The Halfman

event Captain's Cabin · Events (all zones)

You enter Halfman's cabin. He is standing with his back to you, gazing through the large window of his room. The captain seems to ignore your presence, giving you a potential chance to make the first move. The room has some debris, but it is in better condition than your expected. None of it impedes your path to Halfman, and you are confident you can reach him before he has time to react. What will be your next move?
