A short while later, the cultist enters the tent to check to check in on you. Arliden casts Charm Person on her. [WIS save: 3]
She stops short and then looks over at Arliden and smiles happily. "What are you doing out of those shackles? Were they too tight? I could put them back on a bit looser for you."
"They were pretty tight actually, so we just figured we would take them off. We really can't go anywhere in this camp so I didn't think you would mind if we at least relaxed for a little while. I'm already stressed out enough as it is, I mean Fralum said we would die tomorrow and thats....honestly a bit more than I can handle right now. I haven't even found her yet, I at least wanted to talk to her again before I die, she was so special to me.
You know what that's like right? You have to have someone you care about, that you want to live to spend more time with. I just, look, I really don't care about whats going on here, I just need to get back on the road to find Liliana. Honestly this whole thing is a big misunderstanding and I've gotten way in over my head.
Oh! but you might be able to help me. I mean, looking at you, you clearly have some pull around here; the way you carry yourself, the silent sense of confidence, the good looks don't hurt either, I'm sure. I bet if you go talk to Fralum, and just explain that one of your friends was accidentally wrapped up in this, and that I don't pose any threat; I bet with your good word, she would let me go."
This whole time Arliden is very slowly moving towards her, in a very non-threatening manner, just calmly getting closer to her with a pleading look in his eye. Once he gets close enough he just puts a hand on her shoulder, sincerely asking for her help.
"But to be safe...everyone is in a better mood when you bring them something. Why don't you go get some ale, good ale too, and some choice meat, and take it to Fralum. Then you can explain that your friend really shouldn't be here, I don't need to be executed, I'm just out trying to find the love of my life. I bet that would do it, she'd surely listen to you. Can you help a friend out?"
"Hmmm...It'll take me a while to get the ale and meat. Are you sure you'll be ok waiting that long? I don't want to take you away from searching for Liliana any longer than necessary."
"I'm ok with waiting, I think the better the ale and meat the better the chances are that Fralum understands the mistake. I'll be here when you get back with the good news."
and he puts a hand on each of her shoulders and looks deeply into her eyes, "Thank you for doing this for me; I can't tell you how much it means to me."
"I will find the choicest ale and meat in the camp! I promise!"
Looking over at Rex she says, "You must be new. A bit of advice for you: the shift goes by much faster if you do more than just stand in here and watch them. Thanks for giving them some time to stretch, though." With that, she softly whistles as she leaves the tent.
Arliden waits until she has been gone for like 30 seconds, "Man, sweet girl, I almost feel bad that Fralum is probably gonna kill her when she finds out what happened. But ya, we need to leave right now. Try to stick close to the cliff walls and just be as quiet as possible. Hopefully between it being night and them getting blitzed celebrating it won't be too difficult, but if we get spotted we have to run for it.
....unless anyone's got a better plan."
Arliden also gets out some paper and quill from his cartographers kit and quickly jots down, "Fralum, please don't hurt the girl, I messed with her head. Girl, sorry, also you don't need to serve these people, live free on your own."
Novot nods. "That sounds about right." She looks over to the freed captives. "If any of you is planning on freezing up or doesn't think you can move quickly and quietly, it'd be best if you stayed here. They might even reward you for your loyalty. If that's the case, though, we will have to tie you back up for appearance's sake." And to not give you a chance to go squealing on us in an attempt to buy yourself freedom.
She moves to the back of the tent, nearest to the cliff wall. "Everyone else, line up here."

Go ahead and make a Charisma (Persuasion) check at advantage.
[Here we go: 22 ]
Meanwhile, Rex, seeing the charm has worked, stands to the side while silently whistling.

Rex coughs, “Oh right, right, thanks for the advice. I’ll... work on my approach.” Rex mentally projects, “So, what’s the plan? We moving now?”

All of the prisoners line up by Novot. Everyone go ahead and make a Dexterity (Stealth) check to leave the tent and sneak out of the camp.
