East

You walk into what appears to be an empty room. The vines that make up the walls and floor start to move as if woken up. Before you have time to react, the floor has become a pit which you fall into. After you recover your breath, you look around and find Airim, tangled in vines as if tied up. He looks relieved to see you but says “You should not have come here. There is no way out.” Indeed, it seems true, but you look around out of desperation. You find bones, and rotting bodies with slithering vines winding through them. Then you find another person tied up by vines. You immediately recognize his face, though not his expression. It was Korinth, with a look he may have never shown before. He was afraid. You pull out the dagger, lethal to anything with a single touch. “Please,” Korinth says. “I don't want this war anymore. I'm sorry for starting all this. Your king can have my land. Only give me my life.” Do you kill him or free him?
