((There are the two entrances but also the courtyard. All of which will likely be observed. She does remember a fourth option - there was a side door they used when they went with Korda to empty latrine buckets - it's on the western side with some open ground between the prison and a guard tower - she might be able to transform without being seen there))

Jarrin nods to the warden,

"Yes ma'am. Should we take this one out?"

If she receives a negative response, she'll move towards Sorin and Geoffrey and wait for Ava before heading out to see the situation with the black armored guards.

If yes, they will escort Ricky to the...mess hall?

The warden shakes her head. 

"No, I'm here now. I'll deal with him," the warden says.

Down the hallway, towards the south, you can here the booming voice of the senior Hargrove. You remember that loud showman's voice from the gladiator pits. The precise words he's using can't quite be made out but he does sound like he's yelling loudly at the soldiers that presumably came with him.

Ava snarls at Godrick, his smirk baiting her easily.  "Yes warden, but please, let me help you escort him to where you find most beneficial.  I would recommend an empty cell.  Not sure what trick he is playing right now, but his body is growing cold.  Some magic he is using to try and get me to let go of him."

She continues to hold on to the man, waiting the warden's response.

The warden's face turns stern towards Avaria.

"He is not a prisoner but a guest of a Lord of the Sea of Fallen Stars who own and fund this prison. He may have wandered off course but from what I can tell has committed no offense here nor has he done anything to warrant a cell," the warden says. "You on the other hand are a guard employed to guard the prison and prisoners."

She waves her hand, dismissing Avaria.

Godrick smiles broadly at her.

------------------------------------------

((As a reminder, the warden has only interacted with the 'dwarf' crew about what to do with Korda and what the Hargroves might be up to. The 'guards' are still just guards to her. She has to tread a fine line between opposing lords.))

Ava glares at Godrick, thinks of saying something more, but changes her mind and lets go of him.

Then with her head held high she follows Jarrin, Soren and Geoffrey out.

Jarrin gives Ava a pat on the shoulder as they head out towards where the guards and black armored soldiers were tussling, quietly saying when they are far enough away to not be heard,

"We'll get them yet. Now let's go see what ma and pa are getting up to."

Geffroi leans in and adds to Avaria and Jarrin “Do you think Korda made a deal with Godrick? He had time to talk to her before you discovered him.”

Soren lags slightly behind, looking back and watching Godrick and the warden talking. He trots to catch up but doesn’t say anything.

Coming down the southern tunnel, where the senior Hargrove went, the guard group can now see William Hargrove in the middle of the fray, calming the black clad soldiers down.

Looking east, the group locks eyes with Team Dwarf, peaking around the corner.

”Well, everyone is already in. Why not just let them stay and warm up. Stick them in a storage room or something.” William Hargrove says to the captain of the prison guards. She doesn’t look keen on the idea but she also doesn’t look like she wants to get back into a tussle with soldiers already in the prison.

Avaria's back straightens even further at Geffroi's words as he voices her own concern, but what could they do about it?  Maybe talk to Korda later.. turning to her team, "One or two of you go and tell those guests that it isn't safe here and they need to move along" then in a whisper, "see if they can get to Korda by that side entrance we used to see if she has anything to say about Godrick."

She then marches up to the captain of the prison guards, "Come on, we are to get these men out, warden's orders.  No storage room available." she adds towards William Hargrove.

And as long as no one physically stops her, she starts directing the black clad soldiers out the gate.

Jarrin catches Soren's eye and cocks an eyebrow at him questioningly but turns and listens to Ava and nods along.

She then moves up behind Ava and hides the surprise from her face at Ava's interpretation of the warden's desires. It is probably what the warden wants, after all. She gives a supportive nod and starts rallying the guards to get the soldiers moving towards the exit.

The head of the prison guards, Yula Dargeria, looks over at Avaria and frowns. 

As she looks Avaria up and down, the alarm final stops and the lighting returns to normal.

"Well that's something," Yula Dargeria says. Then to Avaria "Return to your patrol duties. We still have a prison to run."

While ignoring Avaria's 'orders', Yula Dargeria still looks like she's not too pleased about having the soldiers in the prison.

"And what are you doing?" she asks Jarrin - believing her to be Jan. "I gave you and your friends a job. I didn't give you mine."

She gestures to the guard room next to the entrance.

"Through there. That will put your lot in the mess hall and keep them out of the way of the rest of the prison." Dargeria says to William Hargrove. "If we see even one of them wandering the halls, they're all out in the cold again."

William Hargrove gives her one of his exaggerated showman's bows and barks orders at the soldiers to go where they're directed.

As the black armoured soldiers filter through the guard room and to the mess hall, William and Gillian Hargrove look over at the 'guard' team before moving past them to return in the direction of the meeting room.

"I hope we can catch up later," William Hargrove says to Avaria as he passes by.

Jarrin rolls with Yula's comments with a small shake of her head and says quietly,

"I know those people, this was only the beginning."

She does give a nod of her head at the order and joins Ava and the rest to continue the patrol, looking to follow someone that has any idea of what that should look like.

 Marjan will make her way towards the latrine exit, swapping out her face as the opportunity or need presents itself.

Ava bristles as Yula looks her up and down.  "I was just delivering the message.  You're going to regret keeping them in this prison."

And with those parting words, she ignores William and heads out with Jarrin, anger rippling off of her.

Jarrin will also give her absolutely most apologetic look to Yula as Ava departs before hurrying after the shifter!
