Upon seeing the key dangling from the guard's belt Sibyl gets an idea. She takes a deep breath and summons all of her courage. She stands and closes her eyes to collect her thoughts and focus everything into a single command. Although she speaks as loudly as she can when syllables pass her lips they are barely audible, at least to anyone inside the cage. The guard, however, hears it all too clearly.
Approach. She commands him.
He only needs to pass a Wisdom 13 saving throw to save, otherwise he'll come to us.
If the guard doesn't pass and starts walking toward us Sibyl throws all caution to the wind and runs up to the bars telling everyone, The key, get the key!
Otherwise she will slide back to the floor and hug her knees as before, hoping nobody noticed her failure.
"Wouldn't know. Never really been to one" is all Vena says before falling silent. After a moment she pipes up again. "You really shouldn't point that thing at your captives. It's not a toy you know, crossbows are big boy weapons. I bet you couldn't hit a target if you tried, let alone a bullseye"

Startled by the sudden flurry of activity Dart grasps at the necklace under his shirt. A wave o relief washes over him as his finger close around it. Acting more on instinct than thought he casts sleep on all those around him.
The guard jumped up when flames suddenly burst out near where he sat. Spitting out curses under his breath, he snapped his head towards the captives and locked eyes with Vena who he thought responsible since the others seemed way to scared to dare do anything.
A voice inside the guards head tells him to approach the jail where the captives are in, he struggles to disobey but after taking a few steps towards the jail he manages to get out of the spells influence. He did come closer to the Jail and would now be about 10 feet away from everyone. Opening his mouth to give a smart remark back to Vena, his eyes suddenly feel heavy and he sinks to his knees and falls unconsiouss in a deep slumber.
The same effect takes hold of almost everyone in the cell. The mage hand that Carnic used to get the keys losing it's concentration, the keys fall on the ground about 5ft away from you all.
(@Dart: You can take an action to wake someone up or try to get the keys from the ground if you can reach it)
As everyone falls unconscious Dart starts to breath again. Taking in what the others had been doing he recognizes the spell that had been floating the keys toward them. Using his own Mage Hand he retrieves the keys from the floor. He starts making his way to the cell door when the guards words to him come to mind. Thinking better of facing what lies waiting in beyond this cell he moves to the other Tiefling and shakes her awake. I'm sorry. I was scared and I think I put everyone to sleep. But I have the keys now. So we can wake the others and sneak out if we are quiet.
Jade slowly raises to her feet...."What the...." she sees the jailor asleep and notices Dart has the keys..."I don't know how you did it but great work Dart. We also should gag him so when he wakes he won't alert others."
Still very groggy from waking up, Carnic yawns, "Ah, yes. That would be wise." He gets up and goes over to retrieve his equipment from the pile, bringing the remaining belongings to everyone else.
Having been shaken awake, Vena blinks a few times before she chimes in to the conversation about what to do with the guard. "I agree. Drag him in, gag him and pat him down for anything that might be of use. Or shoot the guy with his own crossbow. Saves the dragging and gagging"

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Out of fear more than anything Sibyl continues to pretend to be asleep (poorly) until she notices that the door is actually open. She is worried about what the other prisoners are going to do to the guard, but too scared to do anything about it. Still fearful and wary of everyone she carefully exits the cell and then immediately runs to gather her things.
Seeing Carnic with her equipment, she gingerly reaches out, and then snatches her equipment out of his hands. Just before she runs off, she looks sheepishly through her hair at Carnic and utters a barely audible thank you then goes over to the table with the lantern and starts dressing/strapping everything in.
As soon as she has everything in order she grabs the lantern and presses herself against the door and tries to see (if there are any bars or keyholes) and hear what is beyond it. She's also trying to be stealthy but also trying to avoid being near any of her fellow prisoners so she's being pretty clumsy about it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Carnic brings the gear back in Dart quickly grabs up his daggers and other meager belongings. As his eyes fall on the food some of the others carry he feels the familiar pang in his stomach telling him that it is not quite full. As nonchalantly as he can he puts three of the rations into his own pack.
After finishing dragging the guard into the cell Jade sees the others gathering their equipment and goes to do the same. She re-arms herself with her daggers and quarterstaff. Puts her leather armor back on, stows away her backpack, checking to see it still has her rope, rations, tinderbox and assorted other gear inside. She is not ready to raise some hell.
"So guess now we see who is behind this and find a way out." she says to the others from the cell.

OOC: I wasn't sure if we were rolling checks or the DM, also I think it is an intelligence check on the jailor if it works

Carnic, seeing the current, prepares to use Mage Hand.
In the case the guard attempts to shoot Vena, he'll use it to push the crossbow upwards, so as to throw off the shot.
If he doesn't/Sibyl's Command (love the spell btw) works, he'll use it to grab the keys.
Jirak is ready to grab this jerk, pull his wrists through the bars and rip his arms clean off.

(I always roll twice in case there’s questions about advantage/disadvantage)
add 2 if it’s athletics and not just straight strength check.
these bars must be too small to fit my arms through lol

After Venatrix is awake Dart moves to Sibyl and then Carnic doing much the same.
Moving to the cell door Dart unlocks it. Then looks nervously at the guard. He will wake soon. maybe we could put him in the cell fast?
