Round 5: frees Caprin
After setting aside the pouches and sets of clothes, Kelvar moved to help Kaath remove the armor. "I also could use armor, but I suspect several of us could. It may be that we will have to draw straws for the two sets of armor."

"Did someone say longsword? Come on lads, I know we criminals aren't known for their sense of charity, but I would love to get me hands on one! How's about a deal then? Put a sword in me hands and I'll get you two more along with the hands that held them. Sound like a deal?" Woodes shouts from his restraints, really wishing he was free right now.
Kord stands, rubbing his wrists. He then moves to the celldoor, waiting for the next step...
One of her own kind freed her, a handsome straight jawed man.
"Thank you sir." she says to her fellow dhampir as he unshackles her.
She moves to join the others. "I can hold off on a sword for the time being. A sap or armor is fine for me." she says.

Having ensured everyone is free and mobile, Iscar runs back to the locked entrance door to serve as a watchman.
As Iscar will keep this up until he hears anything or one of the other villains calls him away, feel free to just roll for me in each round. Perception is +9 :)
"I am a servant of Asmodeus, and He has provided the tools for us to attempt an escape. Would you like to join us?" He recruits.
Observing Woodes run and grab a longsword, Kelvar thought to himself This one is a little obsessed with grabbing a sword. Still, he looks quite capable with it, although I think he relies more on finesse than brute force.
To Woodes, he said, "Since you have claimed a longsword, would you object to being removed from consideration for one of the sets of armor? I'm certain we'll find more, but for the short term, there may be others who would benefit more."
As the jail cell opens, Kord moves to the Door of the jail. With his ear to the wood he listens for footsteps and readies an action to grapple anyone who tries to enter.
Kaath raises his gravelly voice with authority before Woodes can reply "Kelvar gets this one, Rosemary gets the other. Someone help the lady."
He feels pressure around him constrict a bit and senses Caprin's Mage Armor. Without breaking from his task, he nods his head towards Caprin and thanks him.
Rose continues to undo the armor from the second guard. Arcane armor adorns her and Kaath declares she gets a chain shirt.
She flashes Kaath and Caprin a sultry smile. "A jail full of gentlemen it seems, thank you my darlings." she purrs.
Woodes looks at Kelvar and says with a grin "Of course mate, I'm a psychopath but I have manners! I'm quick on my feet anyway." Then Woodes looks around for a second. "Where's the lad 'Red Ledger'? I met the lad on the way here and he's completely bat s#!+ crazy! He's delightful! "

Grumblejack smiles, "Rats tasty. Hum'n more tasty. You escape me. Me kill blue-shirts." You remember the guards all wear the blue tabards of Branderscar over their armour. "They hurt me. Make me weak from herbs. I make them dead."
Through the door you can hear the muffled bark of guard dogs coming from down the stairs and several voices but you cannot make out anything they may be saying. They may be at the bottom of the stairs or further away. You guess perhaps 30 seconds before they get to you.
"Rosemary, begin stripping the other guard of his armor. Caprin, if you could help her, we can get it off more quickly." Turning to Kaath, he said, "If you will help me get this on, we will hopefully be ready should the guards come through the door."
Kelvar begins donning the armor, hoping they have time before the guards storm them.
"My name is Carnadine, and you are are?" After Grumblejack introduces himself, Carnadine leads him out of the cell.
Carnadine emerges from the enclosed cell, "Everyone, this is Grumblejack. Grumblejack, this is everyone who are not blue-shirts. Our new friend wants to kill and eat guards. I suggest we get out of his way."
Rosemary nods and begins undoing the armor of the second guard.

Red has been fairly quiet thus far. On occasion he has to clinch his sanity and maintain a grasp on reality... he thinks about the debts that people owe him... he's not used to having friends... "ahem, Don't suppose there's something to shoot with? I'm more of a slasher, but my arm strength isn't what it used to be."

"Unfortunately, these guards appear to have decided they didn't need bows to control chained up prisoners. We may have to kill a few more guards to find something for you. I don't suppose you'll need one of these materials pouches, will you?"
Indicating the dead guard next to him, Kelvar says, "Well met, friend Grumblejack. If you wish for an appetizer to your feast, you may start with this one. We have no need need of him anymore."
Caprin goes to work helping to remove the armor.
Iscar hears the movement from the bottom of the stairs, and goes to pass the message on to everyone else.
"Ladies and gentlemen - and our new friend mr Grumblejack - the cavalry appears to be on it's way. I'd give this next bunch of guards about 30 seconds before they arrive. I'm no master strategist, but it seems like bottlenecking them is a safe avenue and pincering them is an even better plan of attack.
When I first departed the room earlier, there was a meeting room. It attaches to the main hall out there, and if we can somehow get through to the meeting room from here, we can split our party into two groups and rush our captors from behind at the exact moment they break through the door.
Unless any of your has a better idea, or you are all inclined to just wait for them to break the hinges off, we may want to establish two squads now." Once again, Iscar smiles a wry smile. "Knowing how eager some of you are, I'm willing to forfeit my right to a spot in the vanguard." Because I've already been far too close to the action for one day I think. Asmodeus-only-knows, I'm a thinker not a fighter.
"Well, hopefully I'll have enough time to get this armor on. How long do you think the jammed door will hold? Long enough for someone else to get the other set of armor on, perhaps?"

Kelvar looked at Carnadine, sizing him up, then indicated the remaining guard's longsword. "You look to be a man with some battle experience. Would you care to take the other longsword?"
Carnadine finds a club twirling it about. He tries to strip the leather off
Kord seems to listen intently to every word that escapes Iscar's mouth. Kord has never worked with a group so large.
"I believe we must act like the trapdoor spider, and wait to pounce. For if we split our group in two, and The men check the other room you speak of first, they will be outnumbered and we lose our advantage. But here we can funnel them one at a time."
Kord sizes up grumblejack.
Long arms for bashing at a distance. He will be our spider.
Kord addresses Grumblejack like he would a favorite hunting dog.
"Grumblejack! Please come over to this dead guard here and be ready to crush Blue-Shirts, they will come through this doorway."
Kord points to the guard closest to him and the door we are bottle-necking.
"Iscar if you do not wish to fight now, then move back. The door will open in your face anyway."
Rosemary, with the armor off the second guard picks up the 2nd club and tries to follow suit of Caradine, taking the leather from it to hopefully make it hit with a sharper smack.
"Someone else should take this other chain shirt, as Master Caprin was kind enough to enchant me." she says.
"Those wearing armor will be expected to be first in line to attack. If you don't want to be first, I will take the sword and armor. However, I'm confident that the guards will supply us more armor and weapons shortly." Carnadine says with a smile while scraping the leather from the club. He tries to save the leather as a potential garrote.
With the plan presented, Iscar goes and helps kelvar adjust the armour to ready him for battle. Knowing that there are better combatants at hand, Iscar hands over his dagger to Red. "Hope you get as much good use out of this as I already have."
With this finished, he decided to Iscar takes all the patches from the veil and starts to distribute the remaining items as appropriate.
