lyrics

You open the door and go through into another passage. This one, however, is lighted by smoky torches, and goes South as far as you can see. The West side of the passage is made up entirely of thick iron bars, which are divided into three large cages. Two of the cages are empty, but the middle one is occupied by a sleeping figure. You move closer to investigate, and see that it is a young, dark-skinned man, dressed in tattered rags, with a mass of black, tangled hair. A bunch of keys hangs from a hook on the East wall of the passage. Will you: Quietly unlock the cage and creep up while he sleeps? As quietly as you can, you take the keys from the hook and insert one into the lock. The door swings silently open, and you advance towards the sleeping man, your sword in your hand. As you enter the cage, the man leaps to his feet and whirls around to face you, half crouching, his eyes glinting red. You prod the man gently with the tip of your sword, till he reluctantly awakes and turns to face you. When he realizes that you are not his jailer, he slowly sits up and smiles, revealing gleaming white teeth. There is a long silence. “Well, are you going to kill me or set me free?” he asks at length, glancing at your sword. You ask him who he is and how he came to be locked in this cage, and he tells you he is an adventurer called Teel, who was captured and imprisoned by Goblins, many months ago. He asks if he can accompany you out of the fortress, and it is obvious he bears little love for Kruglach. Lock him back up in his cell? You back slowly away from him, your sword point never wavering from his heart as you fumble for the keys. Realizing your intention, the man’s face twists into a lupine snarl, and his eyes glow hot and red. His muscles tense, ready to pounce, and although you are sure you have the advantage, you will have to fight! As you raise your sword to fight, the man undergoes a rapid transformation, and you realise to your horror that you are facing a Werewolf!
