- You have heard me, human! – proclaimed the dying Krabber— You have heard me!
- I hear you— I agreed— So what do you want from us, my enemy?
- Find our god! Find the great Digratsy and return him to us! – the Krabber gasped, his claw furiously snapping half a meter from my foot— If you do, the Krabbers will never again disturb the peace of the great cities! And to all of you who help us find god, you will be paid tribute! You will be given gifts worthy of the great leaders! But!— the Krabber jerked and extricated from himself his second arm, which was so similar to humans. In his fingers was clamped a small part of something red, looking most like a petrified plant with a bright pulsating spark inside— But! If you refuse! If you trick us! Then your bog creatures will die! Just give up, and tomorrow there will begin a large scale invasion of the dungeons under each city! We will find every hole with a shivering bog creature! We will destroy each of the smelly bog lords who dared reject the God Digratsy and are now in our way of finding him! We will look for them everywhere! This is not an offer, human! This is an ultimatum! Do you hear me?! THIS IS AN ULTIMATUM FOR ALL OF YOU! To all who stand in our way! Although… these trembling bog swine… they can crawl back into their holes and wait for the end! And the end will come quickly because we, the Krabbers, will not wait for long!
Attention!
An extremely important situation!
You are given an Ultimatum!
Requirements: “Find Digratsy.”
Find the mad god Digratsy, patron of the Krabbers, wandering somewhere in the expanses of Valdira, after which you must capture and return it to the Krabbers, or show them the exact location!
Time to perform the Ultimatum: Five days!
Failure to complete the ultimatum within specified times results in: Selected Krabber troops invade bog creature habitats and begin their systemic and deliberate destruction!
Meeting the ultimatum results in: Krabbers no longer disturb inhabitants of any of the great cities of underground Valdira. Plus honors and gifts worthy of senior leaders.
In the case of immediate rejection of the ultimatum: Selected Krabber troops invade the bog creature habitats and begin their systemic and deliberate destruction! You and each of the current member of your group (and those who were in its structure in the past hour) will be Krabber enemies forever!
You are the leader. The decision is entrusted to you.
Do you accept the ultimatum?
Yes / No
- I’m waiting for an answer, human! Will you retrieve our god?!
- For a dead man you sure are talkative! – I muttered, barely able to restrain myself from kicking him— Kirea! You should have killed him sooner!
- Who knew— breathed Kira— Damn… Ros, take the job! After all if we don’t, the Krabbers will destroy all of the creatures’ habitats! Take the job! He has something like a transmitter in his hand! It is associated with other Krabbers!
- Right! Now they can hear every word! – maliciously croaked the elder— All of them! And they are waiting for your answer! Come on, human! We didn’t call you! We didn’t ask you do stick your nose into our business! You came yourself! So decide! What is your answer? Will you rise to the protection of the worthless bog creatures, or let them die? You have time to make a decision, but hurry, my life is running out. And with me is extinguished the hopes of your favorite creatures… Decide!
Before my eyes a red lit timer began to decrease:
00:10, 00:09, 00:08…
- Ros! Take the job! – cried Kirea.
- And don’t you think we should ask the rest? – I growled angrily, nodding to the comrades— It actually concerns all of us! This “present” hangs on all our heads!
- It’s an ultimatum! What is there to think about?! No matter what we choose, it’s all the same problem! Ros! Agree!
00:04, 00:04, 00:02
- Time is up! Choose, human! The bog creatures’ fate is in your hands! Do they live or die in agony?
