Fuu accepts the deal

Fuu swallowed and nodded, doing her best to maintain her composure and not give away the disgust and fear she felt. “Yes,” A shiver ran through her as she spoke, “I swear upon my faith and my honor to give myself to you, surrender myself in mind, body, and soul so long as my friends are allowed to leave unharmed.”

The shaman, who had previously been at her mercy, now held all the power and seemed invigorated by her vow. He whistled again and the gnolls slowly backed away from the Bravos, trying to resist the power of the magic that controlled them but finally relenting. A moment later, the pulsing light from the trees faded and the Bravos blinked out of the haze of their lust. Fuu reluctantly stood up from her position crouched above the shaman, allowing him to get to his feet.

“Wha.. what happened?” Emmaline asked as she rubbed her head, looking down at her own naked body and then up at the gnolls who were backing away to the cave. Becky clutched her half torn clothes to herself and Liv breathed out a sigh of relief as the wave of lust steadily vanished.

“You three may leave now,” The shaman answered, waving dismissively at the trio who seemed confused and growing more worried by the second. “Your friend has quite selflessly given herself up in exchange for your lives. I suggest you make the most of her sacrifice, leave now, and never come back.”

“Bullshit! You're dead!” Liv shouted and brought her rifle up, taking aim at the shaman's head to drop him. Without hesitation, Fuu stepped forward to block the shot.

“He's telling the truth,” Fuu admitted, looking ashamed. “There was no other option. I couldn't let the gnolls take you. I had to do it.” The monk's gaze fell, “I swore upon my faith. If I break my vow, I will lose the protection of the gods.”

Becky, Liv, and Emmaline stared in astonished disbelief as the shaman placed a hand on Fuu's shoulder. Not wanting to risk a bullet, he stayed behind her and guided her away back towards the cave. Fuu could only comply, walking backwards into the dark mouth of the gnoll's lair, her friends watching helplessly.
