In the Dungeons of the Tickle Queen
You stand up before anyone else can volunteer and nod to Shaori. Shaori nods back.
She then points each of you into the forest in different places. "Report back here when you are finished. If none of you return by nightfall, we will strike anyway. Go with the gods blessings," she whispers to each of you.
You and Shuana exchange glances, then quickly embrace in a hug. "Be careful out there," you whisper to her, stroking her hair out of her face.
"You too," she whispers back, tears forming in her eyes.
You squeeze her shoulder and the two of you part ways, each heading in your assigned direction. You realize that tears are forming in your eyes as well. This may be the last time you see your best friend. You quickly brush at your eyes to clear them. There will be time for that later. For now, you must concentrate on the task at hand.
You start into the woods, watching carefully for any signs of sentries. It seems like you have walked a very long time without seeing a thing.
Suddenly up ahead, you hear voices. Women's voices. You crouch down and creep through the trees.
Up ahead are two heavily armed warrioresses. They don't seem to have noticed you. They converse lightly with each other, mostly about the dullness of guard duty.
You know what you must do.
How do you go about doing it?
