Take the Pay Chest Before Both Captains Fall
Read Aloud
Draw steel as the Ropewalk Men and Three Cuts rush each other across the rope yard, shouting over a locked iron chest. Both captains spot you at once and call out the same offer: help kill the other side, and take the chest. Crossbows rise, blades flash, and nobody waits for your answer.
