Mundis as you get pulled out you feel yourself regain consciousness, as your being carried, one carrying your legs one your arms. Your eyes flutter open as you pass a waterfall and a closet looking kind of cell. You keep going till they bring you to what looks like a personal room and lay you across the table roughly. You hear them whisper “ think she’s awake?” “Na look at her limp a shroom spoor” they both sit down on chairs next to the table. A little bit passes by and you hear them again say “I don’t think she’s going to wake up any Tim soon, how about we go get some food ehh” “I don’t think we should do that, hat if she wakes up and figures out she can use magic in here and everywhere else besides the pen?” The other one looks over a laughs out loud “ha she’s to dumb to figure that out come on let’s go” “fine” with that they leave, and the room becomes silent
“ok wait for my signal, not before” he stands up and walks out, before he leaves he pretends to stretch up pointing up at the door ceiling, then turned back and mouths outside. Hoping you got everything he said he leaves and the door closes and locks.
Phineas being the curious sort... especially after watching the rather talkative and helpful guard silently gets up and walks over to the check the area above the door he had pointed towards while he was stretching. The Jester herself waits for a good time to quietly as possible stretches up her arms to run her hand along it as well as trying to get a closer look (visually)Perception9 just to see if something might be hidden there.
Grailkic was less then trusting of the claim that the dark elf was going to help the prisoners, having gone completely silent after his talk with the other deep gnomes went no where. For now he would keep to himself, waiting for the right time to come up with a plan of his own. He looked to the spider he had been keeping in his hand, wondering if he could use it in some way to his advantage.
The deep gnomes had no reason to trust you but they are getting desperate with a fight coming up soon they approach you and sit in a semi circle around you speaking only in their language. Jimjar Speaks first “I don’t trust any of you but I want out so I guess I’m open to ideas” Topsy and Turvy then speak finishing each other’s sentences “we want out” “and a chance at those guards” (Topsy and Turvy don’t understand anything than gnomish, so they did not understand what the guards had said) “we will” “fight for each other” “if know one else”
As Mundis over hears them talking, she keeps pretending to be asleep, she slowly stirs around pretending to move in her sleep. But with being turned away from them she opens her eyes to at least look at some of my surrounding. But a good thing is she could supposedly use magic. She pretends to be asleep until she hears them leave and then she gets up, she stumbles a bit still feeling sick from not having water or food. Slowly she sits down again and concentrates on her inner strength she had left, with that her hands lit up with fire. But she had to be quick, she ran out of the open door quickly moving into the shadows where no one could see her.
“ok wait for my signal, not before” he stands up and walks out, before he leaves he pretends to stretch up pointing up at the door ceiling, then turned back and mouths outside. Hoping you got everything he said he leaves and the door closes and locks.

You don’t feel anything on the inside railing of the door (they would not put something useful on the inside) all you come back comeback with is dust on your fingers
(Ok so we haven’t decided on a posting order or not) mundis passes out from hunger (get ready) and the guards run in 7 of them in total pick her up and Carry here out. One of the guards stays and crouches informt of the group “I’ve heard all your plans” he points had his ear “I have enhanced hearing, but I’m here to help you. Wait till tonight when the guards switch places I’ll be in charge then” he looks back at the door “so there’s no need to kill these people, most of them are being forced by the mistress, you all know here well from your time here working for her” then the 3 of the guards return “ok wait for my signal, not before” he stands up and walks out, before he leaves he pretends to stretch up pointing up at the door ceiling, then turned back and mouths outside. Hoping you got everything he said he leaves and the door closes and locks.
Kira curses inwardly. Within seconds of talking, that guard had not only rendered her fledgling plan dead before it grew wings, but also made further improvisation with the group impossible, as anything she said can be assumed to be overheard. This elf was leaving her no choice, but go along with what he says or improvise on the spot with no communication with the other prisoners. While the man spoke, Kira read his body language, tone, biological cues with a practiced eye to determine the truth and sincerity of his claims, both to have actually heard what they said and to be willing to help them.
Insight: 9
His last motion in front of the door was unclear, what did he mean?
Speaking silently, Kira replied, "Killing the right guard could solve all three problems at once. We need to figure out which has the keys, get him in here with them, and kill him quietly. The toughest part will be knowing where to go afterwards."
OOC: Kira will watch the door intently to figure out how it is unlocked the next time it opens, which guard unlocked, and memorize the appearance of that guard.
Perception: 10
Some time passes since the high elf had been taken out due to passing out and guards have gone in and out your perception reveals that all the guards reach up before coming in and unlocking the door the guards also seem to go in one guard three times then the next guard three times, you can’t figure out why though
After watching the guards move in and out, the talkative's guard last gesture made more sense. There was likely either a physical key or magical lock above the doorway on the outside. She studied the door as covertly as she could to try to piece together the exact way in which the door was opened.
Investigation: 15
She considered sharing her findings with the others, but the spoken word wasn't safe and other forms of communication were inadequate. In the end she ready here mind and wait..

For a second she realized she didn't think there might have been food in that room, so she swiftly moves out of the shadows back to the room. When in there see starts to search with her vision already starting to blur. Perception 3
(Do remember that one of the prisoners is stool a Myconid sprout they can connect people with telekinesis)
You studied the door Kira to find that the guards reach up and reach back down to open the door then wait a second to reach back up, obviously to hide the fact that the something is on the railing of the door outside
"Then we need to wait for a chance to get out of these shackles. When they brought me and five others from my mining expedition they took our weapons and armor. If we can find any you three should be able to use them. From there if we stick together we could try to make for the settlement my clan and several others have put together." Grailkic offered up as the start of a plan, keeping to their native tongue.

You look around but are to dizzy to look for anything a fall to the ground making a cluttering sound, you hear loud foot steps and more drow fill into the room. They look at you on the floor “uhh I guess she feel” they pick you up and put you back onto the table “still safe to leave her here?” “Think so let’s go”

Grailkic offered up as the start of a plan, keeping to their native tongue.
The deep gnomes look at each other then speak in unison “how are we going to get out to the tools?” They look behind themselves, the twins speak “maybe we could sneak out when the loud ones go to far and end up dying”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With Mundis still being dizzy she got up again choosing to not find food again and just leave. Once Mundis was out and in the shadows again she looked around things still spinning, I need someone to come and save me, she cringed at the thought of needing help, but she new she desperately needed it if she ever wanted to get around this place. For now she sat in the shadows far from the room she was in to make sure they wouldn't find her. Stealth 15
"Grisly as that sounds it is a good plan. For now though we can do little as these don't offer freedom of movement." Grailkic said as he scooted closer to them and opened his fist to show the spider. "I am thinking we could use this as well. At the very least we can use it as a distraction since the drow love their spiders more then their own children."
While lightly stretching and exercising as much as her restraints were allowed, Kira eyes passed over the humanoid mushroom the Jester often interacted with. She remembered hearing that such species could connect beings telepathically through a melding of minds. She considered briefly as a method of covert communication, but rejected it just as quickly. She would never willing allow a room full of strangers, or anyone for that matter, possible unfettered access to her thoughts.
Phineas Fop: you hear a knocking on the one room cell at three guards with crossbows open the door and grab you chains leading you out. One of them sneers “have fun in there, keep quiet and you don’t have to go back” they lead you back to the slave pen throwing you in roughly. When your thrown in you see the same assortment of people but one new thing a Highe elf (Mundis) taking your place in singing, you can’t tell if for herself or for the group.
Phineas escorted by her three bohunks makes her triumphant return to the main slave pen, her arms shoot upward (as much as her shackles will allow, jingling) into the air at the imagined cheers and acclaim of her fellows, "hey hey, I'm back... miss me? Sure ya did! Oh for joy, for joy... you all missed a good time, they gave me the copper tour you know... the grand luminous pee-yellow waterfall... word of warning folks, don't drink from it. Oh and the pit of despair... kind of a letdown, the magic mushroom gardens, yum... you name and I seen it!"
[["I, for one, do not wish to be a slave a moment longer, why do we not all talk? Why the secrecy? Surely none of us wish to be here, but by excluding others from the conversation, you doom yourself to failure." OOC: Tarhun is attempted a persuasion check to get people to warm up to him a little. Persuasion: 9]]
After a wee bit, the one called Tarhun catches the Jester's eye, listening to him she smiles and walks over to him and dramatically throws her arms around him giving him a warm caring hug (as much as her shakles will allow anyway) and a Goblin kiss (three quick delicate sniffs to the side of the head near the ear), "ah poo bear, Phineas loves ya... don't let this lot get you down... look at em... introverted, troubled, hard-boiled, pessimistic, loners, professionals... they got reps to maintain, not easy being a bad boy, gawds love em!" Phineas pats his bum and turns and walks over towards the Drow Elf female (Xullraema) she had been eyeing earlier before so rudely being hauled off before they could speak and sits down beside her.
"Hubba, hubba, hubba, what do we have here... I have seen you before, right? The myconids... the spores... the mind meld, what a rush... wow... you were in my vision quest, kinda, sorta a flashback or maybe it was a flash-forward thingy, who knows, anyways... maybe you remember too, maybe not... I'm Phineas Fop, jester, minstrel, professional damsel in distress... a pleasure to meet you in the flesh. I must say, I do like the cut of your jib if ya know what I mean,"wink, wink.
Phineas suddenly without warning bursts into song and motions for Xullraema to join her in the bawdy-song as well as the other females in the cell.
Xullraema does not join in the song, but does return the wink.
"You know, we're not getting out of here. I've lived here long enough to know that if we do find a way out, our captors will have put it there."

"Now now, my friend, that is no way to look at the situation! One must have hope!" Tarhun more or less inserted himself into Xull and Phineas' conversation, feeling more or less entitled to after the jester draped herself on him before flitting over to Drow. As for the Drow herself, if she was locked up in here, than she was considered a friend of his. As much a friend as a Drow would want in a large, scaly, dragon-esque man.

Magic will not help us, and and we are in no condition to force our way out. That leaves only stealth, which does not seem to be your strong suit. Besides, I'm sure you lot have all committed horrible crimes. It would be a terrible day if so many brigands and murderers were released once again upon the world."

Originally Treston had started to work out a plan to escape with the group. Upon hearing the guard whisper talk of escape and such he started to reach out to a couple of the other prisoners in attempts of talking this through. "Okay, assuming the guard is telling the truth, and really why would he lie and not just punish us, then we are to make our move soon. I think we should all be ready to move. Finding the key will be our top priority and once we do I'll be able to scout ahead maybe with a couple skilled others and see if we can find our path to some weapons and our gear. For the magic users, we should put you in the middle of our group so you can cover our 12 and our 6. With these numbers if we are to procure any weapons then we have some advantage." He turns to the insane singing human "The real question is where do we go when we leave. Do you remember where they took you earlier, could you find your way back there again?"
Grailkic heard the drow speak and clenched his hands, glaring at her from over his shoulder for several seconds. He had done nothing that deserved to end up in a place like this. The only thing he was gulity of doing was his job, guarding the miners while they collected ore and gemstones to take bacl to the rest of their people. He then turned back to the other three deep gnomes grimly, his hands clenched.
"Tyr will see us through, but only if you have the courage to do so. Such is his way. I do not have a plan, they are... not my strong suit. But I can do what I am told, I will play my part when it comes time. Be it by arm, weapon, or maybe even this." Tarhun opened his mouth a little and small glow emitted from inside. His fire breath, a weapon that could not be taken away from him.
