Kith glanced up as he heard the marching of guards. The came into view, carring what was supposed to be food. Kith grabbed his and quickly devoured it. It tasted horrible, but at least it was food.

The elf maid looked at the pitiful hunk of bread the guards brought and the lukewarm, dirty water and ignored it. She knew she would be hungry soon enough, but for now would resist being so subjected.

Elendi did not dare touch the food they gave them, but simply watched her new prison partner devour the food brought in on the tray.

"You had better eat" Kith said, not bothering to swollow the food in his mouth. "It gets worse as it gets older." You'll need the sustinence too. He added mentally. But you'll learn. They all do.

Erimak and his men descended down towards the dungeons, either evading or killing the guards they met on the way. Soon they reached the door that would lead to the dungeon, flanked by two dead guards. "You two, guard the entrance, the rest of you, follow me," Erimak whispered as he unlocked the door towards the dungeon. He and three Death Bringers entered in where they found rows and rows of cells, most of them occupied by dead prisoners. "Try finding one cell here that has actually has someone living inside," muttered one of the Death Bringers. They found one, actually three. One of them had an elf maiden while the other two had humans. The Death Bringer who spoke during their search now drew out his bow while Erimak and the other began unlocking the cells.

The elf maiden looked warily at these newcomers, getting slowly to her feet. "Who are you?" she demanded, wrapping long fingers around the metal bars. "I don't wish to leave one prison for another, I'll have you know."

Kith was up in a flash. He pulled out the one knife that had escaped confiscation. "Who are you, and what do you want?" He asked the man outside his prison. This man was clearly not a gaurd. The man began unlocking his cell. Kith lowered himself into a fighter's crouch. "State your buisness." He spat. His voice was full of hate and venom. "Deny me this information and I shall be forced to defend myself." since when do I give warnings? Kith thought to himself.

I'd like to join!

Name: Braad (pronounced Bray-ad)
Age: 26
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance: Braad is tall and thin; almost too tall for his weight, with long arms and legs. He isn't very good-looking to begin with, and a scar that crosses the left side of his face doesn't improve his appearance. He has brown hair that reaches to his shoulders, and brown eyes.
Weapons: He carries two long daggers with him, and is also skilled with the bow and arrow. Braad was never able to get the hang of a sword.
Personality: He usually seems very easy-going, not getting angry easily. He makes light of almost any situation he's in, and tends to act on impulse.


Braad was eating his hunk of bread when a few strangers came into the dungeon hallway. They started unlocking some cell doors where live prisoners were. He stood up. "Hey, down here!" he called. He didn't know who the men were, but right now he figured anything they might do to him would be better than being kept in the prison for another few months.

Erimak looked up from his unlocking and said, "I'm Erimak and these two are Farnis and Geran. We're Death Bringers and we know why you are here. You're political prisoners; that's why we are here. To rescue you." The lock finally unlocked and Erimak opened it for the shapeshifter. Farnis, who was also unlocking the cells, moved to another one that they haven't seen yet. Geran, who was standing guard near them, whispered to Erimak, "My lord, are you sure this is wise. Normally we get only one or two but four..."
"Any help is welcome, Geran," hissed Erimak.

Kith smiled grimly. Political prisoner. Little did they know that wasn't even half the reason why he was in here. But then again, they offered him escape. He couldn't turn that down. What he wouldn't give to be free, roaming the night.

The elf maid was still looking warily at the trio, but after a few seconds of regarding them suspiciously, she seemed to decide that uncertainty was preferable to imprisonment, and waited to be freed.

Farnis finished unlocking the cell that contained the human while Erkanis unlocked the elf's cell and said, "You're out of your cell, but not free yet. We need to get you out through a postern gate."

"I would assume you have some sort of plan, then?" asked the elf. "And I suppose it would be inadvisable to drop by the armoury? I happen to have had a few weapons confiscated that I will sorely miss."

Braad bowed elaborately to Farnis. "I offer you my deepest thanks." Reaching back into his cell, he grabbed his last chunk of bread before entering the hall.

"We do," Erimak said as the two Death Bringers ushered everyone out of the dungeon. "Did you think we dropped in every dungeon of the Evil One without a plan? If you want to, you go to the armory but make sure you know your way back." The party began to move away from the dungeon where they saw the other two Death Bringers that were stationed near the door. "Anyone come?" Erimak immediately asked.
"No one that can tell anyone about us," sneered one of the Death Bringers in a low voice. "So, how many did you manage to dig up?"
"Four"
"Twice as much as last time," was the Death Bringers only response.
Erimak nodded and pointed out a door to the left and said to the elf, "The armory is over there if our sketches and reconnaissance is right. Be quick. The rest of you, come with me unless you want to be a permanent resident here."

Kith steadied his will to run. There was a good chance they knew where his weapons had been taken. Weapons...... He felt it now? How had he not felt it before? His shifting ability was free agian. They must have killed the mage that bound me Pleased that his ability was back, Kith let a small feral smile creep across his face. Beware, gaurds. He thought maliciously. I will not stop at "an eye for an eye"
