[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 3004137, member: 2002"] (additional Postscript) Along the walk north, the former captives seek out members of the party to discuss their captivity. A man named Marek was held the longest, just over two months. He was captured with two others while out gathering mushrooms and roots, a victim of Janx and his Wand of Sleep. When he was first brought to the "prison", there were four others there, one of whom claimed to be the 'last survivor' of the Hillpepper tribe to the south. That person told of most of their small tribe being captured at once and brought here, with Janx claiming to have killed the rest of the tribe. Two days before the full moon after Marek was brought there, a man named Quentin came, accompanied by a woman named Yarrow and several Kobolds. Six Human prisoners and twelve Kobolds were taken away, drugged and tied. Quentin and the woman spoke in the Kobold tongue except to each other. They mentioned something about a sacrifice and a ritual forge. Also something about "the Wheel", which seemed very important to the Kobolds. This left Marek all alone, but not for long. Within days, several more members of the Burberry tribe were brought in, captured in different areas, some by Janx, some by Quentin, some by the Kobolds themselves. Marek notes that Janx was particularly cruel with his captives. He gives you a look as he says this, but refuses to explain further. Just before the last full moon, Quentin and the woman returned. This time, three Humans and 24 kobolds were taken. And once again, groups of Burberry people were brought in to replace them. The only thing that changed was that none of them were captured by Janx. Some of the new captives tried to stop eating the jeppit root laced stew that they had been fed to keep them quiet. One of the recent captives, a young woman named Isa, began screaming and carrying on, trying to annoy the Kobolds and keep them from sleeping. The Kobolds responded by using spells on the lot of them. Then they dragged Isa from the cell, force-fed her a large amount of jeppit root...and slowly and carefully cut her to pieces in front of the rest of them. They were particularly cruel about it, starting with her arms and legs and using their magic to keep her alive as long as they could. Then they put chunks of her into the cooking pot and tried to feed her to the captives. For three days they mocked the prisoners and continued to try feeding "Isa Stew" to them, until finally, the Kobold in red put a stop to it. From that point on, none of the captives tried to refuse the jeppit root. They didn't want to think, to feel, to remember what had happened to Isa. Or think about what was going to happen to them. Marek wants nothing more than to get as far away from the Kobolds as possible. He says that if he doesn't think the tribe has gone far enough, that he'll keep going and find another tribe to join. Or maybe keep going all the way to Gyretown. [/QUOTE]
