Teo signals to the prisoners to stay quiet. He removes a small cluster of metal picks from a pouch on his belt and attempts to pick the cell's lock to the south.
Melaria will be waiting outside the cellroom, playing with Apple while Teo works with the prisoners. Whispering to Apple. "You think we should check on Tygron? Yeah, let's go see what he's up to."Melaria and Apple will leave to go check on Tygron.
Teo does his best to calm the prisoners as he addresses them: "We need to get you out of here quickly." He refers to the prisoners in the other cell. "Are those two prisoners with you? Do you know who they are?" As he asks the question, he motions for the three to move towards the door.
The man nods and begins to usher the boy and girl out of the cage towards the door, both of which seem hesitant and try to stay against the wall. "Just get out there, will you!" the man snaps at them and pushes them forward. "Yes, yeah, we know them. That's the kids mother and father. I'm their uncle."
The first group walk out the room, with the man pulling the teenage girl and boy along, as Teo sets to work on the padlock. The padlock mechanism is rustier and stickier than the first and takes a little longer, but eventually the catch pops up and Teo can open the cell.
The man in the cell grabs the woman's arm and sets to follow the other prisoners, with the woman half a step behind. As they pass Teo the man says "Thanks" and the woman looks straight at Teo wide-eyed, then to the man and then to the pile of clothes on the floor.
((Where have we got everyone?
Teo - in the cells Indio - in the crypt Ryn - by the door to the crypt getting his rope / spear? Melaria/Tygron - watching the other door which suspect has some RBs behind?))
Yeah, Teo didn't like how that woman looked at him. He feels in his gut that something is wrong, but he doesn't feel like he has the time to investigate. Though, he follows the glance of the woman and gives the pile of clothes a kick, pushing them aside to see if there is anything interesting about them.
If it's clear, he'll scoop up the clothes and follow the prisoners back to the cistern room, helping them across the trap if necessary.
If he gets the chance, Teo will relate his experience to the party members, recommending that they keep an eye on the two men. "She didn't look that happy to be released if I'm being honest. I know I look strange, but most people get over that when I am freeing them from prison."
Ryn: Standing with spear ready just outside the room, Ryn is immediately surprised to see a man leading the other prisoners. He grits his teeth and allows the man to walk close before saying, "Treating them awfully roughly considering what you've all been through, aren't you, son? They said a girl, a boy and a woman. Nothing about a man. Now slowly raise your hands or die."
Intimidation: 16
If the man does not immediately comply, Ryn will lash out at him with his spear.

You go through the pile of clothes and find two red cloaks buried at the bottom, bits and pieces of leather armour, boots and two short swords.
Seeing the red cloaks, Teo exhales a quiet curse, draws his dagger, and pushes past the woman to get behind the second man. Seeing Ryn confront the first man, Teo grabs the collar of the second man and pushes the tip of his dagger into his back. "Hold for a moment, friend. Let them have a chance to talk."
If Ryn attacks, Teo will backstab the second RB using Steady Aim for advantage.

Trip Attack: +4 Damage (DC 13 Str Save or fall Prone)
The man escorting the boy and teenage girl stops suddenly as he enters the crypt and Ryn delivers his options. He takes in Ryn, Indio behind him and briefly considers his options.
Weighing up the man in front of him in chain mail, a crossbow slung over his back, a serious look in his eyes about the threat of death and a nimble looking elf a few feet behind he lets go of the young humans and raises his hands slowly.
"Just let us go, would ya? You wouldn't hurt a man in his underpants would you?"

Dagger Attack: 25 Damage: 27
The second man is caught by surprise and you hear a clatter as he drops a concealed dagger to the floor. He releases the lady and nods, still facing forwards.
The lady immediately runs forward, grabs the two children and takes them away from the Redbrand and Ryn, sensing possible violence. She backs away into the North West corner of the room, clearly not liking the scattered skeletons.
As this is happening Tygron sees the door he is watching twitch and hit the barrel. And then a voice from the room; "Oi! This better not be some kind of joke. This you again, Taj!?"
Redbrand strength check: 9
The door moves ever so slightly against the barrel, but is still held shut.
((There's enough building in between that Indio, Ryn and co. can't hear this so will be unaware, unless Melaria or Ryn can get a signal back to them - and remember the door to the crypt swings shut. Happy for people to cross the trap with no skill check outside of combat to keep it moving. But this also means the RB's can't hear what's happening in the other room from where they are unless things get REALLY loud))
Teo contemplates for a moment where the second man was concealing his dagger, horrified at his conclusion. He shakes it off and instructs the woman and children to stay put.
Keeping the dagger firmly pressed into the thugs back, he manoeuvres him back into the northern cell. To Ryn, "Let's get these two stowed away, separate cells would be best. No reason to kill them if they behave themselves."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
10 strength check
Tygron curses quietly under his breath again in dwarvish, and moves back to the door with the RBs behind it. He pushes the barrel firmly against it and leans against the barrel- (STR check to help the barrel stay in place).
((Edit- hey 10 is stronger than the redbrand’s 9 STR check!) ))

Ryn: Grabbing the man forcefully by the collar, Ryn shoves his face into the wall and says, "Spread 'em," before thoroughly searching him.
Perception: 8
Pat down complete, he throws the man into one of the cells and locks the door, saying, "Stay here and stay quiet and you might just live through this."
Danger dealt with, Ryn acknowledges the prisoners, awkwardly introducing himself, "I'm Ryn. These are Teo and Indio. There is a trap down that hall, so stay here for now, won't you?"
Finally, he once again runs and leaps over the suspicious tiles to check on his friends.

The padlock is no match for Teo's expertise, the shackle pops open easily and the chain securing the door slides out.
The cell door itself opens on rusty hinges that creak and groan against the weight of the door and years of neglect.
Backs against the wall the prisoners stare at Teo and the man reaches out and grabs the boys arm.

Yes Tygron is watching both areas. When he sees the group of prisoners, he motions to them to move quickly but quietly, up the stairs.
