Rain stands for her sprawl and thinks to herself 'This is nothing, training with an old monk has been more daunting'. She then looks at Lupus and whispers, " Sorry about that, just testing the waters". Turning her attention to Zvaere she says in the same low tone, " That was some top notch voice mimicry, I never heard someone imitate someone else's voice so perfectly before. What's your secret? Voice exercises?"
Rain is utterly amazed by Zvaere. " That is so amazing, wish I could do something like that. Sadly all I got is bare hands I can't really use and a proficiency in jeweler's tools that have been taken from me along with my quarterstaff".
Zvaere looks up to the ceiling of the cave and whispers in a new deep voice "If this cave wasnt so small, and if i had my armor back, I could get these people out of here."
Ilvara leads you all along a narrow wooden bridge, those with darkvision can make out spider webs and giant spiders below where you walk. The bridge is connected from the small cave along a huge stone wall to a stalagmite hanging from the ceiling of the cavern ceiling.
Upon entering you all see the floor of this circular chamber is covered by dark silken mats with a pale web-strand pattern woven through them in silvery thread. In the middle of the chamber (at the center of the web) stands a broad pedestal carved from zurkhwood, with a 10-foot-high sculpted spider at its head, As well as another priestess of lesser stature than Ilvara making herself busy with some sort of daily ritual.
After being led through you go down a rope ladder which leads down from the shrine into this chamber, which serves as private quarters to Mistress Ilvara. Inside, the walls are hung with black mesh resembling a spider’s web, extending from a central spot on the ceiling out to the walls, then draped down like curtains.Thick, woven mats cover the floor, while a low platformis covered with cushions and pillows to make a broad, divan-like bed. One side of the chamber contains a small table and two chairs, while the other holds a small shrine to Lolth, draped in white silk. A heavy chest of black-stained zurkhwood sits at the foot of the bed.
She lays down on the bed and says You all make yourselves busy with cleaning my chambers. Except for the elf of course. Instead you can entertain me with the story of your life. But I want you to do it without using the word "the"! The rest of you get to work!
((You guys can roll a perception or investigation check to see what you can find while here))
Lupus stands still for a moment before starting to clean but he says "Prejudice and racism are out dated and unintelligent ideas...its probably why the surface elves are more successful" he said this as as if it were a fact his words held no hostile intention. its quite obvious that Lupus says what ever is on his mind
Ag will make the motions of cleaning up while scouting around the room and its adjacent areas. In the meantime, he's still trying to gather up arcane materials - a piece of copper wire, and (good luck with that) a 50gp diamond...
Investigation: 10
He'll also try to figure out if spells and/or magic are still damped here...
Rain looks over the chamber, eyes glancing back at the rope ladder they came down from then to the table to see if there is any glass cups or cutlery that need to be cleaned besides the area itself. She pauses only a second in her task to think to herself, ' I wonder if the mistress will go back up before or after us'.

Perception roll

((You're able to see what looks like a small knife (Dagger) that could be used as a weapon partially hidden under a few spare rags as well as a tiny thin piece of metal (like a hairpin) that could possibly help jimmy the locks))
Ilvara does not like your comment however, and responds by pointing her finger at you and casting Ray of sickness
Attack: 14 Damage: 9
You will learn that we are not as forgiving as the surface elves either! You best learn to keep your mouth shut. After this you can remain for a few hours of "extra training"

((Nothing like that unfortunately, but you do find that the spell dampening field is not in effect. You can cast spells that don't require a material component. Also the small dark chest at the edge of the bed is half open from what you can tell.)

((You can see some cutlery around the table as well as a expensive looking silver mirror sitting on the table. There's a few spoons and forks as well as a small knife (Dagger) that could be used as a weapon.))
Lupus stumbled back from the attack and fell to one knee, as he fell he saw a hair pin he could take
"Very well, whatever you wish Mistress" on the word mistress Lupus's voice lowered drastically and his normal reverb like voice sounded to be almost glitching. as he said this he tried with his body language to stealthily point out to Rain that the hair pin was there
Lupus ducked the attack and in doing so saw a hairpin he could take.

((It hits, you guys dont currently have your armor on.))
Edit: you are able to point to just before Ilvaras head turns to look around, though it doesn't seem like she saw you.
If Rain doesn't see Lupus' stealthy message she goes for the dagger and stores it in her sleeve. If Rain does see Lupus' boby language, she changes course for the hairpin. Skirting around the scene to the pile of rugs, she hides the pin in her hair in the same motion of swiping sweat from her brow.
As Ag works the room, he'll try to communicate he <might> be able to do something about Ilvara, but would probably be better off taking out the guards up the rope ladder....
Is there enough space here such that we could maneuver the group to one side of the room in order to cast Sleep on the other half?
To confirm: there's a minor priestess up above, and Ilvara in the room here.

Lormon says to rain “she hates us more than anybody”
then turns to Zvaere “good voice mimicking”
Zvaere looks at Rain and Lormon and says in Rain's voice "im quite good at voices," then switches to Lormons voice, "as you can see."
Ah, but you'll never sing as sweetly as I...
Rain is utterly amazed by Zvaere. " That is so amazing, wish I could do something like that. Sadly all I got is bare hands I can't really use and a proficiency in jeweler's tools that have been taken from me along with my quarterstaff".

If wishes were fishes, we'd all drown in fish. That said, I pretty sure our chances are better if we're anywhere but here.
