The Torture Chamber
Deep within the Plane of Hate is an area from which there is no return.

As you enter, you see dark dreary walls with bloodstains dripping down them. You can almost make out scratches on the wall that says, "HELP ME!!!" You hear a voice whisper "The Shadows of Darkness will come for you. You have been marked!"

As you walk farther in, you wonder why you are burning for 200 points of damage with each step. You look down and find that you are sinking into a pit of fire hotter than any lava you've ever seen.

You finally manage to jump out onto a ground of slime that causes you to slip down a ramp of toxic fluid. You fall for massage points of damage into a room. Above, you see the chute from which you came. Below, you see wet blood and skeleton bones, and a long staff with a crystalline tip. Barred walls with no exit cage you.

As you stand in this cage-like cubical room, you start hearing screams in the distance. The sounds of dripping blood and cold winds trickle through the halls. All of a sudden, you see a faint shadow in the dark mist filled air with glimmering lights. You hear the footsteps bringing this figure closer as you move to the back wall.

The image of torches can finally be seen as this figure comes out of the shadows. It is a dark elf female wearing a black suit of armor and fresh blood on the boots from walking through pools of victims blood.

She reaches for a lever on the wall and pushes it down. The barred walls lift up as chains drop down and cuff your arms. You try to break loose but are unsuccessful. Chains come up from the floor and cuff your legs.

As she takes a step forward, she points her torches toward you and flames shoot out slowing burning you with agonizing pain. She raises her torches and begins to turn a wheel, which stretches your arms and legs farther. As the cuffs get tighter around your wrist and ankles, you can fill sharp metal spikes push their way through your skin. You scream as loud as your pain-filled body will allow, but to no avail. She lowers her torches toward you once more and the flames begin to burn what's left of your pitiful flesh.

As the last drops of blood drop from your body, she begins to smile with an evil grin and says, "The Shadows of Darkness are before you."
