Small bodies, with pale skin, large dark eyes and grey robes, you judged them to be harmless. Thinking back on the experience now you should have recognized the signs. First, they spoke without any movement of they?re mouths, and as they asked their questions not once did you refuse to answer, even when the questions became personal. When they, at last, were done they told you to go to sleep, and you merely curled up next to your campfire and fell unconscious, without protest.Upon your next awakening, you feared that you had fallen into some kind of nightmare. You were striped naked and clamped to cold metal table. Paralyzed and unable to speak, you could only watch, horrified, as the small pale men poked and probed your body. They were eerily silent throughout the ordeal. They seemed to communicate, perhaps with their mind-speak, as they used to speak with you before. One after another of strange devices, obviously magical, would be directed at you, some caused you pain others pleasure. Either way you were completely helpless. When it seemed they were finished with you, out of the ceiling, beyond the blinding lights, tentacles of some strange material snaked down to pierce you in various spots. One even forced its way down your throat, causing you to gag, and then clamped itself to your face. Next you were levitated off the table and placed into a large glass cylinder. You could see where you were now, some laboratory like that of some mad sorcerer. Along side the pale ones worked some horrific constructions, half flesh and bone, the other half metal. Dozens of cylinders like the one you were being moved into lined the room. Most were occupied by all manner of creatures, some were of familiar races, but most were not. Each creature floated in a bath of green-tinged liquid. A few were mutilated, with metal replacing missing parts, and you hoped a similar fate didn?t await you. As the cylinder you were place in began to fill with same liquid you began to panic. It felt horribly warm and viscous. It slowly rose over your body then head and you thought you were going to drown but the tentacle attached to your face forced air into your lungs helping you to breathe. You screamed in a silent rage as your body refused to respond to your frantic commands for action. Even though you made no sound the pale ones about the room seemed to wince. One of them came to your glass prison and you could hear its mind-speak once again. ?Sleep now, conserve your energy. You well need it.? The voice was cold and emotionless filled with no hint of remorse or guilt about its actions, yet you still couldn?t resist it?s commands and soon fell unconscious once again.When next you wake you find yourself in a forest. Strange blue-leafed trees frame the evening sky; the stars shinning above you are unfamiliar. They are joined by four moons of various shades and sizes. You feel heavier here. And as you roll over on to your stomach you see that several others are here with you, they too seem to be just awakening. [DM: Time to introduce yourselves and explore your environment.The characters are laid out in a forest clearing about 50 feet across. A steam trickles by to your north. Forest surrounds you in all directions. The strangest thing you notice is no sounds of animal life can be heard. There are three humans, an elf, a winged-man, and a large humanoid dragon in the clearing. You also notice that all your equipment has been returned to you. ]</blockquote>
