Chapter 1: The Prophesy

You've been sentenced to prison. Perhaps you're guilty, perhaps not. All that matters is you are here now. If you're a magic user, a collar has been placed around your neck, preventing your powers from being used. Your stuff had been taken, all that you have now is a simple tunic and a pair of pants: no shoes, no armor, and no weapons. You are escorted to a single cell, the bars three inches apart. There are no windows.

The first three months come and go. You are weak, 2 sparse meals a day in your cell does little for your strength. You notice the guards, primarily half orcs and orcs patrolling the halls. Occasionally you hear the cries of other prisoners.

After 3 months, things begin changing. The cries from prisoners become fewer, meals scarcer, and the guards are now drow and duergar. You are each taken to a room one day, manacled to a metal table. a female drow comes in followed by a figure in a hood that you can't make out. The drow looks at you, then to the hooded figure. You are then returned to your cell. The whole exchange lasts less than a minute.

One day, a few days later, you hear commotion in the halls. Suddenly, everything goes eerily dark. You can't even see your hands in front of your face. Within a minute, the darkness disappears. Your cells are open, your magic inhibiting collars removed and each of you has a few items laying on your bed.

Darastrix- on your bed lies a necklace of holly and a scimitar.

Corelief - Studded leather armor and a dagger

Baenroth - your spellbook and an orb

Lilcyra - a light crossbow with 20 bolts and crystal

As you exit your cells, you see the halls strewn with dead guards and each other, exiting the cells.

What do you do?

It seems as though something very sharp has just destroyed the guard, putting several gold piece size holes through the armor of each of them. The armor looks unusable.

Looking at the holes, they’re not from and javelin or spear you’ve seen, in fact the shape would suggest a dagger, but you’ve never seen a dagger do this much damage.

As you scan the bodies, weapons seem to be lacking. Now that you think of it, the only guards you ever saw with weapons were the ones that escorted you to the other room.

There is a door to the east and the west. The bodies would suggest someone killed everyone moving toward the east door.

You approach the west door, stepping over bodies along the way. The door is a solid wood and seems intact.
