Hearing the now familiar jingle of keys that signal a day of labour, Delrana turns her head and looks towards the gate, "I guess we should continue this later. I fancy no lashes for chatter today."
Delrana nods to Buppido as she rises and moves towards a few of the new folk gathered near the gates.
If Delrana sees Brew trying to skulk to the gate, she'll tell him to come up with something less obvious as a plan, and save them all having to pick up his share of the work after he is executed.

Juneisn't much a fan of the plan Stoolrelays to him; it sounds like the kind of foolhardy idea that's more likely to end in punishment than freedom. He winces and reaches out to gather Stool close for a gentle pat, shaking his head. Anything he might have said aloud is forestalled by the arrival of the guard.

Arno takes note of the shiny items and heads over with the bowls. As he does he smiles. offering the bowls.
He holds them out and smiles a stupid grin before he drops them. He hopes the guard goes down for one in hopes to steal some keys. If not he knows he is getting a beating for sure But then he might know more about what else he could possibly come away with.
"Someone here'll make a good slave." one of the guard's sneers in Gorp's direction. Behind him two hulking quaggoths appear. Derendil cringes, smoothing his hands over his own body in an attempt to appear more civilized than the monsters out there.
When Arnodrops all the bowls onto the floor, one of them shatters. Another cracks, and the drow guard in front stares at the human in contempt. Once the noise stops he says, "You all can thank this one. Every bowl that was destroyed, that will be one less bowl of food tomorrow. Now pick 'em up."

if he succeeds, he then dashed out of the room and will run towards the nearest hiding place, if any. If there are none, he books it away from the guards.

As soon as Brew goes for the keys, the two drow behind the one in front spring into action. One pulls out his short sword, taking a wack at Brew with it. The other tries to grab him to keep him from running any further. Sword: Attack: 7 Damage: 8 Grapple: 3 (roll acrobatics or athletics to contest)
If the drow manages to grapple Brew one of the quaggoths will move forward to help hold him down. If Brew manages to get out of the grapple, one will make two claw attacks against him, and the other will try to grapple him instead. Claw: Attack: 25 Damage: 8 Attack: 7 Damage: 5 Grapple: 7
The guard who the keys had been taken from yells that the prisoners are trying to escape and draws his sword.

You are all aware that there are usually guards in the tower who keep watch on the slave pen. There are usually a number of guards in the barracks at any given time. Spider webs stretch across the the stalactites about 20ft below the cliffs edges. The bottom is about 100ft down, and all the waste is thrown into the water below.
Brew you are just at the doors to the pen, running will provoke an Attack of opportunity from one Quaggoth, (the overweight one that tried to grab at you.)

The spell almost feels like it's not going to work. You can barely feel the magic of your patron, but after a moment it kicks in and you move.The Quaggoth will get it's attack of opportunity against you as you move away from it, much faster than anyone would expect. Attack: 18 Damage: 6
You manage to barely scrape by the Overweight Quaggoth catching its claws in your backside but still moving. You move across the rope bridge, into the guard tower and right past 3 drow sitting around a table. They see a blur run past, and then hear the shouts from Guldur in the pen. They immediately draw their weapons and give chase. Jevan: 20 Kalannar: 5 Malaga: 14
With 60ft of movement you're able to reach the shrine to Lolth at the top of the stalactite that contains the priestesses quarters. In the middle of the room is a Giant Spider atop a pedastal, and a lone female drow kneeling on the floor before it. Asha: 20 Giant Spider: 5
Either your action is to unlock yourself, or to investigate the room.

Initiative: 18
Delrana looks as Brew makes his attempt, a feeling of dread at the possible repercussions repressed as she waits to see what unfolds, "Speaking of opportunities..." She says under her breath to Buppido.
Edit after seeing the initiative: To save time, Delrana won't participate in combat unless the slaves start to gain serious momentum in this. However, if a random drow comes near her having already been attacked, she will ready an action to try and grapple them, or strike them if already grappled.
"If this breaks out into a mass brawl, we're all going to pay for it whether we get involved or not." Her shout is directed towards Gorp and Shuushar, but it is hard to tell whether it is to encourage action, or to try and stop any escalation

Brew casts Expedious retreat and runs toward the Guard towers, then books it towards the Priestess’ quarters, and attempts to find his equipment.

and, if he can do so using the keys he stole, he will unlock himself.
