They're Just A Little On Fire, They're Still Good
You turn to start running but out of the corner of your eye you see the map catch fire, you stamp the fire out and start picking up some of your stuff, stuffing back into your charred duffel bag.
“We don’t have time for this.” Zoe whispers to you urgently. “The pirates could be here any sec”. Her eyes go wide with panic and she spits a musket ball out of her mouth into her hand. She gives it a dreamy, confused look before falling forwards. The back of her neck gleams red in the light cast by your burning possessions.
“Run!” You should at Joe and as he turns to flee you see a red mist appear in place of his right knee, he howls in agony as he falls to the ground.
You look up to see Pirates emerge from the jungle, you hope that at least your death will be as quick as Zoe’s was. “I hope you don’t think we’re gonna let you off as lightly as we did your friend.” Captain Black says, “I think it’ll be a fair few hours until you’re even close to death.”
Oh dear.
