"Well this is unfortunate, isn't it my friends? They seem to have crossbows. Excuse me for a moment." Pull off my left arm and lob it away from the people with crossbows. "I should probably retrieve that...!" Flash a charming smile at them and employ my RETRIEVAL tactic. Go get that arm! Then whistle and walk out. Because I am dead.
You rip off your arm and throw it past the cultists. (3) They don't notice until you walk past them and then start shooting at you! (4) (dodge:6) You don't actually care, but it might be best to not ruin your suit, so you dodge easily out of the way of the arrows. The cultists look at each other, shrug, and grab your shoulders and throw you back at the rest of the hostages. You tried, at least. And now they're playing with your arm! Stop that!
Skill point gained: James Bond DodgeCombine some socks and rocks to make improvised bolas. Use them on those douchebags.
You look around for some rocks to use as a weapon. (6) You find a pair of mighty half-bricks. Disguised as a normal brick. It is said that the great half-brick-in-a-sock is the only weapon that can defeat a true Sourceror. You quickly give it the ol' dwarven headbutt, freeing the half-bricks from their bricky prison, and take out some socks. (1) Your efforts are seen by the cultists, who confiscate that pair of socks and that half-brick. Oh, well. You think you could easily find more rocks or something.
Skill point gained: Half-Brick locationHeh, this is amusing. Keep watching and smash any cultist that walks too near.
I hope i can learn something from this 
(corrected some typos, damn mobile phone...)
You examine the cultists' sacrifices. (5) They appear to be trying to extract the hearts without damaging them,
and they know where they are. Most people look a little up and to the left. You ask for a few pointers on organ extraction, and, to your surprise, the head cultist gives you some advice. You'll have to tell Igor, Igor, and Igor about this if you get back home to Uberwald. (2) It looks like they're moving slowly towards you, but they take the human in front of you instead.
Skill point gained: Nonconsensual Organ Extraction> Fiorelli Gucci notes her displeasure of the Cultists ruining the fine suit the Dwarf was wearing by taking vengage and morphing the Cultists' clothing into burlap wife beaters and extra-tighty-whiteys.
Hmph. Philistines. They wouldn't know a genuine Burleigh and Stronginthearm chainmail suit if it bit them in the arse. Revenge! (4) You reach out with your mind and turn their robes into boxers and t-shirts. Not quite what you were going for, but still... (1) One of the cultists comes at you! He looks like he saw where the change in attire came from! He grabs you on the arm and starts to drag you towards the sacrificial altar! (6) You shake him off, changing your clothing to a very menacing low-cut robe of Darkness. He appears to be intimidated and backs away.
Skill point gained: Intimidating dressderm, you need 3 to make something
Try to move to the back of the group, to lose thier attention
You decide it would be better if you avoided the cultists' attention. So you try to hide at the back of the group. (4) You sneak behind several other people until you find yourself at the back of the group, away from any unwanted attention. There's a corner here. You know, where two walls meet? Yeah. Boring to the max.
Your rules are lost on me.
But that is perfectly okay because this is Discworld and FUCK AERODYNAMICS.
Combine SPELL MAKING (Self explanatory) SPELL CASTING (You pretty much need to cast a spell to make a spell) and PARKOUR (Dodging around objects while moving at high speed) to create a spell of PROJECTILE AVOIDANCE. Then CAST SAID SPELL. On us.
You prepare your mind for the new spell. (2) And you lose concentration as you trip over a very annoyed dwarf. Remember, Parkour only works if you look where you're going. You are now lying on the floor in the middle of the group of hostages. Oh well...
