The drums have stopped all of a sudden and more than the sound the absence of it wakes you from a fitful rest. You give assisted as you realize that one of the draconians,as you have heard them being called is standing beside you with a knife. A minute later he is gone.
Are your bounds loosened or is it your imagination.
Of course it's probable that this is a trap of some kind. Suspiciously silent drums, suspiciously convenient cutting of her bonds? Perhaps someone justifying killing a prisoner trying to escape? But none of that really mattered. She was far away from rescue. Far away from anyone she knew. She'd been utterly dependent on her captors for food and water and they could take her life at any moment. If they chose to do so now, while she had liberty, at least she had a chance now.
Bryony pulls away from the post she'd been tied to and starts looking for an exit. Lacking any real training in stealth, she nonetheless moves fairly quietly in large part because she doesn't have any possessions on her that could make noise. Time to find a way out!
How far is leader from his group? I was thinking shot at the leader and follow up with one within 5ft.

Seeing himself in the midst of enemies, he will draw a bead on the leader with his bow and fire at the leader Attack: 20 Damage: 10. Then fall back toward the group.

The arrow twangs away and slams into the foremost most sending reeling back.

For Bryony
As you touch your way around you realize that you are inside something made of wood. The tight weaves make it impassable but there seems to be an exit from the summit, light from the fire shines that way. The climb will require an athletic roll.
In the back, on ground level, there is also an exit but several sibilant voices are arguing. They seem to be getting a little farter but you cant be sure. (Stealth roll, for here please.)
”Tyrros! Stay here. The plan is bring them back to us. If you fight them there we’ll be way too spread out.” Xorn whispers sharply from a somewhat covered vantage point.

Bryony considers trying to sneak by her guards and quickly dismisses the idea. They probably see in the dark better than she can, and there's many of them and only one of her. They're also armed and they could slay her with little effort, even if one of them apparently wanted her to escape. ...Perhaps that was the plan, to catch her escaping and...justify her execution? Who knows.
The climb however offers an alternative. No sound from up there, definitely a way out and best yet it took her away from her guards. Bryony takes her time, chooses her handholds and hefts herself up, working her way up the wooden weave as quickly as she can given her guards could return at any moment.

Shan takes a few steps forward to see better Alex and his attackers. As soon as the most closer to him begins to approach the group she produces a little bar of straight iron from one of her pockets and closes her eyes. The magic energy flows throught her and she mutters a few words in the arcane language while weaving her hand and making strange patterns with her fingers:
“Pactia et matahant”
She opens her eyes hoping that the creature had stopped its movement giving Alex and Kinlin more time to join them.
Shan sees with satisfaction that the strange creature is held by her magic. Still the effort to keep it in place is extreme and it’s taking its toll on her.
With the temples covered by sweat she says to Alex
“run! Run with the others! Where’s the kender?”
She hears the rest of creatures coming and she knows that they didn’t had too much time to act.
“I will try to hold them. Go to the city!” Says to Alex and Escarin “bring Geoff there! I will join you soon!”
Even with all that things happening and the poor light she can discern the features of the creature she was holding with her magic. And doesn’t dare to look to much fearing to lose the concentration needed to keep it in place.

Alex. Tell me what your intending to do ?
The leader is a 18 and the others are at 7. They are coming for you but they are still 3 rounds from you. Unless they have spells.
Waiting for Kinlin.

Bryony's been waiting for this opportunity.

Tyrros seems torn between helping Alex and listening to the others. He skids to a stop and waits to see what the companions will do.

OOC: Can Geoff see what is happening with Alex and Kinlin? They said they were moving back, if possible I'd like to relay that to the ambush group.
