When the man woke up, he first took notice of how cold his back was. He was sweating profusely, and the sticky wall felt like ice on his bare back.
He slowly opened his eyes, wincing at the throbbing pain from his head. His vision was still blurry, and his mind foggy. He tried to wipe his sweating forehead, only to find that his arms were completely unresponsive and incredibly numb. He just couldn't feel his arms.
The bard then tried to shuffle around, but his ankles were still tightly bound together.
He sighed, trying to swallow the clawing fear in his stomach, and looked around, blinking profusely so that his eyes would slowly lose their blurred vision.
It seemed that he was still in that same room at the inn, and that someone had lit the only candlestick. The quiet room was now basked in a dim, warm, yellow glow.
-''Yellow..!'' he thought, ''like those eyes...!''
The panic was starting to settle in his being, and gave a quick tug on his bindings, only to have them bite into his soft flesh.
Looking down to his feet, he actually had to blink a couple of times to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. No, he wasn't hallucinating; someone had stripped him of everything...
All his clothes, including his underpants, his dagger and his lute were missing.
AND HIS GOLD.
