Ear Cutting Begins
"No, sir, we must act in haste! All of you- throw your weapons off the cliff, and line up against the metal grill, away from the door, with both hands elevated!"
"We don't have a timepiece, so we'll just start cutting off ears, and hopefully you'll be done before we are!"
"Every second you take disfigures your friends just that much more. Ears don't take that long to remove, neither."
They begin cutting off Azoth's and Thaka's right ears. Thick nasty head blood begins to run down the sides of Az and Thak. The knives aren't too far away from the throats still... it's highly unlikely you can get to them or get spells off before they'd have time to cut the throats wide open.
