Ash frowns at the simplicity of Talik's crime. "A bucket? Really? That's it?" Theres a pause in thought before she frowns. "These drow suck. Anyway... You mentioned a Him? Who are you referring to?"
There's another pause as Ash adjusts how she is sitting with a slight wince and offers a smile. "As for the mind thing? I'm not sure. I suppose there is someone here allowing it to happen? But I'm not going to take it for granted. Better to have a vocal means of communication in case our mental link gets cut off."
Ash nods, sensing Talike's discomfort about the topic. "What's the plan? Although it may be best to discuss later. With all the others?" Ash nibbles her bottom lip in thought before being unable to help herself. "This voice you hear... When did it start? Did anything else come with it? Powers? Markings?"
"Look, I know we're trapped here, but I really don't want to share my life story right now... Anyway, if we were able to jump into the pool of water that I fell into we might be able to swim to shore and run away. We could also try to organize some sort of riot, but I don't think we'd be able to take out all of these drow without weapons. Do you have any ideas?"
Talike continues to deflect any questions about the voice she may or may not be hearing.
Ash raises an eyebrow. "How would we all get to that pool. I managed to find myself something when I was brought here, but one thing wont help all of us. I suppose if we take one out, free any divine magic people of their cuffs and the cage, then maybe we could get more weapons from the dead?"
Ash seems a little skeptical of Talike's diversion but shrugs it off, still not having moved too far off the wall. With her stubbornness to move comes the slight burning on her back and a roll of the eyes to some unknown being, Ash's reactions clearly visible to Talike.

When Duke eventually finished its work, the unit is less back to the others by a pair of Drow. The drow attempt to shove the Warforged in the cell, but it's rather difficult, since Duke is roughly half a foot taller than the tallest drow and has maybe 100 pounds on them, as it's made of metal. The unit does them a favor by walking back in and sparing the guards their dignity. Once back in, the unit opens a hole originally intended for vacuuming trash and dust and sucks in the spores from Stool. It telepathically communicated what it learned to Svana.
"Declaration: This unit detected a life form in the water where it was working. While this unit was unable to discern the type of creature, it is unlikely that the creature is non-aggressive. Hypothesis: The Drow would likely not take action if notified of this. Secondary Declaration: The Dwarf known as Eldeth is deceased. This unit attempted to warm her about the low chances of success in assaulting a Drow guard, but she still carried out said action. Motives for doing so are at this time unknown to the unit."
And then it grabs Svanas manacle and begins pulling the part that's on her wrist, helping her in her attempt to shake her arm free.
After the intense battle to save his brethren from the Drow, Ronnal, arrived unconscious and badly wounded. His body covered in dirty rags, what isn't covered show many scars. Some fresh some old. His skin tone a light gray color, his head bald and his beard braided into a single large braid. After waking up he took to a corner not speaking to anyone and began meditating. There he sat unless the drow dragged him for the daily labors. Even then he didn't talk to anyone.

Ash waves her hand dismissively with a slight smile. "I'm fine. There were just some... complications... with my job. I suppose it was a joke though. The job, not the beating." She glances over to Duke as he enters, listening for a minute before looking back to Talike. "Is that the same water you were referring to?"

Phineas moves in behind Duke, seething from the day’s drama and dwarf’s death. He sees Ash and Talike, injured and speaking to each other. He scans the pen looking for Huey. Once the guards have lost interest in them he moves over to check on Ash and Talike. “Are you ok?” he asks with true concern in his voice. He then tells them what happened to Eldreth while motioning Huey their way. “We need to get you all freed as well. I’ll keep watch.”

When Amara returns to the pen, having done well with the buckets despite her arm, she breathes a brief sigh of relief upon seeing Talike there. However, as the others return without Eldeth, she infers what happened and risks murmuring a quick prayer in Elven when the guards aren't paying attention to her, wishing the dwarf's soul a speedy journey to her afterlife.
Ash studies Phineas for a moment before looking down at the manacles. "I... May have my own way out of these... let me think... Although a lookout is very helpful." There's a pause before she speaks again. "Although we should wait until everyone is together. No need getting caught before everyone is here..."

At some point during the clean up, Enkindle makes a face over the stench. Until finally she pauses long enough to bark at one of the drow warriors, "Just what in the nine do you even feed these ****ers? Their own shit? Yours? Rotting vegetables?"

"Yes, that is the water I was referring to. I didn't see anything in it though. Unless you're talking about me."
When the others return, Talike continues.
"I think it's pretty obvious that we all want out of here, but if we're going to get out we need a plan. Jumping into the water is probably not a good idea. Does anyone have any other ideas?"
ENKINDLE: One of the drow looks at you, annoyed. “Shut up, scum. Keep cleaning, or we’ll feed you to the spiders.” To emphasis his point, you take fist to the fist. “Dumb wench.” He mumbles as he walks back go the entrance.
When meal time rolls around, Duke gives the portion that it would receive to Ash. "Declaration:This unit does not require food. But flesh-based humanoid lifeforms do.

"I'm not entirely sure who He is. It doesn't matter. What matters is that I may have found a way out of here."
When she realizes that Ash may be talking about a different voice, Talike quickly (and very obviously) tries to change the subject.
Ash nods, sensing Talike's discomfort about the topic. "What's the plan? Although it may be best to discuss later. With all the others?" Ash nibbles her bottom lip in thought before being unable to help herself. "This voice you hear... When did it start? Did anything else come with it? Powers? Markings?"

"To be honest, I hadn't thought that far ahead. We could try to convince one of the guards to help us, but that would probably go very badly."
Talike notices that Ash is standing unusually still after seeing her stay in one place for an entire conversation.
"Are you okay? You seem a little stiff."
