Success

You run him through the heart!

Once he's recovered, he gives you a deep bow. "Payment as agreed," he hisses. He hands you a satchel and limps off.

He's too much for you. He stabs you twice through the lungs and saunters off, trying - and failing - to whistle through withered lips. And the swine didn't even pay you!
