Tobias stands, shaking his head. He looks around for one to give him a hand with his manacles. "If you all are dead set in getting killed right away, I want to be able to help the best I can." He sneers as he looks over and passed the orc, and decides on the quaggoth. "Prince Drrendil, was it? Would you mind giving me a hand with these?"

“I think a time to strike is now, the longer we take that demon woman can come back and corrupt us or worse”
Verim will start breaking the legs of the furthest bench for improvised weapons as not to arouse too much noise from the guards outside the gate.

He will turn to Topsy and Turvy and Stool
“Are you ready for this? Stay with the bigger one’s do you hear me? Who knows what will happen, I will try and ensure your safety, Eldeth can you handle yourself also? If so stick with a group”
Persuasion Check23
Verim will wrap the silk rope around the hilt of his new weapon for grip, his eyes burning more fiery than before, the snake starting to squirm, Verim takes off his shirt and wraps it into a turban on his head, grips the makeshift weapon in his hand, tucks it into the back of his trousers
”Do you want me to start and argument or do you just want to cause the distraction?“
Tobias manages to break his shackles with the help of the large Quaggoth. It seems that two large creatures pulling on chains is better than one.
The group continues to look confused. Ront, Eldeth, Buppido and JimJar each step forwards.
WIth a struggle, Verim snaps a leg off one of the benches with a loud crack. Going off Verim’s lead, Buppido and Eldeth both Male their way towards the bench and do the same.
Buppido 10
Eldeth 19
Eldeth manages to break off a leg for herself. Buppido keeps attempting to break one of the legs but keeps failing.
Shuushar begins to talk “Agree with Tobias I do. Wait for the right moment we must”
El speaks up after inspecting the lock, "Actually I might be able to pick this, otherwise I'll get into position for faking my escape, any larger manacles around I can grab?"
After the crash El sighs and moves to the back but in the direct line of sight for anyone looking into the cell. "Nevermind, well start making a ruckus people, and for all our sake hide the weapons and get on either side of the door."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Verim stands on the far right of the cell, clustering Stool, Topsy, Turvy, and himself to where the bench was, concealing his weapon behind his back, one hand grasped, he looks towards El and Tobias.
(Telepathically)
“I’m so sorry, hide your weapons, I’ll accept the blame, if I can I’ll try and persuade them it was my doing alone, as it was, I’ll try and say it’s for my god as a shrine, they will only know the extent once they are fully in the cell, forgive me”
Verim will lie down where the bench once stood on his back to hide his weapon, put his hands on his eyes and start to chant as if in a frenzy. If guards do enter Verim will try and deceive them in him becoming mad, he sighs as it’s all his fault but aiding a stranger is a lesson his mother once taught, he will bide the sacrifice to aid others.
El starts moving about in the oversized manacles both to hide their loose fitting and to appear to be trying to escape them (Performance 23 if necessary)
"A coin! This one has a coin! How dare you hide it from the rest of us! It deserves to be split!" Gnarls yells. He walks over toward the door. "Ow! Don't bite me! You'll lower my value and cost me my life! Guard, come silence this one lest your priestesses property get damaged"
Performance: 14
Gnarl steps back out of sight of tower and will ready a Grapple if the guard comes far enough in
(OOC - Is Gnarls planning on grappling a guard with his hands or by using the chains?)
OoC:My plan was a normal grapple after raging as a bonus action if you'll allow that as part of my readied action and getting someone to jam my shirt in his mouth
Listening to all this Shishakli readies himself for the guards to approach. He's no good with his fists, but when it comes to life and death he'll throw himself at a guard and try to tackle them, though he'll definitely try to hit a guard that someone else is already attempting to grapple as well, knowing that small folk can easily be out matched in a battle of pure strength. Hiding behind some of the others ready to pounce he waits. stealth7
Tobias backs away from the door as the guards approach. "I hope you know what you're doing here, little one," he sends to the mind of Gnarls. He follows suit with the halfling, kneeling down and ripping a small patch of cloth from his pants.
He looks back to the group holding out the pipe. "Someone quick! Who can make use of this?!" he broadcasts to everyone.
(Will assist Gnarls, or if there is a second guard, attempt a grapple.)
Looking through the gate you see two guards (Drow 1 & Drow 2) making their way to your side of the bridge, the third guard (Drow 3) has made his way onto the bridge but is staying back slightly.
One of the closer guards shouts out “What’s going on in there? Hurry up Zarphnir! It’s the biggest key on the chain!”
El brings their act up and starts to 'free' one hand as the guards approach, pretending to be so engrossed in the task that they don't notice as they reach the gate (once the guards see them they will actually 'free' that hand) "Cmon... Cmon!"
(OOC - The bench legs can be broken off with a strength check. They can be used as improvised weapons)
The group of prisoners stand unsure of what to do, waiting for someone else to chip in.

"Torm save me," Tobias glowers as the sudden crash of wood echoes through the cell. "Well, that sure would have done it!" he hisses at Verim.
"It appears 'must' is now," the half-orc replies to Shuushar as he moves to the door to the cell to see if the tower guards are coming to investigate.
El speaks up after inspecting the lock, "Actually I might be able to pick this, otherwise I'll get into position for faking my escape, any larger manacles around I can grab?"
After the crash El sighs and moves to the back but in the direct line of sight for anyone looking into the cell. "Nevermind, well start making a ruckus people, and for all our sake hide the weapons and get on either side of the door."
There is some movement from the guards around the tower across the bridge.
