Delrana finishes her bowl, it is no better than she imagined it would be but at least it will give some nourishment for the days toil. Hearing Buppido's words, she moves closer and shakes her head, "No, it is not the strong that survive, for there is always someone stronger. It is the determined and the shrewd. The determination to do what needs to be done, and to accept the possible consequences of those actions. Shrewdness to take the opportunities when they arise for down here more than anywhere they will be few."
Delrana:Buppido studies you for a moment before breaking into a grin. "Right you are! Right you are. Violence will only get you so far. You have to be smart," he taps the side of his head with a finger, "And as you said, willing to do what needs to be done. And that includes violence. And killing. Or it can include staying quiet and lying in wait for the perfect moment. Smart one there."He points at Delrana.
Stool in the meantime skitters over to Sarith, who pats its side.
"Bet you your next bowl of mushroom swill Shuushar the Awakened here ain't either of those things." Jimjar grins. Buppido grimaces, "Pass"

Brew telapthically (I can do that.) tells stool I’ve got a plan. Tell someone that I’m missing. Doesn’t have to be a guard. just tell someone, and be like, ‘I think Brew escaped.’
The Myconid hops up and down for a moment then nervously, "Stool doesn't want, doesn't want to connect the bad guys to our circle. But I'm sure Sarith will do it if Stool asks!"

Gorp starts to walk about the slave holdings, wasting time, and checking out the area once again. There wasn't much trouble a giant tortle could get into
Gorp: Go ahead and make an investigation check if you'd like.
also this is the area you guys are currently in.

Gorp: There isn't much you haven't already stumbled across in your time here. There's a chamber pot in the the back, otherwise you guys are not provided with cots, or even blankets or bedrolls. Most of the prisoners have claimed little areas for themselves throughout the pen. The twins have a collection of rocks and loose rubble they keep on hand. The bowls from your soup are all scattered around. At the front is a heavy iron gate, which you have seen the guards unlock to set you to work before.

"Aye, and when there is killing to be done, I shall not shy from that course. As surely as the seasons change, where there are drow, blood always flows." Landrae inclines her head and sends a rare smile towards Buppido, for she appreciates the lilt of his thoughts, "Tell me Buppido, how did you come about your stay here?"
Juniper, having only been imprisoned for a couple of days, is still feeling out his fellow prisoners. It's been easy to figure out who he should avoid - they usually make themselves known. Finding friends is a bit trickier. The atmosphere in the prisoners' pen is understandably tense, with captives scrabbling over food and feverishly working on escape plans, and that's why June hasn't yet volunteered any help. Were he alone, he may have already escaped; it's easy to slip past guards as a rat. But there are so many people here, and June escaping alone won't do anything to improve their lot.
He sits near the front of the pen, unwilling to sequester himself deeper in the cavern (he's already so far from the sun!), and when Gorp comes near, he looks up, watching him curiously. "Are you flagging down a guard?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Arno grabs his bowl and a couple of others before he begins to feel then and wonder exactly what they are made of.[intelligence check 16]
After that, he begins to pace around the complex as he had for the last couple days looking as if he is trying to keep up some minimal exercise.[Investigation to look as I walk briskly along feigning exercise 6]
Delrana: Buppido sighs, and it's almost a dramatic sigh. "Tragically boring. I was out in the maze that is darklake and got caught by drow slavers. Fought hard to get away, but me and my buddy were outnumbered. Sad to say my buddy didn't make it.
Arno:The bowls appear to be made out of clay. You don't find much more than the others. Chamber Pot, lack of comfort, pile of rocks the twins are keeping. There is a hint of something peeking out from underneath the twins stack of rocks. And a glint of something from behind Eldeth.
Brew and Juniper: Stool will turn to Sarith and inform him of Brew's plan, to which Sarith laughs. "Rather a stupid plan. Why don't you ask someone else." He does pat the myconid again before Stool hurries off, and over to Juniper who just mentioned a guard. "June! June! Brew wants us to tell the guards that he escaped so he can sneak out. Stool doesn't really get it, but Brew promise to come back for us!"
Gorp:It doesn't take terribly long for on the guards to notice you at the bars. "Eager to work already, huh? Well, hope everyone's done eating." He'll pick up a keyring from his belt, the other two guards coming forward now, and move to open the gate.

Stool! Stool! New plan. Just distract the guards as they let everyone out to work. I’ll attempt to steal a key. Maybe have the person you’re talking to help.
(Just wanted to ask for future reference. I was like, ‘svirfneblins can be invisible’ then figured, ‘with magic. Which they can’t use.’)

Bring out your inner chatacter class...
Hoping the guards will notice and slip up, Brew whispers to Stool shh. Move away. He attempts to hide in the shadows.
