After resting a few moments so that the fatigue and aches of his wounds have abated somewhat, Yuri begins to feel optimistic with the presence of his comrades. He is relieved to see them alive and no worse for wear then himself. He whispers to Marle, "Who's in the first cell? I didn't have an opportunity to see when I was first brought in."Yuri inspects his shackles to see if they are standard shackles enchanted to block his powers; but still susceptible to lockpicking. His skills may be rusty; but useful to fall back on in a pinch.
<<OOC: Couple of questions: Are the cells arranged in a way that we might be able to reach our cuffed hands from one cell to another? Do the cuff limit all magic, or just arcane based magic (or would we need to test this?) and finally, I know our armor and weapons were taken, what about holy symbols/material components for spells.>>
OOC: The cells have a 15ft gap between them but y'all are facing one another. The cuffs block magic but you don't know the extent, test them if you'd lie. ALL gear was taken but yes you still have your holy symbol but no material components or like an arcane focus.

Marle replies to Yuri, "I haven't heard a word from him. He was here when I arrived."
Putting together his thoughts, Marle says, "Hyuuri could move to the end of this hall and strut around and screech, bringing them down to investigate. If Griff could have a warhorse storm through, that seems likely to get them jumping to the sides where we can grab them and take the keys."
"Are you ready?", he asks them, clearly excited by the prospect of a daring jailbreak.
Griff focuses on his holy symbol there's a brilliant flash but the divine energy is rebuked by some magical means. Griff then notices runes on his shackles seem to glow with sickly greenish-black energy canceling out his ability to call on his divine magic.

That gleam of excitement in Marle's eye is undimmed by this setback, and he says, "I guess we improvise," as he summons Hyuuri at the end of the hall farthest from the guards and commands him to start flapping around and screeching.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"What the..." the female guard shouts as the other two men also join in the calamity.
Moving forward the party sees the two men drawing blades as the female tells them to move out of her way. Marle sees the female guard, keys on her hip, taking out a heavy crossbow then knocks as bolt and fires at the bird.
Attack: 14 Damage: 6; the bolt however goes wide as the three guards burst out laughing. The female knocks another bolt.
OOC: Call the guard, I'd say G2 is closish to Jophrya but the female guard with the keys is dead center in the 15ft corridor the two other guards are astride her. Grapple away....

Yuri will stand ready as the guards are barely out of his reach; but perhaps as they attempt to evade Marle or Jophyra they will move to striking distance. In the meantime he will portray himself as semi-coherrent due to his previous wounds.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Marle commands Hyuuri, via their telepathic link, to fly past the female guard at around head height, as close as he can to her head, hoping she will take a few steps towards Jophyra in surprise. To add to the confusion, at the same time, he looks towards the dungeon entrance and calls out in his best relieved voice, "Finally! What took you so long!"

Yuri nods, an excited gleam in his eye.
Marle looks to Griff with a gleam in his eye. "Just say when."
Griff nods, "This will take a bit of time, about ten minutes. I will let you know when the incantation in nearly complete."
Griff attempts to cast Find Steed summoning his warhorse, Edwin, in the hallway outside the cells. Just before finishing the spell, he signals Marle.

Am I understanding the location of folks in their cells and the position of the guards correctly?

Purple dots are guards.

Roll intimidation for Hyuuri.
None of the guards seem to be taken in by your deceptions. They all seem to want so sport with the bird that randomly appeared in the dungeon.
