when Zhor's howling dies down Gad will try to be calm, and warn him in goblin They won't get graves, brother, they'll rot where they fall, but only if we are smarter than them. Work might get us time, information, tools and weapons - which we need along with broken shackles.
If he broke a link and the guards haven't noticed yet, Gad will help disguise it, squeeze the broken one to look like the chain is still whole

Zhor will look to Gad and give a nod. (In goblin) "You are wise Gad. I swear to you that they will suffer for what they have done to us.. to all of us."
Zhor does, in fact, break the chains. There's no hiding it, however. Broken chain links rain down on the floor, and after a few seconds, no check needed to hear: HEY! WHAT THE HELLS IS GOING ON DOWN THERE!? Followed by the sound of running feet, at least 4 sets.

Back and ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.
Tempest gives the chain fragments an appreciative smile as she hears the guards come running. "So much for patience..." She says with a grim smile for her dwarf companion. She settles back against the wall to see what happens, knowing she is ill-equipped to be any aid whatsoever in what might happen next.
Manju - Letting out a sigh watching Zhor struggle with the chain Manju will position himself directly in front of the door waiting for them to enter. As they enter the door Manju will do his best to pretend to have a heart attack.
Gadvelt feels halfway between bursting free and waiting, but patience wins out. In common: No no no - we're not ready for this yet - what are you planning to do? We need more before making a move And in goblin: Look, Zhor - they will probably torture you, but they want slaves alive. This is not my first time at this. You can take it - be brave but don't act brave. They have no honor so you do not need to show them any. We'll make them pay later, my brother.
Then he'll back against the wall like nothing is happening

All the other chains hold fast, they don't even give any.
The drow arrive at the door and peer in through the bars. The one in front is bigger and meaner looking, and better equipped, than the others. They notice the broken links on the floor and scowl. Who broke through their chains? You'll stay back on the walls if ya know what's good for ya!They unlock the door and walk in.

If you're attempting combat, or think you may jump in, go ahead and roll initiative at disadvantage. Keep in mind also all of your attack rolls and saves are at disadvantage as well, except Zhor, who is currently unrestrained.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
If Zhor has hugged the wall well enough, he will attempt a surprise attack as soon as the first guard walks in and attempt to block the door to stop others from entering.
If the guard seems to notice Zhor immediately, then Zhor will keep his hands together and walk to the back wall.
Either way Zhor would also like to identify what equipment they carry.
Zhor looks at the derro and says, "The only work I will be doing for those spider molesters will be digging their graves."
Zhor builds up a roar as he tests the strength of his shackles.

Manju - Unleashing an over dramatic sigh "But I was on my way to the city of splendor, it would have been my big break... We need to get out of here."
After Zohr's display, Don will sidle over to the gate and look out to see if anyone is coming, and what it looks like outside their cell.

Manju - Still holding the metal rod in his hand "Hey big guy, think you can help Manju with his chains?"
Egret will follow Zhor’s lead and try to break is own chains.
Strength: 9
Successful or not, he’ll try to flank the cell door, waiting for the drow to open the door.
"I'll try, but I'll need you to cause a distraction for me to sneak up on them."
Zhor will attempt to break Manju out. Then position himself back to the wall near the door to prepare an ambush.

OOC: Just a few questions are the Drow in the cell already? How big is the cell? And am I successfully distracting them?
Tempest has no plan to jump in and fight these guys, but she would help out if things looked like they were going in the group's favor.
Initiative: 15
Initiative: 8
Don will prepare to act, but doesn't plan to instigate anything.
Quietly enough for the people around him to hear (but hopefully not so loud that the drow hear) Don says "Nobody do anything stupid. But be ready."

Gadvelt likewise follows orders for now, back against the wall. But, it's nice to know one's place and everybody else is doing it, so Initiative 3
