The smite was overkill.
Do not break into Brig with a mob. Security are allowed to use lethal force on a mob storming Brig, they could’ve murderer anyone and I wouldn’t care – it’s allowed.
Everything in this situation was in your favour. You were released from a wrongful sentence, given a better shotgun, and let go without a single charge. Yet, you came back for not even revenge. There was nothing to avenge.
If you haven’t learned your lesson, take a few more days to think about it.
Love this idea.
