“Wait — don’t hurt me!” you squeak, backing away from the orcs.
Things look grim, but you’re sure you can fast talk your way out of this. Orcs are slow and stupid… right?
“Look, behind you!” you say.
But they’re wise to it. You find yourself dragged away, and subjected to a vigorous beating.
Fortunately, orcs have short attention spans. Half-conscious, you find yourself dragged along a corridor and thrown into a dark, very large underground room.
You’re not alone here.
Your family!
But joy quickly turns to sadness as you realize that you failed, and you will die together.
The End.
