2. Regarding the basement? I can quickly come up with some ideas:
1. Back down at any moment.
2. Let the white one go, betray everyone else, and report on the success.
3. Attack the bald one, get beaten up, and retreat/flee on the white one.
4. Negotiate with the bald one, lead him to the mayor, and redirect the cleanup to the appropriate soldiers.
5. Blow up the basement and bury everyone alive.
