Amnesty let's out a small sigh at her lack of magic before returning to the letter. Amnesty will make sure no one is watching her and investigate the letter closer. If the letter is open, she will attempt to read it while also organizing whatever else is on the desk. If the letter has not been opened previously (meaning the seal is still together), she will consider her other options of items around her as she organizes. While organizing, she will attempt to converse quietly with anyone else (assuming the others followed them there). Speaking in common she will occasionally glance at the others while they work around the room, still checking for anything of use. "Anyone know anything useful for 'later'? More specifically about how long we have? Anything we may need for the others? Anything else we should know about this place?"
Her cryptic way of conversing is to simply imply their escape, she will speak more freely if the others feel comfortable discussing such matters. She's eager to escape, but not stupid enough to blow their plans.
She will glance at Razak with a slight smile. "Finding anything interesting Razak? I'm sure, as to most of us, the drow's culture is newer and holds some curiousity."

Realizing he remains unseen and can see what is outlined by the faerie fire, Ree'lyn addresses the guard in Drow language "I have seen these slow beasts fight. Go around it to its left, he will leave that opening for you to strike as it tries to hit frontward were you were last positioned." With that, Ree'lyn expects to convince the guard to move to the place of the pit, falling in it by mistake.
Z'ress will move to attempt to use the Help action as she grabs at the guard as well to give Shushar advantage to throw the male drow out of the tower. Also if she can she wants to try and take his weapon for herself. "If you can not throw him then choke the life out of this miserable filth."
Once Gwendolyn is stabilized and put in a safer location, Talike will go back into the pen and continue cleaning up. She starts with pile two and will continue to the top pile and third pile if the quaggoths stay docile.
Nature (to see if Talike knows anything about quaggogths) : 11
Amnesty is furtively glancing around the room while she investigates the drawer. As she asks questions, Prince Derendil respond to her: "We are supposed to be sent to The City of Spiders and sold as slaves, if you want to know more you should ask Sarith the drow, he is in group 3 though." As they are talking, Razak tries to open the chest inconspicuously, but he didn't see the lack of grease in the hinges which make a squeaky, scratchy noise reverberating through the whole room. The quaggoth that was cleaning the room turns towards Razak and gets wind of what the kobold is doing (Wis(Insight)16 vs passive Dex: 13). He then hastily moves to catch Razak's throat (Str(Athletics):17 vs passive Dex:13), effectively chocking him in mid air and preventing him to move.
Talike only:
As you start dragging Gwendolyn back to safety, you see a quaggoth observing his surroundings (Wis(Insight)17 vs passive Dex: 15) and spotting you. But as the beast is about to charge in your direction, a dwarf prisoner tries to attract his attention, using her knowledge of the local fauna (Int(Nature): 6) but fails, she starts throwing rocks instead (Dex(Sleight of hand): 6) but it completely misses the mark. The quaggoth charges Talike (Attack rolls:79) but is only grazing the wind.
Ree'lyn and Z'ress only:
The situation quickly escalates into full blown chaos, the guard tries to quickly get a hold of what's happening (Intelligence check: 2) without success, he is now confused as everything is plunged into darkness and glowing silhouettes all around him move in a ballet of colorful lights. Z'ress reaches for one of his weapons (18 vs Wis(Perception): 3), managing to take both his weapons(Crossbow, Hand with 12 Drow Poison (Injury) and Shortsword) and the key to their constraints. Shuushar tries to shove the guard down the pit again (Str(Athletics):8 vs Wis(Perception):3), this time pushing him down the guard tower without a single sound, as if in the confusion he didn't even realize. You hear a loud splashing noise as he hits the pool.
A broad smile and look of relief show in Ree'lyn's face as he looks at Shuushar and Z'ress. "The only misfortune was us having missed the opportunity to grab the armor for you, Z'ress." Then, extending his shackled arms in front of himself and with a wink saying "If you would be so kind."
"You would do well not to speak to me so flippantly. You just saw what happened to last male to do such a thing." Z'ress says as she undoes her own before moving to the rest of them and begrudgingly undoing the shackles. With that she will stow the short sword at her side and ready the hand crossbow.
Ree'lyn's look become flat, and he inhales deep. "Unless you intend to be a first line striker and a ranged attacker, all by yourself in this dire situation, it might be better if I have the hand crossbow as I am quite good with ranged attacks and you go to the melee, oh mighty Z'ress. Leave it to me."Turning to the kuo-toa, he says "Shuushar, you could use your open shackles, after Z'ress frees you, as a weapon, right? You could swing them at the next enemies. But wear them as if they still were locked, just so you have a little advantage of surprise."
Amnesty, noticing the commotion but getting Razak's message will quickly try to steal the letter and look around and subtly move around the room to investigate for anything else of value while the quaggoth is distracted. If she sees anything of interest, she will subtly move to it and try to either pocket it or make eye contact with Razak to try to steal on their way out. Once sufficient with her looking around (if Razak is still being choked) she will try to step in to the small creatures aid. "Excuse me. I think this is all a misunderstanding. We are all simply trying to clean the room as instructed." (Is this Quaggoth Derendil? Or a guard Quaggoth?)

Persuasion (to talk Razak out of this situation) : 20
The quaggoth (not Derendil) holds Razak firmly and dismisses his attempt at deception (16). The kobold only has a minute left before he runs out of air (next turn).
In the meantime Amnesty manages to pocket the letter, doesn't see anything around the room and quickly rummages through the place, looting a Potion of Healing, a Rope, Silk (50 feet) and 15gp.
In the meantime, Derendil tries to pick up a side table and smash it on the quaggoth's head (6), as it bursts, the splinters reach his eyes and blind Derendil without hurting the quaggoth. "My boots that Razak will die" is hopping merrily Jimjar.
The quaggoth considers Amnesty's attempt at calming the situation down (7), he releases his grip on Razak and grunts loudly his frustration, then goes back to his chores as if nothing happened. Jimjar looks dejected as Buppido takes his boots.

Amnesty gives a slight look to Derendil and Jimjar. "I don't know if that was necessary Derendil, but are you alright?" She then looks to Jimjar. "Good to see you lost your boots. We can't afford to lose anyone. And maybe it'll teach you to bet less." She will then walk over to Razak and kneel to help him up, whispering slightly. "Are you alright? Try to be a little more careful next time. I may not be able to talk you out of it again." Once he is to his feet and okay, Amnesty will return to give the room one last look over, trying to straighten up anything that got disturbed in the rustle while looking for anything else left that has some interest. She will keep a careful eye on any quaggoths (guards and Derendil) while she moves about the room. If she finds anything left of interest (she is also looking for any empty books such as a journal or sketchbook. Anything she can use as a new spellbook), she will either try to pocket it or point it out to Razak silently.

Gripping his neck and wheezing "Thi... This one.. This one thanks you!" Almost dying Razak just pockets the feathers and doesn't want to risk dying today.
Amnesty:
Another message pops in Amnesty's head "This one thinks we shouldn't risk it a second time. Regroup and figuring our next move would be safest."

"Let's seize the opportunity and find our way through this place one room at a time. With Shuushar as our front line, I will place myself right behind him for cover and quick response to enemies. You, dear Z'ress, come safely behind. Just let me have the hand crossbow and we will get out. I feel my powers flowing through me again." Ree'lyn smiles saying that and locks his eyes with Z'ress'.
Amnesty nods and offers Razak a supportive smile. Once she is done investigating the room, she will walk with Razak and the rest of the group towards the waiting guard and gain their attention. "The room spotless and lustered as instructed. What next?" (Ooc: This is after she investigated the room.)
"If you have magic then use it. With out being able to call upon Lady Lolth I have no way to use my magic other then what all drow are capable of." Z'ress says as she hands him the weapon. "Be on the look out for more weapons or if possible a shield."
As he waited for her reaction, Ree'lyn was hovering his hands over his head and body making himself clean.
Witha deep bow and the flourish of his hand, Ree'lyn causes a sparkling effect on Z'ress hair causing what was then plastered and dirty now to be clean and silky. Using a second Prestidigitationhe causes the area around her to become perfumed with the scent of wildflowers.
Before they leave, he makes Shuushar's skin to be just in the right temperature for an underwater amphibian.
"Thank you, Z'ress. Let's prove our cooperation to be hazardous to our enemies." With that, he places himself just enough to examine the room and the way out.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Talike tries to leave the pen as fast as she can without startling another quaggoth. If she is able to make it out alive, she addresses the dwarf.
"Thanks for the rocks. (and in a whisper) I think there is a chance that we could convince the quaggoths to help us escape from the drow. If we could get the quaggoths to cause a distraction, we might be able to sneak out of the cage the drow keep us in. What do you say?"
