I like how everyone is all... O_O
Oh wait, there's that one thing that's being held!
Goodness though, I'd REALLY love some backstory there, because I did feel really bad when [THINGS] happened and Oscar was a jerk.
>_>

I hope he gets shot first, given that it's seemingly a bolt-action rifle, and she has one arm so that gives time for a reload.
“The gateway of Yre, sometimes called the Traitor’s Teeth, was only ever a test that would trouble outsiders. As mentioned previously, life is perhaps the cheapest commodity in Throne. Making a door with a lock that required a sacrifice of living, sentient creature would take only slightly more effort to open than a door without a lock.
Of course, the Vault of Yre wastes no coin, not the barest scrap if it can be helped, so even the sacrifice of a life just to open a door would be too expensive for them. So this gateway was build off of trust. The Cult of the Dragon would, without hesitation, climb into the open mouth to allow their fellows in, knowing full well it wouldn’t kill them. But for a bandit trying to break in, especially in a group, it would undermine their faith in each other… and the sacrificed bandit, sure to survive and now sure to hate his former mates, would become an unawares part of the defenses to the vault in their hunt for revenge.
The Vault of Yre remains the most ingeniously… one might say deviously… devised of all traps. The Rising King would learn many lessons from her triumph over it. The Devil and criminal Oscar, for his part, learned only one final lesson.”
