OOC:
It’s not the guards who are yelling that, it is one of the prisoners. Sorry that wasn’t clear.

Hearing the screaming, Kerisha hesitates. She does not want to hurt innocent people, but she must protect her companions. The "THUNK" of Karma's hammer gives her the next target. She thrusts her sword toward her foe, hoping its another red cloak.

The combined effort of Karma and Kerisha is more than enough to strike down the cloaked man who lands sprawled on the floor next to his companion.

From the cell to the south side of the room a disheveled woman stands up and slowly walks towards the bars.

"Let us out, please!" she asks quietly.

Another younger woman is in the same cell and in the northern cell is a young male, petrified with fear, and seated again the far wall.
OOC:
You are each sitting at 700XP - not too much further to go until you hit level 3!
A quick look at the cells reveals simple locks on each.

Gerbo seeing the last enemy fall runs forward without hesitating to first unlock both cells. He has no trouble with the first, but the rusted locking mechanism of the second refuses to move. "Huh, that one's pretty old. Kerisha, would you mind breaking these nice people out for me?"

Kerisha strides over to the rusted lock and jams the hilt of her sword against the lock trying to break it off.
OOC:
Maybe one of the guards had a key....but Kerisha would just think smash it! lol

Gerbo's ego wouldn't let him consider that a key might work. Must be the lock, lmao.

With one lock successfully picked and the other smashed into rusty bits the cells are now free to open.

"Nars! Are you alright?" the woman asks, rushing across the room to the other cell to embrace the young man before he even has a chance to exit his cell. She looks over the young man and once satisfied he's relatively uninjured she lets out a relieved sigh and addresses her rescuers.

"I don't know how to thank you! My children and I have been in her for days. These bastards were going to sell us into slavery. Their boss is some wizard type who has some tall furry monsters with big ears working for him."

She goes on to tell the story of how the Redbrands had killed her husband earlier in the tenday for defying them and that they came back that night to abduct her and her two children.

"I can't offer much in the way of a reward, unless you're willing to travel to Thundertree."
OOC:
Neither guard had anything of value or a key to the locks.

Not finding anything useful on the guards Karma addresses the Lady, "You are welcome Dudette, happy we could help. Is there anything more you know about this Wizard?"
Jul 17, 2021 11:36 pm
"The name is Mirna and these are my children, Nars and Nilsa. We really don't know anything more than what I've told you. The guards talk of the wizard and the monsters would come and threaten us every few hours."

She pauses as tears start to well up in her eyes.

"Can you get us out of this place?"
Jul 18, 2021 4:25 pm
Kerisha stows her sword, not wanting to scare the prisoners. "I can lead you to exit to forest. There is farm house not far that is safe. Can you find your way back to Thundertree from there?"
Jul 18, 2021 4:39 pm
"Oh, we are not from Thundertree, we line in Phandalin. I grew up in Thundertree but fled when the town was overrun by undead. My family owned a alchemy shop there, and hidden beneath some of the storage shelves was a small case containing an emerald necklace. I'd like for you all to have it should you ever find yourself there, as I have nothing here to offer as a reward.."
OOC:
Mirna will gladly take Kerisha up on the offer to lead her out of the manor. We won't bother backtracking the way out in order to save time and assume that you have led her and her children to safety and pick things up right where we are.
Jul 18, 2021 5:00 pm
"Undead. That not right. If we find our way to Thundertree, we will investigate."
As they are leaving Kerisha will ask Mirna "Before you go, do you know which way wizard is?"
Jul 18, 2021 5:13 pm
Mirna shakes her head. "I've only heard mention of the wizard, I have not ever seen him. I'm sorry."

The boy, hearing the question waits for his mother to finish before adding. "When the guards thought we were sleeping I would hear them talk of talk of a secret entrance to "the boss'" room in a store room. I didn't hear anything else though."

Gerbo hears this and thinks for a second. "I think maybe we should check out the last door in the room we found the skeletons, then maybe look over the storage rooms again. What do you think?" posing the last question to no one in particular.
Jul 18, 2021 7:50 pm
Starting to like children more and more for their bravery and ingenuity, Kerisha gives the boy a toothy smile and offers a fist bump. "Stay safe"

"Gerbo. There is door in store room that leads to boss" She is starting to get excited about the opportunity of defeating this wizard.
OOC:
Haha posted the same time. Sounds like a plan to me!

At the mention of the Undead Karma simply states, "Undead mojo is not natural." He listens intently to the conversation and nods his agreement with Gerbo and Kerisha’s plan.
