Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20190302132042

You had been a sheriff of a moderately sized village for servial years now. There was both humans and mamono living here, althuogh majority of the mamonos on this region were wild, living in the wilderness, or smaller camps around the region.

The village itself was rather peaceful, you had successed on keeping the crimelevels in barely existing level, and for a long time your most tasking duties had been braking up a bar fight, and even that was rare. All in all it was safe to say that this village had certain kind of serenity in it. Sure there was a danger that the wild mamonos come to seek men from here occasionally, but that happened barely once in a year, and usually they were driven off rather quikly. The farms around the village would have been more in danger, but then again most farms were handled by strong men, with mamono wife, so in the end they weren't really in any kind of danger. In the end the only ones in any real danger were lone travellers who happened to run in to some wild mamono, You werent sure how usual that was, as there was rather steady amount of travlellers. only real indication of men who has fallen in to some mamonos clutches were lone horse wondering in to the village, and that was relatively rare.

How ever that serenity was broken one day, you saw one of the travlellers leaving the village in a hurry, and couple hours later the wealthiest memeber of your community, who happened to be a Danuki was found, tied, gagged, and hefty bump on her head right next to her safe, which was wide open and empty. Everything pointed to the traveller who had left the village couple hours ago. it was clear that you whuold do your job, and go arrest the robber, who disturbed the serenity of your village.

For nearly a day you follow his horses tracks, you are a good rider, and you have a great horse, you know you are catching him all the time, but your horse needs to rest at some point, also you are getting a bit tired. Not only that, but the robber seems to be running in to an area where you dont really want to go. 15 years ago, there was mamono wars raging right about here. In the end peace was signed, and one of the agreements on the peace treaty was, that any man they capture on thier area, they may have him. but trying to take a man outside that area, would restart a war, a war, that they cannot win. It's common knowledge that some men go there intentionally, seeking thier company, nobody ever hears from those men ever again.

You know quite well that it's 5 days to pass trough their territory, you know that it has been done. how ever you know that getting trough that area is extremely unlikely. How ever, if the robber went there, you shuold go there to arrest him, or at very least get back the Danuki's belongings.

You arrive to what essentially is the border of their territory, and now you allready see the dustclowd rising in the distance. It's the robber you are chasing, and he most likely has seen you, and is trying to get away from you. Then again, right here you are in relative safety, going any further means that you are in manticore territory, a place where you really dont want to be.
