Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow

As you stretch your mind to remember the layout of the outpost, the only spot that ropes would be functional to avoid water is further south near to where Ront was killed. Anywhere else, you'll need to brave either the webs, the water, or both.

Bildaweer, you don't recall any particular bits of lore about this statue. However, you do know (because you are an U Ferrari denizen of a sort) that it's not uncommon for followers of Lolth to enchant integral shrine pieces to magically track thieves.

You get nothing at all from the small bone shrine. Not even a twinge of magic.

After about 10 minutes of effort, you manage to split up the amassed gear and make it back to the guard tower where you have set up a sort of command center. Adding the new loot to the ever growing pile of supplies, you see looks of appreciation and a sense that more than a few of your fellow former slaves are impressed you're still alive. Eldreth, careful to hold her tongue while you were nearer the temple, gives Cemos a large hug, followed by a hug to Dustin.

My appreciation lads. You've restored me to my arms and armor, and for that, I thank you. Now, to make our grand escape. What is the plan? We're armed enough we could easily take some of the spiders if it comes to it. We've enough cutting implements that we may be able to cut through the webbing and take a fall into the water below. From there, we should agree on an egress: north, west, or south? she says excitedly, the chance of getting out alive seeming to bolster her spirit.

Eldreth gains 2 Trust in your party. Sarith gains 1 Trust. Timing wise, you have about an hour until you believe there's a good chance more guards will be coming down to the pen to collect a work party. In that time, you'll need to make a few decisions:

1) Do you fight them or flee now
2) If you flee, how are you getting down
3) Once down (provided you survive the experience), which direction do you head

The NPCs will agree to anything you say at this point. Hash it out among the four of you (in or out of character, it doesn't matter to me) and let me know what your intended plan is. Once you 4 agree on a plan, we'll move forward (unless you run out the hour in game, and then you may have a surprise on your hands).
