Chapter 86 by bastardlydastard bastardlydastard

what do you do next?

Search for the prisoner.

"Lysander Maxos!" You bellow, and in response the prisoners cringe back, as though your voice had struck them physically. after a long pause, a quiet voice answers your shout.

"I am he."

The source of the voice is a short, painfully thin man in a cell to your right.

His black hair and yellow nails are both long, and a scraggly, half-formed beard grows from his chin. he looks as though he hasn't bathed in weeks, and his body holds the scars and bruises of one who has been tortured consistently for weeks on end.

Despite all of this, however, he holds his head high, and gives off an air of cool confidence.

"I was sent to free you." You tell him, omitting your capture from your tale. Then, remembering the wound in your side, you say: "But first, does anyone here know the healing arts?"

That raises a chuckle from Lysander. "as it just so happens," he begins, his smile out of place on his battered face "I do."

"In that case" you begin, patting down the **** woman for keys, and finding them soon after. "I will need your help."

"In return for freeing me?" He asks, mirth in his voice. "that seems fair."

You unlock the door to his cell, tossing the keys to one of Lysander's cell-mates and telling him to open the other cells.

While he does so, you return to the common room through the shattered door and find an upturned chair. You right it, then sit down for a much needed rest. Lysander goes off to find some clean cloth, telling you to press your hand to your wound to slow your loss of blood. you do this, and he quickly returns, applying bandages to all of your light wounds and sewing your side back together. That done, you allow yourself a moment to think on what to do next.

20 freed prisoners, 7 corpses, and one enemy. What now?
