Cold iron bites into ancient flesh, the heavy chains rattling a mournful song in the dark. Then, a voice cuts the silence. 'Kani, unseal them.' Footsteps approach. 'Got it.' The bonds shatter, metal clattering to the stone floor. Freedom comes with a threat: a mage’s staff glows like a prism at your face. 'Hold still, or die,' Kani warns. A dwarf steps forward, flanked by snarling black and silver wolves. 'Vengeance for a price,' he offers. In the shadows, a silent figure lingers. Compliance or chaos? The choice is yours.
