Recap: You have been prisoners in-transit for what felt like forever. Finally the sack-cloths were removed from your heads and you were forced to take up weapons and fight in the arena.
With the sun still rising, a shadow falls over the arena. Three dead human prisoners lay on the bloodied sands, a forth to join them soon as Albrec swings his sword cutting deep into the man’s shoulder, retrieving it from buried flesh as the man falls to join his companions. Only one still stands to oppose you, lost for hope and panicked.
HP2 continues his attack on Halhace
Attack:24Damage:4 (scratch that I was looking at the wrong thing.) Attack: 21 Damage: 1
HP2 is too occupied with what is in front of him to see Kamos fists flying his way. Kamos swing hits HP2’s upper arm making him flinch a little. Kamos follows up with another hit, this time going for the head. He slams it hard enough that HP2 falls backwards hitting the ground at which you hear a cracking sound. HP2 remains motionless.
For a moment the crowed stays completely silent, waiting to see if the human moves and gets up. Upon realising he is dead they erupt in cheers. A voice you grow familiar with through the course of your fight booms through the sound of the crowd, “AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!” His hands lifted high above his head.“It is fitting that the last of newcomers are such a spectacle. Too bad their opponents were such wimps!” He laughs and is greeted with cheers from the crowd.
Hobgoblins surround you and prompt you to return through the gate you came in from. A few of them dragging the dead bodies of the humans you killed and the goliath that has fought with you, only now realising that he was killed somewhere amidst the battle. Last thing you hear is the booming voice echoing through the tunnel as you walk. “Now... Let the games begin!” You are lead back to the room where you picked up your weapons. One of the hobgoblins addresses you, “Weapons put here, go that door.”He points to an opened door through which you can see other slaves in rags standing around.
Halhace is less then pleased to be approached after being made to fight several other to the death. Sure he was an orc but he had learned to like the more laid back life he had made for himself after being exiled from his tribe for his magic and physical frailty when compared to other Sharptusk orcs. Hthe sorcerer manages to curb his annoyance as it would not do well to make more enemies in a place already filled with them.
"Not learned, born with it." Halhace said in broken common, for now trying to play as the dumb orc most would think him to be even with magic, after all while not common even an orc could become a wizard.

Kamos steps to the table with the weapons like the rest of the group, his eyes fixated on the dagger he was about to return. Instead of letting go of it he hides it under his trousers securing it to his body with the rope that holds them in place. Walking away somewhat awkwardly, he tries not to cut himself with the sharp blade.
Kamos now has a dagger.
(Sleight of hand was right, but I need you to roll stealth too, to see if the guards notice you hiding something as you are only wearing rags.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jaylen raises an eyebrow at Halhace, suspicious of his broken common.
Insight: 20
(Passive Insight (15) if it matters)
Turning to Albrec, "I too would seek to break our bonds. But may I suggest we try and get some rest first before we do anything rash. I suspect that one there may need it as well (pointing to Halhace) but I doubt he would admit it. Still, any plan you have, I am all ears for. Jaylen Orbmantle at your service, and pleased to make your acquaintance"
Jaylen extends his hand to Albrec, and then Kamos in turn.
Taking a moment to look around, some of the other slaves seem to be in a similar condition as you; beaten up from the fight they must have had in the arena. While others don’t seem hurt, they appear under-fed and you can’t imagine how they could have fought and still be alive. Two hobgoblin guards are in the process of shackling together human and elf prisoners. As they finish on the last one, looking around, one of them starts making their way towards you. He reaches to grab Jaylen in aim to make him join the line, when another hobgoblin stops him.
“Nohr hereg.” He speaks in goblin. “Hereg arh cor lentuls.”
Following those words, they usher some more guards to join them. They get you on your feet and proceed to guide you away from where the other prisoners seem to be going. “You go differ. See you again later time, your luck run out then, us see your blood!” He says with a stupid smile on his face, the type of smug face you can barely resist not punching.
You are being lead, in a row, guard to either side of each of you, through a door and along a short corridor, reaching a metal bar gate. Your hobgoblin guards stop in front of it and just stand still waiting for it to open, and it does, all on its own. You walk just far enough so the gate slowly lowers behind you and wait for the next gate to open. Following is a big rectangular room that appears to function as a guard barracks. Walking straight through the room you pass another gate and then are shoved up the stairs.
You are now in a ‘half’ hallway. One side of the hallway is a solid wall with two open doorways. The other side is open. Looking that way you see a big open space, sand and dry dirt, with practice dummies. The area is edged with high walls. Another hobgoblin comes through the doorway closer to you. This one looks different than the guards you are used to seeing. He exchanges a look with your guards at which they huff, turn and leave you alone. “I see we have some new blood”The hobgoblin says in perfect common. From inside the room comes another voice “Blood? New!” A small goblin head peeks through the doorway. “Not much blood, eh? Doctore?”the goblins crackling laughter pierces your ears.

(I just rmembered I made him acutally somewhat intelligent for an orc.... They really need an option to get rid of the minus two to intelligence like you know if you wanted to play an orc that was born with more reasoning and left his tribe due to be digusted by their actions or just a more intelligent orc in general.)
Decpetion: 16
Halhace frowns at the words of the human monk, deciding it would have simply been better if he would have answered in his native tongue, finding that most would leave him alone when he spoke in the guttural words of orcish. With little else to do he lets the hobgoblins lead him along, fishing he had something to use as a focus so he could blast them with a spell. Unfortunately for him they now knew he was capable of magic so it was no surprise that they woukd be more careful around him.

Halhace did in fact speak with an accent, just not exactly the sort you would expect of an orc. Jaylen, you are convinced he can probably speak perfect common and is simply faking the accent for some reason.
After a few moments, both go back into the room from which they came. The hobgoblin returns with a small bowl filled with stale bread. “They might not let you have any food today so you better eat this before the rest return.”He also offers you some sort of cured meat, very dry and a bit too chewy. After you accept it, he leaves the way you came in. It is still early in the day and it seems you have been left to your own devices.

Halhace glares at the man that hit him, calling upon his magic once more to attempt to show him what happens to those that mess with him.

Jaylen attempts to make his way past the other slaves to Halhace.
"That was some impressive magic you displayed out there. Where did you study, if I may ask?"
Halhace is less then pleased to be approached after being made to fight several other to the death.

“Well done folks. Now we just have to figure out who to kill to get out of here. I fight for myself I am no mans slave. What do you lot think?”

No one seems to pay attention to you.
Kamos: (to Albrec [in a whisper]) "I managed to sneak a knife into my clothes, can that help with your escape plan?"
