[Event Post - THE SACRIFICE!]
[For the "children" who've been kidnapped, if you wanted a good shot at slipping out, this will be the time - the guards still remaining in the mines are few and far between, and with all the other NPC kids there, it's much easier to lose track.]
[The bad news for a good number of other people is where those guards are; anyone following the passages around will find that you can pretty much follow the guards that aren't staying and watching the kids, as they're heading down the passages that wind into the center of the underground temple - to where the rituals are held. The passages are thin and narrow, only lit by torches, and there's some booby-traps for the unwary along less traveled corridors. The passages come out different places in the big central chamber, so for all of you who don't know your way around the temple, there's no telling where you'll come out, but there's three basic places the corridors will come in.]
[The main chamber is a big, open area; there's a crowd of the guards and other cultists gathered in the largest area, all the way up to a thin rope railing along a drop-off into a very, very deep pit - far below there's bubbling magma. There's a couple other corridors that open up on ledges overlooking the entire scene - nice view, bad place to try to do anything, as it's a pretty good drop even down to the altar platform. The last couple of corridors open up on the other side of the chamber, onto the raised platform that has the stone altar and a big, flat metal hanging cage, rigged with restraints to keep the victim locked in and held upright. The high priest Mola Ram is here, and for each of the sacrifices there's two of the bigger, tougher guards in ritual garb.]
[For the sacrifices, this whole thing starts with them getting let out! Or rather, those bigger, nastier guards are tugging them out, leading them to a side room where they get a chance to bathe and dress - the guards being pretty diligent about that only exit from that room - before hauling them off to the altar, a guard on either side of each person.]
[At this point, the guards will be dragging them to the altar while the high priest is chanting the ritual to Kali; if not stopped somewhere along the way, the guards will manhandle the sacrifices in turn into the cage so the High Priest can pull a wonderful supernatural cheat and pull their hearts out. Bare handed. Yeah, you probably don't want to let it hit that point.]
[The Maharaja's on one of the ledges overlooking with a set of something like voodoo dolls; anyone helping will find themselves with sudden, sharp, likely crippling pains until someone manages to find the kid and snap him out of the trance. If anyone does/has ended up brainwashed, they'll be on the Altar platform helping guard the ritual; a good sharp pain is enough to snap people out of it, like throwing hot coals or a bit of fire at them or, well, drawing blood.]
[And of course, there's a couple other guards at the entrances to the ritual platform, plus most of the Thuggee population of the mine down in the audience area.]
[Have fun, rescuers! :D

He watched the attack on the guards pretty apathetically, only waking from his numb mental state as he was directly addressed. Teru didn't really feel like making an effort to get out of this, but at the same time his sanity told him that this vulgar, most likely unrighteous person in front of him was right about this one thing.
In the general confusion he tried to step from the guards holding him, but before he could do so much as get back to a safe area he was already grabbed again. For a regular human like Teru Mikami there wasn't much escape chance here. A prosecutor was useless for battles, as it turned out.]

Seeing fellow buddy sacrifices being apprehended with little struggle thankfully channels the panic into contempt and a hearty rant to help set the mood]
YOU'VE GOTTA BE SHITTIN ME! YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO KICK HIM IN THE NUTS? YOU BOTH HAVE THE SAME PARTS, MOSTLY, JESUS FUCK- [He weaves around another set of arms but doesn't get to avoid another punch, weaving up and wheezing] MIND OVER MATTER, MAN! PRETEND HE'S THE GUY THAT PUT YOUR WIG IN THE TOILET IN HIGH SCHOOL OR THAT ONE CASE YOU LOST! LAWYER ANGRY! LAWYER SMASH!
[It's apparent that the man is sorta helpless so our friendly neighborhood ginger decides (after minumal sighing, eyerolling, grumbling and scratching his ass) to lend a ha- well, his whole body, and full body tackles the touchy feely guard at Mikami's side] LOOK INTO SOME SELF DEFENSE CLASSES THAT WAY YOUR PURSE WON'T BE IN DANGER AGAIN!
