You try to stay sane.

You sit in the dark basement and think about what's going to happen. 

You're going to be executed. 

You don't have much time. 

You think about how you can make a last stand. 

No. You can't think that way. You have to stay strong. You have to think about getting out of here. You see if there's anything in the room you can use as a weapon.


You break into the toilet.

You break into the toilet and look for anything that might help you. 

You find a small box of matches and a small piece of metal.

You sharpen the metal into a shiv.

You sharpen the metal into a shiv and try to think about how to kill the Black Moranth. 

You remember that the Black Moranth all carry guns. Maybe you can take out one with your shiv.

You wait for the guards to give food.

You wait patiently, but the guards never give food. 

You go to sleep hoping that you'll dream about being free. 

You wake up in a cell, completely alone. 

You quickly try to remember everything you can about your surroundings. 

You're in a prison. There's no doubt about it. The cell is small, the walls are solid concrete. There's a large, thick metal door on the opposite side of the cell. You look around the cell. 

It's dark except for the light coming from the door.

You try to scratch the metal bars with the shiv.

You scratch the metal bars with the shiv, but sadly it doesn't even make a scratch. 

You look around the cell. 

There's a small bench by the door. You look at the bench. It has a hole in it. 

You look at the bars. You see that one has a keyhole. You look at the floor.

You light the matches and hold them to the keyhole.

The flame of the matches illuminate the entire cell. You see that the bars are only half an inch from the ground. You bend down to look closer. You can see the entire length of the bars.

You pull the bench under the bars and it fits perfectly.
You crawl under the bars.

You crawl under the bars and wiggle your way underneath. 

You take a deep breath. 

You hear a loud clank and a shout. 

The Black Moranth have come for you.

You hide in the darkness.

You duck into the darkness and wait. 

You hear a shout and a clank. 

You see a flashlight beam hit your cell. 

"Hands behind your head, don't move."

You wait for the Black Moranth to start handcuffing.

You wait. 

They just stand there. 

After a few minutes, you jump up and swing your shiv. 

You stab a Black Moranth in the neck.

You grab his rifle and fight your way out of the basement.
