>greentext writing
This is awful to read OP.
>>
>>2117399
You are disadvantaged in numbers, so the ideal choice would be a narrow corrider or room where you can deal with them 1-on-1, preferrably by shooting them to not risk getting your shit beaten by a storm of baseball bats.
>>
>>2117399
Go upstairs anyway. Be careful and stick to the edges of the rooms. They'll be a lot more likely to fall through, especially as a group.

>>2117399
>>Foyer Shootout
>>Kitchen Battle
Start with Foyer, fallback to kitchen. We know the house, they don't.

>O: “Stay back! What do you want?”
>A: “If you think that will help you, Tiger.”

>Mar is not even standing behind the desk
>She’s right behind you, arms intertwining with yours
>Her breath feels hot on your neck
>A sharp set of teeth gently, carefully lock around your throat

>A: “I’ll give you the short tale, I’m old, I’m hungry and you’re my meal ticket. I’m also the only
chance you have to make it through what’s coming.

>You try to break free but her delicate hold is strong
>She doesn’t even move as you try to force your way free

>A: “I’m the last of three. And my sisters will not be happy that I’m out. I don’t think the owners of those humans will be happy either.”

>Mar presses into your back and then keeps going
>She’s stepping into your body and a burning pain fills you
>The teeth on your neck slowly sink in
>You try to scream but you can’t. Blood fills your throat

>A: “Those five gave me just enough of a kick to break the lock on this shitty cage and to make this bond. Spill some more blood for me and you can find out just how much fun we can have together.”

Pact of Amarantha Sealed - Bond Level: 1
Blood has been spilled in her name by you, the Champion upon her cage. She is freed and accepts you offering. She grants you strength and vitality (+2 STR, +2 CON). Further sacrifice will grow and strengthen the bond between Her and Champion


> A: “Testing, 1, 2, 3. You hear me little Ori? Good. You might want to get going. My cage was the only thing holding this house together. Also the town guard are coming. I don’t think you want to be caught.

>You shake your head as Sergov continues

>S: “Rauel here seems to think 4th Street Putas own this town. We are reeducating him. He was your buyer. Pulled this trick with three of my other boys. Caught him this time. He won’t be playing games no more. Ori, you want to thank him before he takes a trip?”

What do you do?

>Confront Sergov ”Wait, Sergov did you use me as bait?

>>Confront Sergov ”Wait, Sergov did you use me as bait?
>>Thank Rauel for trying to get you killed with some payback
Confront is a strong word. Maybe, as we smack this loser around, we ask Sergov it. Let's try and settle in to our new reality.

>Thank Rauel for trying to get you killed with some payback
+ask how permanent our payback can be, if greenlit then
>Take his life, feed our bond Ori. He is nothing
>>
>>2120792
>ask questions
Like, who else is probably coming after me if you die? Good stuff to know
Then I guess kill him and feed the bond

>>2120799
Supporting.
Then lets see if we can milk any more info out of him. Something about his gang, maybe. Then kill him and feed the bond.

“But you’re not Tiger. Don’t mind me. Midnight snack never hurt a girl”

>You take your time with the gloves and at one point a small pocket knife
>Rauel doesn't really tell you much you don’t already know or suspect
>Some new player is paying 4th street to put pressure on the organizations
>Focused on the Triads at first about a year ago
>The Triads got the message and left after a few months

>She’s licking the blood off his face
>Mar frowns at the taste and slithers back behind you, resting her arms around your shoulders
>Clawed hands trace circles under your shirt collar, smearing warm blood

>A: “Not quite warrior blood. A peasant, but I’m still starving.”

>Your hands burn for a moment and you drop the knife
>Boiling blood crawls under your fingernails

>A: “If you’re going to do a job, do it properly. Consider it a loan. Do well enough you get to keep them.”

>Something snaps and you are suddenly tackled by a free Rauel
>His eyes are rolled back into his head and he’s silently screaming in your face
>There is no way he can be this strong after hours of torture

>A: “Of course he isn’t, but every new weapon needs a little training. If you can get his heart out maybe I’ll throw in a little extra, Tiger.”

>Mar has summoned a chair, and another joint and seated herself at the back of the room, smoking, watching and seething with power you don’t understand
>Rauel snaps at your throat with his broken jaw and fights to get your neck

>But you aren’t any of those things
>You throw Rauel across the room with a shout
>Strength you never felt before welling up inside
>The world drops away, save for the smell of blood and the glowing eyes of Mar
>A rhythm thunders in your ears
>Pulses in your hands
>You circle the room, facing off against your prey
>You feel
