"let us check the rest of the cells"
"Misaki make sure that they are on our side first."
The doors all are are locked with a simple latch attached to the outside. Opening them requires no key or anything special if you're not inside them. Disengage the latch and the door is open. The metal slider at eye level allows one to peek in to check on the prisoner without opening the door, if desired. |

Kuroi opens the door and reveals the inside of the cell which contains a plain wooden bed with straw ticking, a font of tepid water, and a metal slop bucket for waste. The walls, floor and ceiling each project a light that is painful to look at and likely equally painful to rest in. Standing in the room is a skinny young man with dirty blonde hair, casually dressed with a hoodie over a long sleeve shirt, cargo pants and sneakers. A chest containing his belongings sits next to the door. There appear to be commlinks, ammunition, firearms, and assorted other gear in there. Meanwhile, Misaki peeks in through the window of another door. While the basic contents of the room are the same as the one Kuroi opened, there are some key differences. First of all, the prisoner is shackled down, unlike the prisoner in Kuroi's room who is allowed to move about freely. Secondly a glowing magical circle surrounds the prisoner, who gazes up at Misaki's drone with glowing greenish-yellow eyes, eldritch symbols seemingly carved into his flesh. "I am Zendo," he says, "Zendo Tenshi. Will you release me?" Like Kuroi's prisoner, there is a chest near this prisoner's door containing his belongings. Given that it is empty, he must not have any. |

Zendo says, "The woman bound me so she could cut me. She cut symbols into my flesh, removed pieces of me and left me here. She mentioned it was for a ritual, though she gave no details as to the nature of the ritual." |

Zendo says to Misaki, "I have no intention of being trouble to you." The moment the words come out of his mouth, the secret door leading out of the prison opens up and in walks a massive, 4 meter tall crone with a spider sitting on her shoulder. "Thank you all for opening the doors to those cells," she says, "Now be good little meals and enter them." Maroosia screams in terror, "Baba Yaga!" |

Kuroi blasts off one of Zendo's chains and feels a burst of magical energy seep through the room. He has one more chain remaining... While everyone is suddenly drawing their weapons, Baba rubs a skull in her hand and says, "Powers of Night, Shadows of day. Heed now my words! Henceforth you STAY!". Suddenly everyone loses control of their bodies, unable to move a muscle. No matter what you do, your limbs just don't seem to obey your brain's commands. It is extremely frustrating. She says, "You trespass in my home, steal my property AND draw weapons upon me. Such rude little morsels. Will you settle down or must I put you all down like rabid dogs? Nod yes if you are going to stop your nonsense." You all suddenly feel that you are capable of nodding your heads in response to her question, should you desire to. |
