Choose Your Own Adventure D24



It is the next day. That morning, you are immediately put to work back in the quarry and made to break down rock down with a pickaxe. And before it is even midday, you are completely exhausted. But that is not the worst of it. Orcs have arrived at the camp. It seems they are interested in iron that the goblins think can be found in the quarry. And the orcs have arrived to help “motivate” the slaves to work harder to find that ore. And the orcs are even more brutal with the whips than the goblins are. What was already a living hell for you and the other slaves has become that much worse.

As you are worked to exhaustion and viciously whipped by the new orc overseers, it sinks in further. You will not survive long in this camp. You are being worked too hard. It is only a matter of time before your body breaks down completely and you either die from being overworked or are killed when you cannot work anymore. It reinforces for you that you need to do something if you are going to survive. You think about your options as you swing the pickaxe at the rock.

What do you do?
