As the assassin gets closer, you run away as fast as you can.

“Yee-haw!” a voice yells excitedly, “we got ourselves a runner!”

You look back to check how close the assassin is.

A big mistake!

While distracted, you stumble over loose rocks and fall flat on your face.

You push yourself up and want to run again when horrible pain erupts in your right and left thighs in short succession. The assassin’s throwing knives stop your flight for good.

“Aaah! Please! I have nothing to do with this!” you plead.

“Give me the figurine, and you shall live.”

You decide to…

1. …give him the figurine and hope for his mercy.
2. …be defiant. You are just so tired of Death’s sick game.
