You’ve been alone for weeks, moving cautiously through abandoned towns. Supplies are running low. Just when you start to feel hunger and loneliness creeping in, you come across a small group camped in an old church.

Their leader, a tall man named Ross, offers you food and the opportunity to join them. As the days pass, you travel with them, sharing stories and hunting small game. They’re organized, resourceful, even friendly.

But on the second night, everything changes. You wake to the sound of gunshots and terrified shouting. Watching from the trees, you see Ross’s people ambush a small caravan on the road, taking food, weapons, and whatever else they can carry. They spare the travelers' lives but strip them of everything.

Later, Ross shrugs it off. “Better us than someone worse,” he says. “We don’t kill unless we have to. But we take what keeps us alive.”

What do you do?
