Talk Fast. The Clock Is Listening.
The Fugitive claims to have made the Mad Baron’s Bargain.
The offer may be genuine. It may be a bluff.
Your score began at 6,000 points and is still falling by 100 points every minute.
The Hunters can do 2 things:
1. Reject the Bargain
The Bargain has no effect. Take the Fugitive’s lanyard and complete the capture scan. The countdown stops only when that scan is successfully submitted.
2. Accept the Bargain
Capture becomes permanently impossible.
If the Bargain is genuine, the Fugitive’s points return to the team, the countdown stops when you submit this decision, and you can attempt a new 600-point team challenge together.
If the Bargain is fake, the Fugitive keeps their points, the countdown continues secretly until the Point 3b challenge is submitted, and no new team bonus is available.
Question the Fugitive carefully. Then decide.
