Shake considers, "Well I wouldn't mind earning some coin, but I'd be happy to simply be out of this cage. If you work for Balek, might as well keep me in here, he'll never let me go. But on the other hand, if you are as you say, independant from Balek, then let me free and I will promise to help you with whatever it is you were hired to do. I won't even charge you a coin. But be warned, Balek will not be happy with my liberation."
Talien now seeing the prisoner says to him with red eyes, If you harm my friends I will kill you. They are the only friends I have now. My place is by them. He draws his sword as Rees picks the lock. He looks at her and his eyes glow purple and then back to orange and settle on red as the door is opened.
"Sorry...tricky lock. Guess they prefer you in a cage. Maybe that bugbear had a key or something?" Rees steps back from the cage and will head back to check the bodies of the bugbear and goblins unless someone stops her.

You don't see a key hanging anywhere, but you spot a wooden chest in the northeast corner of the room. It is unlocked and contains a set of clothing, some instruments, and some traveling gear. Perhaps it belongs to your new friend?
After seeing Rees try the lock Shake says to her, "Lovely lady, may I have a try with that lock pick. My years playing instruments as a famous and renowned bard has given me very nimble fingers. I have been told that they are very talented. Perhaps my nimble fingers will get lucky." Shake winks suggestively.

Assuming Rees gives you the pick go ahead and roll please

"Yeah, no. A lock pick is a lot different than an instrument. They're very delicate tools that not just anyone can use. If you've never been trained, you're as likely to make things worse as to free yourself. We'll figure something else out."

"I can try," she says, sighing softly. "You'd be our third bard, friend. They don't have the best luck in our company."
Rees will try to pick the lock

Indeed... You find the lock to be somewhat troublesome as your mind wanders to Arxius....

Talien, don't you have a crowbar in your pack? Maybe you can pry that lock hasp open.
Looking around - unless Balek keeps the key simply hanging on a peg Mayberry-style?
