Gworgi stands at the top of the maze walls near the middle of the arena, and Mazdu stands near at the edge of the arena spotting Gworgi standing on the wall of the arena you watch him throw down a rope and tie it to something and shortly after A man follows, "That's My father!" Kira says excitedly.
OOC:
Realized I wasn't clear about how a skills challenge works.

Essentially each PC participating in the challenge has a turn rolling a skill roll at the DC using whatever they can to help them succeed. Each succuss pushes them towards an eventual goal, each failure brings them closer to some fateful mishap that results in failure.

In this case the Involved PC's are Mazdu and Gworgi, working towards the eventual goal of coming together and freeing Edgin and his partners from the cuffs.
Each PC can choose any skill (that has not yet been used) and describe how that skill is relevant to their actions towards their goal.
Then we'll take a pause in between rounds (as with combat, more on that later) where I'll describe everything that has happened that round towards or away from the goal and then the next round begins and players describe their new actions.

I'm not particular about the order you each go in, and it doesn't really matter if it switches up.

Securing the hook tightly, Gworgi shouts down at his companions, and they began climbing, one by one, getting away from the trap below. But now there was still no telling where the exit was. They couldn't simply walk along the walls. He looked at the maze from the top-view vantage point. This was going to have to be done the hard way. "Okay, serious time now. You follow Gworgi, but stay at distance. Gworgi sneaky. You and cupcake, not so sneaky."

Before the beefy woman could retaliate, Gworgi jumped off the other side, and began navigating his way as best as he could remember from the view up top. Moving quickly and stealthily.
OOC:
Okay, so 2 rolls out of 4 here attempting to complete the story. He's using Survival as a way to guide them out, and using Stealth as a way to avoid enemies and give them better odds of making it out.

EDIT: Of course nat 1, LOL.

Gworgi hears Mazdu and his ears perk up with excitement, for the first time in a while he knows where he's going, Mazdu was with Kira last time they saw each other and they were going to gt keys perhaps anyway bring father to Kira.

Knowing where he was supposed to be going Gworgi started off, the path wasn't that complicated.

He hears the snap of multiple crossbows firing and behind him a cry of pain from Simon, Simon had barely been hurt when they'd met up but now he saw the barbarian picking up Simon and carrying him, doing their best to keep up with Gworgi
OOC:
2 Success

"Gworgi hear someone! Hurry!" But that idiot "wizard" took a shot and now cupcake had to carry him. He slowed down and let Edgin run ahead of him, his eyes and ears looking about at for the crossbowmen, calling out where the shots came from, and taking the hits for the others if necessary.

Females love bravery and scars. Yes yes, Gworgi will be hero.
OOC:
Being a spotter for them, and will jump in the way of oncoming fire in the hope that the others can make it and survive.

EDIT: Who knew that DC 15 was this difficult, urgh.

"The Lord sent us in to tell you that the games have been put on pause and the players are to be let go!" Shouts Mazdu at the attackers with the crossbows. "It's why we were let in!"
As he says this he also attempts create a distracting spark/light show with prestidigitation.

Some of the crossbows stop firing, perhaps they're the religious ones perhaps they're the ones who saw you perform earlier it's unclear but that opens up an opportunity for Gworgi to make it the rest of the way to the edge of the arena.

There is one sharpshooter who you didn't confuse however, and he takes careful aim and looses an arrow in Kira's direction at first it isn't clear why, but when the arrow strikes the keys she holds in her hand it becomes obvious. They fly backwards into a Gelatinous cube and Immediately start dissolving.

Edgin looks from Kira to the keys from Simon to the Barbarian woman and, then says one thing. "Run, we can deal with getting free later."
