It's been nearly 2 hours since you heard about the option to escape. Stool has kept you all spored as you seemed to all be talking and planning. Waiting on Bildaweer/wpw1856 to post regarding the plan before Jorlan returns. :) The other NPCs have not approached you, and Stool ensured that they weren't spored. If you want to coordinate with any of them, let me know.

Thank You. I think we should discuss things with the others after all they are going to see all the activity going on. Dustin will try to see what team everyone wants to be on or what ideas his fellow prisoners have.

Buppido
When you approach the derro man, his whiskers twitch into a smile. Escaping! Absolutely! Count me in to assault whichever area is most fortified. Put a sword in my hand and I'll see them fall in battle for the glory of Diinkarazan!
Derendil
The massive quaggoth replies mentally in a cultured voice. Yes, I will gladly help you escape. Then I can finally return to Nelrindenvane! Terrestor will pay for his arrogance in turning me into this vile polymorph.
Eldreth
As if you even need to ask. Arm me and set me against them. The dwarf's anger is evident at her incarceration. She rubs at the edge of the manacles, still not happy to have put back in them, even if only with strings.
Jimjar
Ahhh yes, what are the odds we win you think?
Sarith
Ahhh yes. Freedom. But why do you trust me, I thought I was the 'bad man' and a 'vile dark dwelling scum'? Either way, once we are shot of here, I have no reason to stay with you. I may as well take my freedom instead of being a sacrifice to Lolth.
Shuushar
I will not stand in your way, but neither will I take up arms. So long as I don't have to hurt anyone, I am with you.
Topsy & Turvy
Yes! Please get us out of here, and away from that nutter! Topsy says quickly, pointing at Jimjar across the room.

Dustin was surprised by some of the responses but mostly pleased. If Sarith wouldn't cry out it would be better. To the others.
Were going to have three teams. The first objective is to take the tower across from our prison. That is something we can all do and if we haven't been decieved everyone should find some weapons there to arm themselves. Then two other teams will make their way to the cafeteria since we will need food and clean water, the other will try to find the items that were taken from us. Your majesty Derendil I think your strength would be very useful in helping with the food. Any who are quiet and quick can join on the effort in the other tower. Shuushar we wont need you to fight but we will need your help in the water below. Can we count on you to help those having a hard time swimming ? Jim Jar as for odds hmmm probably stacked against us but we have a hell of a good reason for fighting with every ounce we have. So five to one I would say.
Eldrith we could use a warrior on our attempt to get your hammer so why don't you come with my team.

I wonder if Jorlan would poison the guards in the guard tower for us? Or poison at least some of them for us?
Dec 3, 2016 9:11 pm
Well he mentioned a distraction so here's to hoping the tower has none or only a few guard. I doubt he will do more then that for us. You might have been right about him doing this as some kind of revenge but I am sure he doesn't want to trade places with Sarith.

Seems we wouldn't want to linger about after escaping and it would be awful to have one team caught, outnumbered and outmatched. Perhaps splitting everyone up should hinge on what we find in the guard tower?

Mystical Magical Handwavy Time Passage
As you all sit in the slave pen, all of you somewhat twitchy with anticipation, you've done your best to appear normal. No guards have come to the door, and no guards have left the tower. As you sit, Jorlan walks up to the gate, looking around himself slightly. Hey all of you! Settle down in there! You go ahead and fight like that, we'll just let you go ahead and die! He yells out, masking the sound of him sticking his key in the lock and turning the heavy bolt. He holds a finger up in the middle of his chest, and he spins and runs up the ramp to the guard tower. You see him making some small motions and then pointing back over at the general area of the barracks. The two guards look at one another and one runs off. The other heads into the tower.
A moment passes and Jorlan follows him. Less than 30 seconds later, he emerges alone, wiping something on his leg. A single arm waves, and he's down the ramp, headed toward the rest of the outpost.

I don't trust him, but this may be our only chance. Go now! I run out the gate toward the tower.
