[QUOTE="Vox Fini, post: 4747169, member: 82895"] [B]Varon - Human Diviner [/B][I]How could it come to this?[/I] Captivity has been very hard on the young man. Too like being trapped beneath that heavy cloth, stifling heat, stale air in his nostrils. Here, he can at least move, but the other occupants of the cell frighten him almost as much as the impending execution. The maddening toll of the bell is a torture in and of itself, a harsh tonal note that grates on the nerves, rattles the mind. It's constant clanging makes a mental escape from this horror as impossible as a physical escape from the cell. Much of the gnome's ranting has been filtered out, an attempt to preserve some clarity and sanity in this place, but words like "freedom" are a red flag to the subconscious and conscious mind alike in a place like this. A moment's concentration to sort out what had been said over the last minute or two, and suddenly the mental/physical analogy seems poorly chosen. Could escape truly be possible? An unhinged mind would surely dream that such was possible, [I]is my mind now as unhinged as his?[/I], but there did seem to be some method in his madness. His voice is little more than a croak when he tries to speak the first time, and it is lost amidst the sound and the fury of the minotaur tearing at the gate. He clears his throat roughly and tries again: "What is the shadow below, gnome? How can it get us the key? We have precious little time left, you must focus, tell us what needs to be done." By the end of his final sentence, the desperation in his voice is evident, almost choking him, making the last words difficult. OOC: With ten+ characters, remembering who people are based on their username is going to be painful. Any chance we could have name and class at the start of each post? [/QUOTE]
