Chapter 35: Don’t Forget The Kobold
That boy fought like a coked-up Badger made love to an ornery mule and a Klar snake in an unholy threesome to produce the most vicious offspring you could possibly imagine. Yep, it was just William Oh. All by himself.
- Thug McBandit – level 25 Climber in a 4th floor Stilt-bar. Name redacted.
The two Climbers glanced at Loth’s smoldering body. It was distressingly still.
“Odd company you keep.” The bandit said, plucking the health potion out of Will’s hand. “Tell us where the girl is and we’ll heal your friend.”
Should I tell them the truth, lie, or buy time? Will thought at a blistering pace as the ugly mug stared down at him.
If he told the truth, they would get Brianna, then they might honor their promise and heal Loth. (unlikely)
If he lied, they wouldn’t get Bri, and they might honor their promise and heal Loth. (also unlikely)
If he bought time, Loth was going to die, if he hadn’t already.
The flames across Loth’s body had ceased, so maybe the Wyrd had stopped burning, and Loth had the chance to stabilize.
