Yes, we certainly need a distraction. I respect your bravery though. He thinks to Cemos.

Are there anything they would react too, like words in your tongue ? He thinks to Sarith.

Do any of you have magic, and if you do why haven't you used it ?

Cemos walks over to his chamber pot to drop a duce. And thinks aloud:if you would not mind averting your eyes so I can get some privacy

Dustin is a bit disgusted with the thought of being in mental contact with someone relieving themselves.

He averted his eyes just fine.

Cemos finishes up his business and rips a small pice off cloth off his pants to clean up with.

You don't have that much material left on your pants. You're already wearing less cloth on your bottom half than boxers.

Have we noticed any vulnerable times, sleeping time of the Drow, perhaps times when they look bored. When they let us out of the cages how do they do it ? Any little things we have noticed in this time that might help us.

Cemos realizing that he doesn't have much in the way of clothes to rip off, takes one end of the silk rope to clean himself with instead.

@Dustin, no you haven't noticed anything of that nature. The typical day is that they will come to the gate and announce a work party to come to the gate. When the party is assembled, they will open the gate (which opens in) and allow that work party out. During these times, the observing guards from the spire will come down and have their crossbows ready to shoot any runners. You aren't in individual cages (for clarity). You are in a single large chamber with a single gate.
Time Check: It has been roughly 15 minutes since the work party re-entered the slave pen.

how frequent are these work parties. Do I have any idea when our work detail will be called and how many guards total will there be when they open our gate?

OOC:
You go out once per day for about 7 hours. There is usually an hour or so between one party returning and another party being called out. Given that party 2 just returned (if I remember correctly), party 3 will be the next to go out. There are typically three guards when the gates are opened, but they are fully armed/armored. You are all chained to a long lead chain held by a quaggoth when you leave.

OOC:
and for those of us not familiar with a quaggoth. What exactly is it. I am assuming I have seen it several times over the past couple of days. Also have I noticed that the cage is opened with a key or something kind of mechanism?

OOC:
What you all know is that they are large and hunched over, and very strong. They seem to do whatever the drow tell them to do. You have seen them go into a murderous rampage at perceived slights. More than that, you'd need to throw a Nature skill check to know. The cage is opened with a key. It appears that all the guards have a key on them attached to their belts by a chain.

hey there drow. You were once a guard here right? cemos looks toward the dark elf in the cell with him.

Bildaweer sees the rope and hears the talk of causing a distraction. He walks over and mentions that he has a small jewel in his pocket. What about a bribe? Maybe approaching the scarred drow? He might be a vengeful fellow. Maybe we can convince him to do something for us to get back at the other?

A guard? Not hardly. A warrior among the drow, certainly. But I was not a prison guard, at least not for many years now. I was a runner and acquisition specialist. Sarith says, his tone getting continually more cowed with each interaction with all of you.
Nov 26, 2016 2:59 am
sarith do you think you would be able to control those massive beasts they hook our chains to?would it follow your commands?
Nov 26, 2016 4:20 am
Possibly. Though I doubt it. They do not leave me alone with the quaggoths. They apparently fear the idea you have. I will say, the idea has crossed my mind.
Nov 26, 2016 4:28 am
we might not have a choice. Sarith would you be willing to try and command the beast to turn on the guards with the crossbows? At the very least have it charge toward them. Just to give us enough time to subdue the guard that opens the gate.

The beast will not obey if there are armed drow nearby. The best bet for a foolish maneuver like that would be after the work party is split during their shift and the guard's attention is elsewhere.
