( yes, you have time to attune to it as well and i figure she will do so. )

As she sits with the maul the ruines light up. As she attunes to it, she comes to understand its capabilities.

( I did message player what it can do that way its a surprise when its used.)

Katril will pass on what she knows of the guards movements. She has a good idea the guards between the caves and the groups cells, but doesn't know the situation in the general holding cells for those forced to work in the mines.

Were any of us prisoners transferred from the regular cells?

Human cleric was for a little while but once they realized she could mend wounds they put her in scouting cells.

The two twins : were to be traded off at a nice price back to the slavors who would most likly trade for them had left a few days before the twins were captured. The army knew the slavers would not be back for a few weeks so a trade til then was not possible. So they imstead of putting them to manual labor and losing value, they figured they would show more value if they survived scouting missions. So they also spent perhaps a day or two until they were transferred out of general population holding area.

Intelligence mod roll or wisdom roll to recall any key info of when you were in general population block.

( just to clarify its name for inmate section of where most inmates are held within a prison . )

[harknail]

Intelligence roll: JQcYCLk2p_1-20+1 = 14

And since she was specifically looking for this in the first place, perception roll: p_1-20+7 =151-20�1-20

(I would say she can definitely tell he has a lot of rage and anger built up over something. While it's certainly weighing down on him, it also seems to be the major factor that is driving him forward. Seeing the elves, though, really shocked him and wiped away that anger in a heartbeat. It's still there, just buried once more.)

Varis gives a small nod, as he hands over the weapon.

"Y'all seem quite the capable group. We can use the help."

[kaia]

" That is what I am going to try to do is help...." She bends down a little closer "Are you okay?"

[mighty]

Varis is momentarily caught off guard by the question, but quickly returns to his guarded self. Clearly his moment earlier had attracted more than Omar's attention. He would need to reign in his anger, he could not let it get the best of him just yet.

"You need not worry about me. I shall be fine. There is a task I must see done, nothing will stop me from getting there."

[kaia]

"Very well...." Arianna walks away and practices a few swings to get a feel for it even more 

[harknail]

Katril's describes the layout, "The main cellblocks have 60 cells per layer, each with 8 joining cell blocks, though not all are full. I think there are about 300 people there. The cell blocks connect to one of 3 garrison stations, portcullis between the garrison and each cellblock, the hallways that connect the garrisons, and the exits. The first garrison has an exit that leads to a checkpoint that's the entrance of the prison aria. The third garrison has a exit to the caves, where the mining is done. The second garrison has a locked desk, no idea what they keep there. Each cell is about 10 by 10. Except during meals, the cells sink into pits, isolating the prisoners. There's a grate that closes in the cell that closes off the pit when it's closed. Only one person per cell."

"The cell block holding the scouts is a bit different, 45 cells, for 5 teams of 5 each. And we're kept shackled while not scouting. Oh and the cells block magic, even magic items don't work in the cell."

"When passing though the garrisons, I've seen some extra armor and weapons, so it seems that is their armory as well. Since there aren't any solid doors between them, and fights would be heard in the next garrison. Most of the guards don't look that tough, though they are enough to handle most unarmed prisoners. Each garrison has a couple in charge that look tougher than the rest."

"Finally, there are 4 guards waiting for us at the entrance of the cave we were sent to scout. They expect us back in 5 days, but we were were planning on staging a cave in to explain why we didn't return while escaping to get more help. But since you're here, maybe we don't need to get out after all."

[kaia]

"Also to add on to what Katril is saying... the infirmary is lowly secured and I might be able to grab some healing potions cause they have them locked in chests" 

[Maddt Spladdt]

"I'm pretty sure my people would be ready to act if we sprung enough of them at one time," Kizthe says, "but the guards are pretty well organized, and we'd need to do something to keep them from effectively dealing with a mass release...assuming we could make that happen in the first place." She looks at Katril. "I'm still pretty set on faking our deaths, unless we're going to make this all happen pretty soon and all at once. You guys were in there for long enough to know what they're like, but maybe not long enough to know how efficient they are about reprisals..."

[harknail]

Katril bows towards Kizthe while saying, "I yield to your superior experience. I do not want others to be injured due to our actions."

Dm quick update note : ( None of pcs have keys to the chests she was talking about in the infirmery at this time. You would have options in how to open them if thats what you wish to go for, yet just wanted clear as of right now no actual keys on hand to open them with. It would be known the deputies, the garason leaders and warden would most likly have the keys to open them.)

In case I did not get chance to post tomorrow wanted to wish all my players who celebrate Thanksgiving, a happy and safe Thanksgiving to you & your family's.

Also give i have 4 days off i do need a group consensus asap. You have the extent of two plans. Tho it takes a few hrs of work to make maps.

Something i have been thinking about : whether or nor if its easier on players if we resplit into 2 gourps. that is always a possible thing given the amount of players we have.

Omar to the parry :
" Well if we are putting all our options on the table. we do have one other thing we could also do. Yet it does requite we fake the deaths first to ease the time table aspect. So after we fake your deaths a friend of ours told us a legendary tail. It was said that a vault hidden with these Mts made by the Ironheart clan before it was take over. We dont have much to go on to find it however it could still be possible to find its location. Im not saying not to rescue the slaves im all for that but perhaps whats in that vault could help us and them excape easier.

Im not one for fame or fortune yet if there is gear in there that could help make our task easier it maybe worth it to at very least take a shot at finding it and whats inside."

Thieves tools and the skill the use them can take care of that. Katril is carrying a spare set of lock picks for her brother, who is skilled with picking locks from our time on the streets.

As for faking our deaths, we aren't expected back for 4 more days, so there is no rush on that. If we think we need more time, then definitely do that!

Katril is open to Omar's suggestion. It's has a better chance than trying to get enough help from her monastery.

( Oh absolutely you can try to pick them, I was just clarifying that currently party did not have keys to them or the desk in Garason 2.)

[messiahmoose]

Wind is game for the vault and will blow the cave whenever you need him to. 

Though he cannot hide his annoyance at having spells tailored for a prison break and having plans change again. 😬🥴

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

( Omar is in simular boat. Yet just wanted all the options on the table so that parry knew what the actual solid plan/option party was ultimately going with.


So far from what i understand has been decided is the facking of deaths with main idea of that being a cave in.

So ill plan a map for that not necessarily for combat wise just so that im 100% on what gaurds see from thier prospective and that dm know were the cave in starts where parrty members are when it gets set off etc. )
