It's dark, A gun. Flash bang. A body flwumps to the floor unceremoniously. Out from the shadows a shadowy figure emerges. His dark and gloomy expression matches the cold steel of his .45 revolver. His eyes, like dogs eyes.

Suddenly, Thorvald's eyes snapped open from his meditation and he called his companions

Due to the specificity of the comments, neither will be used.

As we continue...
"She's been sleeping for a few hours," the gruff voice says, "She should be waking up any time now."
"Make sure she knows what's going on," a smooth and slimy voice replies, "I want her to be scared out of her mind when they find her."
"Right."
"Hello?" the girl says, "Who's there?"
The grimy blindfold is ripped off of her face. Two men face her. One man is tall and brawny, with a blank stare on his face. He wears She concludes that his intelligence must be rather low. The other is a thin, oily man. He wears a long black trenchcoat and his long black hair is greasy and reflects the dull glow of the flickering lights. The spark of severity that glints in his eye causes her to quiver in fear.
"Now then, little girl, do you know who I am?" the oily one asks.
"You're the scary man in my dreams."
His cold laugh lends his already evil countenance a new level of repugnance.
"No. I'm much, much worse."
"Where am I?"
"All in good time, Sam. You see, your father has something of mine and I want it back. Until he returns it I will see to it that your every waking hour is filled with terror and pain."
"Please..."
"I'm not finished," he shouts as his hand collides with her cheek, "Now, you are to repeat after me; I am a worthless piece of slime and I will do everything you say."
"You are a worthless piece of slime and you will do everything I say."
She suddenly sees stars as the pain explodes in her temple. She loses her vision for a few seconds.
"I'm sorry. Did that hurt? I really should learn to control my temper."
"Please..."
"Say it."
"I am a worthless piece of slime and I will do everything you say."
"Good. Now drink this."
The large one hands her a bowl. Inside is a violet, viscous liquid. The sweet smell drifts up to her nostrils as her stomach heaves once more. She lifts the bowl slowly to her lips and takes a sip.
Suddenly the room is transformed. The men are replaced with ogres and the brick walls are now stone. The flourescent overhead lighting is a single torch flickering on the wall. Her own shriek is the last thing she hears before she passes out.

Coming soon: Thorvald comes to the rescue. What will his strategy consist of? As always, leave suggestions in the form of comments (which can be found just above the beginning of the episode. Remember, no outcomes, only actions). You give an action, I give an outcome. Updates will usually be on Saturdays.
