10001 ways to kill Sally, part the sixth
Sally: Whew, that was a close one! At least I got the seer!
Shirriff : Where do you think you're going, Silly?
Sally : I'm going to go put this Morgul Blade in my safe-deposit box.
Shirriff : Oh really? I know a really safe locker you could put it in...
Davey Jones' Locker!!! Hand over your sword.
Sally : Uh-oh.
The scene shifts with both of them on the walkway in the middle of the
village. A large rock is tied down with a rope to Sally's feet, as it appears
that the shirriff wants to drown her in the sea.
Shirriff : This is the end of the road, my little robed pal. Your
troublemaking days in Bree™ are over. My plans for the
Mayor are far too important... ...and much too near
completion... ...to rish letting a would-be Nazgul like you get in
the way. So long, Miss stansusedshipyard, or satonaleopard, or whatever your name is.
The Shirriff kicks the idol down, and Sally is pulled down into the sea.
Shirriff : Hmmm... This might actually turn out to be a pretty good day.
(leaves)
Down the sea, Sally survives thanks to his ability to hold his breath for
10 minutes. However, she is tied with short rope as not to be able to pick up
the pair of scissors, rusty knife, sword, or other dangerous objects nearby her that may be of use to cut off the tie and save herself.
Sally : I can't reach that from here.
After a while, two villagers come and talk to each other on the walkway above
Sally.
Rune : Hey, Nerwen, I just committed a felony!
Nerwen : Did it involve that big knife you've got there?
Rune : Yeah! What should I do with it?
Nerwen : Get rid of it!
Rune : I'll throw it in the water!
Nerwen : No, don't do that!
Rune : Why not? I need to ditch it!
Nerwen : It might wash up somewhere!
Rune : What do I care? MY prints won't be on it! I'm throwing it in!
(a brief pause) ...naaaah. I might need it. See you.
Nerwen : See you.
The two villagers leave. After some quite long while...
Sally : Gee, I don't know how much longer I can hold my breath...
After ten minutes have elapsed, Sally goes blue, then green, and floats (the large, but not too large, rock which she could have picked up at any time, keeping her from reaching the surface). Possible actions include, but are not limited to, "Float," "Bob," "Duck," and "Buy Hint Book."
This is the lesson you've been taught — Guybrush Threepwood you are not. When by water you are surrounded -- Get to shore before you're drownded
