you also see something dark moving through the crowd, but with all the people moving closer you can’t be sure.

What will you do?
>Head to Simon and Jack. They must have some sort of plan or know what to do. Plus, you should tell them what you’ve learnt.
>Rush out to help. They might still be alive, and you could learn something from them.
>Calmly stand back. With all the chaos, it’d be easy to miss something important. You’ll observe the crowd and see if you can spot anything out of the ordinary.

You take a moment to think. This arrangement has potential, if you can ‘corrupt’ these two as you did Davor and Karz… But even the Herbalist and Throat-singer remained slaves. What these two are requesting is instant promotion over and above what you have granted any other dwarf unwillingly in your employ.

Still, are they not more valuable this way? Perhaps this can be a good object lesson for the others in why it is better to submit to your rule without the rigmarole of war. Bah, whatever results from this decision is immaterial, a matter for future-you. Right now, you must secure this opportunity before it slips away.

“Very well,” you reply at long last. “You two are free.”

The Pit-Guard’s Apprentice looks uncertain, but unshackles the two of them. The Geologist rises slowly, painstakingly, aided by his Daughter. She glares daggers at you the entire time.

“You remain free ONLY ssso long asss I have no reasson to revoke thisss privilege, and consssign you to the mines… or to the ‘freedom’ of death.”

“Yes,” the Geologist says, nodding as if it makes perfect sense to him. “Of course.”

“You won’t get away with this,” the Daughter hisses.

The Geologist snaps something at her in dwarf-tongue, and she straight up and goes silent. This spitfire of a female, suddenly cowed… Is not an unappealing sight to behold.

Such matters must wait, though. First, there is the culling of the elderly to attend to. Beginning with the most recently-acquired dwarves, you summon those too old or enfeebled to work before you… And their families. You explain to them the sacrifice that these old dwarves are about to make, and why it must be done—to spare and preserve the young.

“I… I see,” says one, slowly lowering to his knees and bowing his head. “If this is how it must be…”
“I will not go quietly!” another bellows, evincing strength of lungs far in excess of the strength which long left his arms and back, judging by his performance. “These hardships are brought on by YOU, you damned skink!”

This dwarf’s head is the first one removed from his body, while his children and grandchildren wail in horror. One by one, the other elders join him. Some rise to fight, but al this proves is that they are indeed well past their physical prime. You force the Duergar to take part, and the Geologist and his Daughter to watch; this is so all involved might see the extent to which dwarves will loyally serve you, and to what extent your brutality can extend when needs must.

The snow outside the fortress is stained deep crimson.

Combat Round

You wrestle yourself back to your feet, raise your weapon, and spend a split second deciding how to respond to the next inevitable exchange of blows. You feel dizzy. You underestimated these monstrosities - they may have a glimmer of humanity, but when angry, they are clearly as vicious and dangerous as rabid wild animals.

You are engaged in melee combat with Otto Belview and Zygfrek Belview. Otto is gravely wounded. Zygfrek is swinging her dagger around wildly, threatening to stab you with it.

You have 17/41 HP and enough magic for 4 first-level and 3 second-level spells.

Suggestions:
>Attack Otto (the donkey/wolf hybrid, under half HP)
>Attack Zygfrek (the cat/lizard hybrid)
>Use Channel Divinity (1/1) for Radiance of the Dawn. (https://pastebin.com/chuTtwgW)
>Use your action to Disengage and flee (specify direction)
>Cast a spell or use an item (list: https://pastebin.com/chuTtwgW)
>Other (specify)

His Southern drawl sounds friendly, but you can’t help but pick up a little bitterness behind it–laying him flat on the gallery’s shiny granite floor, your heart skips a beat or two when you notice the sizable trail of blood you make dragging him around!

“F-fucker cut my hamstrings…” Teddy growls as he scowls at the deep wounds cut into the backs of his legs. “A-and the others…”

“Don’t dawdle now, Stanley…” Croons that annoying droning voice from the crusty speaker in the corner of the gallery room, “One more question and we’re done…. The image is just about complete…”

Chucking a rubber duck at the speaker with a dull ‘squeak’, you flip the bird at the voice as the door on the other end of the room unlocks with a cheerful ‘beep’ just like all the rest… and just like the last few, the door behind you begins crackling with electricity. Super.

“Oh, and I think THESE particular subjects will be of particular interest to you.” The voice continues. Gus...

“Th-the others…” Teddy mutters through a wet cough, “H-he’s got more in a storage area. N-not all of ‘em are alive, but…” Another cough. “Y-you’ve gotta…”

Yea, yea, you groan, you’ll put it on your To-Do List! You’ve got a lot on your plate already and whoever’s running this show doesn’t strike you as patient!

“S-stan?” Wheezes the second security goon lying amidst the trap rubble, “I-is th-that you?”

“Kid don’t sound good…” Ly remarks as you leave Teddy where he is. Nope, you agree as you spot similar wounds on the back of Cal’s legs, he doesn’t. And chances are there’s a lot more messed-up people to save, too. Not to mention ‘You-Know-Who!’

“I’ll keep an eye out for her.” Ly replies as he drifts away in his ASTRAL FORM. “An’ if I see anything else I’ll let ya’ know too. Just uh…” your skeleton remarks as you remove a few bits of debris and rubber duck from your BONE CLAWS, “just be careful, yea? Guys like dis’ do nasty stuff when cornered…”

Yea, you frown, what’s his deal, anyways? He’s probably not even a LIEUTENANT or anything, so is he just being a dick ON PURPOSE!?

“Time’s ticking, Stanley.” The voice gently reminds you. “One. More. Question.”

He’s right, of course, but what about these guys you just saved? How do you know he isn’t gonna, like, eat them or something the minute you leave? You’ve gotta do something, but what?
