Format: Whatever you wish
Summary: Sam wakes up
Warnings:

[Room 2-04] Sam hadn't thought he would ever open his eyes again, never mind feel a soft bed under him and his first thought was that it had truly all been a dream. Except he tried to move and he couldn't. For a terrifying moment he was stuck unable to even scream.

Then it was over and he sat up, the room was different than anything he had seen before, the clothing he wore clung to him. Had they somehow been rescued? It seemed like it would be an impossible feat, yet here he was. Alive. Somehow no longer on that mountain, and it did really seem possible he had dreamed it all up. Except where was he and where was Frodo?

He looked round the room, a room made for big folk, four beds including the one he had woken up in. "Samwise Gamgee, what have you gotten yourself into this time?"

[Hallways] Later, dressed in the ragged clothes he had found in his trunk he walked the hallways. Still not quite believing that this could be real, there was so much he didn't understand. "Mister Frodo?" He called as he walked, because if he was alive. If he had been saved then surely they had saved Frodo as well.

"Mister Frodo?"

[Staircases] Sam wasn't quite ready to step out onto any of the odd places he could see around them, but carefully continued to walk downwards, wondering how far down this place could go, and what other strange things he would see. He walked carefully, stopping every now and again to shake his head in disbelief at the things he saw.

Thorin looked behind to make sure the hobbit hadn't got lost or fallen behind. It often happened when he was on their journey, always looking out for Bilbo, who often lagged behind.

"It seems these floors are empty. Perhaps, we can find somewhere to eat and drink soon. My stomach does not appreciate all these stairs."

[undroppedeaves]

"According to one of the people in my room we can get food on the bottom floor, so we have to go down for it." He went to continue down the staircase, since that was the right way anyways.

[sonof_thrain]

"Is that so?" Thorin raised an eyebrow at Sam's words. "Then we should proceed to the bottom floor with caution. I wonder how many stairs we will have to descend to find this food."

[undroppedeaves]

"A lot I would say." Sam continued walking, "A hundred floors is a lot."

[sonof_thrain]

"Aye. Too many if you ask me. Why did they build so many rooms and floors into this place? To hold all of us captive?" He shot a look to Sam. He had hardly explored any of it yet. Just a fraction.

[undroppedeaves]

Sam shrugged, "Apparently yes. I'm not sure how many of us there are though."

[sonof_thrain]

"Who knows. I would not like to think how many captives this place may hold." The thought made the dwarf king fill with dread.

[undroppedeaves]

"I'm not sure I want to know either but I think we will find out soon." After all if there was more than one floor of rooms there was bound to be many people here.

[sonof_thrain]

"Why don't we search each floor we come across and seek some sort of way out? A window or door to each level. There must be something like that here."

good place to stop?

[undroppedeaves]

"That sounds like a good plan." Sam nodded, it might take a long time but he was prepared for that, they would find a way out soon enough.
