"You there," you say to the first guard you encounter, "spread word that I am taking command of the guard from now on. We'll be killing all the infected then burning the bodies so we can start over." The guard moves slowly towards you. "Killing all the infected?" he asks as he draws his sword. "Kill them all? Our families and friends?" He's closing in, but you're frozen in place, unable to move. His blade slides cleanly between your ribs before you can even think of how to react. "Why not just kill the noble who wants to get rid of us?" he concludes.
