Choose Your Own Adventure B31
You decide to stay and wait and see what happens. It seems like the forest is filled with outlaws. If Ophilia is out here, you fear she will be captured and maybe these men will eventually lead you to her. You try to ignore the cries and sobs of the female orcs as they are violently ravaged over and over while you remain hidden.
The men fuck their orc captives all afternoon and then through the evening and into the night. But finally, the men tire. They tie the limp, barely moving female orcs tightly and toss them in a pile in the dirt. Then the men retreat to a tent. Soon, you can hear both men snoring loudly. It seems clear no one else is showing up to their small camp with any more captives, Rosalind or otherwise. You debate leaving. But you can still hear the female orcs crying softly.
You would have never imagined yourself wanting to help an orc. But seeing how they were brutally treated, you sympathize with them, even if their male brothers and fathers would have done the same and worse to you. You creep into the camp. The female orcs hear you and one of them calls out who is there. You quickly whisper for them to be quiet. You search the camp in the starlight until you find a dagger that one of the men had left by the now-extinguished campfire. You use it to cut the bindings of the two female orcs. "You should flee here," you whisper.
The older of the two orcs holds out her hand. "Give me the dagger," she commands. You hesitate but then hand it over. She takes it and gets up and immediately moves towards the men's tent. A few seconds later, you hear the screams of the men as the orc stabs them to death. She comes back out a minute later. Even in the dark, you can see she is covered in blood. She hands you back the dagger. "Thank you, human," she said. "Be careful out there."
You nod, and then part ways with the two orcs. You had wanted to save them from the brutality of these outlaws, but they are still orcs. You have no interest in sticking around them. You also decide that at this point, you will never find Rosalind. Your best back is to double back and look for Ophilia.
You travel through the night. As the sun begins to rise, you are suddenly ambushed on the road. Orcs seize you. They had set an ambush on the road. You wail in dismay as you are stripped and bound. The orcs lead you off.
You cry softly, knowing you face a lifetime of brutal slavery.
