You walk over to Salamdros, but before you can say anything, he says, "I know what you will ask, but I will not go in there. I am not fool enough to follow a murderer into a dark room."

"Salamdros might be right", Teromil says, "How do we know this fellow didn't kill someone? I'd say he hasn't proven himself much of a hero so far. I say Salamdros should lead us, that's what I say!" Roderick places his hand on his weapon and says nothing. He studies you with caution.

In hopes of keeping the party united, you step closer to Salamdros and tell him the truth about what happened in town, taking care to emphasize the parts that prove your innocence. As you finish your explanation, a hand reaches through the curtain and grabs Salamdros! Will you attack the unknown creature (74) or run for safety (71)?
