The rhythmic drip of water echoes through the cavern, each drop a clockwork tick in the gloom. Firelight from a goblin camp casts frantic, leaping shadows across the stone. You are bound, the coarse rope chafing your skin, your heartbeat a frantic drum in your ears. From the dimness beyond, harsh laughter rises and falls, punctuated by the slap of playing cards. What will you do, you, to claw your way back from this darkness?
