The Sacrifice Camp (RP)

Continues from The First Sacrifice.

The sun is not yet peeking in through the trees when the party sets off in search of the camp. It has now been more than a day since Daryl walked these woods and the dog keeps losing his scent and the party has to backtrack or hope Daryl's memory --while travelling the other way-- can set them on the right path.

The drumming stopped before the light --one wonders what that means-- so that can not help guide you to the camp. But after many hours Daryl finally says. "This is it. I know it. Just past that stream is the cage where I was kept."

As Daryl speaks there is a shout of surprise from off to one side. A naked woman was doing her business and is startled by men being there. She tries to cover herself and also run back to the camp while calling for help.

You have not heard a response from the camp direction, so you may still be able to prevent her from sounding the alarm.

What do you do?

Norbert's sling shot strikes the fleeing woman in the shoulder at the same time that Olden's belt-bola tangles round her ankles with a painful sounding 'twack' of buckles. She cries out as she falls, both trying to cover her nudity and protect her body and face from the rough, root-rutted and stony ground.

Albert is barely able to catch up to her before she starts to tumble. He could try to catch her, but can be pretty sure he will get a handful of something intimate in the process.

What do you do?

- Roald -

You dexterously manage to avoid any unnecessary touching, but the woman still struggles against your hand over her mouth, not fully realising that you probably saved her from a nasty fall.

Her eyes look defiant, but she is surprised when you cover her from view. Several thoughts pass over her face, but at last she nods, acquiescing to your threat.

When you remove your hand she glares at you. "Can't stand the sight of a real woman." She mocks, but you notice she has not removed the cloak and in fact clutches it to herself in relief.

"You..." She says, looking around at the group of men. "You are not supposed to be here." But there is some hidden doubt in her voice that you can't identify yet.

What do you do?

- Olden -

If your prisoner objects to you touching her legs there is not much she can do about it, especially not until after you untangle the ensnaring belt --which we can assume you do unless you say otherwise. She glares at you defiantly but can see what you are doing and is puzzled by your care.

It looks like she wants to say something acerbic, but is unsure how strictly the promise to not make a sound will be interpreted. She settles for pulling her legs and feet in under the cloak as her act of defiance.

You might notice that her feet are dirty and scratched and bruised, as though she has been walking around in the forest barefoot, but that all looks recent, like up until a few hours ago this was not the case.

What do you do?

- Albert -

You can hear the faint sound of people over in the direction Daryl indicated --Daryl is blushing furiously and does not know where to look, and will have come away with you if you let him. There no uproar or commotion to suggest your scuffle was noticed.

Unless you go quite far away, and past the stream, you can't see the camp or even the cage. You might be able to catch a glimpse of the cage if you are careful, and Daryl indicated that the camp was out of sight from the cage on its far side.

What do you do?

"No. Thank you." Your prisoner says to Roald, turning her nose up at the offer of a drink. "Your friends ain't round here." She says, but it is a pretty bad lie. "Just us women folk, doin a, uh, 'powerment... thing. Men ain't sposed to be here." She clutches the cloak to herself tighter at this reminder.

She does not sound very bright, and you doubt she really knows what is going on or is an 'independent thinker'. This means you could possibly trick her, but there is little chance of having a reasoned discussion to change her mind.

What do you do with her?
