You’re ready for blood, saving Dara is just a bonus.

You sprint the final few paces to your target. The orc stands oblivious, rusty sword held high above its head, back turned towards you.

It’s the perfect opportunity for a little decapitation.

You breathe in, preparing to land the killing blow. You raise your axe…

Or at least you try, but in your haste for bloodshed, you forgot there’s still an arrow sticking out of your good shoulder.

An involuntary yelp of pain escapes your lips, alerting the orc. It turns and sinks its rusty blade deep into your belly.

YOU ARE DEAD
