It all began with a rumbling and grinding noise, for the four survivors interred in a dark room, lit solely by one heatless eternal flame casting a soft yellow glow all around the square-shaped room.
An androgynous, soft-seeming young orc guy awoke first, feeling as though confetti were flaking off of him all around. He was naked and surrounded by what seemed to be honey-hued wax, cracking and flaking away or turning into dust at a touch. The same was happening to the three other occupants of the room: a snow pale dwarf woman with no beard, a satyr with red fur and a softening cock that was, surely, comically oversized when erect and an androgynous, crimson-eyed young man with bite marks all over his body.
At the foot of the niche hewn into the walls that they had been set into to 'sleep', covered in this strange wax, were backpacks, as well as simple undergarments, weapons and armor that fit the waking wanderers loosely, comfortably. The only other thing of note in their room was the brazier of wrought iron that had been nailed or screwed into the floor of the chamber, with the pale, magic light making it even possible to see anything in there.
As they got up, groggy from sleep, they could tell they were not in their home, wherever that was. And as they took that train of thought, they had to wonder where they were because everything looked so unfamiliar: one put in their situation might have wondered if this was a dream? But the blast of hot, sweltering air that doused them when the door to their chamber opened with a great, teeth-rattling grinding noise disproved that theory.
Then, they noticed that they did not remember their family name. Or their parents, siblings and relatives or friends and even acquaintances. They only had strange, vague memories about other relatives, ones that had a greenish hue to their skin for the orc, were pale and very beardy for the dwarf, had horns and goat legs and hooves for the satyr and lizard perhaps even draconic features for the dragonkin. But even those memories were blurry and distant and merely visual: nothing heard, or any other sense that they could percieve. Just a faint memory associated to family.
As these and their own thoughts tumbled around in their minds, they heard the clinking of metal, as though coins but much bigger and soon at the door the cause made itself known: it was a figure wearing a full set of armor and carrying a one-handed metal sword in their right and a small, circular shield in their left. It was dark, but the eyes of the stranger were somewhat visible under the visor of the helm covering their face: they widened when they saw the party, seeming surprised for a moment.
