------------- Classic Beginnings

You awaken in a cramped position in a hanging cage. The bars are rough, but its too dark to see anything else. Getting into a precarious position and pushing with your legs against the bars, you manage to force them open enough to crawl out. Searching through the dark, your mind races. How did you get here? Who's responsible? What do they want with you? After fifteen minutes or so of searching, mostly crawling around on the rough wooden floor on your hands and knees, you manage to find a torch and a cardboard box with a single match in it. You get lucky and the torch lights on the first try. Looking around, you're not really sure where this place is. You don't know whether you're above or below ground. The room is filled with boxes and crates and chests, as though it were some kind of store room. You hear nothing from beyond the one door in the rear. You find two windows, but you see nothing past them but blackness. You try several of the crates and boxes, but can't manage to force any of them open. The chest seems to have a very heavy internal lock, from the looks and texture of it, its made of Drow adamant. In a small shelf in the back, you find a set of boots that don't fit very well and a single steel stiletto.

As your mind clears from whatever drug was introduced into your system, you remember a fight. Who were you fighting? And where is all your stuff? You have the slightest taste of mushrooms in your mouth and the smell of fungus and mildew in your nose. You remember that's the after effect of being knocked out by Drow sleep poison. But you have no visible wounds and nothing hurts, so somebody healed you, but who, and why?

What do you do next?

For all those that will invariably get a fantasy roleplaying action adventure game for Christmas,… I couldn't resist,… especially with Danie and Marforno's newest set released.
