Bigsby stand next to him... he relishes the soup. When he was free he often would keep some mushrooms or other fungus in his pocket for a snack. A small smile creaks across his face when he gets the soup. He will stand ready alongside Recywin. After taking a swig.
Still sitting in the corner, Garruk weighs his options before he stands and moves forward to stand near the others gathering at the call of the Drow. The work details, while brutal, get him outside of the anti magic field and allows the lifeforce of nature to flow through his body again for a short time. It also allows him to help spare some of the poor, wretched souls around him. He figures if he can’t do something about their captivity, then he may as well ease it. Besides, this way he can keep an eye on Rhogar, Recwyin, and maybe even Lucky (the figures talking of escape). All things considered, a couple of hours doing... whatever the Drow need... is worth the benefits.
Lucky glances at Rhogar and nods in silent acknowledgment that this may be an opportunity to learn more of their captives and for identifying an escape route. Then he looks down at his new favorite buddy and smiles protectively as if to reassure Leggy that this is a good idea.
"My legs could use a stretch." Lucky says to nobody in particular as he stands ready for work. Leggy seems to also stand up straight as if excited to hunt for more bugs elsewhere.
"Sarith, you coming or not? Tomorrow's never guaranteed, they say." Lucky hopes that Sarith remembers the words spoken only moments ago and makes his choice willingly.
If Sarith will not come, I spoke to Prince Derendil and he seemed eager to escape. A massive individual like him would be very helpful if Sarith chooses to stay behind. Rhogar will whisper to the others. A moment later he will look to his left shoulder for a moment as if to say something and then a slight look of sadness will wash across his face.... The ground is hard under his feet as he walks over to get some of the thin mushroom broth. Once in his hand, he will slurp the broth loudly and quickly until the bowl is empty. After holding the bowl up over his open mouth making sure that every last drop is consumed, he will place the bowl back by to slot and wait for the Work shift.
Jimjar the deep gnome says "Alright, alright. I'm coming too I suppose." as he sees no other volunteers get up. And he comes to join the work line. A few minutes go by and everyone finishes their broth, and 3 Drown guards come to get you.
Youre led out of the slave pens and acaross a wood and rope bridge that spans a large chasm. You have to go through the lower part of the guard tower built into a large stalactite. You come out the other side and cross another bridge before being taken to your destination.
The guard shows you where there has been a small cave in in one of the tunnels. He instructs you to haul the loose rocks and dump them over the edge of the chasm. "You better have it all cleared by the end of the day or Madam Ilvara will come and pay you a visit."
Everyone give me a strength check for the first half of the day. And let me know if you want to do anything other then work.
Rhogar will begin hauling rocks while also keeping and eye open for any sharp rocks that could be used as a blade, as well as trying to count the number of guards nearby.. (perception check 6) After brushing some of the lose hair from his face, he will attempt to use Prestidigitation to make a small puff of wind blow in his face in an attempt to determine if there is an anti-magic field in this area as well.
Rhogar will whisper to his companions "It sure would be a shame if our guards happened to fall into that chasm... as well as letting them know his findings after trying to cast the spell."
Strength - 21 made at advantage for powerful build?
Bigsby would also try to cast light to check the anti-magic field. He will also take some time to fray the end of his silk rope and tie it together to make a small pouch that will keep a rock in it for an improvised weapon.

Strength Check: 16
Lucky will investigate [9]the cave for another exit, or other people (not a part of this working crew) farther in.
Lucky walks past Rhogar and slips him his Flint Shard, as he whispers quietly,
"I'll tell the others to wait for your signal. If this is our time, we'll be ready. If only we knew where our belongings were though...this place is like a maze!"Lucky passes Rhogar a sly grin in an attempt to lighten the mood.

Garruk also attempts to connect to the natural magic. He casts frostbite on a nearby rock, hoping to see frost or ice crust up on the outside of it. He also looks for any wood (wooden beams, weapons, etc.) hidden in the rocks of the cave in.
Investigation: 6
If he finds anything sizable enough to be used as a makeshift club or quarterstaff then he will attempt to tuck it away under his shirt.

Rhogar has no problem hauling the rocks for the morning. He is pleased to discover his small gust of wind works out here, free of the wards inside the pen. He is unable to find anything useful in the rocks.
Bigsby also tests out that his magic works out here, quickly snuffing out his light before the guards see. He pockets a few small rocks in hopes of maybe making a sling later, out of view of the guards.
Recwyin spots an area way off to the far side of the cavern that might also lead out. It appears unguarded, but getting to it would leave you out in the open and visible for a long time. He tries to work at his chains for a bit, but without tools or some other means he doesn't think he can unlock them.
After some of the rocks were cleared away, Lucky could tell this tunnel leads to one of the two Barracks where the drow rest. After a while you can actually see 2 drow inside playing cards, waiting for you to free them. Farther down the cavern, away from the tunnel is an area that looks like it might lead out of here. But there is a guard tower posted right near it with 2 droe warriors keeping watch inside.
Garruk is also able to verify his magic works. While clearing some rocks he notices a piece of a bar that might have been part of a gate. The bar is long enough he could use it as a club. He tucks it away.
A guard notice Garruk and Lucky aren't pulling their weight, and comes over and gives them each a swift kick, dealing 3 DMG.
Everyone roll another strength check for the second half of the day, and let me know if you want to do anything else.

Thrilled by his small victory, Garruk barely feels his punishement. He returns meekly to work under the gaze of the guards.
Strength: 13
While he knows he is pushing his luck, Garruk keeps his eyes open for mistletoe or a similar plant. Although he is aware that such plants are rare in the underdark, such a thing would enable him to cast a spell to ease his wounds and his gnawing hunger.

The guards will return soon. We need another. I know we don't all know each other but if we don't work together none of us will survive.
