Escaping Edgewild

Last night you went out to do your chores, or run your errands. Maybe you went out for a drink? Or maybe you went out to slit a purse string, or a throat?

But this morning, you wake up shackled in a dark, filthy prison cell surrounded by strangers. A man outside says you’ll be sold to a slaver in a few hours. And slaves don’t live long…

So you’d better start making some friends, coming up with a plan, and trying to escape from Fort Edgewild!
