How could they even _think_ of asking him to do this?! &quot;That is _not_ going to happen!&quot; &quot;Jimmy, come on!&quot; Sarah pleaded. &quot;You're the only one left who can do this!&quot; &quot;No. Uh-uh. Forget it, Sarah.&quot; He looked at Todd. &quot;Todd, I am not risking everything I've worked for on this hair-brained scheme. I have a reputation to maintain!&quot; Todd shook his head. &quot;What you have is a job to do,&quot; he growled. &quot;Look at it this way. You've always wanted to be the hero.

Robyn tried, but she failed and paid the price for it.&quot; He looked Jimmy in the eye. &quot;You want her sacrifice to be in vain?&quot; Jimmy sighed. &quot;All right,&quot; he said, resignation heavy in his voice. &quot;I'll do it.&quot; They all sat down at the table. Jimmy picked up his dice and said, &quot;Sir Agathorn, Paladin of Torm , reformed assassin for Bane, will avenge his fallen comrade! Darryl, you're the Dungeon Master.
