Ghost is placed in heavy chain by the twisted iron links, a bag is stuffed over his head and he hears voices. "Master, the Lunar with this one is missing. It is probably hiding somewhere nearby in some inconspicuous form waiting for her chance to strike. Move with heavy watch and take them below, I will deal with them later."
You can feel several large bodies surrounding you as they guide you throug dark and twisted tunnels until you are stopped, then thrown into a room with a harsh landing on stone ground. Pulling the mask from your face it would appear that you are in the library or some sort of drining room, definetely not a prison cell you were expecting. One captor tells you that while in these chambers your Essence ahs been constrcted to allow you to operate as if you were a cripple; not nearly enough to power Charms or weapons. Ghost also sees the sleeping forms of Alexandria, Kentaru, and our late arrival has bee flopped down on the couch. "Tell them that if they wish to behaive and actually see what is going on, they will need to play nice or punishments will be rapid and painful. The elemental talking to Ghost continues, "Its not that we wish to hurt you, but so much is at stake. It it is determined that you would be a viable recruit for the cause, our Master would be quite interested in what skills you would bring to the table. As far as what we have planned on the others, I hope they listen to you well."
One by one, they start to rise with the feeling that the great Primordial War has just been fought inside your heads. Dizzyness, pain, and disorientation slowly fade away and you all discover that you cannot spend more than one mote of essence every few minutes, and even that is a struggle. Kentaru also seems to have been singled out for a rather savage beeting. He should live thannks to his Exalted nature. The elemental that seems to be in the lead of this chain gang rounds up his servants and offers a shallow bow. "Good day, my Lords and Ladies of Creation. These rooms will keep you comfortable and save until the Master has a moment to interrogate you more." He doesn't say Ghost's name specifically, but you get a whole lot of eye contact. "Once his tests are done, you will be free to go, so do your best and cooperate. it will be much less painful and could actually be quite rewarding. Rest now. Your first trials won't start for several hours."
