Use my charisma to walk straight out. Make sure to mention that my heart is probably half-rotten by now...
"You know, I'm dead. So... You wouldn't get anything from killing me..." (2+1(Art of Charisma)) The don't let you go, but they do start to ignore you. It seems that they're not interested in you. You take a better look around. The cultists (all wearing boxers and t-shirts) seem to be preparing this next victim (a guy in a priest's robe) a little more than the others. And then you realize: they're trying to summon something. That's what the sacrifices are for. And, since they are cultists of Bel Sham-Haroth, it's probably him they're trying to summon. This would not be good for the Maul. Or for Ankh-Morpork in general. You can see the runes they drew on that counter glowing slightly. This might be bad.
WHAATTT??? Wreck my shoes!!?
Turn their clothing to flesh-eating locusts. (a new fashion design by GermanUberwaldean Dwarf bioengineer Hans Uristenstein)
Hans Uristenstein! That's it! You focus your godly power... (2) And fizzle slightly. It seems that even in a sanctuary to fashion such as this, your powers aren't strong enough to make something that's not in fashion yet. You might only be able to make things that are commonly worn. Or that everyone wants to wear.

"Return Fire" If i dodge a ranged attack i have a chance to grab it mid flight and trhow it back
Knife FLURRY
You take out a few knives. You jump up and (2) drop your knives with a clatter. How is this possible? How is everyone failing so badly? Raaagh... (Luck:6) At least the cultists didn't notice you... Still a very boring corner by the way.
Healing magic on ARMS!
You focus your mind on your arms. You remember how they are meant to be, and, focusing your will, (3) you do absolutely nothing to your arms. (luck:1) In fact, you managed to lose your fingers on your left hand. This is very bad.
Axe to the face!
YAAAAAAAAH! (2) (dodge:4-1) You smash your axe into the floor beside the cultist. (luck:2) It's stuck in the floor. Damn. This might be a problem, seeing as the cultists are closing in...
In case healing magic fails, go help derm. If not, attemp to ninja igor again
You see the wizard writhing in pain, and go over to help. You combine your "medicine" and !!SCIENCE!! skills for the ability "Probably healing". (6+1(skill)) (sanity:3) You manage not to hurt him as you heal him masterfully. His arms are fine, and probably better than they've ever been. You cured his addiction to tobacco while you were at it. And fixed up the rest of his body. With five scalpels, a roll of gauze, some needles and thread, and a lot of hope.
