Zed drops down to the floor of the fireplace, steps out and brushes the soot off his his uniform.
Following Rei's lead, Zed mutters "Hell of a first day on the job! If I'd known what whey did to prisoners here, I would never have signed up for guard duty. That's just not right!"
Looking at the kitchen staff, he adds, "I couldn't let them do that to a young woman, regardless of what she's been accused of. I'm going to escort her to the warden's office to report those other guards."
Lighting up his face with his famous smile, he replies to the scullery maid, "Well, I have to try. I'm sure the sergeant can be reasonable. Plus, I can be surprisingly persuasive when I need to be. It's only the right thing to do."
Collecting Rei, he moves into the room. He turns toward Myrtle.
"Say, I haven't been given the grand tour yet, and I'm a bit disoriented coming through the chimney. What's through those doors?"
"Please do, he's already taking such a risk trying to change things! You two might also consider heading outside for a while. If things don't work out it'd be a shame for you to get dragged into it."
Sweat beginning to bead the brow of the otherwise composed man, Lukasz steps out and into the hallway. Moving over to the dead guards as the magical grease coating the ground evaporates, Lukasz whispers, "We had better move quickly, while the guards upstairs are safe form discovery, these will not go unnoticed for long." Looking in the direction of the door that should lead to the kitchen, Lukasz continues, "Let us hide the bodies the best we can and check on Zed and the other one, Rei was it?"
Elijah will wipe his blade of any blood, then stow it. He will casually check the guard he slated for anything useful, then head into the kitchen to check on the others.
Similar to Elijah, Jericho first ensures that guards are dead, and then proceeds to quickly check if they have any useful items, like keys, weapons, money etc. Several moments later he is behind the (anti)paladin, heading towards kitchen.
