The first thing you feel upon waking up is a throbbing pain in the back of your skull. As your senses and balance return, your memory seems to remain elusive for the moment. All you know is that there is currently a sack over your head, and someone very large is standing behind you, roughly pushing you forward and grunting, encouraging you, somewhat roughly, to keep moving.
Your wrists are tied behind your back, and you hear muffled cries coming from your left. Whatever is going on, one thing is obvious. You are a prisoner, and something tells you that whatever happens next, you're not going to like it.
Suddenly, you and whoever is being forced along next to you are brought to a halt, and forced down onto your knees. You hear a voice announce. "This meeting of the Court of the Council of Five will now come to order. Remove their bags."
The sack covering your head is lifted, and you see before your five people, three men and two women, sitting behind a long polished wooden table in front of you. Each of them is dressed in dark, regal robes, almost like a judge. "Where am I?" You say "What's happening?"
One of the robed figures answers "We shall deal with you after your escort." You look over to see the other prisoner beside you, and see it is someone you recognize.
