Lankhmar Interludes: The Chained Child
This interlude occurs when the player characters are busy, on their way to some other task in the city. The event could take place anywhere in the city, preferably at night.
"As you are making your way through the smoke ridden alleys of Lankhmar a small figure, short and slight of frame darts across your path and locks eyes with you. The figure appears to be a young woman with alabaster skin, her emerald eyes almost glow in the reflection of the oily light that pervades the dimly lit street. "
"Please, help me," the girl exclaims in a sibilant whisper before darting into the shadowed alley to your right. As she disappears into the alley you notice that she is bound in heavy chains that clatter lazily behind her into the gloom.
Before you can react, the dark alley across the street fills with the soft ember glow of sputtering torches.
