Ooc: just for reference, Vulgrim only found one suitable rock, whichever broke, but I'll eat you make the check anyway.
After you have eaten, you face off against your chains again. You strain long Andy hard, soon you fear it may prove again pointless. You thenfeel a noticeable shift. The right cuff has bent out of place. Slightly. Just enough, that if you squeeze, you may be able to free that hand.
Slight of Hand to slip from the cuff.
Slight of Hand: 12
OOC: Whoops, thought I had already answered this.
You shrink your massive fist down as small as you can as you try to squeeze out of the cuff. It goes slowly, and it hurts, but after a bout 20mi utes of continual effort, you massive power yanks free of the cuff.
With one of the Goliath's fists free, you again hear the clunk of a lock as Hevrik again enters the cell, carrying another wad off cloth, whihwc he sets in front of Kuori. "Just in case you need to replace some," he turns to Vulgrim and whispers. "Wait for my signal, there will a wagon in the courtyard you first came in on." He then stands and leaves.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With her hands free Kinshra smiles to Nora. “Thank you “ she says “ now let’s see how we get out of here “ She walks towards the door and begins to change, her body covering with a soft black and grey hair, her hands transforming into paws but still with fingers. In front of Nora now stands a werepanter with grey stripes, or a weretiger with black and grey fur she isn’t quite sure.

Vulgrim blinks looking at the cloth then at Keeneye, his free fist and back at the cloth again a crooked smile slowly forming as he takes in what just happened.
"Looks like either my words or the fact that the Goliath was beaten like a dog has finally caused ol Hevrik to snap"he mutters absent minded stroking his chin. He suddenly notices Keeneye watching him and exclaims "Well don't just stand there big guy have a look and see if the hobgoblin left more than he let on" indicating the cloth.

Keeneye gets proud. First for freeing his hand, then for the realization that he recognised a comrade in Hevrik. And as he gets the instruction, immediately start checking the cloth. He likes clear instructions. It's easier to do his job, if someone is telling what to do. But as his slow mind realize how he was addressed, he also stops in the middle and grims toward Vulgim and says: "My name is not Bigguy. I'm Keeneye. And how should I call you, handsome?" Keeneye meant to call him something bad, but he's not that familiar with curses in common as in Giant or Orc.

Vulgrim scratches his head trying to understand the sudden affection "Ah my apologies Keeneye, my comrades call me Vulgrim and it seems, for now at least, that we are in this together. so what do you say Keeneye?" He holds out his shackled hand as far as the chains would allow and offers a handshake "comrades?"
As Kinshra changes Nora thinks to herself "Okay this is it, once we get pass this door it's do or die. If I hesitate even a little it will be the death of us."When Kinshra investigates the door Nora begins to stretch her body for the up coming fight tearing a piece of her tunic and wraps her hands tight.
/Flashback: After her master left Nora mostly made her living by preforming dances and plays mixed with acrobatics.
Nora begins to practice her techniques just like before. Instinct begins to take over her body as she preforms uppers and hooks mixed in with elbows, she is oblivious now to her surroundings as, she finishing her warm ups she thinks to herself "My god... I was always ready."

"Comrades" Keeneye says and grabs Vulgrim's hand, and hold it tight. As tradition, he holds it until their touch warms up both hand a bit, and let it go only after that. He knows that foreigners feel awkward when they make a trade for example, but something makes Keeneye feel that Vulgrim is a similarly lost soul, and if they stick together, Keeneye might have some company that he is missing since he left his tribe; so he want to share with Vulgrim the feelings he has for his tribe. In his own way.
"Now let's see what's here. Maybe something to help us escape. Because I'm sure not gonna work for these blasted goblins."

Indeed, wrapped inside the cloth you find an iron ring of keys.

Kinshra checks if she can opne the door.
(investigation: 13)
in your feline form, you look at the door. You see that the keyhole does extend into the cell itself, most likely in case a guard got locked in one, but it will be hard to pen without a pick or a set of keys. You might be able to do it without, but it will be hard, and painful.
OOC. I am will in to let you make a lock pick check with your claws at disadvantage, and you may take a couple hit points of damage.
Indeed, wrapped inside the cloth you find an iron ring of keys.
"Hevrik you beautifully conscience son of a fiend" exclaims Vulgrim as the keys clatter to the floor. He snatches them up quickly and one by one removes his shackles.
He stands breathing a sigh of relief rubbing his wrists and neck from where the silver burned and chafed his skin. He stretches widely no longer restrained by the painful shackles and begins unshackling Keeneye as his excitement builds.
"Hevrik said to wait for his signal. I wonder what else he plans to do? They will kill him or worse if they find out what he has done" he finishes unlocking the last restraint and steps back to allow the goliath to stretch.
"What do you think Keeneye? Shall we wait for a sign or just or go now?"
Vulgrim picks the cloth up off the floor, wraps it around one the chains and grabs it with both hands testing to see if the silver burns through. "Either way we may need to fight and it wont hurt to have something we can swing around" he gives the chain a quick tug to test its strength
"what do you say you put your muscles to the test and see if you can carefully pull this out of the wall" he says handing the wrapped area of the chain to Keeneye.
"We are getting out of this shit hole today"he says inspiring Keeneye.
OOC. Is our door unlockable from the inside aswell? Do we have some sort of window to let light in? If so i would like to look out and judge what time of day it is.
Also would like to inspire Keeneye with my Bardic inspiration to pull the chains off of the wall so we could use as improvised weapons however if this is going to make a lot of noise than i am not sure if we should do it yet or at all.
I imagine just pulling the hinges off with a concentrated pull wont make much noise at all but i will leave that up to you DM.

OOC. The chains are attached to a ring on a heavy plaques inlaid in the wall, you need to be really careful to not make noise.
The door does also have the lock go all the way through, yes. No window.
Everyone
You hear a soft echoing booming sound that you are unsure what it is. Another sounds, and after a third you hear the loud clanging of an alarm bell. You hear a vague echo "escaped prisoners in the siege lab! Secure the subterranean blocks!!!!!!" Followed by the clanging of hundreds of metal boots on stone work, echoing from all around you, but they slowly move off and congeal over and below you.
The little pain in her finger was received as a medal when she heard the metal click on the lock and saw that she could open the door.
She turned to Nora “ What Hevrik said? A couple of hours? It’s been difficult to make notes on their shift changes... do you think he meant that? And you spoke of others? “ she looked worried “ I don’t want to be insesible but if we don’t know where they are and their condition the chances that we are discovered and captured are very high. Better to slip into the night and try to plan their escape from safety...” she offers then the sounds began...
“I think that’s our chance!” Says Kinshra “while they are busy in other place we could sneak out!” She opens the door just a little bit a takes a peek.
"Do it! Do it now" Vulgrim instructs Keeneye as the loud clanging of the Alarm begins. He slides over and quickly unlocks the door, takes the keys back out and slowly swings it open enough to peek out of.

You peek out, and see the dimly lit corridor empty except for two hobgoblin guards, undoubtedly left behind as a skeleton guard.
"Do it! Do it now" Vulgrim instructs Keeneye as the loud clanging of the Alarm begins. He slides over and quickly unlocks the door, takes the keys back out and slowly swings it open enough to peek out of.

Nora doesn't like the idea of leaving William but without a proper lay out she has no hopes of finding him and escaping. "Damnit!" She punches the wall feeling hopeless about the situations "I don't want to leave William behind but your right!"She looks at Kinshra "Let's go!"
(Sleight of hand: 17 )
Kinshra moves her thumb and twitst the now greasy wirts trying to free her hands once and for all, ignoring the pain that the silver inflicts her.
“Come on. The diadem was a lot worse” she though to herself
