You decide to take out the guy with the boxcutter first. Sure, it may be a dull, shitty blade on someone who probably doesn't know how to use it- but a knife is still a knife.
With two quick blows, you stun and then down the first man, while his comrade flips around to see you. As your worst fear expected- he grabs the kettle and yanks it at you as hard as he can splashing you with scorching hot water.
You raise your hand to protect your face but the damage is done- all over your arms, chest, and in the fabric of your clothing the scalding hot water burns you. It hurts really bad- nothing that will kill you- but with no way to quickly disrobe or cool off the fluids you feel the pain shooting up your limbs- your skin will be red and blistered from this. You wince as he turns tail and runs.
In the scuffle, the electric kettle was yanked from the wall socket- shooting out a spark. In the quiet desperate poverty of Level 5; fire is a very real threat. The sudden spark ignites along the dry and dusty wooden floor in an instant, beginning a small fire which rapidly grows. The fire alarm in the building goes off- thankfully, fire prevention is just as advanced as the rest of the city. The fire brigade will be here in mere moments- and the building is being evacuated quickly.
You look out the hallway to see the unknown assailant running away with the sudden crowds of people- all panicking and readying to leave until the fire is contained and put out. He's getting away! But then you suddenly stop yourself- wait...
The people who were robbed! They were tied up and will be unable to leave the building on their own. Should you go back and help them? You think fast- the fire brigade will find them and help them quick enough- the chance of them dying or suffering serious injury from this fire is extremely small. If you don't pursue the violent burglar who scaled you now, he's going to get away. What do you do?
>Help the trapped people
>Chase the criminal
