What will you do?
Approach discretely, knock her out while you have the chance.
You slip undetected into the room. You move silently onto the carpet. Stealth was an essential part of your training, emphasized strongly over many weeks stranded in the woods. The skills you learned in those dark woods, hunting for food and avoiding predators, serve you well as you slink across the floor. The woman is facing away from you, towards the wall. Underneath her heavy breathing is a hint of frustration. The intensity of her activity would belie an oncoming climax, yet as time passes she seems no closer.
You place a hand on your weapon. You are prepared to strike down any potential obstacle to your mission. As your sword silently cleaves the air between you and the woman, a magical **** shimmers out of the collar around the woman's neck. Your blade is stuck midair, intercepted. The woman turns around, gasping in embarrassment and fear. She draws a blanket around her, crawling towards the wall.
As your racing mind grapples with the unfolding events, the woman raises a hand. Magical vines emanate from the ground, wrapping around you quickly. The tendrils grip you strongly, despite your resistance. The summoned tendrils follow the guidance of her outstretched limb, pulling you towards the open window. In one quick motion, you are cast outside. Your own post-defenestrated screams are the last thing you hear before hitting the ground.
