Neb awakens with a headache worse than any he has ever experienced before, he looks around as much as he can without making the headache worse, he appears to be in a large stone cell along with ten other people, of various races, one of them looks vaguely familiar, a human assasin, clad in black sitting in one corner, Neb tries to remember who he is the but the headache is preventing him from thinking properly, he starts to take a look at the other prisoners, two of them, a giant insect that reminds Neb of a praying mantis and a human, are quietly conversing in a language that Neb dosen't understand, the rest, two elves, a dwarf, a halfling and three humans are sleeping, leading Neb to believe that it is night, even though he is greatly weakened from the poison he manages to get himself sitting, back against one of the walls, trying to find out where the hell he is and who the ones who have captured him are.

Noticing that Neb is awake, the assasin quietly makes his way across the room to him, he places a hand on the sorcerer's shoulder and gives him a wide smile while saying, "Hey Neb, don't you even recognize your old friend Dahr?", Neb is startled by the hand upon his shoulder and almost jumps, though the pain in his head prevents him from doing anything, after calming down a bit he asks the assasin, "How did you end up here?", "Well," responds Dahr, "After I tried to convince the masters that you shouldn't be hunted they decided that I was a traitor and wanted to hunt me down, luckily, I discovered that I had a wild talent, weak psionic powers that almost anyone can have, while fleeing I was captured by these guys, they seem to serve some creature that eats brains, in exchange for the brains of psionics, mages and wild talents it then grants them powers, I'm due to die in three days, escaping won't be easy though, the poison that they've given you can constantly give us in our food weakens us and prevents any use of psionics or magic, it also gives you a headache that prevents any actual thinking, any ideas on how to get out of here?"
