This weeks question is a classic FH scenario where you choose what YOU would say.
Your character and all of his friends are trapped in the underworld, and the only way out is to make a deal with Death. Death will only make a single offer of trade for you and your friend's freedom.
The old druid looks at Death and then turns to his comrades of the Redwind…
“How dare you try to tempt one as I? Death and Life are forever intertwined, just as I am to these brave men and women of the Redwind. I will not strike a bargain with you for I am a believer in the Light. The Circle of the Sun will forever serve Life. This time, Life shall triumph over Death, no petty bargains needed. There is strength and power in the hearts of many, and I stand firm with these men and women with which I have loyally served. We shall find our own way home, without your temptation. The All-Seeing Sun smiles down upon me and my crew. This is all the solace I need.”

"Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the most vulnerable people in society. It is a goal and an essential part of my life - a kind of destiny. Whoever is in distress can call on me. I will come running wherever they are."
Morgause scans her party with compassionate yet confident eyes. She sees the rest of her Valkin’vi kin. She recognizes their destiny and boldly steps before Death.
“I have seen the future and I will not be dying this day, creature. With or without your help we will leave your realm. But if a bargain is what you seek, then let me propose this. It will save all of us needless time and trouble… for believe you me, it is foolhardy to reckon with us Children of the An’irri. Set us free, without any recompense, and I guarantee that my kin and I will bring you many souls. It has been prophesied that in my search for a new Mistrialla we will fell many a foe in our quest for freedom and a homeland to call our own. This is a bargain that you cannot refuse!”
"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars."

"Bottle of rum. Cheapest kind," he smiles, remembering flickers from last year.. Last month?
Or had it been yesterday? His smile fades as he recalls hazy memories of the void in which he had languished for so long, alone and despairing. Only one thing had pulled him out of that.
