Heart of an Assassin

You decide that going over the smooth plains will be much easier than trying to fight your way through the thick forest. It might be character building, but it would also be quite hot, sweaty work, and the last thing you want to do is arrive in a city looking a complete state.

It occurs to you that you are being far too vain about your appearance for the type of job you want to do, but you push that thought aside. It wouldn't do to have people laughing at you.

You set off over the plains.

You haven't gone very far when you come across a little old man walking along, carrying a walking stick. He is clearly blind, and is stumbling frequently.

What do you want to do?
