Five individuals chained together, by fate as much as by the iron manacles that each wears around his or her right ankle. The clinking of the chain that joins one manacle to the next echoes from the walls of the narrow tunnel as they are driven onwards by a team of ur-man overseers. Suddenly, there is a crack and a rumble. A section of the tunnel crashes inwards, rocks rolling over the ur-man guards. Choking dust rises all around, and when it settles the five slaves find themselves alone in the tunnel, just a single ur-man left standing. It wears the alien leathery armour of the ur-men, and carries a barb-tipped scourge. It seems unconcerned by the ruined bodies of its comrades jutting from the wreckage. [COLOR="Gray"]"Get back to work, zlavez,"[/COLOR] it says in a voice like a knife on a whetstone. [sblock=OOC] Okay, situation is this: You are in a narrow tunnel, single file. Onwards is deeper into the mine - leading first to a large cavern where you were to pick up your tools, then into a network of tunnels leading deeper into the mine. Back, past the ur-man, leads to the main cavern teeming with ur-men and slaves, then ultimately to the surface. The cave-in has not fully blocked the passage. The ur-men crushed beneath it had weapons, but none are obvious. You are all unarmed and unarmoured. You are joined in a line by a chain running from one person to the next, connected by the right ankle. The length of chain is such that you can freely move around adjacent to the next person, but no further (this obviously gets complicted when you are joined on both sides!) The order in which you are chained depends on the order in which you post - first is nearest the ur-man, and so on moving down the line. I will also leave it to you as to how much your characters know about each other. The ur-men rotate work groups, so you may have met before but this is the first time all of you have been in the same group. Good luck!
