"Yes, it does seem by fate. I've tried every trick up my sleeve to no avail. I can only hope, and I am nearly hopeless after these weeks, that something will either end my misery or allow a chance at escape."
It is immortality of a sort.

The small fire the beastmen left you to survive over in the corner burns low.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Using common so that both of his companions can understand him, Tillak whispers, "I think that the opportunity to escape may come when this witch arrives, if that be what she is. I am sore wounded from our trials. Even if I could escape our bonds, I do not know if I have the strength or fortitude to fight these beastmen. Perhaps the sorceress can be reasoned with. Then again, witches area foul lot."

“Possibly she wants to use us for some reason. We just do her bidding and maybe she’ll release us.”

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil listened to his comrades, he had met some nice witches in his life, but it is true they could be erratic and unreliable, but whatever controlled these Beast-men was probably evil...
The cryomancer set to meditating, "Great Yikkorth; the Ashen Worm, I beseech thee, come save your humble servant, and his new comrades, and give us the strength to defeat our enemies!"
This the cryomancer chants for hours after...

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
A beastman returns with twigs for your fire.
"Your Worm dead. Only her now."
He laughs and throws the bundle on the flames.

Narrhil ignores the Beast-man, lost in the concentration of his ritual, to connect with his god...

Tillak prays to Ythaqua, in Esquimaux.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
As Tillak begins to bow his head, four beastmen approach with torches, clubs, and a handful of hides.
"She come to church. We go."
One of the beastmen has a knife and disappears behind the large rock. Then he returns with the emaciated thief - still bound at the wrists and hands him over to the other three.
Then he leans over Narrhill and Tillak.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Keèt groans as he is manhandles, but spots a little piece of meat in the fur of the beastman he was handed to. He wriggles a little bit and gets it in his mouth, gagging a little bit but savoring the calories.
It is immortality of a sort.

Keet's guard laughs and smacks the thief away. The other beastmen grunt in amusement..

Tillak is amazed by the audacity that Keet displays.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Tillak is curious. "Do not harm my companions, please."
