I'm going to delay my turn to right before Thundrik acts. I'll draw my wand and use it to cast enlarge person on Thundrik.
Move action: Draw wand
Standard action: use wand
The guards approach closer, keeping their distance from the pick-wielding slaves. One attempts to disarm Thundrik using his whip, while the other casts a spell against Argent. Both bumble horribly. Argent seems similarly resistant to magic as Thundrik, He begins casting his spell through his wand, and recognizes a resistant force around Thundrik, but he is able to continue his spell successfully. (full round action for enlarge person, It'll kick in with this next round.) One drow comes within 5 feet of Thundrik wielding a whip and he lunges forward. The arc is wide and Thundrik's swing dings against the rails, causing a resound, and a fracture of the rail.
"Why is the first chamber important?" Casvian ask.
" Because I smell something. Unless you'd like to sit here and have tea, we should be learning our environment in case of attack anyways. Besides, I'm looking for something. "
"Not sure what happens?..." Alric then notices the dwarf being looted, "No, not not the Dwarf, the drow!" Going to the corpse he loots it himself.
"I'm called Alric by the way." He says trying to cover up his loss of temper.
"Well you have been right so far. I guess we can go that way."
The dark elf steps up to Thundrik to attack, and he misses with his own attempt. Recovering from the momentum, he attacks again.
Medium damage:
Large damage:
Cas: See above. This is the result of travel in this direction. You find a magical scroll on the body of this orc, and an ring resembling your own. It strikes you as strange that the orc would die the way he did here without other resources helping him maintain.
"There may be drow here, not that I am afraid of them, but I think it is wiser to free the others first. "
Does Dratis have a ring on?
I completely missed that post, thanks
Survival Check to determine recent footprints:
Will save:
Alric takes the potion, scroll, wand and gold, and leaves the rest to the druid to arm himself. Briefly eyeing the crossbow, he decides he cannot rely on unfamiliar weapons.
"Lets go then, there's no way to hide our escape so we'll have to move fast. We'll bolt the door before we go, hopefully they will stop to search it. What's the quickest exit?"
will save:
"Maybe we should put a rush on that exit."
Argent gazes intently at the chain holding him and mutters the the incantation of frost using as little energy as possible in the hopes of making one of the links brittle. He then summons power into the pick that he is holding.
Move Action: stow wand
Standard Action: cast ray of frost
Swift Action: Arcane pool (1pt) to grant a +2 enchantment bonus to the pick.
Ranged touch:
Damage: cold
Alric: You come out into the hallway, but you hear many voices, at least five, gathering in the main chapel of the temple from behind the door, speaking in a rushed undercommon. You can also detect some light from that room.
Argent: You weaken the chain, but it is not yet broken.
Thundrik's body increases in size, and for a moment he feels a slight revulsion at the fact that he might pass as a giant. He grips the pick in both hands tightly, readying himself to attack, as his flesh strains to hold himself together. Before he has a chance to attack, he momentarily loses control- he feels his anger coursing through his body, taking over his senses. With a terrifying roar his muscles bulge and writhe, and he brings his pick down with mighty force against the drow in front of him.
[ooc]Was hoping that smashing the jars would wake up the rest of the slaves. Now Im hoping the Druid knows of another door. If not It's time to gear up and go. So I hope he picked up that drow gear. I also cast Mage Armor on him.[ooc]
"We have maybe six second before we're neck deep in guards, I really hope you know another way out of here."
The guards now focus their attention on the new monstrosity before them. Thundrik feels their judging eyes upon him and it fuels his anger. He wants those eyes to bleed. One drow attempts to thwart your magical boon, but is unable to dispel Argent's magic. The second releases a dark thought into Thundrik's mind, causing him to become fearful.
Alric: No guards seem to notice you from the other side of the door. They seem to be distraught with other concerns. En Ahst does not know of another exit from this location. This is the safe bunker in case of an emergency though, so an exit is not unlikely, he tells you.
Will save:
Will save: 1d20 + 4
Argent intones the incantation for acid this time channeling more power into it this incantation enveloping his pick in a glittering sheen of sickly looking colors that seems to simmer in the air of the mine he then strikes twice furiously at the chain with the force of a man possessed.

I ask Dratis what he is looking for and I ask him what can he see down the tunnel that he wants to explore since he has darkvision.
The tide of battle seems grimly turned against the captives. As Thundrik attempts to run, he is whipped fiercely and his bleeding wounds give him more issue Argent finally breaks the chain though, and Miro scuttles himself behind the cart away from the conflict.
"Alright, lets try the bolt hole for now." As he moves, a thought occurs. "What do you suppose is keeping the guards? Would of thought they would be here by now."
In frustration at their slow rate of progress, Alric squeeses past the druid and his dog. (En Ahst was his name?). Scowling as his outstretched hand reaches a cave in he begins chanting in Dracoinic, laying his palm flat upon the obstruction.
With a mighty roar Argent attempts to attack the guards closest to him hoping to strike true.

After groping around to retrieve Unraveler, Alric then begins feeling around the wall, trying to get a handle on where he just landed.
Maps updated.
Also: Paging Casvian: What's up?
Knowledge(dungeoneering):
Space seems to warp and weft around Argent as Unraveler is once again united with him, however briefly. His right eye ignites into a bright light and looks almost crystalline. Argent throw his head back and laughs maniacally as he once again feel whole. The strikes at the guard then moves toward Unravelers true location.

Confirmation:
Crit extra damage:
Alric peers carefully over the edge of the pits, but as the magic fades, his vision becomes swallowed by the returning darkness. Then, tucking unraveler through his belt, he begins to feel his way toward the light he say as argent, crawling and using his hands to search for crevasses.
" Where'd you come?" Alric asks
"Took the stairs." Is En ahst's reply, gesturing behind him to a long staircase.
You are free to head out of this trash yard to the town if you like.
