Say you were just kidding and keep your pendant

From Create Your Own Story

The very thought of being without the pendant suddenly fills you with dread. "I was just kidding," you say.

Monica nods. "As much as I want that pendant around my neck, it's rightfully yours. Now come on, let's go."

It doesn't take the two of you long to find the undead priest when it is specifically hunting you. It fires its death bolt at you, which bounces off of you harmlessly. Then Monica sends her own bolt of death from her crossbow into the bony creature, blowing it to bits. "Nice shot, Monica," you say. She smiles and blushes.

Getting back in the car, Monica eventually drives you to the university where she teaches. She leads you into a building, up two flights of stairs, and finally into a large, dark meeting room, lit only by candles. Three men and two women are seated around a large round table. Monica introduces you to the others. "We're kind of an informal society studying ancient Inca undead," she explains. "But no one ever had any proof they were real...until now."

A white-haired man explains that the team has developed a catalyst that will greatly increase the magic power of the Pendant of the Moon Goddess. The power could then be broken up to provide thousands of anti-magic protective devices for soldiers - or kept together to create a weapon that could be powerful enough to slay the undead Inca demon and all his minions.

"The key word is COULD be," a woman with red hair speaks up. "And if it's not powerful enough to slay the demon, we've wasted all that power, forever."

"But if we only use it for defense, what if it's not enough? What if we run out of shields? And what will we use to actually defeat the demon?" Monica asks.

"Let's vote on it," says the white-haired man. "Who's in favor of using the power for offense?" He, Monica, and the third woman raise their hands.

"Who's in favor of using it for defense?" The redheaded woman and the other two men raise their hands.

Monica looks at you. "Well, Katarina, it looks like the deciding vote is yours."
