New Cellmates

by Nicholas al'Malaki

New prisoners arrived today, at least one proclaiming his innocence. As if the god's would bring another innocent in here. No, I'm the only one, tortured and damned for being found wanting when tested.
 
Bah, this gets me nowhere. Focus on the present Nicholas. Focus!
 
Recover, replan, retaliate.

Anyway, new folks in the cell block, looking like nothing more than the oddities section of a traveling faire. A man made of rocks, a half-goliath, another mana-born (so they claim. Haven't seen him. I wish I'd paid more attention in my studies to them, but who knew they were real?), and a vriskeh sihe.
 
Some strange man wandered in shortly after the new fish arrived. Seems like there is already a plan in the works to spring the vriskeh sihe. It ain't impossible, but it's pretty close. Still, en route to Cragscleft is the only real place to make it happen. Unfortunately, these aren't chump guards. They're trained soldiers and know the route.
 
Let's see what they can do.
 
Gods I want a drink.
