The Slaves Market

The Slaves Market

Open on wiki ↗
event  Marketplace ·  Events (all zones)
Marketplace You arrive at the market, but instead of merchants, you find only guards and their prisoners. The leader of the guards informs you that they have just suppressed a slave revolt here and that you may continue your pilgrimage to the altars, although the merchants won't be returning anytime soon. Among the chained people are crocomen, nagas, and lizardmen. These must be some of the prisoners the nags mentioned when you arrived through the portal. You notice that some of them are discreetly hiding the fact that they are free from their chains, seemingly preparing for an escape. Will you continue your journey or help them?

🧍 Thuls only⚔ Fight
[Fail] Thuls takes a look at the prisoners, and seeing his kind in chains makes his blood boil. Before any of you can react, Thuls disappears, but the captain of the guard reacts instinctively and grabs him by the neck. While Thuls tries to escape his powerful grip, the captain hits him in the ribs, leaving Thuls breathless. You intervene to save your companion! The other guards rush to your position, but at least as you prepare to fight, you see prisoners escaping. Begin combat
