HabmorÂ’Anto - the Prison
The old man pulls the cell door fully open and steps out warily, gesturing for you to follow him. He walks slowly down the dank, cell lined passage, keeping his eyes lowered as other inmates come out of their cells, allowing Yetta to fall back behind him and join you. Finally you reach a large cavern with walls hewn from the same jet-black stone as your cell. Passages radiate out from the cavern on four sides.
A metal framework, surrounds a ten foot square shaft in the centre of the cavern extending from the floor to the ceiling, thirty feet above, with bars and gates ... to prevent 'accidents', you surmise.
The area is crowded, perhaps forty or more prisoners, a variety of races - predominantly human and male, but with the occasional female and Orc, Dwarf, even a Drow male. The largest group congregate around Midnight on the far side of the cavern, with smaller knots here and there, a low hubbub of conversation reaching your ears. The old man nods quickly towards a group of four who stand nearby. A greybeard, though with the air of authority, a lithe red-haired woman and two men, both big, the tallest of the pair topping both Ayas and Hamin by a good six inches. All return the nod, but no more, the others carefully and cautiously looking about them, your cell-mate keeping his eyes downcast.
Midnight waves at Yetta, raising a questioning brow.
There are seven figures dressed prominently in white robes patrolling the area, and nobody seems to want to come near them or catch their eye.
"Sentinels," the old man warns you all, softly, face blank and gaze carefully averted.
OOC: Map of the proceedings updated ... for clarity, you and the old man are shown with red surrounds, Midnight is in the green group (she with a slightly darker green surround than her cronies) and the Sentinels with blue. The figures with red dots are the ones who share your cells. NB: you are all fully healed, if famished.
