Ask what her issue is.>Briefly pause to ask our companions if they know this person or if this person's description matches that of anyone who is known to trap or kill people. If they say no, then draw our greatsword so we at least have a weapon out and slash through her chains.“Are any of you familiar?” You glance back to your companions, your voice low.
“Mmm.. perhaps not this particular one, but is it not uncommon for your human kings to toss dangerous prisoners in dungeons like these?” The dhampir looks bored. “She’s just one of many. It’s best not to waste our time with this type–who knows what sort of abominable things she’s done?”
“This seems.. cruel..” The doll murmurs, her voice low.
You maintain your distance along the grave step, a hand on the hilt along your back. “..You there!” You loudly announce your presence, cutting through her wails. She falls silent at your voice. “We’re on our way down. What seems to be the problem?”
“Ahhh, please, please..” The prisoner begs, her hands clasped beneath her mask. “..I was on my way up to leave this accursed dungeon when my chains caught my ankle and shattered it. I lack even the strength to fling myself off. Please–..just slay me, so that I might awaken at the shrine anew and try again..”
“And what have you done to earn those chains?” The dhampir glares.
“Please, right away..” The prisoner ignores the dhampir’s question and stares up at you through her mask.
>Abide by her request and grant her mercy.>Repeat the dhampir’s question. Ask for her identity.>Leave her be and continue on. If not you, then hunger and thirst will take her just fine.>Write-In.
