You stayed in the basement of the Strand for about three days and finally managed to free yourself from the ropes. You were able to find the right weapon. At the right moment, you managed to hit Stride on the head and knock him out.

Just a short while later, he was already sitting with his hands tied. Now you can do whatever you want, even kill him, because the whole Stride and its tools are at your disposal.

Little by little Stride regained consciousness. He was too angry when he fully regained consciousness and realized that you had tied him up.
