There is nothing in your pockets. From feeling around, you gather that you are wearing a wool tunic and leggings. You are not wearing shoes or socks. In your immediate area are just rocks and… a sleeping man. ---

**groans slightly** I carefully feel around my body, checking for injuries and to see what I have on. ---

You are awake now, **Antinor**. Soon you are all awake. You all appear to be uninjured but a bit sore. Your fingernails feel a bit long, like it’s been at least a few days since you’ve had a chance to groom. ETA: You are all pretty much in the same shape. There seems to be four of you. ---

_I look around and notice the other people (not recognizing anyone because of the amnesia) and search around for a mediumish rock that might serve as a weapon if needed_ “Who are you guys?” I call out. ---

_holds nose_ I already said, I’m **Santo Rugger** , Lord of Awesome. I was seeing if you had any source of light. Apparently not. _crawls around to get a feel for the terrain_ (flat, too rocky to walk on, etc.?) ---

Nope of you can hear anything but each other. The ground is quite rocky and tough to walk on. ---

Is there anything that feels like wood anywhere around? ETA:I am going to use green to talk to the mod. It helps in mafia and has helped in the D&D games. It will make things less confusing.
