we're relying on the bard here. To either whisper sweet nothings in this guys ear or put an illusion in the hole.

(It's after midnight over there he's probably out for the night. I'm about to be as well.)

(OOG: I am back now! Illusion time! Since we've already hidden ourselves, I'll try a disguise; if that doesn't work, I can still try to charm him.)

To the others, whispered: "Let's give this a shot. Get ready to strike if it doesn't. Or, if it does, I guess."

Valentinus mutters an incantation, and his appearance changes: suddenly, he looks like a guard. (Disguise self.)

Now disguised, he races to the door to make himself visible."They've escaped and locked me in here! Open the door! Let me out!"

Not sure what roll you'd want, but I'll give you a Deception check: 23.

Tilly back to the wall next to the door, draws her short sword and dagger  

“Finally a proper f#%€in surprise.”

oog: back up and running guys. 

Droogan readies axes

Yordis readies his weapons and quickly brings to mind the spells he has prepared.

Wait what?! They burst through the door without door without realise it's un locked and run into the cell.

so initiative time! Three men ran inside the cell, they are in the center with a disguised Valentinus, it is about 15 ft square and you have surprise.

Go!

Initiative 18

Surprise good!

Initiative 14

Initiative: 7

Initiative: 19.

Initiative: 14

take their clothes... Nothing suspicious here. Just a water genasi guard and a 12 year old girl guard escorting a couple of enormous prisoners. valentinus is the only one who could remotely pull any of that off, this is gonna be an exciting campaign.

I might not be available for the next bit of the evening. When it's time to get down, I'm just going to go for an attack on the weakest member of the three following everyone else's turn. 

Tilly moves in and strikes with her short sword.

Attack with shortsword  22

Damage 3 Piercing

Sneak Attack Damage 2 (from assumed proximity of my compatriots to the targets.)

Even if the guards roll well for initiative, Valentinus and Yordis are going to go first in the surprise round. Have at the scoundrels!

Leaving his disguise intact, Valentinus draws his rapier and stabs at the guard nearest to him. "Surprise!"

Rapier: Attack: 16 Damage: 8

The guard that came in first is surprised to find that a friends sword has cut deep into his arm.

Yordis moves up to the guard closest to the door and attempts to bludgeon him with his mace.

Attack: 21 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Trying the damage again 5

Want to keep one alive for information, but I think non-lethal damage can wait until after the first 2 guards are cut down. Tilly goes next (and does the 3 + 2 damage).

Attacking with greatsword. Target is the wounded guard, unless it is already down, in which case I'll move on to the next one.

Attack: 24 Damage: 12 slashing

Droogan is almost as surprised as the guards. That was effective. The fighting has started. They're doing well. I should help out...

Droogan attacks with his axes with little thought to tactics and targeting. He wants to be sure to act before the fight's over.

Action: Attack hit AC 8 for 9 slashing

Bonus: Dual-wield hit AC 9 for 6 slashing

In his haste he stumbles and wiffs feeling a bit sheepish. Maybe no one noticed.

Update guard at door (2) has taken 5 damage the one first (1) through has taken 25, the last is untouched (3).

their rolls, 

guard 1: 14

guard 2: 18

guard 3: 19

Droogan is his unwieldy attack hits a companion, roll a d4
