Link's Out of the Abyss!

*OOC: @LinkArcher - Sorry, but I'm not clear about what's going on.  Is the party still at the work site, and you're waiting for one of us to post or reply to something before you move on to the next scene?  Or are you saying that we're already back in our pen and locked up?*

 *You guys are still at the work site. Have you finished with the blocks?*

*OOC: @LinkArcher - OK.  Do we need to do anything to complete this work task?  Or that happens automatically after some period of time, and we can just use this time to role-play some interaction with our Drow captors or to use Stool's telepathic bond to plan our upcoming escape?*

*OOC: As far as I could tell, that just happened automatically.  We were all working at the task until it was done, finding some additional items at the work site.  While working, we were also chatting telepathically, Nyskira sent off his familiar, and Shade stole the key to our shackles.  AFAICT, there's nothing that anyone else wanted to do here.  As Nyskira suggested, we're waiting until we get back to the pen and Jorlan unlocks the gate to make an escape attempt.*

 *Ok, great.*
As everyone finishes moving the blocks, Jorlan gathers everyone up and shepherds you with the help of the quaggoths back to the cell. He doesn’t fully close the door, instead resting it on the latch.

*OOC: Thanks!  That's clear.  The party may want to take a beat here to plan a bit more before we act. 

@LinkArcher - I don't know where on that map the tunnel to the work site would be.  From the map, it looks like the only routes from our pen (SP) are to head north to a dead end (the room with ⭐) or to cross the walkway and go through a room in that easternmost stalactite.  If we've been going through that easternmost stalactite, what have we seen there?  Is it just an empty room?  Was there anyone / anything there?

Also, did Nyskira's familiar find Ilvara's quarters?  Or do you need @Brian_Avery to indicate where on the map he sends the familiar first?*

And finally, using his own special telepathy with his familiar he will instruct it to seek out Ilvara's quarters and try to determine just where our equipment is located.
