While Jan scans the office, she keeps most of her senses attuned to the room behind her and the stairwell off of that, knowing that if someone comes up behind, she'll be trapped in this room.
But despite her divided attention, it's impossible not to notice the five, heavy wooden cabinets along the curved eastern wall. Quickly pulling on the drawers reveals they're locked, and these locks are not keyed to the guards.
Turning, she also sees that the large desk dominating the center of the room has a side drawer, also locked.
She doesn't immediately see any way to open the window, apart from perhaps breaking it.
(DC 12 Thieves' Tools for each lock Jan want's to try and unlock).
IN THE KITCHEN:
Marrin/Jarrin is almost out of her scale mail armour. Soren is seconds behind, doing the same thing. Geffroi has wisely removed himself from the danger of melee to keep watch on the hallway behind the group. Ula, Hammerdasher and the two real prison guards are faced off against five of the black clad soliders. One soldier lies dead.
The sound of combat blasts in from the mess hall. There's a good chance more soldiers will come this way if they're getting the better of the prison guards.
Avaria is up.
IN THE PANOPTICON:
The handful of prisoners Solomona has encouraged to go down the north passage keep running that way. Down the hall, where guards would normally be stationed to man and watch the elevator that leads down to the ice dock, Solomona sees no one. Something has pulled the guards away from their posts, and if he had to guess, it wouldn't be hard to imagine the sounds of sword fighting have something to do with it.
Godrick and Korda do not make any attempt to head to the north passage, or to mingle with any prisoners. They continue moving westward, towards the passage on the west side of the Panopticon, the one that leads to a meeting room. Godrick looks at Solomona, but his expression is hard to read. The pair move almost to the entrance to the western hallway.
At the southern side of the Panopticon, Vonth finds himself alone with the dead Culver; the dead man's pouch in the massive hand of the Goliath. The remaining guard has almost stepped out of sight into the Surveillance Hub, the other prisoners have disappeared, and even Solomona is gone.
But then he sees movement to the northwest. Godrick and Korda moving across the Panopticon, arriving at the entrance to the western hallway that leads to the outer parts of the prison (approximately 60' away from Vonth).
