short battle
Irene steps back and sends a cascade of scintilating light flashing into the half orcs. One stumbles and falls. The other presses on, but Irene knows no more, as a sharp pain stabs into her back, and her world grows dark....
Later, you open your eyes, and can see nothing, as a cloth blinds them. You smell dust and rotting wood. Rope bites into the skin of your wrists and ankles when you attempt to stand.
"You're awake," a strong woman's voice pierces the quiet. "Good, I'm tired of waiting for ya." It is Jezibel's voice. "I been tired of you all for the longest time. You killed mah road crew, and I ain't lookin' forward to getting new boys."
"You wuz nice enough to let me stay with ya. Like I wuz somebody's sister. Pertectin' me so 's I can be thinking long and hard about ow I would be killin' ya. I'll enjoy it. You won't."
"But I'll let ya sweat a bit first. Me an my city crew have got some work to do. I gotta take care of Tensil first. With him gone, a lot of folks are going to be hurtin'. Who else can move contraband like him? Course, I don' care about that, cause Tensil and his friends would like to see me tied up just like you is, and worse."
"But I'll stop yappin' and get on with my bizness. Then I can come back and entertain you. Bye bye!"
You then hear the sound of padded feet echo in the room. Then all is quiet.

Irene struggles futily in the tight ropes. She realizes she must be careful not to overexert herself, as she could open the knifewound in her back.
Irene is at 0 hps. I am sorry to make you wait, but the other group probably won't rescue you just yet. I'm giving you a heads up. They will continue to look for you, I'm sure.
On another note, I know your other PC, Rogier, is dead in the water in the retrieval of Fallon's key. I've pulled Iggy out of that & sent him back to the Inn where's he's now picked up another adventure. I think you should feel free to do that w/Rogier. I hate to see both your PCs tied up. I'll try to get Irene going again ASAP.

Well, Irene won't go far, so I guess I'll dig up ol' Rogier then. Don't hurry, if Irene can't escape, she can't. Simple as that & part of the game =] I'll keep reading in the other thread to see if they make any progress, just give me a note there if/when Irene can continue.

venus
Venus struggles with her ropes. She realizes she needs to be careful not to reopen her knife wound.
Venus is still at 0 hps.
She doesn't know how long it takes, or how long she'd been unconscious before, but she's finally able to get one hand out. From there, she is able to slip the ropes completely off her. Pulling off her blindfold, she finds herself in a small room. It has a cot, a chest of drawers, and an open closet and a closed door. It is a mess, with clothes, rope, food and supplies scattered about. The sun shines in through the window. It appears to be late afternoon.
She checks her pockets. Most of her items are scattered on the floor around here. Nothing seems missing. She repacks her pockets and backpacks and wonderes what to do next, when she hears footsteps and voices coming towards the door.
