I updated the character sheet.

Oh, and the reason why you ended up in the prison in the first place is going to be affected by your future votes. I know that's kinda vague but that's it, really.

[x] Escape right now. You can't take any more of this.

Whats the worst that could happen?

Sorry about the delay. I just crashed -_-

This round is going to feature your first fight. I'm not sure how I plan on handling this, hence the open vote. Let's learn as we go!

Also, new feature: invisitext! W***UP ;/

[x] Leave now.

Forget waiting.

You step back, and charge at the door, slamming into it with all of your strength-

And nearly pass out from the pain.

No, no. You had to do this intelligently.

You pick up your shackles, grip them by the chains, and with all your strength, bash it against the wall.

You nearly hit yourself with the rebound on the first swing. Your second swing is more careful, and on the third swing, you manage to break off a few shards of brick and mortar. The sight fills you with sudden cheer.

So you swing again, and again, until the flying shards of brick make your hands, your arms, and your face bleed. You just grin - it's a sign of progress.

You raise the manacles again - and freeze as the cell seemed to be imperceptibly darker. The hole. The pathetic excuse of a skylight was gone.

Someone knew you were trying to escape.

The realization feels like a cold snake coiling around your heart.

You snarl. You clench a fist. You take that pain, bring it inside yourself, and slam your fist into the wall.

Then you do it again.

And again.

You're dimly aware of something wet running down your knuckles. You disregard it.

You imagine the bearded man's smug face in front of you. He's sneering at you, contempt and disgust on his face-

You let out a wordless scream and punch the wall again. You hear something crack. You tell yourself its the wall.

The warden's next. You can imagine the coward kicking you while you were unconscious, spitting on you, laughing at you-

Your next punch drives your fist through the wall like it's a rotten plank.

The sight of faint torchlight only drives you to redouble your efforts. You ignore how the light exposes the scrathes, the gashes, the broken fingers and the blood. All you focus on is the prospect of escape that is literally right in front of you.

After a few kicks and another go with the manacles, you manage to widen the hole enough for you to crawl through with only a few more cuts and gashes to add to your growing collection. You land on the floor in a heap.

For a while, you just lie there, breathing heavily.

You hear a slow clapping.

In a patch of shadows, leaning against the wall, is the warden, his teeth gleaming in the darkness.

"We had a betting pool going on, you know," he says conversationally. "Oh, we thought you might struggle for a bit. But I was the only one who thought you'd actually get out. Lucky me."

He draws his sword, utterly confident in his triumph. "I'll cut you a break, boy: if you get on your hands and knees and beg for it, I'll end it with a quick chop." It was evident from his tone that he thought that a great kindness.

Your hands twitch.

[x] Completely ignore him. Let him attack first. If he isn't, walk my way and find the exit.

Votes locking in five hours.

I feel obliged to tell you guys that trying to hit someone while standing on your hands and knees isn't going to work well.

[x] Pretend to go on your hands and knees, and when he strikes, deliver a low blow to his exposed groin.

The warden is in front of you, blocking the corridor. The cell is behind you.

You clench your hands, then slowly unclench them. Then you get on your hands and knees and bow your head.

You hear the warden chuckle as he steps forward, you hear the sword hum as he lifts it over his head, and you lunge at him, aiming a punch at his groin-

And the warden steps back with a speed that tells you he was expecting it.

"You think I'm stupid, boy?" he bellows, roaring with laughter. "You think I haven't seen that trick before? Now I'm going to carve you up like a pig, and you can die knowing exactly how stupid you were."

He charges at you, sword held high.

[x] Charge at him. (Take him by surprise!)
[x] Dodge, then counterattack. (No, that didn't work so well the first time.)
[x] Write-in... (If only there was something I could use...)

(Counterattack could be to throw him in the "hole" of the bricked wall you just created.)

[x] In good old' Ares fashion take your prisoner shackles and impale him in the stomach, then chain him to a nearby object (pillar, statue, ect.) and laugh as he bleeds out.
