Unfortunately I was one of their usual pickings... I used to be one of their gifted children they kept. I managed to escape though about ten years ago.Eoni then gestures to Draskan and Diomedes,These two poor souls happen to have become my friends and so have been roped into this whole mess.
Leowin and Rollo are currently watching from the trees as the day sly turns to night. They see a number of covered wagons get prepared and the children gathered up and taken from the compound. Of the 40 or so cultists that were originally seen three quarters appear to have left with the wagons by the time night falls. What do the pair of you want to do?
Leowin nods in agreement and relays Diomedes message to Rollo.
Sounds right. If we can start in the cellar, we'll be less exposed. Though I don't like all these wagons leaving. I need to have a word with the boss...
Leowin starts moving towards the entrance to the cellar, keeping a close eye out for traps or sources of noise.
Leowin slips through the woods like a shadow. There are no apparent traps, Rollo is slightly less stealthy but the noises from the wagons covers his less subtle movements. He notices a unique emblem on the side of the wagons which may be worth remembering for future discussions.
You arrive at the cellar doors, they are locked but not barred from the inside. If you have thieves tools you could probably pick the lock
Leowin turns to Rollo with a smile before making his way inside and starting down the stairs, keeping an eye out for any interesting items, signs, traps or hidden mechanisms.
Leowin starts to head down the stairs when he spots a false step. Pausing he locates the hinge and jams it open allowing for safe descent down the stairs. At the bottom you work your way along the aisles and locate the false wall. I’ll need another investigation check to locate the button
The button is a fake brick, discoloured by use and poor craftsmanship. With a click the fake wall recesses on hinges and you see your friends sat in their cells with another Male chained to a wall

There are more also, so I have a feeling we won’t be in here for long.
Hahahahaha a prison break? Excellent! Would you mind if I came along? Our hosts hospitality is somewhat lacking.
If you can aid us in our escape, then you’re welcome to come along when the time comes...
Oh I’ll most certainly be willing to help. Mahrad and I will be having a reckoning soon.......

Rollo draws his crossbow for silent killing and turns to Leowin
I suggest we try the cellar approach? I’m sure you’ll be able to pick the lock and get us in and il cover you

Leowin sidles up to the door and reaches into his pack, pulling out and unfolding a soft leather wrap. He kneels by the door and sets to work
Keep an eye out, eh?
Lockpicking 8
The lock resists your attempts to pick it, cursing and swearing under your breath you feel yourselves exposed out in the open.
Leowin, continuing to swear softly, takes a moment to compose himself before trying again to pick the lock.
Lockpicking 17
There’s a soft click than the locking mechanism releases and you gently ease the cellar doors open, stairs lead down into the wine racks
Leowin turns to Rollo with a smile before making his way inside and starting down the stairs, keeping an eye out for any interesting items, signs, traps or hidden mechanisms.

Leowin, recalling Dimodes' words from earlier, pauses at the false wall to locate the button.

Leowin makes his way in cautiously, still alert for traps, before greeting his friends.
Well hey. Lovely accommodation you've found. Who's this fella?
He gestures towards the chained up prisoner.
