The night before, seven strangers went to sleep in their beds, oblivious to any threats. Each woke up naked in a cell, the males in one cell and the females in another. Two-Rivers, an Oerdian man with long blond hair who practiced the Lakota traditions of the Shaman, Rufalo, a man of mixed Midani-Medegian heritage trained as a watchful Sentinal, Fridmarr, a priest of the Norsk All-Father, Odin, and Slate, a dwarven warrior, were in one cell while with Nimm, a white-haired half-elven Druidess from the frozen lands, Serafina, a milk-chocolate skinned woman with intricately-woven, herringbone dreds and warm gray eyes, along with a sobbing woman with pumpkin colored skin and wispy pale blonde hair. All were strangers and it quickly became apparent that the group was drawn from different lands, even regions of the world, as they lacked a linga franca.
Fridmarr, miraculously, found the one flawed bar in his cell, as the otherwise unremarkable cleric wrenched one loose. On a table nearby were his things along with a lot of other equipment. That's when the naked, novice cleric saw the two jailors. Scruffy, mangy-furred, cream-colored rabbit folk nearly seven feet tall armed with padded clubs and piecemeal bits of leather armor. Fight! Slate slips out of the cell to join Fridmarr, followed by Rufalo. Using the bar as a club, the cleric is able to hold the long-eared captors at bay long enough for the other to to grab weapons. While the hare people quick fall, a minotaur in chainmail and armed with an axe steps up. Two-Rivers, meanwhile joins Nimm and Serafina to free the females. Serafina, the dark-skinned woman, concentrates and a yellow glow in the shape of a short sword appears in her hand, but it is no good against the bars.
*plink*
Another cell just pops open releasing a young tiger that attacks the rears of the foes. The rest minotaur is surrounded and dies quickly, giving the others time to free the females. Nimm hears her polar bear cub, Khalek's call, and the druidess finds him along with a wolf in the cell the young tigress emerged from. Nimm speaks with the cat, learning her name is Bethsheba, and she'd like to get out of her, thank you very much...!
The orange woman is a sobbing mass and the group releases a half-dozen children captives. The group also finds an elf in platemail welded shut chained to the wall. They free him, discovering that the fingers of his right hand have been shattered, effectively preventing him from casting spells. Nimm gives Dorian a goodberry allowing him to continue.
The group makes its way through these actual dungeon cells, crawling through danger. They reach a hallway...and are battling four more rabid rabbit men. With their equipment, this battle is far quicker and more one sided. Fridmarr and Serafina are hurt but the heroes have the upper hand. Four more hare folk join the fight from down the hall, one even unleashing a color spray on the tigress. It fails and they all die, save one, to be questioned, it's neck in the tigresses mouth as she pants from the melee...
