[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6713563, member: 413"] Humiliated. Demoralized. Dominated. Beaten and shackled and dumped in this fetid pit, separated from your home and family and deposited deep under the earth in a drow slave pen. A fate worse than death that you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy (well...except maybe that one guy)... The cold metal shackles and collar remind you that you are not going anywhere anytime soon. You are not alone. At least a score of other prisoners are here with you in this cave outpost your captors call Velkenvelve. A cruel priestess who the other drow call Mistress Ilvara of House Mizzrym is the apparent leader. Over the past several days you've met her several times, robed in silken garments and flanked by two male dark elves, one of whom has a mass of scars along one side of his face and neck. Mistress Ilvara likes to impress her will with scourge in hand to remind you that your life now belongs to her. "Accept your fate, learn to obey, and you may survive." Her words echo in your memory, even as you plot your escape. [ooc] We will be introducing PCs to the slave pen in small groups. As we do, rather than me narrating the minutiae of what is going on around you, I will give you the basic rhythm of life and some details of some of the NPCs around you. Then you will each be given an opportunity to say what it is you do. You will have to answer the following questions: 1) What do you want to accomplish over the course of the next few days and how do you think you will go about it? 2) Describe some trouble you start, witness or prevent 3) Describe something memorable you attempt to do. Then (after asking you to make any relevant checks) I'll narrate what happens, reveal information you discover about your surroundings and introduce what NPCs you interact with. An example: 1) I am going to begin acquiring whatever tools I can that might be of use in escaping. 2) I witness two fellow prisoners smuggling extra food to try to nurse a sick companion to health and I distract the guards to help them. 3) I make one of the guards laugh at a joke. So, as we get started, think about what it is you might do or how you might help your fellow prisoners in what they are attempting to accomplish. Start small...as you become more familiar with your surroundings, your opportunities will grow... [/ooc] [/QUOTE]
