>"Heya howdy sir! My name's Tomato, me and my buddy are looking for the Demon King! Do you uh… know something about that- AGH!*bzzt bzzt*"Wow, she sure got straight to the point…
The man lifts his finger and a wave of electricity-based magic shoots out, zapping Tomato and sending her flying back and crashing into Hannypold in comedic fashion.
>"Aha! I knew that silhouette seemed familiar! My kindred spirit, that's Dark Lord Rei, the lightning demon!">"Oh… it's Chaos. What's up? You good?"The man, Rei, seems pretty relaxed right now, but you have a feeling he could attack at any moment.
>"So, you guys are looking for our Little Princess, huh? Well, to be honest, I wish we had caught her by now, but she's got that damn coward protecting her all the time. And that bitch Satella too…"Rei reaches for his drink and takes another shot, every one of his movements makes you flinch slightly.
>"Well anyways, you're probably going to stand in my way at some point, so might as well teach you a lesson real quick…"The Dark Lord gets up from his seat, and an aura of blueish lightning appears around him, leaving burn marks in the wooden table and seat.
>"Not gonna go too hard on you, newbie. Just a one-on-one duel, 'k? Not a fan of using swords and stuff personally, but you can keep your little friend there, might actually be a challenge that way. Oh, and how about this? If you win, I'll tell you where I think she is, and if I win, I'll get your cutie companion there for myself, deal?"This guy is clearly bad news, and he's a scumbag to boot!
You look around the bar, there are very few people, all adventurers, hanging around, but you can see burn marks all over their clothes and skin. They must have lost a duel with the Dark Lord, but this also means that he'll probably let you live if you lose… right? You could try some kind of strategy, but you doubt he'll go easy on a cheater. What will you do?
>Accept duel>Reject duel and go away>Accept duel and immediately give up (we didn't need Tomato anyways…)>Consult with the group first (secretly formulate a secret strategy)>Give Chaos to Tomato and ask her to duel him instead>Surprise attack!!!!
