Talking XP

The final battle against the god of secrets and lies, Vecna, has gone terribly wrong. All members of your party lay slain on the ground except for one. Your partner. The Cleric of the group. However, Finger of  Death will soon be cast on them. Just before this happens, it comes to your turn in the initiative. As the party's Wizard, you held onto your  last spell... Wish.  

In this moment, what would you wish for? To turn back time? To wish that  Vecna never existed? To wish that your party had stayed behind rather than come to a slaughter? So many possibilities...

You imagine yourself on a tropical beach with a nice fruity drink in your hand; the past few weeks have been rough as an adventurer and you need a break. Your party's rogue says he knows just the spot!  

As you arrive at your destination, you find it to be a dwarven enclave... Trusting your rogue, you enter the enclave to find no beach, no fruity drinks, and no sunshine...

You awaken to a chilly breeze and a burlap sack over your head. The jostling of the cart reminds you of your destination. A place for execution... The night before, while at the King's feast, the Rogue and the princess slipped away together; however, the overprotective King found them in the act and decreed that the adventurers must be put to death.  

Upon arriving, you find that you have none of your equipment, and the King yells out, "Kill this one first!" while pointing to your Rogue. With only moments before a party member's death, what do you do?
