[Flagrarus]

You give Horl your permission to train your dogs for you until you return. What you don't tell him, however, is that if he fails to teach them how to do fire front flips, you'll feed him to them use him as a test subject in some kind of gruesome experiment you haven't come up with yet. But it will be gruesome.

So you continue on your merry way to the offical goverment place of Sjingpingpong (really, what do you call such a place in English?).
(7) There's some kind of protest going on in front of it. You get a bit closer to read some of the signs the protesters are holding.

They seem to be aimed against you. Or, more specifically, the zoo and Horl, as they don't know you own it. The few you can read from your position say: "CLOSE DOWN THE ZOO", "DEATH TO THE MURDERING CAVESPIDER", "KILL THE KILLERS", "RYAN MUST BE AVENGED", and "HORL STINKS".

Well, this is certainly going to be a lot of trouble for you. Not as much as for Horl, but still, they also want to them kill Tarar, the only one of it's kind ( that you know of )! You can't let them kill Tarar, he's our friend weapon against all skinless people!

train the dogs to blow rings of fire!

[Flagrarus]

train the dogs to blow rings of fire!

You could tell Horl to do that, only you're not anywhere near him right now. Should you go back and tell him, ignoring the protesters who currently want him and Tarar dead and the permit you came for?

[FuzzyZergling]

Yes, we should go warn Horl.
But first, talk to one of the protesters, and try to gather information.

[Flagrarus]

You talk to one of the protester, trying to get information*.

"Excuse me good sir. I, a law-abiding civilian of Sjingpingpong who has totally nothing to do with the zoo, would like to enquire about this protest. What is going on?"

"Well, Ryan was some skinless guy, and then a spider from the zoo escaped and killed him, and now we are going...hey look, it's the mayor!" He immediately joins the other protesters, who have already gathered around the mayor. If they're talking and not just yelling their slogans, you can't hear what they are discussing. You decide to hurry back to the zoo and warn Horl*.

You run to the zoo, once again showing off some amazing running skill. When you get there, you find that the door is closed, and protesters have gathered in front of it. You take one of the secret entrances without being spotted by the protesters. Inside, you see Horl has already gathered up the animals and turned them into a makeshift army. You ask him about what happened.

"While I was training the dogs, I saw one person trying to kill Tarar with a hammer. I threw him out, of course, but a few minutes later he returned with a whole group of people, all of them carrying at least some sort of weapon. I chased out all the customers and closed the door before they could get in, though. I'm not sure what exactly they want, but I am prepared to sit it out here. Of course, I took some precautions for if they do manage to get in, or if we have to open the gate. We two and the animals would have to fight them, but I'd prefer to solve this without violence.

The animals could probably hold them off, though. Training the dogs* went great, and not only can they do front flips while on fire, they can also focus their fire into one direction. I even took StanStan out of his cage, and we could let him loose as well, if it becomes necessary."

He has thought this through well, apparently, though you are a bit suspicious of how calmly he is stating all this, not to mention the fact that he turned your animals into fighters. Even the rabbits look kind of ferocious all of a sudden.

"So, boss, what are we going to do?"

*I decided to hide rolls for this turn. Tell me whether you prefer it like this or with the rolls shown.

[FuzzyZergling]

Go back out and try to convince the crowd that they should give up attacking the zoo.
If that fails, take Horl and go hide out in the tunnels, maybe.

[Doret]

Write on a piece of paper, "Endangered Cave Spider, Arachnis Tara on exhibit! Murdering this creature or conspiring with others or helping others to kill this creature is punishable by instant execution! 15 Moniez a ticket." Then stick the paper to the Zoo's door, if people ask you why tell them that the Arachnis Tara cannot harm people with skin, and thus the most poisonous spider in the world is harmless and cannot legally be killed. Because Villaine obviously applied Arachnis Tara be put on the endangered species list, there are so few of this spider that gets along so well with others of its species in a medium sized colony made of silk.

[Megaman]

Pretend to close down the zoo. Work on a super weapon from Tarar's venom to kill all these insolent Sjingpingpongian fools. THEN, THE WORLD.

[Flagrarus]

You actually did try to put Tarar on an endangered species list. Turned out, there were only two lists you could put an animal on: Tasty Animas and Non-tasty Animals. You went with Non-tasty and figured that would be good enough to protect him, but apparently not.

You take one of the secret tunnels out and walk back to the front gate. More protesters have gathered. The mayor seems to be trying to convince them to stop, but his own guards aren't even listening, and decided to join in with the protesters instead. Also, they're carrying real weapons ( and are actually trained in using them ) so you're probably lucky you didn't decide to attack them. Anyways, you try to convince them to stop attacking*.

"You are all idiots for attacking the zoo over this Ryan's death! You are stupid people, and you should stop!" you yell at them.

At least you distracted them. They're no longer trying to break down the gates, but they are all looking at you. Mean looks, mostly.
One of the guards steps a bit closer to you. She is carrying a mace, so you should probably avoid making her angry. Well, you just did, but you should try to avoid making her angrier.

"Explain what you are talking about before I crack your skull open and feast on your brains."

So...can you talk your way out of this? ( It's possible. Just...say something really smart or convincing. Preferably both. ) Of course, if you don't think you can, you could always try to fight them ( Horl might open up the gates and unleash the animals on them, if he notices ), or run away.

do they actualy have any evidence it was the spider?

[FuzzyZergling]

Explain (lie) to them about how the mayor had Ryan killed to protect (insert horrid secrets here), and payed the zoo to take all the blame.

[Flagrarus]

They have evidence it was a cave spider, yes. Two other guards saw it kill Ryan.

[Evergod41]

Explain (lie) to them about how the mayor had Ryan killed to protect (insert horrid secrets here), and payed the zoo to take all the blame.

This seems good, especially since he is the only other person trying to stop the people, but add in things like

"The Mayor payed me to keep it a secret, but I just cant keep it on my morally profound mind any longer!"

and other crap...

[Megaman]

I agree with the Zergling's idea.

[Doret]

That, or we can say that Arachnis Tara lives in a cave near Sjingpingpong. Thus the spider can be a WILD spider, not like our DOMESTICATED Tarar. It's so foolish how people over-react over the smallest things. If this Ryan really wanted to be safe, he shouldn't have lost his skin and stayed in the guard.
