Prologue: arrival

Each of you wake up inside a 5 ft cube wooden box with dim light coming from roof. You feel terrible (poisoned condition) and have a feeling that your box is moving up slowly. You can't remember how you get here. You can't actually remember anything, but your name. Box suddenly stop moving and in a while you hear a voice
Do not be afraid! We mean no harm. We will help you. Please keep yourself to and opposite wall and they break the box quickly - you see workers of different races with sledgehammers and other tools giving way to an old human lady.
Welcome to the Maze. My name is Lilly. Do you remember your name?

Phoenix let’s out a rattling cough. Everything feels wrong. His head feels like someone stomped on it, his breathing is a bit labored. The bandages grip his neck and chest far too tightly.
…Bandages?
Phoenix takes a second to examine himself, finding bandages wrapped around the majority of his exposed flesh, even his face covered save for his long red hair.
Am I injured? I can’t remember.
He finally collects himself enough to answer. "I… What? Maze?"

Lilly answer to each of you using different words, but the message is the same:
You need to take rest as night is approaching and you must be feeling just as terrible as anyone who is summoned to this place.
There is a chest on top of your box with your belongings (starting gear per your class/background), we will help to get the chest to your tent.
Now about the Maze. We have 3 teams of maze runners. Well we had 3 teams. One team did not return today.
She believes it to be the reason why you arrived. You will make a new team to replace the one that is gone.
Maze runners run the maze to bring us food and some weapons to themselves. But you should better ask details to the other two teams tomorrow morning.

What...where am I...how did I get here... Stay away from me! I'm Dangerous! Don't come near me

Elrond scurrys away from the others. Terrified about his new surroundings

How did I get here Elrond thinks to himself, The last thing I remember I was in the woods hunting..and then...

A sharp pain moves through Elrond's muscles as he feels the poison move through his veins

This can't be real

Elrond reaches for his trusty daggers that are always in his belt and...gone...his quarter staff too. He looks around for any available weapons as he continues to crawl backwards away from the group of people.

Elrond, Lilly, seeing your reaction suggest to show you your tent when you could rest alone. Or you can just take your time and find the tent with number 78 on it.
There is fresh water and some food in the tent ready for you, we will get you some of your belongings tomorrow morning. you don't hear that but she say - it will be better for everyone if he stays unarmed tonight.

Anguis - just for fun, do me an Sleight Of Hand check with disadvantage (because you feel so dizzy) DC 10. Let's see how he manages to get the chest from the top of the box that is partially broken.

Gnellson, if you wish you could explain me your action in more details, but for now I assume you did what the book propose as example of insight, so
While listening to the Lilly Bellow is is trying to gain clues from body language, speech habits, and changes in mannerisms. Although mannerism do not change it is very easy to to realise Lilly is trying to persuade you to follow here to the tents and have a good sleep. And since it was so easy to read, every other character who did listen to her realise the same: no check required!
Now everyone who wish could make persuasion skill check with DC Lilly persuasion. You do it with disadvantage due to your poisoned condition. If you pass you will be able to recognise some patterns in her persuasion method/implementation

Forgot to mention - you do not have your rations and your waterskin is empty. But there is fresh water and bread in your tents.
We will not be keeping track of food and water in this scenario.
It is up to you if the items in your chest are generic and if they remind you of anything from your past.
But you certainly remember how to use any weapon, armour, spell casting focus, etc. - the moment you touch it, granted you are proficient with it.

You wake up next morning, each of you in your won tent, feeling well (poison condition is gone). Your memories still struggle to find their way into your brain. Subconsciously you remember all of your lvl1-3 abilities and how to use them. You partially remember evens from your past that happened before you became adventurer (you background), but you still struggle to to remember how did you learn your class features.

Nevertheless you feel thirsty. As you reach pitcher refilled (you did drink some of it last nigh) with clean water, it emits a recorded message:
Meet me at the watch tower. Take your equipment. Hurry.
If you let pitcher go and touch it again message repeats.All of your equipment in in the tent. You also see some bread and a boiled egg for breakfast.
If you check outside tent it is early sunny morning. You see a watchtower - it is taller that the tents and could be seen from afar. You also see various humanoids seldom going at different directions that mostly look lie workers or peasants.

Totally forgot - Bellow if you want to could still do persuasion check.
