Honor your bargain or strike down the wug?

Strike down the wug

You don't take any pleasure in betraying the **** trust of the wug, but you have no intention of debasing yourself further. With a single slash of your blade you strike the creature's head from its shoulders. Its eyes bulge and its head goes rolling into the jungle underbrush. The corpse slumps to the ground leaking green wug blood.

You clean wug blood from your blade and your bare flesh. You dress and search the dead wugs for any treasure, but other than a few decorated bone totems they seem to possess nothing worth looting. You study the map once more, memorizing the landmarks you will see on your way to the wug village.

There is a stream running through the jungle that seems to flow through the location marked as the village. You follow it for most of the way, until you come to a massive balmar tree large enough to be marked on the map. It is big around as house from the village where you grew up. You divert from the stream and approach the wug village from a less obvious angle. You soon spot a clearing, quite large, surrounded by a wall made from planks sharpened into points at the top.

You are studying the wall for any weakness when you hear a snap of undergrowth nearby. You turn and see a wug not far away staring right at you in wide-eyed surprise. You reach down and grip the pommel of your sword.

As you begin to draw your blade from its sheath you feel a painful sting in your neck. Reaching up and swatting at the pain you feel the feathered back of a dart. You pluck the tip from your neck and feel a trickle of blood travel down your shoulder. You never even fully draw your sword. You collapse to the jungle undergrowth, staring up at the trees as you are surrounded by the wug patrol.

They croak to one another and lift you onto a leather cloth that they carry between each other. Though your mind is hazy and you feel very tired you laugh at your misfortune. You're being taken to into the village, a captive just like all the women you had hoped to rescue.

You realize you are being dragged inside the largest building in the village. But what is it?

Where have the wugs taken you?

More fun
