Choose Your Own Adventure - Forum Edition

[James Gryphon]

Betray Daskar. It looks like our and his best chance.

...although I admit I am wondering, if he has a SHOTGUN, a (broken) chainaxe, and a sword, why is he afraid of one girl in a straitjacket? Maybe he knows something we don't.

Unless he's just afraid of getting his paws dirty. That would explain why he's constantly asking us to kill people for him, instead of doing it himself.

Spoiler

Because they're both nuts.

"Okay, sounds good. I don't trust that stoat as far as I can throw him."
"Well, if that applies to me as well, I'm smaller. Heh, so you can throw me further. Heh heh."
Galli chuckles nervously.
"Well, okay. Let's go."
The three of you walk to the end of Daskar's hallway, where BlueRose flops to the floor.
"Okay, cut my hands free, then drag me."
You use your scimitar to cut Blue's hands free, then you and Galli each grab one of Blue's legs and start to pull. When you get to outside his room, you tap on the glass.
"Done."
"Good. Give me the sword back, it's mine. Then I'll let you in."
You nod, passing the blade through the gap.

Baliss lost the scimitar.

A few seconds later, the door swings open, and Daskar is standing there. He motions you and Galli inside, then slams the door, peering through the slit.
"Yep, that's Blue alright. Okay, looks dead. Okay, let me just gather some things, and we'll be off. Oh, and your Chainaxe and fuel is over there. I had to borrow it for a while."

Baliss got some stuff.

"Where's everything else? The food, the serum?"
"Where do you think? I ate the food, and I had to drink the serum after my arm broke."
"Wait, you broke your arm?"
"I landed pretty badly. My arm hit the anvil."
"Ouch."
"Okay, let's go."
"Okay."
Daskar walks open to the door and kicks it open, coming face to face with Blue. He raises his shotgun, but she jumps forwards, hitting his legs. He falls backwards, the shotgun blasting harmlessly into the roof. Before Daskar can fire off the second shot, Blue jumps on him again, hitting it aside. He struggles with her briefly, managing to pull out his scimitar. She bites his paw, causing him to let out a roar of pain and drop the blade. Blue goes to grab it, but Daskar shoves it away. They continue to fight on the floor, until Blue finally gets the upper hand. She punches him roughly in the face, stunning him, and reaches for the scimitar again. Unable to fight her off with one of his arms pinned, the stoat reaches his free limb towards the shotgun...
"Galli! I'll grab one weapon, you get the other. Stop them from killing each other."
"Which one?"

Have Galli grab the shotgun.
Have Galli grab the scimitar.

[Delthion]

Galli should grab the shotgun.

[James Gryphon]

The shotgun can mess everything up very quickly; Galli is better coordinated than we are and would probably do better stopping it. It's not the easiest thing in the world to kill somebody with a sword if you're not used to it, so tackling Rose would probably stop her, and I think we could handle that job fine.

(On the other hand, our bizarre form might be better able to take a shotgun blast than Galli's body; if Daskar almost but not quite has the gun, our trying to take it might be safer.)

[Delthion]

Ah...I misunderstood.

[James Gryphon]

Updated my post with an edit. It just makes things more ambiguous though.

[Milady Scribe]

The shotgun. It's effective with or without ammunition, whether your intention is to distract, maim, kill, or simply disable your target. It's also a lot easier to use than one might expect. ...and packs a kick that can elicit maniacal laughter. (Or is that just me? )

[Delthion]

The maniacal laughter? I think that's just you...

[James Gryphon]

If nothing else, maybe Galli could scream and that would throw the combatants off for just long enough to make a difference. Even a couple of seconds would help.

[Aimless Gallivanter]

tru

[Milady Scribe]

The maniacal laughter? I think that's just you...

Figures. O' course, I only got the chance to shoot one once. The laughter was simply unavoidable, I'm afraid.

[Delthion]

Ah...

[Groddil]

Got an exam now. I'll post later.

[Aimless Gallivanter]

i was too busy peeling myself off the back wall thanks to the kick back to be laughing maniacally. i was a smol when i first used a shot gun.

[Groddil]

"Get the shotgun!"
Galli dashes forward, snatching the shotgun just before Daskar's claws grasp it. The stoat hisses.
"You scummy little-"
You reach down to grab the scimitar, but it slips straight out of your tendrils, and straight into BlueRose's waiting hand. Daskar struggles, trying to push her off. You try to pull Blue off him, but she manages to stab him anyway. Daskar gurgles, then goes limp.

Daskar has died.
BlueRose loved that.

Bluerose giggles.
"Ah, good. 'Bout time he met his end. Let's see, search 'is corpse. Try an' find th' key."
You search through Daskar's pockets, and find the key.

Baliss got the Warden's Key and 5 shotgun shells.

You step over to Galli and whisper to her.
"I don't know if we can trust her. Seems crazy."
"I still think we did the right thing. Rather than killing her for Daskar's amusement."
"I suppose."
"Whatcha talkin' about?"
"Nothing, Blue."
"Oh, Baliss. This shotgun did you want it?"
"You hold onto it for now. I probably can't use it with my tendrils."
"Sure. Once you get your hands back, its all yours."

Galli liked that.

After searching the room and not finding much else, aside from some rations, which the three of you promptly devour. You head back to the crossroads, where you must decide where to go.

Travel through Cell Block A.
Search the Solitary Wing.
