Well, I guess it's up to us to determine what happens with that game. Either, I, the judge will take over, or the game will die. It is your choice, although I would have to search my archives for his outline.
As a player in 'Protection', as the adventure hasn't even started, I'd rather just return to the Tavern to await new employment. Well truthfully, I'd rather the GM show up again... but that seems to be a long shot...
I agree with Dirk. Since the adventure hasn't started, we should just return to the tavern. However, if the GM should return, then I would be willing to try the adventure: Protection.
