Attempt to seduce the man choking us.  Clearly he's flirting.

((...What?  Orders I don't understand work the best.))

Okay, fine. So long as this doesn't become an h-game.

You decide to try and get alone with one or them so you can fight your way to escape that way.  As such, you try your best to defend yourself from their blows.  The guy on top of you stops choking you and punches you hard in the face.  Several others join in, although they don't have much to add.  After an eternity, you hear the captain approach and the blows stop.

"You killed Chunjeong.  Any last words?"

"Chunjeong was a traitor, don't you wanna know why?"

Bluff! Bluff like our life depends on it, because it does!

[Devastator]

This interrogation is a time sensitive situation, and the crowd wants to murder you.  In that spirit, until you are killed or free, updates will be about 24 hours apart, and absense of orders will be assumed to mean silence.

[Egan_BW]

The only way out is through! Though the intestines! Combo meter! Light and heavy attacks! Super mode!

Open up with a launching attack on the captain, putting him up in the air. Then jump up ourselves, and juggle him a little bit with light attacks.

[syvarris]

If we have our sword, sword.  If we do not, bluff.

[Devastator]

If we have our sword, sword.  If we do not, bluff.

You don't, for the record.  You aren't sure what happened to it after you got pinned.

[MidnightJaguar]

Bluff then. Our swords magic it'll come back if we manage to get out of this bind.

"Chunjeong was a traitor, don't you wanna know why?"

Bluff! Bluff like our life depends on it, because it does!

"Chunjeong was a traitor, don't you wanna know why?"

There are a few murmers at your accusation.  They stop, though, when someone speaks out.  It's that rough soldier that was in the bar earlier this week.

"I saw her earlier in a bar.  She said something about contraband and threatened to kill me.  I grabbed her then and tried to scare her off a bit.  I thought she was trying to pickpocket me or something."

You try to say more, but hands clamp over your mouth.  Some others speak up.

"Yeah, and then we got searched.  I don't know what she's got against the ship, maybe she's crazy."

"She killed Chunjeong, she should die for it."

"Turn her in, they'll lynch her in public."

They're going to kill you.  You make one more effort to escape.

You come close.  You come very close.  You bite down on the hands over your mouth, and manage to break a few grips.  You struggle through the knot of onlookers, trying to go down, up, or through.  And you make it.  You almost make it.  You get through them all, and reach the boats gunwale, about to dive into the sea, upon which you hear a bang, and feel the worst pain in your life.  You've been shot, and whatever was to happen, shall happen without you..

The End.

[TheBiggerFish]

I told you so.

*sigh*

So what now?

[Devastator]

So what now?

Now I think about what game to run next.  I could give you a summary of the problem, but it would be out of left field, as it would have been a couple more weeks before the first symptoms showed up, so at this point it's meaningless.

[Egan_BW]

Basically, we died because syv thought it would be a good idea to follow along with my most illogical actions. gg

[TheBiggerFish]

Well, uh, congratulations on finishing a game then.
