House of the Soon to be Dead

"I hope you know what you're doing." I was standing on Travania's shoulders to get at his shackles, his sense of annoyance was easy to understand.

"You know for all the talks of the great magical canceling abilities of shackles," Click the lock was popped and I tumbled to the floor with grace, "They are some of the easiest locks to pick, I swear its like they assume magical people without magic are completetly lost."

Travania freed from the chains stretched a bit and the sound of bones cracking was pretty loud.  I did mention his body was scarred up before, but I failed to explain its not a little bit of scarring. The majority of his torso is covered in burns (with what appeared to be runes carved into the burned flesh) it was actually difficult to make out the normal features of a persons torso he was so marked.  His arms were also the same way, whatever had been done to him had made him stronger, but at a very large cost.

He didn't wait around in the dank basement, he moved with beastly speed and flat out kicked his way through the iron door that seperated the basement from the main house above it. The kick was of such force it threw the door into the man standing guard beyond it and splattered him against the stone wall he was standing next to (rough check out). Travania took the rifle the man left behind and made his way upstairs where he immediately opened fire (reckless to be sure they hadn't even fixed the door yet, thankfully the Guard isn't the best at actually policing things, even worse so back then). I was a bit slower than he was so all I got to see was the aftermath, lots of bodies, lots of blood, and Travania on the hunt for the man who had enslaved him.  It all lead up to a door inscribed with a bunch of nasty runes and a fairly complicated lock for once.

"Mr. Pavarosi if you would." I hesistated if only for a small moment, because frankly I didn't know what was beyond the door, or what Travania would do once I was done, but seeing as what he had just done, well it wasn't the hardest decision I ever made. The lock unfortunately was not as easy as the earlier ones and so it took me a great deal longer to open, during which I had to deal with Travania pacing behind me in a way that made opening the lock even harder. I had kind of hoped when I opened it the room would be empty alas that was not to be naturally.

What was inside? Well you'll have to wait till the next entry!
