Take the treasure, or to not take the treasure?

As you can see, I was with Jason as he was making his decision. He is attempting a perfect game, so technically, he 'should' take the treasure. But I was little angel on his shoulder telling him to protect the birds.

Mercifully, he chose not to. You can see me trying to coax him into saving them through the chat log. It was a pretty tense moment.

But what did you guys choose? Were you merciful, or a heartless bastard?
