Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shayuri" data-source="post: 6219944" data-attributes="member: 4936">Shayuri was roused from her dozing by the sound of a gruff voice casting a spell. Her heart clenched in sudden panic. She had only been intending to pretend to sleep, and now he was getting ready to kill her, or worse!Her eyes flew open, and she renewed her struggles with the rope binding her wrists, just in time to see the flash of colored light across the chamber. The fear speeding her heartbeat was replaced by something new; hope.She was a tallish woman of slim build and exotic, dark-skinned features, though it would be hard to see details in the distance, and in her current half-curled posture. Her dress and robe had probably been rather pretty once, if not especially ornate, but the dirt and moisture of the caves and tunnels hadn't been kind to the fabric at all and it was now drab and discolored. Her eyes glittered in the firelight like jewels...their color hard to discern in the orange-yellow illumination, but clearly a very light, bright shade of something.For her part, Shayuri had been waiting for an opening. Since coming to her senses after the city groaned and rocked, and cracked open...and she had fallen through a crevice, bouncing down ever steeper slopes until blacking out in the pitch black...she had been a prisoner of this mad dwarf. Awoken already bound, and swiftly gagged when she tried to cast a spell, Shayuri realized he was a magician as well, and stronger than she, very quickly. So she'd waited to see what he wanted with her. Waited for a miracle.Now that miracle was here.With the dwarf's attention diverted, she could act. Oh, she couldn't cast spells...but spells were not the only weapon in Shayuri's arsenal. With her teeth gritting a little from the effort, she clenched the muscles in her hands without making fists...and her hands changed. Skin beaded into bright silver scales, and her fingers thickened and lengthened a little, and claws curved out from their tips. The position was still very awkward to work from, but she grimaced and squirmed and started trying to hook those talons into the ropes around her wrists to rip and saw through them.(OOC - Not sure what you need for this. Attack roll? Dex roll? Skill? Just roll damage? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Let me know.)</blockquote>
