Bakkuda Isle

Twig looks up at her friends and whispers, "You could say I'm another prisoner and escort me to the cells if you want. Or we could just sneak in..."

Roland shook his head. "Hmm. If we try to escort you, they might insist we hand you off, or at the very least keep an eye on you the entire time you're inside. No... I'd say you should sneak in a side path while we distract everyone by just walking in the front gate."

The farmboy continued walking toward the main entrance, confidently, but slow enough so as not to draw attention were the group to suddenly stop or veer away.

"Okie Dokie. I guess if i get caught i'll just end up going to the same place you all are anyway." Twig replies just before darting off into the darkness. She hops from shadow to shadow trying to stay under cover.

Stealth: 16

The guard looks to Roland "Hello there. Are you on patrol"

Twig is hidden from sight

"Just finished," Roland said gruffly and lazily, as if too bored to give a longer answer. If he was being asked, the less dialogue the better, he figured.

He looked at the guard with his best tired expression, as if just waiting to be allowed through so he could hurry up and go home.

"Well we just brewed a fresh cup of coffee if you want to come in for a bit" says the guard

"Thanks," Roland nodded, again feigning tiredness, before forging ahead into the prison. He only glanced back at the others once when the first two guards' backs were turned.

The gate opens then Roland walks into the inner yard where there are 4 guards on patrol

What do the others do?

Zhernon will heads towards a blind spot and cast disguise self to solidify their appearance and then head for the cell where the prisoner is being kept they need to talk to.

Zhernon enters the prison and sees a clerk at the desk.(A different one from the one you met in the morning) She half glances at Zhernon as he heads down the stairs and sees a locked metal barred gate. There are 4 gates before reaching the prison cells

What do you do? The gate is locked

Re-posting for convenience

Zhernon will stop near the clerk. "Oh, uh, I'm supposed to do a walkthrough make sure everything is good down here.* Then they will nod at the gate.

Tilsu follows behind Roland, giving a nod to the guards, "Evening." Tilsu doesn't head down yet but takes a left to see what the room was.

The Clerks looks at Zhernon "What walk-through?" She begins looking through her papers. "There are no scheduled walk-through"

The left room has a communal table with several chairs and a wood cook stove. You smell the scent of fresh coffee with several mugs on a rack nearby.

The next room south has 3 beds and 2 large chests

further south is a door that leads to the bathroom.

Zhernon will shrug. "Someone mentioned doing a walkthrough. Must have misunderstood them." They will turn to leave and head back out to find the others.

Following the smell of the coffee, Roland walked behind Tilsu into the communal room. After checking that there was no one else within earshot, he lowered his voice and began slowly pouring himself a cup. "Zhernon's trying to head downstairs," he murmured, not sure if Tilsu had seen their companion. "I'm not going to do well sneaking around here, so I'll probably just sit in here for now until needed. It's right near the exit, so I can help if we need to force our way out."

He sipped the coffee, then made a face before quickly glancing around again. "Maybe I can rope some of the guards into a card game? Eh, if needed, I'll distract them somehow." He quickly fetched a bit of string and a shard of wood from a pocket, then muttered an incantation as he waved the components in a circle. A few seconds later, the only indication that something had happened was a puff of air rousing the dust on the floor near his foot. "I'll use an 'unseen servant' for some assistance, if need be," he explained. "And if the others haven't signaled by the time the spell ends, it probably means trouble anyway."

He leaned against the table, trying to act nonchalant as he again sipped his coffee and made a face. "Coffee?" he asked Tilsu, his voice returning to a more normal volume. "Or do you have 'other things' to attend to?"

Roland will cast Unseen Servant. For now, he'll just have the entity stand out of the way near the stove, waiting for its next task.

Twig will try to sneak past the clerk and into the room, attempting to use the fact that Zhernon is talking to the clerk as a distraction.

Stealth: 11

"I'll take two, but I do have other things to do." She pours herself two cups and heads back to the main room. She walks up behind Zhernon, offering a cup, "Just calm down, you've been up for too long. Drink some coffee, almost done with the shift." She looks to the clerk "Sorry to bother you, but could you pass me the keys for the gate? I think I dropped my amulet  down there when I was last here."

Deception: 19

The clerk starts looking around her desk "There should be a key here, but I can't seem to find it." Exasperated she turns to Tilsu "Just ask one of the guards down in the basement to open the gates. Tell them Jath, that's me,  sent you"
