Ch 2.3 The Jail Brake

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

The pary heads North. With a few days travel still ahead of them.

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

( Does the party want to go the main path to the Prision or use the side tunnals on the map you have? )

"Dwarven traps and pit falls are not my forte and a disguised entry might still work, but if any think you can get us through the tunnels safely now would be the time to say it"

[messiahmoose]

Wind repeats, “Dwarven traps and pit falls are not my forte.”

Omar : Nor are they mine.

Yet we would need a plossable reason to enter into the main gate of the Prison to even stand a chance in helping and not being captured ourselfs.

I'm not a great lier myself, however i can use spells to make who of us is good at talking with more confidence.

Helping them in the distrorting of our real intent how ever that maybe.

If we go the : we get ourselfs captured they will take all our gear, magic gear and is a major risk we might not beable to find it all again or excape.

The good thing is i can hide the sword in the haversack. Now if they ever ask us to open it i have no idea if they could reach in and get it out or not. So best hide the sack too if we can.

We still have the sand monsters sandwaggon looking like it did.

We do know they possibly were expecting a delivery. So perhaps we give them one with some flare to it.

If we can keep up an illusion of a captive or make one of us look like a captive and one of us or some of us mercenaries it could be quite convincing display. I can once per 8 hrs look like something else.

To top it off tho, can any of us forge tranfer orders ?

If so we at the very least can get in get some out. "

[at]

"I suppose if we don't go through the tunnel we won't know where it emerges within the prison. That would limit our choices getting back out again"

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Omar : " Well i do need to know what plan of attack we are going with. So that i can prepare my spells accordingly. The two very different approaches means it will be hard to change my spells til tomorrow once i set them today. So i would like us to be sure what one we are going with. Time might become a factor

Simply put I only have about an hr until they are set to my defult ones, not sure how that works but if i dont start praying soon, I will just be given out what would be a set solection. Spells that are cleric spells but ones i did not pick.

It's way harded to cast spells your not fully sure of regaurgless of when."

Omar gets out a small object. It had glass in the middle. On tge sides housing the glass within are wood carving of wildlife. some the party has never seen but perhaps heard of tails of.

In the center of the wooden sides sits the glass. It has a wide rounded glass bigest and widest at the top. Yet as they looked at it the glass got slimer and narrower. If they looked very hard at the center it was just able to be connecting to the middle. From that point it was the same as the top only reverse. Narrow in the middle and wider at the top. Green sand lay inside at the bottem without it leaking out of the glass.



When I flip this over it starts the countdown i have until last grain of green sand goes from top to bottem.

Wind says, in a strange, older, male voice. “Paper. Slate.”

When provided with it, he begins to write. I can be ox horse or camel good costume can costume land also tunnels IN prison may be better I change my vote

[messiahmoose]

Wind, in one way or another, gets across the idea that he has access to the following: capabilities. 
Escaping from bonds (or other)
Charming a beast and using it to scout
Improving our stealth
Getting a stranger to help us for the duration
Disguising a land feature

Walking alongside the others, Varis listens to their various ideas. The direct approach filled with deceit and many ways for things to go wrong, or the stealthy approach with many ways for things to go wrong. Neither option would be easy. but it was a task they needed to complete.

"I've personally had enough with tunnels for a lifetime, but I don't like the idea of possibly being separated from our gear and locked up as slaves ourselves. That is one fate I will not allow. The tunnels may be our best bet, unless you are truly confident that you could deceive them Callo. I don't think the rest of us would be any good talking our way in, so that responsibility lies with you. We'll play whatever roles necessary to aid you. I'm no expert with the dwarves love of tunneling, nor do I understand it, but I can do my best to get us through them. I've had to navigate strange environments for survival my entire life. We keep our gear for certain this way, we find a second way out of the mines, and hopefully take out some isolated guards along the way. Of course, we run the risk of anything that might call them home. Regardless, it might be good to investigate the tunnels even if we decide to go through the front door, make sure they haven't been caved in or sealed in any way."

[at]

"Talking our way in? Yes. Out with the slaves is a different matter."

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Omar flips the glass device " Well my time has started. Like i explained we have til last green bit of sand goes from the top to the bottem. The sand starts to poor into the bottem. At a gradual speed.

[at]

"Well then, I guess we should at least give the caves a chance. If they prove unnavigable we can rest and return to our original plan"

[mighty]

"Agreed. We can check out the caves, see what lies within and make our move from there."

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Omar: Very well I will prepare my spells accordingly then, however please don't try and move the Turner once its set down. I'ts stuck there until its ether out of sand from the top or im done praying. Somehow it know in ether case.

I know this cause one day I was in the middle of praying and I tried to move it. Will all my strength even with spells on myself it would not budge. Then only moved when i was finished. Then i tried next day not picking at all waited and when i had my random spells it then was able to move but not before then. So i do my best to not wait too long before praying for spells per day.

Yet it seames it easy to lose track of time out here. Anyway time to prepare." He then begins to draw animal glypyhs in the sand as he prays.

[mighty]

Varis nods as Omar sits down to prepare his spells, turning to keep an eye out to ensure nothing came across them unprepared.

Not much seams to stir in the time that passes. Soon Omar is ready and prepared. He then lifts the turner and when he dies it has seamed to rest itsself.

" Well i was able to ask for the ones that will be most helpfull. Had we delayed longer time would not have been as kind to us.

Im happy we came to a consensus when we did.

the sun will at somepoint begin to burn out faces and skin so best get inside yet we need to find the entrances. i assume they are well hidden and climing without knowing where they are would be folly. "

He gets out the map and looks to see where the entrances on the mt side that would lead inword of the mt range.

We should look for clues or marks of some kind.

Investigation checks

Do note : perception would in this case just see the rock faces as all the same.

With no clear place to start Callo sends out her familiar to investigate, peering at the map for any clues.
