Is there a window to the outside In This room? If so let’s use a rope and lower everyone out that way then we can be back on our way. Or is there a southern exit to this room that might gain us purchace to the wall side so we can try to get people out that way. Standing here is doing us nothing it is time for action!

"Best way without danger" Renwick says "well as you can see I had the window's bricked up long ago, I think the best way is to go the way you came in, you know back over the wall. Let me know when you're ready and I'll see what I can do to help!"
At the mention of the chance to leave, "Gotrek perks up at the mention of a chance to change the scenery, no offense to you Renwick, my I do feel like some fresh air, if you are able to help, lets get these prisoners out!" with that Gotrek heads to the door, ready to lead the group back out via the garden.
OOC: I am assuming that the party will travel in the same order as they came up from the crypt - i.e. Gotrek and Tiboldlead in first rank, second rank is Thromkor and Bruldenthar, then 16 prisoners in eight ranks of two with Cole bringing up the rear.
A gentle reminder - they wont happen often - the party has 20 person days of rations between them and you need 21 person days worth to feed everybody for the next 24 hours.
The party get the prisoners ready to leave (see spoiler above) the monastery which takes about 10 minutes. As Tibold and Gotrek approach the door and one of them whispers the password, it opens. Peering out into the Garden they see that the entire garden is obscured in fog and they can just make out that the other two doors into the Garden appear to be festooned in cobwebs. The party quickly moves through the garden and up over the wall. It takes about 10 minutes to get everybody up and over the wall before the party moves up the blind canyon. When they get to the campsite they find that Redleaf and Lanoros had left - possibly not long after the party set off for the Monastery this morning.
Attempting to help everyone get settled, Thromkor takes it upon himself to take stock of rations and water. When he realizes they're quite short of what is needed to keep this many people alive for long, he comments, "They've got to have food and water inside. One of our goals for tomorrow must be to find their food stores." He then hobbles about, checking over injuries and offering what aid he can to comfort those suffering in any way.
After the 10 hours of rest are over, Thromkor stands. He mutters something in Draconic, and the orb at the top of his staff begins to glow brightly. "Is it time to go back in?" he asks his three companions. He looks to the nearest prisoner and says, "We will return as quickly as possible. Hopefully with the rest of the prisoners, and with more food and water."
Returning to the Monastery: 8.30 pm - Day 5 - First Ten-day - Kythorn (Month of Flowers)
Party Order - Single file Gotrek, Cole, Tibold & Thromkor. Doors – it is a time-honoured Australian tradition to leave a gate in the Outback as you find it. That is, if it is open leave it open, if it is closed close it; I will assume that unless otherwise stated the party leaves all doors as it finds them! Stealth – I will assume that unless stated otherwise party members are moving stealthily – at the slower rate of 20 feet per round – and will make checks accordingly in Discord.
It is about 8.30 pm by the time that the party has rested (long rest) and got themselves organised to re-enter the Monastery. Although the sun set about an hour ago, there is a three-quarter moon which provides more than sufficient light – for those without night vision - to see where they are going. As the party approaches the Monastery, they do so quietly and to the surprise of all, Gotrek footfalls cannot be heard at all, they see that it is completely dark, with just the faintest glimmer of light coming from the two long windows/arrow slits on the northern side. As the party climbs back over the wall and into the Garden they see that it continues to be obscured in fog and as per earlier today they can just make out that the other two doors into the Garden appear to be festooned in cobwebs. The party approaches the door and whispers the pass-word. As they do so the door opens silently and they are once again standing on the lit landing. Thromkor closes the door behind them and as they look up the stairs they can see that the door to Renwick’s laboratory is closed and then is some sort of note pinned to it. Directly in front of them hanging off the sconce they see an amulet of some sort and attached to it is a note which reads ‘somebody might find this of use?’
Thromkor's eyes go wide and he reaches forward rather unceremoniously and snatches the amulet out of Tibold's hand. Holding the item close to his dragonborn eyes, they get even wider. "Unless I am mistaken," he says, still looking the artifact over, "this is an Amulet of Health!" he says, quite excited. "I have read that once an individual has some time to bond with it, it makes that individual nigh invulnerable to sickness or even to getting tired!" He looks at the other three with a face full of wonder. "Who wants it?"
Gotrek turns back, "I will never say no to something like that!"He quickly makes an exaggerated effort of looking over the rest of the party and adds, "Althouh, looks like some of you could use it more." He says with a chuckle.
"If the four of us were lined up shoulder to shoulder, I might be in the most need," Thromkor admits, giving Tibold a once over and then shrugging, "but as I try to stay in the back, I'm willing to allow another to benefit from its magic. I believe it is able to be passed from neck to neck if we decide a different plan is better later on."
"Thromkor is right, I believe. However, we can't pass it back and forth too quickly; whoever uses it will need to bond with it first, like with many magical tools."Tibold glances at Cole.
"Are you sure you have no need of this? Neither Thromkor or I will be wanting to be in the front lines like you so often are..."
Thromkor pockets the amulet. "We're not in a position for anyone to spend any time with it now. As we continue, consider the possibility, and we can discuss who should wear it later." He looks at them all. "Shall we continue?"

Leaving the Monastery - 9.25 am

Insight: 16
Medicine: 7
Tibold grunts, but attempts to help with this as well.
Medicine: 9
And that's all I have to say about that.
The prisoners have the odd scrape and bruise and cut. Nobody has anything life threatening but they are suffering from a degree of malnutrition.

Thromkor shares his rations with the prisoners.
Gotrek will share some of his rations and then after the rest be ready to lead the group back into the monastery.
OOC: Let's hit that long rest button!
After the 10 hours of rest are over, Thromkor stands. He mutters something in Draconic, and the orb at the top of his staff begins to glow brightly.

SO WHAT'S NEXT?
DM - Stopping a god in his tracks
Gotrek turns towards Thromkor and Tibold, "Do one of you guys want to do your magic thing and see what this amulet does?"
Gotrek will then lead the group back to the mine entrance guarded by the orogs and ogre.
Tibold begrudgingly shared his rations, though he let only a bit of his irritation show.
Tibold shrugs slightly, stepping forwards. He grabs the amulet and pulls it off the sconce, turning it over and over in his hands as he examines it.
Not sure what kind of check, Arcana or Investigation would both be 11
And that's all I have to say about that.
If allowed (by the DM), Thromkor looks over Tibold's shoulder at the amulet in the bard's palm.
Arcana: 6
Thromkor's eyes go wide and he reaches forward rather unceremoniously and snatches the amulet out of Tibold's hand. Holding the item close to his dragonborn eyes, they get even wider.

Give it to our sickest or our front man, I have no need for it at this time

Tibold yawns.
"Thromkor is right, I believe. However, we can't pass it back and forth too quickly; whoever uses it will need to bond with it first, like with many magical tools." Tibold glances at Cole.
"Are you sure you have no need of this? Neither Thromkor or I will be wanting to be in the front lines like you so often are..."
And that's all I have to say about that.
Thromkor pockets the amulet. "We're not in a position for anyone to spend any time with it now. As we continue, consider the possibility, and we can discuss who should wear it later." He looks at them all. "Shall we continue?"
