Montar stifles a retort and waits for the raider to leave, watching carefully to see where he takes Tam. Then, as soon as he's gone, he squats, lifts his arms above his head as far as they will go, and jumps with all of his strength straight up (3 1/2 feet from the ground, so arms >6 feet above the ground I believe).
While she’s still on the ground, Tam grabs two handfuls of sand, hopefully without the raiders noticing.
[hopefully I can use deception because that’s higher, but perhaps it is sleight of hand. Either way I rolled a nat 20! That’s 24 for deception or 21 for sleight of hand]
Waiting for the opportune moment when her bonds are untied, she throws sand in the raider’s face and runs.
Amadeus watches, eyes glittering with anticipation, as movements are made, ploys unfolding. He decides to try something himself, a little divide and conquer, perhaps to give the party some idea of where their supplies are stashed.
So he begins crying over his vest again. He makes sure he's juuuust loud enough to fall within earshot of the man cutting everyone's binds.
"All this tarnish and dust! Ugh! All the fashion!" He stifles a chortle, doing his best to keep the act up. What he says is absolutely true, and the vest is a tragedy, but he was ready to lose it, if necessary. This is too important... "300-thread count fine woven silk! And you, you... you brigands have tarnished it!" He shoots the criminal an obstinate glare, playing the angery pampered act as best he can. "Do you know how much of my gold I'll have to spend to get this clean?! Do you?! Not 10, not 15, but 25! At least! Has a worthless mongrel like you ever seen that much? Unbelievable! That's all of my traveling funds! All of it!" Now for the cinch. "...And you bumbling buffoons have it all!" With luck, muses the gnome, he'll head right for my pack... and the missive.
