Silence descended over the room for a few minutes before the man speaks. “Well, this conversation appears to be over. Very well then. I will find out what I want, the only question is a matter of when.” He takes a final sip from his goblet and stands. He briskly picks up the lantern that lights the room and walks to his right. The light shed from the lantern reveals a door you could not see before. He looks back at you one last time and then walks out the door, leaving you in darkness.

You quickly lose track of time without the passing of the sun to judge time. Your imprisonment seems like an eternity however. You are fed look after your bellies rumble for food and then it is only a watery gruel and moldy bread. Your life consists of sleep and visits from the man you first talked to. He visits you often and you grow to dread his visits quickly, for they are never pleasant. You quickly learn that the door across from your cells leads to an “interrogation” room filled with every torture device you can imagine.

Your torturer knows his trait well. He seems to possess an innate healing powers, an ability that allows him to perform otherwise deadly forms of torture upon you and then heal you to the point of survival. His favorite method of torture is to cut open your belly slowly and the pick around at your insides and even lifting them out of you to show you what he is looking it. Another favorite is to very slowly push a heated metal blade through sensitive areas of flesh, especially in areas where you can watch the blade entering your body. His methods though are hardly limited to those, ranging from scraping away all the skin on your body to placing hot coals on your chest.

Of course he asks you questions while he mutilates your body. You quickly learn your answers, whether they are the truth or outlandish lies, do not matter. The interrogation continues regardless of what you say, with your torturer never showing any mercy or remorse for the pain he inflicts upon you.

One day while your Halfing companion is being tortured, his screams are suddenly cut short. A few minutes pass and then the door swings open. Two soldiers carry between the something small in a ragged sack. They walk quickly through the room and out the other door to your right. Your interrogator walks out quickly behind them. He looks at you as he leaves, his expression dark but uncaring. That is the last time you ever see or hear of the Halfling again.

Time passes slowly and the interrogations continue. They grow worse with time as your interrogator begins to use more extreme methods to get you to talk, pushing your body and your sanity to the edge. There is no hope for you it seems. You come to the conclusion that you will soon join your Halfing companion someday when your torturer pushes your body too far.

All hope seems lost, until now.

You wake to a loud booming near you. It shakes your cell and the very foundations of the building. Even through the thick stone wall you can hear much commotion outside the room. The door to your right burst open and three soldier run in. They are dressed in heavy hide armor with shields and scimitars drawn. One of the soldiers barks an order and point to the other two then quickly leaves, slamming the door behind him. The booming is heard once again and the ground shakes. The soldiers seem very unsettled. They cannot seem to stand still and their eyes dart around the room quickly, though there is not much to draw their attention. Silence settles in the room once again and then another thunderous boom shakes the room. What seems like fifteen minutes passes, the booming returning at regular intervals throughout. The soldiers are silent the entire time. If any of you speak the soldiers angrily yell at you, pointing their swords in your direction.

Suddenly there is an explosion on the left wall. The force of the explosion throws you all back. Large chunks of stone slam into prison bars with incredible force. The two soldiers are thrown against the wall opposite your cells like rag dolls. Dalian, your cell is closest to the wall. The explosion rips a large chunk out of one of your wall blows the barred door that contains you off its hinges. Ralak, your cell is closest to Dalian’s. The explosion severely damages the bars of your cage but does not immediately free you. With some strength you figure you can bust open the door, but it wall take time. Lias, unfortunately your cell is furthest from the explosion and does not suffer much damage. Some of your bars were bent by some of the larger pieces of rock slamming into it, but the door still remains quite strong. You doubt you will be able to break out through brute strength, though you may be able to squeeze in between the bent bars with some luck. One of the soldiers lays still, his body at a weird angle. The other is moving a bit and groaning. There are plenty of rocks large enough to be used as a makeshift bashing weapon scattered about the ground. You also know there are a multitude of weapons and sharp objects in the interrogation room.

OOC: We are now considered in combat.
Initiative: Dalian 17+2=19
Ralak 8+3=11
Lias 6+1=7

Dalian takes 4 points of Vitality damage from exploding rocks. He is down to 6 Vitality Points.

It is Dalian’s turn.
