You have urgent business to conduct two towns over and are in a hurry. Despite the dire warning of a man-eating manticore who dwells there, you're willing to take a shortcut through the mountains.

At around the halfway point, you feel something whistle past your ear and see some sort of quill embedded in a tree inches from your head.

"Ah...missed. Pity- you would've been better off feeling my venom before I devoured you." A sultry voice calls out. Before you is a beautiful but vicious-looking manticore blocking your path, her tail swaying menacingly.

Wanting no part of whatever designs she has on you, you turn to flee but almost immediately stumble and fall down a steep embankment. Perhaps it's your imagination but you could've sworn she yelled out "Oh no!" as you went over.

At the bottom of the embankment, you're in great pain and your vision is blurred, but you can feel someone shaking you and calling out in a sorrowful and concerned tone.

"Please! W-wake up! Come on....are you all right!?"

It's your manticore assailant.

What Do You Do?
