You creep back to the corner and listen to the men talk for fifteen minutes.

Someone they refer to only as the "Master" has planned an attack on the town in the valley. He has been gathering evil forces for several weeks, but still fears he does not have enough troops to ensure success. Therefore, he has asked the evil god Stodos for help. Tomorrow, under cover of a violent snowstorm caused by Stodos, all of the Master's troops will attack. The townspeople, unprepared and blizzard-bound, are sure to lose! You quickly go back and tell the others.

Roderick grows grim and whispers, "We must destroy the Master and this pagan outpost now, for only we can prevent this terrible attack!" Salamdros argues that your duty is to escape and warn the town of the attack. Will you side with Roderick (233), or Salamdros (234)?
