Role

Chapter 2

The will to survive, was equally matched with the will to escape. The tap of
picks and hammers mingled with the crack of the whips, a kind of sadistic
hypnotic rhythm that drowned out the sorrow. Drulthuld sensed a nearby gas
pocket and tunneled in that direction. A massive explosion of rock and gas
followed by a cave in fell on the slaves and slavers. Many were killed and
Drulthuld was able to escape in the confusion. Traveling the subterranean
depths for some time, Drulthuld was able to use his inherent ability to
sense direction to find his way home. For many months Drulthuld recovered
from his time spent in captivity. Eventually he joined a crew of miners to
continue his life and put the past behind him. Drulthuld soon realized that
the enclosed space of the mines and his home caves caused him much pain and
anguish with memories that he could not come to terms with. Drulthuld
decided to leave Lower Cragstone, He traveled to Upper Cragstone where he
ventured outside in the openness for the first time in his life. Drulthuld
slowly found peace in himself, wandering the wild lands of Thera. Listening
to the sounds of the wilds, the wind and rain, a whole new world was there
for Drulthuld to explore. He was ready.
