[edit] Intro
You can feel yourself open to your eyes, but still cannot see anything. All around you, you can hear deep, guttural laughter, splintered crunching sounds and deep, sloppy slurps. You can tell that you are in a seated position, arms bound. Something warm and wet hits you on the side of the face and slides slowly into your lap. Your head is swimming, as waves of differing, but equally horrid, emotions crash through your mind. The noises around you stop and you hear a crackling voice:
"Quiet down you filth! Our guest is awake."
[edit] Act 1 - Dark Meat
The scene before you slowly fades into view. You are seated at a long black banquet table. A savage feast has been laid out, consisting of rotting meats, some with hair still on it, some with too many eyes, too many tentacles, or a hand with five fingers. The grotesque culinary spread is flanked by a collection of slathering shadow beasts. Some pause in mid chomp to stare at you. At the head of the table, A large Shadow creature sits, its head covered in a black hood, its red eyes piercing toward you.
"Welcome friend." The voice has a bit of a mocking tone and seems unfamiliar with this sort of jovial phrase, the kind of voice that would sound much more at home screaming, "Seize them!"
"You and your dead friends destroyed two of my very precious Broadcasters. This is a minor setback but, as you can imagine, an irritating one. So, it leaves me with two choices: I can kill you, but that won't bring my Broadcasters back, or I can use your considerable talents. Of course, I won't expect you to work for nothing. I have an offer that I think you will find difficult to refuse."

[edit] Act 2 - Nightmare Warriors
"Wonderful!" Fazar claps for you, "I knew you wouldn't disappoint. So, what do you say? Join the Shadows?" Before you can answer crashing sounds, avian cries and screams pour from the dining chamber. You follow the sounds to see that the room has been overrun and a detachment of Orzayan Dream Walkers have stormed the room and are tearing into the Shadows with spears, beaks and claws. One of them sees you and, before you can say anything, glides toward you with a familiar Squawk.

[edit] Act 3 - Frenzy
The battle has driven the Shadow Beasts into a frenzy. They are screaming with bloodlust, attacking Dream Warriors and each other with abandon. Across the room, Fazar is dueling with a large Orzayan. Its plumage and intricate armor appear to mark it as a leader. Before you can make your way to them, something knocks you to the ground.
