"Here, Duke. Allow me to help you this time. " - using the mind link to talk to everyone, Ree'lyn snaps the manacles off of the warforged's arms; it is as easy as that now.
"Here, Duke. Allow me to help you this time. " - using the mind link to talk to everyone, Ree'lyn snaps the manacles off of the warforged's arms; it is as easy as that now.
Duke looks at Ree'lyn and Svana as they help it out of its manacles. "The two of you served as an effective tandem in assisting this units escape." It said, in the closest thing it had to a thank you. It speaks telepathically to the rest of the group. " Declaration: If this group is forced to split up into smaller units, this unit has suggestions for the assembly of each unit. Suggested Unit 1: Phineas, Svana, this unit, Enkindle, Talike. Suggested Unit 2: Huey, Jezzika, Amara, Ash, Ronnal. Suggested Unit 3: Ree'lyn, Quinn, Gwen, Step-Step Thud. Secondary Declaration: An unidentified lifeform lurks in the bottom of the waterfall. Recommendation: Treat it as if it were hostile and avoid it."
Ree'lyn makes a sequence of gestures composed of air fist bump, finger pointing and clasping the back of his hands together in response to Duke's gratitude.
"We can jump off the cliff into the water in an order so that we can take advantage against the hostile creature. Whatever that is."
Ash, watching Ree'lyn's actions, smiles almost too happily as he gets his unmentionables grabbed by Jezzika. Ash uses this distraction to easily slip the unlocked manacles and neck collar off of herself before returning to the conversation.
"It would be best for the stealthier group to retrieve everyone's things. Personally I just want my leather armor, my axe, and my deck of cards. As long as someone can retrieve those for me I should be fine. The stealthy group should leap to the water once ready, but the other group should head for the path immediately and wait there. That is... if we split into groups."

Jorlan sneers at you all as he relieves the guards in the guard tower. They head towards the watchtower at AREA 1. Jorlan goes inside for a while, and comes back out, nodding to Jezzika as he walks the opposite way, heading towards the watch post at AREA 13.
Jezzika turns to the group. "Now.."she says. "Be quiet and be cautious. Go in the tower, grab your things, and jump down to the river. Avoid the webbing or you're spider food."
MECHANICS:
1. Each group that leaves the slave pen needs to make a DC10 stealth roll at advantage. Just one roll for the group as a whole - I don't care who rolls. Fail, and you're gonna alert the watchtower by the slave pen and have trouble. Pass, and you can get your gear and get dressed. This is the easy part.
2. Then, each of you, not the group, will need to make a DC10 Acrobatics or Athletics check to avoid the webbing below the walkway between AREA 10 and the slave pens to land in the river below. You can help each other if you want to jump two by two. Fail, and you miss - you (or both of you) are restrained in the webbing. Immediately each make DC12 STR check to rip free. Fail that and you're spider food to the numerous giants spiders who live in the webs. No exceptions. If you fail to rip free you get eaten you're out.
After getting the group safely to the tower, she grabs her things, including a set of sturdy traveling clothes, some leather armor, a small pouch, and a book that she flips carefully to (turning her back to the others as she does) before letting out a sigh of relief and closing it. She then turns to the other. "Time to jump."
"Nice job"Jezzika says, quickly dressing up, slipping on her tight studded leather leggings and top, her boots, and her long black leather jacket. She clips on her short sword belt, grabs her backpack, and quickly rummages inside to find her very weathered teddy bear. She affectionately hugs it to her face, whispers to it, and puts it away in her pack.
Phineas leads his group of allies out of the slave pen, crouching low and bidding them to move quietly.
Stealthy, stealth, stealth:13
Once free, he leads the group toward the power and works to retrieve his items. Assured that he has everything, he joins the others again and leads them to the jump point.

Duke collects its greataxe, the only possession that the Warforged had. Once at the walkway, Duke grabs Svana's hand. It makes sure to grab strong enough to actually get a grip, but not too strong where it hurts her hand. "Declaration: This unit will assist you in making the jump."
As Ash finishes grabbing her stuff, carefully tucking her cards in their spot in her armor and hooking her weapons to her belt, she peers over the edge at the webs. "Is there really no other way down?" Seeing her trapped comrades she let's out a swear, considering blasting them free but shakes her head.
If I make it to the bottom then I can blast them out from there and be less obvious... Hopefully?
When the answer is inevitably no (to the other way down), she let's out a sigh and looks between Ronnal and Huey.
"Huey. Those spiders down there will hurt you or your friends if you hit their webs. So you want to make sure you avoid the web or the spiders will hurt us."
She then grabs Ronnals arm once he is ready and takes a deep breath. "No time to waste I guess. Maybe I should have taken more lessons..."
She then hops down to the water below, aiming as far away from the web as possible, Ronnal falling beside her.
Oh good lord please no... Patron bless me! (Either athletics of Acro, same bonus 😅)
Roll 1: 21
Roll 2: 5
As Ash nears the water, she replicates the movement of those she's seen back at home. She lands in the water without a splash.
Amara sighs and nods at Jezzika. "Shall we, dear?" she whispers before murmuring "Sarastriel, I really hope you knew what you were doing." She wraps her good right arm around Jezzika and jumps.
Dicebot, I shall sacrifice whoever you want to you if you give me this: 14

Each step they took towards the tower felt loud in her ears, the elf paranoid about being caught out in the open like this. Thankfully, Phineas was skilled in the arts of passing without a trace and they managed to secure their items with no issue. Svana first rummaged through her items, pressing her forehead to her spellbook and mentally thanked the Gods it wasn't touched in any way. After putting it away, she changes into her clothes (having Duke stand with his back turned so she may keep whatever was left of her dignity).
im garbage at descriptions lol heres what her outfit basically looks like
her pants and boots are white as well with gold accents
When it came to the jump, Svana was relieved that the automaton was willing to help, so she closed her eyes and went for it...
Acro: 15
It was perfect! Until Svana realized Phineas was stuck on the webbing. She covers her mouth to stop herself from calling his name and prays to the Gods that he can break free from the webs.

Enkindle is anything but enthused after being woken up, even with the promise of freedom. Yet, she followed along as best she could, don what she could, and then... "Oh ya gotta be shit'n me. The plan is to jump in the water?"She whispers to the group just prior to phinenus jump. "I.. I... I..."She backs away from the edge, shaking her head furiously as the flame of her hair starts to die out.
It takes Talika goading (if not dragging) her on back for the big miss fire starter to return to the edge, muttering the foulest obscenities in dwarvish. "On three. One-..." There is no waiting for three. If she isn't dragged along with Tal, then her impulsive leap drawing the other woman with her sends the duo plummeting...
Duke obediently averted its gaze when Svana turned around, more out of general obedience than anything else. Not like the machine possessed the capacity for lust anyway. Regardless, it nailed its jump, after all, it wasn't going to fail to perform at a satisfactory standard. Not here. For some reason, Duke refrains from giving out survival probabilities when it sees Svana in distress over Phineas.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Phineas misjudges the jump, sticking to the webbing like a tasty spider snack. His eyes the size of saucers. His heart leaping out of his chest. He tries to wriggle free.
