[Part 11]
“You’re not Linne,” you say. “You’re that mischief maker!”
The giant salamander snorts and more smoke fills the area. With a laugh, he says, “You figure that out all by yourself? You must be the local genius—no mystery gets by you.”
Smiling, the salamander inhales and then exhales a torrent of red-hot flames. They fly by next to you, the heat catching part of your clothing on fire. You pat everything out and stagger away from the fire. Everything smells of burnt thread and cooked meat.
You’re not burned, but you suspect it wouldn’t be difficult for the massive salamander. Then again, when the mischief maker turns to face you fully, his back leg is still stiff and doesn’t support his weight. Likely the injury he received while fighting the other leviathan…
“Sorry, kid, but before you can go tell everyone on this island my secret, I’ll have to get rid of you… And I am rather hungry.”
The salamander flares his scales and flashes his fangs. Again, the temperature increases, and you’re already soaked in your own sweat. You could easily pass out from exhaustion and heat stroke.
[Academic Knowledge] You know that’s a tactic of salamander arcanists. Fight long enough for the enemy to become fatigued from the heat.
Your equipment: a rope, flint, rags, water, a book on mystical creatures, and a small knife.
What do you do?
A) “Wait, you’re gonna kill me to keep your secret?”
B) “Hear me out—you just bond with me, and then it’s our secret.”
C) Lie. “Wait, you don’t want to eat me! I’m diseased. It’s terrible. My insides are messed up.”
D) Lie. “Wait, please don’t eat me! I’m the only one who cares for my two sick little siblings!”
E) Throw your water at the creature and then stab it with your knife!
F) Throw your water at the creature and then run for safety!
G) “Pfft. I’m calling your bluff. You’re not going to kill me.”
