EveryoneAfter a few minutes of following the wall of the chamber in fruitless search of an exit you discover a part of the wall which is weakened, the bricks unevenly spaced and tinny shafts of flickering light leaking between them. Tali shoulders into it and the whole thing crumbles and falls inward, revealing a dim hallway lined with low burning torches ensconced at random intervals. You all glance at one another before stepping through the broken entrance together.
You walk along the hallway for some time, your footsteps echoing before and behind you. The spacing of the torches grows increasingly erratic and soon they're anywhere from four to a dozen metres apart, leaving large pitch black bits of of the passage. As a result the party alternates regularly between walking normally and groping along at a snail's pace in the dark.
Edwin's sharp Elven ears detect something.. out of place.. Just on the edge of hearing. He decides that until he can place it he won't mention it to the others.
Ross senses something, a strange mental tugging sensation, as if a length of string were tied to his mind.
XantalosYou pull your blunderbuss, dropping your rock down the barrel and striding towards the raging demon as it kills men in swathes with great sweeps of his arms. He scoops up a howling orc clawing at his legs and punches his thumb through his chest before flinging him aside. You level your blunderbuss at the demon's knee before calling out.
Oi! Your father was a bigger whore than your mum! The demon turns with a growl and you pull the trigger. His knee explodes in a shower of cursed blood that sizzles as it splashes onto the stone floor and the bare faces of those unfortunate enough to be standing too close.
Firearms skill acquired. Those prisoners that don't fall to the ground screaming as their skin smokes and sloughs away rush the fallen demon, pinning his arms and working leg so that others may tear chunks of flesh from his throat and burst his skull with boulders from the crumbling stone of the walls and floor.
In a few minutes the room is quiet, the bodies of seven dead lesser demons littering the floor, with hundreds of dead men, elves, dwarves and orcs surrounding. Most everyone catches their breath while others seek a way out of this prison.
