"Let's stay here."

From Create Your Own Story

You voice your opinion after considering the situation carefully. Fernweh wrinkles her nose and sighs. "I guess security is more important than convenience, but it's pretty morbid having all these bodies here. At least they don't smell..." she mutters, standing up and going into the room to pick up the cadavers and clear some room to sleep. At the same time, she checks them for anything useful, but almost all of the arms she finds are rusted and damaged to the point of uselessness. She finally sees something interesting on one of them, and pulls it off to examine it. It is a belt with a simple dagger sheathed on it. The dagger holds no particular beauty to it - it is, more or less, merely a handle, a cross guard, and a plain iron blade. She sticks the blade back into the sheath and tosses the whole belt over to your feet.

"You should take that," she says, pointing to it. "If anything attacks, use it. Aim for things like eyes or the stomach, or if they're armored, the joints." You pick up the belt and obediently put it on, experiencing a minor boost in your courage simply thanks to being armed. The fact that you have no experience fighting or even using a knife for everyday activities slips your mind. The nymph goes back to searching and repositioning the corpses, and after a little while, she has cleared enough space for both of you to sleep comfortably in the chamber, even if there's bodies everywhere. She also finds a bundle of half-prepared torches (only lacking the oil on the cloth) as well as a few flasks of lantern oil, and sets all of it aside for later.
