Delighted, the drunk finishes his drink and beckons for you to do the same. The two of you exit the table, and depart the tavern. The drunk leads you to a back alley, where you meet two tough looking fellows. After introductions are hastily exchanged, the drunk leads the crew into the alley, and you arrive at a side entrance. The drunk bangs at the door, and a viewing slit opens, revealing two rather bloodshot and hazy eyes. Seeing who is at the door, the slit closes, the sound of unlocking chains is heard, and the door slowly swings open. The four of you enter the building.

As you enter, acrid smoke fills your lungs, and it quickly becomes apparent that you have entered an illicit speakeasy, where all manner of mind numbing intoxicants can be procured and enjoyed. The room is filled with low seated couches, housing all breeds of ill-kept folk not fit to socialize in polite society. The drunk leads you into a back room, where a large and scary looking man sits behind a desk.

The drunk rather sternly asks him for his coin, and the large man begrudgingly tosses a small pouch on the table, which lands with a resounding thud. The drunk asks one of his guards to count the money, who subsequently informs the drunk that the payment is light. Angered, the drunk begins to threaten the large man, but is interrupted when cloaked figures emerge from the shadows and grab the four of you from behind, placing daggers to each of your throats.

The drunk orders you to take action. What do you do?

  1. Attempt to escape the grasp of the cloaked figure
  2. Do nothing
