Aye mister, I can help you, but first I need my battleaxe and to get out of this here cage. Who are you lot anyway and why are you here? I got told I wouldn’t be getting any visitors till after the grub had been served up.
Coal can see that the lock is quite simple and could be easily forced with the tools even he has to hand. The way the lock is fitted, no amount of clunking and clanging from the inside would have allowed her to get out.
The bristly man smiles with one side of his mouth and a dark glint in his eye.
Leave me to my business? Tortle, you two have become my business. I have a reputation for getting things people want, and the Zhents want her.
At that, the wall opens behind him and a dart comes flying out, hitting Merry in the neck. Before it has even had time to register, the boss grabs Merry's lute and breaks it over her head then grabs her and throws her toward the passage behind him which slams shut.
Coal pulls out his thieves tools and proceeds to work on the lock Don’t worry we’ll get you out of here and then you can use that axe on these gits while we look for our friends.
Yara immediately dons the wolf skin atop her head, wearing it as though it were a cloak with a hood. Then, somehow, she manages to lift her giant battleaxe and grins at her saviours.
Let’s go get these bastards! I’ve been longing for a good battle!Her grin looks almost manic.
Yara then roars as she charges out the door, dragging her ginormous battleaxe behind her.
With one hand on the maul beside his chair, Grimjaw bellows out a roar. The coarse hair on his arms and face grows longer, his veins pop and his muscles swell. His already beefy jaw grows and contorts into a snout with two small tusks. His roar grows more bestial throughout.
Grrragh! Much better. Do NOT let them leave this room!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Coal rolls his eyes before the infiltrator armour rolls up over his head forming a helm. He puts his kit away and pulls his mace out following along behind. initiative 22
The soldiers and reavers have formed up around Aura and Nibor, three of them standing in the way of the large double doors. The fathomer stands between them and Grimjaw.
We must clear a path!
Aura arcs her sword around to meet the nearest soldier
Her attack opens the belly of the soldier, spilling his life on the floor. It becomes immediately apparent to the man beside him that her swing was not meant to hit his friend alone, as she pushes through to hit him as well.
The fathomer starts to drip with water, turning into streams from her arms which all runs back up from the ground and covers her to form into a watery serpent.
Yara eyes up the halfling warily but nods.

The lock slides open with nary a sound and Coal opens the door with a creak.
Even inside this building, you hear a sudden uproar and banging from the direction the lute sounds were previously coming
The woman standing behind Nibor throws off her cloak, revealing a badly burnt left arm and a greatsword with a broad hilt slung across her back.
Grimjaw!! You killed my father. Prepare to die!
Bristles stares at her.
I killed your father?...Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?!
She takes a fighting stance and draws her sword.
I am Aura Larsayd, daughter of Radiant the Blademaster. With his sword Victory I will have your head!

Coal will run towards the sounds of combat as fast as he can (with a dash he can travel 70ft)
Watching Coal run past her, Yara grumbles to herself in Orcish, cursing her puny human legs as she struggles to keep up with Coal.
