Well my foresight was good but it sucks to be right about this... Looks like strategy is going to have to be pushed to the limit here. Options. 1) Escape. Seems unlikely but perhaps a way can be found. 2) Hide. With a cat in a house mice can survive by burrowing in the walls. Laying low. 3) Substitute. Perhaps we can offer a service of higher worth. What if we lured in food? Would get more food overall by sparing us. Or perhaps we could make a mutually beneficial deal. 4) Stall. We have the Scheherazade gambit out of 1001 arabian nights. Or other stalling. We'd be good pets? 5) Outfox. Perhaps we are unfit meals. Give us predation and let us loose so we may fatten up (with the goal of either gaining enough power to defeat this thing, poisoning ourselves, or just being forever unfit as food). 6) Join up? Perhaps we have greater value as cult members? 7) Seek outside help by praying. Surely this entity has enemies we can seek the aid of. 8) Fight hard. Gives us a better chance than just letting this happen to us. Wolves, velociraptors, whatever example you like, get larger prey by using numbers. Predators that underestimate their prey can find themselves dead. 9) Since it's implied we live even if we lose, perhaps destroy them from the inside. We only have to win once.

At this point it can't hurt to try and talk to this guy

A) Drop the knife, shake the hand.

B) Hold on to the knife, refuse to shake the king's hand.

What if we put the ring on his finger?

hand him the knife

Fist bump him

Give up the best means of defense on hand? How about no.

A) Pray for help.

B) Get ready for a fight.

B) No gods or kings, only this knife we have

Well it does no harm to ask for help. Pointy guy can you send us to that place with those fascinating creatures?

B. We got a knife

Oh yeah, and we also got worms too

If we will fight a God might as well ask for help from some of them, what do we have to lose

A) You can do jack

B) Or shit

Lets feed the poor hungry monster our worms

I mean, it can't eat us without eating the worms on us too anyways, and we saw what one did to a crow when we fed a worm to the crow, so... what would multiple worms do to it? yeah, methinks we'll be fine

It can't catch all of us. Scatter!

Well if I'm going down I'm going down fighting. Screw how ineffective it is. Should we die it's mostly been an honor people. On the offchance we get swallowed whole don't lose the knife. Soft innards should slice up so nicely for us.

Well we're screwed, game over man game over!

A) Go into the store.

B) End your own existence.

A. we came all this way here, might as well. Unfortunately, we didn't bring anything, so all we can do is window shop.

Hand lost so knife lost as well. WELP. So much for sliced up innards. We still have the spikes but the shop seems less risky overall. Other options are backup plans. Let's see what sort of deals he's set up.

A) in we go

So that is what was the meaning of the rat king painting was, we are tied up. Well we were, that was our worm's job. As for the shop go into it, let's meet the merchant

Yeah, I think the pic said we were also supposed to tie the hand up with the worms too, and stab ourselves with 4 other knives. We didn't do that, as we only had one knife. ah well, it was way too vague to figure out , and we didn't even know the worms can tie us up like that.

A) Show what you have in store.

B) Show what your real face looks like.

A) and how will that work?

A

And which "story" are you talking about? there are multiple "stories" we are following, some which might need more of a second chance than others

Does the Sun Scorching Savior Solder name sound familiar to you? As for your mask, what does it hide? Who are you?

Here's an interesting question I wanna ask you, Mr. Death Seeder,

so our whole existence's purpose is to follow the story of a person, but that would also mean that it was also the will of that storyteller to also meet with you here to decide whether or not to take your offer for a second chance to avoid a bad ending, correct?

A) Shop encounter.

Let me guess. Given that this is tied to the Abdle/Bobbie quest specifically one person fits the bill. Wormworks. So what deals do you have? What's the prices?

Leaning to B

A) So did we time travel?

B) Did you always live in this worm?

Do you have control over time and why are you getting more and more hands?

but why did they make us forget?

Fascinating. Well if it's true. So this is a worm deity thing. Does wormworks have a connection to this thing? Or you since you have all this knowledge?

B) Are you also his victim?

Yes, you are Sun Scorching Savior Soldier

I don't even know who I am anymore

Are you somebody who we know?

Well you look like the mask we just got though that has a chance to be a coincidence.

Tomorrow you will see the scoreboard of how things played out during this event.

The king didn't want a ring that can bring the dead back to life for a couple days? intriguing. Though to explain the reason why I suggested doing that was also partly a test to see if he would be brought back to life since he kinda looked skeletal, which I assumed meant he was deadish. So bringing him back to life for a couple of days would have made things interesting.

Silver lining, maybe it was a good thing we didn't keep the ring and instead leave it behind as that would mean our sun son would have had the ring, considering he took our knife with him

Also, I'm calling Sun Scorching Savior Soldier: Sun Son cause that sounds cute.

I'm not sure getting a way to cheat death, but also a crazy new enemy, is really worth it.

I liked it, but I only fear that the side questions don't take over the importance of the main quest
