After somehow barely dodging the tongue with his pants still very much around his ankles, an indignant Flux clicks his tongue and waggles a finger at the Mimic. "I've known plenty of fair maidens to be wanting me family jewels, but few have been so fortunate as to even behold'em! But fret not, my greedy friend,. For you I shall gift... a Golden Shower!! Yar har har har!!" As he makes this declaration, he whips his arms out wide and lets nature takes it course! Alas for the Mimic, a silent prayer and divine backing seemed to have accompanied the release, or so I might soon discover should its instincts fail to prevail. And if that wasn't bad enough, down again comes the barnacle scrapper for good measure upon its tongue!

Moradin's Shrine Sabynn moves in to comfort and release four of the closest prisoners who are all chained in a row along the eastern wall. Following her ears, Ebele finds two more prisoners to the north west wall and proceeds to free them.
Kerric keeps a vigilant eye on the hallways. With his experience in the field, a patrol could come at any time. But right now, this appeared clear. Nothing but the faintest hint of the same music can be heard from the farthest west end of the hallway that they left to come this way.
Showing great compassion and empathy, Sabynn calms the terrified prisoners and gains their trust. The four she released were human travelers who were drugged and kidnapped by cultists in Yartar. They were shipped downriver to be indoctrinated into the cult or sacrificed. One of the prisoners who introduces himself as Bero Gladham tells Sabynn that his wife Nerise was taken below by the cultists.
Attentive ears listen to Sabynn's way of speaking. She was tender, and caring. Ebele takes a breath, slowing her actions and being more mindful of the way she handled the prisoners before her. Thus, she introduces herself. "My name is Ebele, a monk of mercy with the Crying Visage." Freeing their hands, she reaches up to flag Kerric over, and pulls out her healing kit to begin tending to their wounds. Then, she begins speaking in a deeper tone, dwarvish.
Once Kerric would come over, Ebele would introduce him to Rhundorth and Bruldenthar. The elven fighter would notice their sigils and garb immediately identifying them as shield dwarfs. He'd also recognize Rhundorth as a master smith, and a delegate from Mirabar. Hearing the name Bruldenthar, Sabynn would know them as a renowned historian.
(Apologies I perhaps should know this, but any Harper agents? If so, they would know that Bruldenthar was also a part of the delegation, transporting his collection of manuscripts to Waterdeep. The Harpers don't want the sage or his books to fall into the wrong hands.)

The white-haired half-elven courtier listens to the tortured prisoners, feeling great sympathy for them all. She knows she can't really make such a promise but she reassures Bero that they will go below soon and rescue his dear wife too. She didn't possess magic to heal any wounds on those tortured but she does what sha can, using her magic to clean the wounds, hoping they won't get infected. "Can someone see to the wounds of these people..." She says calmly, but with authority in her voice, looking up at her own rescuers as she kneels by those just freed. "...and some water, they must be thirsty."
Moradin's Shrine Bruldenthar accepts the offered book from Kerric with deep gratitude. "I dunnae know how long we been here." He admits. Being a prisoner down here, one loses all sense of time. Regardless, it felt long. Kerric would soon come to realize that only the two dwarves were from the delegation. This was not all of them.
Looking to Herse Rhundorth would reply. "Ambushed few miles frum Summit Hall. Bound, bagged an' gagged."

"Do you know anything about this place? Can you explain how we can reach the lower levels with the least resistance for example?"She asks as gently as possible.

The white-haired half-elven courtier says, glancing over at the blindfolded monk beside her, briefly taking her hand to give it a grateful squeeze.

"And let dat be a lesson to ya mate about the sanctity of man's communion-" He declared nevertheless, before then spitting an acidic wad off to the side. Only afterwards does he look up and notice Kerric, and with a sheepish smile and haphazard gesture to the water closet he says, "Booby trapped. Took care of it though."
An awkward moment passes before, realizing he still had to go, he holds up a finger in a halting gesture prior to wattling his way back inside the room, closing whatever remained of the door behind himself. All the while hopeful that at least there was a hole or some equivalent still useable in the room. If not, well... he would still a nice, stinking gift in the room and practice his power squat while at it.

“Aye, we ken walk.” Rhundorth nods to Herse. The master smith was perhaps the only viable fighter out of the lot of prisoners.
With discussions interrupted by an explosion, Kerric rushes out of the room to see what all the hubbub was about. Ebele squeezes Sabynn’s hand, protectively positioning herself in front of her. “Come.” She directs leading them back to the next room after Kerric.
The prisoners look to each other then to their rescuers. They’d follow after the group across the hall into the cultist living quarters. Their eyes go wide as they take in the scene.
Flux indeed manages to at least find a hole where the toilet once was. While the door was still on its hinges, there was only a third of it available for privacy. Nothing a blanket curtain couldn’t fix if required. Regardless, now having had time to reflect, again, and relieving himself of a shitty situation, he’s reminded of the reason he secured first dibs of the privy. Scrolls, vials, salves and bath salts!
Hearing the ruckuss, the white-haired half-elven courtier nods and follows the blindfolded monk, holding on to her hand for reassurance. As Sabynn enters the site of the shit storm she quickly backs off though. She was not a coward but there were some situations she simply wasn't equipped to handle and she wanted to give the bluish dwarf some real privacy as he finished up his personal business, even stepping back into the corridor while trying to handle the quite disturbing sight she just accidentally walked in on.

All the while hopeful that at least there was a hole or some equivalent still useable in the room. If not, well... he would still a nice, stinking gift in the room and practice his power squat while at it.
