You ask Mark if he knows how many Fiends there are.
"Dozens patrol this section of wherever we are, at least. I don't know how large this prison is, or if it is part of an even larger structure. From what I've seen, there could be hundreds of these rotting bastards. And the ones you have seen here so far? They're nothing. They're just the torturers, too unfit to be put into the main guard."
You ask if he knows the layout of the area, to which he replies that he is just as clueless as you are.
You rub your sore bruises a little to help them heal faster, after a brief rest, you put your ear to the door and listen closely, hearing no footsteps. You unlock the door and the two of you glance up and down the hall, and then begin checking the nearest cells for anything useful.
Most contain no life, simply filled with the bones and rotting flesh of murdered prisoners. In the last cell you check, however, you unlock the door and immediately notice a small Gnome sized figure curled up in the corner of the room, facing the wall. It is whimpering and chattering to itself in an unintelligible dialect, seemingly going mad with insanity.
The two of you slowly begin approaching the figure, and half way into the room let out a quiet "Hello?"
To your horror, the creature turns around, the skin on its face rotting, its teeth sharpened to points, and reeking of putrid rot.
"Please... kill me... before I go completely insane like the others..."What would you like to
