The string of fate has a way to bring those from different pathways of life together. With each smile and each tear, their souls are bound together by these strings. Their reason for being brought together is still unknown, but they will learn to grow within each other's company overtime as they will be pulled to their purpose.
The heroes were thrown within the jail cell below the city. Held in a state of captivity for various reasons, their actions and past creeping up on them bringing them to their own arrest.
Tarm, a peculiar construct with a bond to magic. Kaspian, an individual with their own aura of magic potential within them. Zale, a triton with a unique flare who is eager to get out. Vollius, a dhampir with a rather strange charm. Aurelian, who may have some tricks up their sleeve yet to be seen. Lastly, Ji-U is a person who can’t wait to leave and get their hands on a drink and this madness. Fate works in mysterious ways in bringing these individuals together.
The group was provided with a meal to share amongst themselves, although not a fine dining experience. A few refused to eat the stale bread as their group converses on ways to get out of the cell. Attempts were made to persuade the guard who stood watch over them, but all attempts were proven futile. His key firmly remained at his hip with no one able to get their hands on it nor able to convince him to use it.
However, they were not alone in this cell. In a corner was a man who was asleep from the injuries he had sustained. From his bag ran is rat familiar Casper. While in the hands of Tarm, the rat began to trust him which in return gained the trust of “Ratman”. Once awake, he too was included in the discussions on how to get out with an agreement that drinks would be repaid to him for his assistance.
Using his pet familiar, Ratman was able to discover that their belongings were in a chest within the armory. While the rat was investigating, Vollius decided to work his moves on the guard. In a rather interesting matter of a more natural state if you would. The guard was beginning to become fed up with the antics of Vollius and the rest of the group, returning to the main quarters for a bit of a break from them.
This break allowed the group to test their strength and skills by removing the bars between the two cells that prevented Vollius from being with the others, and eventually for all of them to escape. As the group traversed into the main dungeon, they were able to reequip their belongings from the evidence chest. Their belongings were not the only thing that was found either. The now deceased guard was found lying on the ground with a necrotic disease spreading across his body. Ratman tried to assure the group that there was nothing to worry about it and that the rat handled things well.
They continue to move forward from the dungeon to find a way out to experience their freedom once more. I am eager to see what lies ahead for them.
