Chapter 17 by lady-lux lady-lux

Where does the corridor lead?

Lux finds some food

Dungeon Entrance (How it looks: [9H] Unsavory (social) | How it is used: [7C] Create (physical) )


Making her way along the corridor, Lux reaches a room that the bandits seem to be using to store and prepare food. Bags and crates of presumably stolen goods are piled along with fuel and other supplies. Lux approaches cautiously, but there’s no sign of anyone around at the moment.

Her attention is drawn to a cookpot in the middle of the room, with some kind of stew still half-warm over a smouldering flame. As disgusting as it looks and smells, it’s a reminder that she hasn’t eaten in a while – and she doesn’t know when her next chance will be.

Reluctantly, she ladles out a portion and swallows it down as quickly as she can, doing her best not to question what’s in it. It tastes even worse than it smells, but she struggles through. Besides, she reminds herself bitterly, it’s still not the worst thing she’s had in her mouth today.

She looks around, wondering if she could retrieve something she can use as a weapon from the kitchen tools here, but before she can look closely, she hears footsteps and voices approaching. Hastily, she ducks out of the room in search of a quiet spot to hide. She listens while the bandits settle in – it seems they suspect nothing.

Where does she end up next?
