2.0 Cold hearted Beasts <> Tayron/Kal/busa/EK

[Atarihero]

Your last memory was being hit in the neck with a tiny needle-like dart. It felt like a mosquito bite, but before you could even raise your hand to touch it you fall into cloudy darkness.

Everything after that is fuzzy, and shrouded in darkness and horrors. Long metal corridors flash into your vision, filled with monstrous beings of all types. The face of a tall, thin Elf standing over you, giving order in an unknown language to small Dwarven creatures, possibly druegar.
Then all fades as memories of pain overcome your senses. Fire, Ice, Electricity, all sorts of energies magical and real lick and scrape at your flesh, day in and day out, all you feel is one pain after another. It feels like an eternity, but the perception of time is really impossible. Some kind of mental thrall prevents you from thinking or really perceiving your surrounding in any real tangible manner.

Then suddenly, as if a wave of clarity hit you, you find yourself in control of your mind. You feel very different, but cannot exactly figure out how at first. You panic as you realize that you are trapped in a tight tube of some kind of metal. A frosty mist covers everything you see, and cold air blew down onto you from above. Though you are covered in frost, the cold somehow feel welcome, is anything about your present feelings can be welcome. The sides of the small tube are cracked and drying out, as if the cold was making the metal brittle. (without darkvision, Lily will have to feel the icy cracks with her smaller hands )

A thunderous crack rocks you and the tube sideways and back, then another loud boom rumbles like an earthquake for about 10 seconds, and then stops, all going quiet. You sit inside your frosty tube until you hear a crackling sound in front of you. A sudden, single shock hits you, like an electric jolt to your forehead. The jolt came from seemingly nowhere, and did not affect the tube at all, or have any visible signs.

The tube continues to get colder, and you find this even more comfortable and soothing. The metal of the tube crackles more and more as it continues to freeze.

Ok, You are all in your own tubes, you have barely enough room to maneuver around and it’s dark.

She could not make much sense of what was going on, she hurt, and what was worse, was in a dark, tiny...tube? What the hells was going on? She could hear something breaking, perhaps the material of the tube itself was giving way under the comforting cold. ...no, that can't be right, cold wasn't comforting, unless...perhaps, it simply meant she was slowly freezing to death. There were stories about people simply laying down in the middle of winter and dozing off...oh gods, she was going to freeze to death, and her body didn't even know it!

She panicked, what else could she do? If the tube was cracking, that meant it was made of something breakable, and even without much room she still knew she was incredibly strong. Thus, she started pounding on the inside with all her strength, with both hands and feet. Eventually even bracing herself against the back of it and trying to kick it open. That felt particularly strange, her back hurt even more than the rest of her, right between the shoulder blades.
There was, admittadly, not much room to maneuver...but she had to try something!

His curiosity about his new whereabouts is suddenly forgotten when a memory of a familiar elven face erases all other thoughts and a burning hatred and urge to kill takes control of him.

A screeching sound pulls him out of his hateful state of mind and curiously he looks for the origin of the sound. When he sees the claw in front of him scratching the frosty metal interior of his prison he freezes , somewhat baffled to see the claw respond and stop too.

Carefully he starts moving the claw tipped fingers one by one. Feeling scared and marvelled at the same time when suddenly his thoughts are interrupted again by a thunderous crack that violently rocks the tube he is imprisoned in.

When the rumbling stops he remains still and waits for something to happen. Jolted back to action by the shock he almost panics and attacks the biggest crack he can see, trying to get a claw in between to pry it open and enlarge it. Slowing down a bit when the soothing cold get's stronger Lido starts doubting if he is doing the right thing by damaging his comfortable prison.

A bit absentminded he is pulling at some different cracks when suddenly he realises he can see three claw tipped hands. Linking this immediately to the face of his former tormentor his rage takes hold of him again and he attacks the tube with renewed strength.

escape artist for some freedom of movement inside the tube?

The jolt to my head awakens many memories. The wizards minions, they were in my fathers smithy...One of them must of sneaked behind me...The prick in the neck, a dart...Blasted Wizard...My chains! My beautiful chains...wait, why do I feel even more desired to hear the chains rattle again? And all this frost...Why doesn't it feel cold? I feel perfectly fine yet I should feel like I'm freezing. And this tube...I hate being confined...Wait, if I'm in a frozen tube, with no visible light...How can I see everything? Too many questions...I need to move! I press my arms against the sides of the tube and start to push them out as hard as I can, and I also notice I feel a lot stronger than I used to...hopefully strong enough to get out of this thing.

Lily kicked at the cold metal, but though she struck with all her might she somehow found her blows weak and….wanting. Your body does not feel right at all. The more you think about it the more disturbing it seems. You had been changed.

Lido struggles with the reality of two extra appendages, two gruesome looking claws. What fate could have led him to this place. The Halfling wiggles around in the icy tube, but all you really manage to do it brush the frost around and give yourself slightly more space. The metal feels very cracked, and is still cracking.

Lido and Lily both hear a muffled crash, but it seemed close….pain quickly follows, a stabbing pain right in your foreheads.

Lars pushes against the sides of his crackling frost tube, His back muscles flexed and his hands push two holes right through either side of the tube. The holes are so big the back/bottom side of the tilted tube break and crack into shards and Lars falls backwards onto the sharp bed of metal tube bits. A frosty mist rolls out from the top of the curved remains of the tube, the cold vapors soothing the wounds.

The cold inside their tubes quickly heals and sooths the pain Lily and Lido felt.

Lars gets the feeling he is in a larger room, but he is buried in ice and metal shards and the tube is blocking his view, to his left and right are two other tubes, another can be seen off to the right.

Lars hears muffled scratching from the right tube, and rapid, desperate thumping to the left.

She flails at the tube in vain, there was something wrong...very wrong, the blows just didn't have the strength she was sure they should. The more she pressed herself against the back of the tube, the more the area between her shoulder blades hurt too....she felt strange, utterly wrong.

As she drew back for another strike she suddenly clutched her head and let out a shrill cry as her vision blacked out from the sudden burst of sheer pain. Then, just as quickly as it started, the pain was gone, leaving nothing but a terrible memory floating in her head. What the hells was going on? No, no...there was time for that later, first she had to get out. It was in bad shape, surely it couldn't take much more? Even in her weakened state, she had to at least try....

The sharp pain of the jolt to his forehead brings again a familiar elven face to his mind. His vision going red again when his hatred takes over his thoughts again for a few moment. His attack on the metal sides of the tube renewed.

When a few moments later the cold takes the pain away Lido forces himself to calm down. Scared and amazed by the loss of control the halfling is determined not to loose it again.

With his attacks on the sides of the tube having been rather ineffective he turns his attention to the top and bottom of the tube. Using feet and hands to feel below and above him he tries to find something beside the cold metal sides.

"Oww..." Lars says as he falls backwards onto the shards that used to be his confinement. He starts to brush the remnants off of him, but when he does, he notices something he didn't before. On the backs of his wrists, a chain was attached: not around the wrist, but buried into his flesh. He grabbed one of the chains and pulled the rest of it too him, counting about a 10 foot length. What in the nine hells?! He frantically brushes the rest of the tube and ice off of him and starts to stand (assuming I can do so). First he looks down at the two chains hanging off of him. I...I...I don't believe it... He flips one of his hands around to get a grip on the chain attached to that arm, and gives it a slight crack like a whip. The rattle of the chain seems to comfort him, but disturb him at the same time. Why...why would he do this? And...why am I not as alarmed as I think I should be?! He then turns his attention to either tube, hearing similar sounds of something trying to escape from each. Not sure whether the contents were good-natured or bad, he stands there and waits, his other hand absentmindedly grabbing its respective chain...

Lily punches and pounds, managing to hurt her fists, but she didn’t care. Lido and Lars feel a biting pain in their forehead, but as the cold heals Lily’s bloody knuckles, the forehead feelings of the others lessen. Another adrenaline-fuled blow and Lily’s seemingly smell fist punches a tiny hole in the side of her tube.


Lido feel the top of the tube, there is a rounded blower up there, where the soothing frosty mist was coming from. As you wiggle down to feel the bottom, you realize that it is hot to the touch. Whether it is actually hot or just that much warmer than the surrounding tube, you could not tell.

Lars clamors out of the glassy rubble, the area behind the broken tube is very tight, standing is rough but he manages. You can now see more of the openness of the room beyond, but nothing specific. A light humming can be heard in the background.

To the left, Lars can see a small flake poke out from a tube, a tiny fist pokes out with it.

"Urgh...out of the cubicle and into the cell, I guess." After seeing the little fist pop out of the tube to my left, I give it a curious look. I wonder if that little thing is ferocious or a helpless one like me...Hrm...At least I could be ready for when it frees itself...but I guess I better try to find out before it does.Maneuvering past my tube, I make my way over to the tube in question. With my right arm held back and chain at the ready to smash if the creature is a threat, I grab the little hand poking out of the hole my left hand. "Aye, if you're foe, and ally of the wizard, then prepare to be smashed. If you're a victim of the wizard, speak quickly, and I'll do my best to help."
