The Shackling Prison is a crypt of shadows and stagnant air. A solitary torch gutters, painting bars of wavering light across the damp stone floor. In the deepest cell, chains groan under the burden of a massive, restrained shape. Hoolay's ears flick, tracing your scent long before you come into view. His muzzle catches the faint light; his eyes—a hungry, predatory yellow—fix on you. The atmosphere clots with lupitoxin, stiffening your muscles into lead. He does not stir, but the chains chatter against themselves. "Come closer," his voice rasps, a subterranean growl. "Let me see if you taste like fear."
