Poly's forgetting that she's already an A rank. This "deal" is for an A-rank-up test.No offence but a warrior should be able to fight for herself especially in such situation when an alternative to it is to literally and intentionally hurting herself, mind or body alike, hurting Polly and also May feelings with A-B choices.
Warden has a really twisted view of what a warrior is. A warrior fights when he HAS to.
Someone who fights only because he ENJOYS IT is not a warrior, but a sadistic thug.
I really, really didn't expect for Bern to turn into such a weak willed person, I'm disappointed.
The warden's mistaken. Bern certainly wasn't a pacifist when she made those people save her dad...
AND doing exactly that is what got Bern into this mess in the first place, remember?
Eh.. that's not really in the same context. And no it was acting to save her father's life that got her into this situation. Weather she chooses one of their options or refuses them does not change her state from its current predicament.
However, three on one... could be tough but her 'obvious' handicap of one eye could also be turned to an advantage by a willy warrior.
You know your opponents will see your side without sight as a opening. Well~ use that to lure them into coming at you where you are paying the most attention feinting inattentiveness to draw them in and strike at their lowered defenses! It will be hard.. but a very skillful and cunning warrior will find ways to capitalize on the obvious...
That coupled with some unexpected aggressiveness she could down one opponent before her foes realize she has been sandbagging all this time! Remember they ALL think she is weak and timid!
I would Focus on one foe immediately.. {preferrably the one most confident opponent} and striking that one down with unexpected ferocity will surprise them and hopefully stymie the remaining two's cohesiveness as they reassess their target. Use that moment of indecision to hard press the second foe in a VERY Obvious and Aggressive Assault that can be easily defended against. ALL to cover your actual tactic of drawing the third foe in toward your "Weak" side.. and when he takes the bait... DESTROY him also! Then it will be a mostly fair fight of one on one!
If she is fast, aggressive, and cunning she can defeat them before they realize they ARE really facing a dangerous foe!

... At least there's no raping.
But indeed it seems that no one official in this prison is going to act with any forthrightness... best answer/option is to show them your not going to play fool for their sick entertainment!
All the more to add to the story, don't you think? And haven't you forgotten that there's magic everywhere? Magic is...well...magic. Anything could happen in Flipside. Besides, where's all this info you're getting about treaties and the like? Bern and Polly would be criminals in that region, yes, but who's to say they'd be wanted in other regions? Heck, they'd probably be heroes somewhere else for what they did.
I haven't forgotten there's magic everywhere. That's why the Phalanx exists. Crest's home country is the only one that doesn't allow the Phalanx to patrol its territory. If Bern and Poly escape the prison, especially using violence, the country could (and probably would) petition the Phalanx for aid, and they would hunt the both of them regardless of region. If they flee to Crest's home country, the Knights would come after them, and if the Knights can't handle it, they MIGHT let the Phalanx deal with them, so no, they won't be "heroes" anywhere. Brion did post a basic diplomatic overview and the nation-states map at one point.
Point is, fleeing the country won't help much.
Okay, then, what would YOU choose? It's simply not in Bern's nature to do any of these choices given to her, based on what we know. Give me a definitive one you believe she'll take, and stick to it. If you're going to put down my position, then at least defend your option, whichever it is...

You all seem to forget another hidden option: Escape....
And we have the answer. The "catch" is PORN! Bern is going to have to "sell herself" in front of witnesses.
OH how horrid... {hidden lascivious grin}... that's soo evil! {Clattering noise of VCR and DVR being set up to record}!
No... maybe heh.. but I think it might have more to do with killing someone inconvenient who just happens to be in the penal-system with her who the 'powers that be' have asked the Warden to make sure they NEVER survive to pay off their marks... or possible even throwing a fight intentionally so the house can make a killing in the side betting on the matches! Surely you understand gambling is not illegal here and I'm sure there is a healthy market for it here in the land of 'CASH is KING!'
Bern sweating like a pig.
Technically she committed that violent crime to save someone, and even then committed no significant violence, only imposed the threat thereof. But this seems to be the legally sanctioned government's punishment. I myself would argue that this government is likely corrupt enough that it would not be immoral to ignore its laws (aka escape).
...or is it a dream of desire and nothing more?
