So, you're thinking that...
It could be dangerous at night... You should inquire about the possibility of spending the night in this large house.
The caws of some nocturnal birds reach your ears...
The rustling of leaves in the trees along the road...
You continue forward, stumbling occasionally.
It's getting darker...
You hear the howling of some animals (dogs? wolves?) coming from the darkness, somewhere near the small hills (to the left of the road).
Your body trembles. And it's not just the cool evening air that's causing it, but also the fear that's increasingly gripping your consciousness.
"Please... Please... Let me stay overnight in this house... Just one night..." - you think panickedly, your large, beautiful emerald-green eyes darting from side to side of the road. A premonition of impending threats leaves you feeling helpless and desperately hoping to hide in some secluded, safe place.
Alas, lately this cruel world has proven to you that "hopes" are fragile and often illusory.
So, you continue along the road, dreading every second some unknown, sudden danger...
Fortunately, after half an hour, you manage to reach your destination: you're approaching this large two-story house. Light still shines from the windows, despite the approaching night.
Approaching the large wooden doors, you can discern details: in addition to the light from the windows, loud shouts and the hubbub of many people are emanating from this house, and the neighing of horses can be heard from an outbuilding.
This building is clearly a large roadside inn...
You're about to touch the door handle to go inside...
Bang!!!
Thanks to your agility and reflexes, you quickly backed away!
The door swung open, almost hitting you in the forehead!
Someone's body flew past you...
A body that exuded a very unpleasant aroma.
The stench of urine, the stench of sweat, the stench of someone very drunk's breath...
You watch in horror as this "someone" lies on the ground, face down in a dirty puddle, trying unsuccessfully to rise.
The sounds of disgusting, foul language...
"I'm tired of listening to your shitty whining, you bastard! Get the fuck out of here, crum!!! You stinky motherfucker! Until you pay off your old debts, you won't get any booze!" - this "stream" of expletives is voiced by a tall, overweight human male standing in the doorway. Judging by his clothes, muscular build, and menacing appearance, this guy resembles the bouncer working at this inn.
Until he goes inside the building, you can't move, not even take a step.
You're scared.
The drunk, who was roughly thrown out of the inn, couldn't get up. For a minute.
The level of **** intoxication is likely very high.
All you can hear is the inarticulate ramblings of a drunk.
The drunk barely moves...
His clumsy movements only serve to further stain his clothes (which initially looked shabby) with dirt.
It seems the "inn's exile" is barely aware of what's happening...
Perhaps he doesn't even notice you...
Shouldn't you try searching this drunk?
Perhaps you'll find some useful items on him?
Obviously, you shouldn't rely on coins (otherwise this guy would have been able to pay for the ****)...
But what if you can "borrow" something else from him?
Someone might call such an act stealing from a helpless person...
But are all these secondary moral issues so important to you right now?
You have enough problems as it is. For example: you'll clearly have to pay for the right to spend the night at this inn.
You have no money, and you've recently learned that payment doesn't have to be money...
Unpleasant and shameful memories of the "payment" exacted from you by that rude commoner in whose house you spent the previous night arise in your mind.
Your sphincter still aches and clenches several times as you imagine what that human male did to your body.
You fearfully look at the prostrate body of the non-compos, mumbling drunkard.
Then you look at the slightly open door of the inn, from which the hubbub of many people can be heard.
Your gaze notices a wooden sign above the door depicting a hand holding a large mug with a crack in the middle (and the inscription: "Broken Mug Inn").
So, what will your choice be?
Will you rob the drunk first and only then enter the building?
Or will you skip that and go straight into the inn?
You decide what you should do...
