Ahhh keeps going after Blackerly. I get his heart!
The group dashes forward after Blackerly. As you approach the front and come to the corner you see the main gates leading out to the right, the inner gate leading into the building leading in, to the right close to you are the dog kennels. Blackerly is passing into the inner gates which are flung open into the jail screaming like someone is chasing him and trying to kill him.
"It would be really great if one of us had a bow right about now..." Talia says exasperatedly.
Audi ibn Jad rounds the corner to witness a few things of importance. Firstly, the 1/2 orc sees the main gates leading out to the right.
Now that just might work.
Secondly, the scarred witch doctor sees the inner gate leading into the building leading in.
My friendly excited Aaaggghhh! Close and bar those doors once you get to them. We are going out this way!
And, thirdly, the smiling Orc sees to the right close by are the dog kennels.
Anyone good with dogs? Could maybe sway them to attack the guards if they are loosed?
Nodding his scarred head in obeisance to The Ancestors, the Witch begins making his way toward the main gates.
Anyone interested in leaving.
Agghhhhh kill and resupply! Agghh seems to be able focus on planning while attempting bloody murder.
I wouldn't care about the dogs... I'd probably avoid it. - whispers the "Dwarf" - ... But yes, I'm very much interested in leaving.
The somewhat psychotic-looking creature sounds frustrated that the guards didn't even bother to hear her. Well, maybe her disguise can still be useful within the buildings.
Wiktor nods in agreement at the notion of avoiding the dogs;
"Dogs run faster than Wiktor. Leave them alone vill be best yessss?"
"Please no more dogs." Implores the catfolk. "Don't forget, we have an appointment to keep, let us not delay."
"I'm not letting any dogs stop me." she says as she heads inside with the others.
We going to kill Blackerly or run off? Aghh demands
The scarred witch doctor halts. He looks at the way to possible freedom and a potentially potentially engagement. He sighs.
Audi ibn Jad then begins cursing the Ancestors while heading toward Aaaggghhh.
Show us the way!
WAGHHHHHH!!!!
"I would greatly prefer to not die here, if that's at all possible, yeah?" Talia says, slightly annoyed the boys wanna murder Blackery. She does too, of course, but maybe freedom should come first.
"Don't be a fool. He's running to reinforcements and we're all going to die. We need to leave. We can come back and take him and kill him slowly." She turns to Wiktor, "Isn't slow-roasted meat better?"
Well, who am I to put myself in the way of a righteous vengeance? Please, feel free to go for him if you want to, but I’d rather flee and come back prepared later. Whoever wants to get out of here is more than welcome to come with me, but whoever prefers to go for Blackery- be my guest, and I hope we both survive to meet later with our mysterious benefactor.
Wiktor cocks his head at the culinary question;
"Cold meat is best. Straight from ground."
He flashes a rictus grin, then nods;
"Let big ogre kill Blackery. Keep guards busy vhile ve make escaping."
Audi suddenly stops. He stares incredulously at everyone before smiling. The scarred witch doctor points the opposite direction back at the main gates.
We do have that window. I wonder if that will actually create an egress in the gate?
Audi turns around and heads back toward the front gate.
Grumblejack turns now as you all leave and follows and runs to the inner gate and attempts to yank it up
"Grumblejack, wait. There's no need for you to needlessly sacrifice you life for us. You're a member of our pack now, we all escape together. We'll resume this hunt later."
Grumblejack turns back and comes toward the gate out arrows flying and you can hear Blackerly screaming stop shooting to subdue you idiots these are the most dangerous we have and you hear another say it's the Wardens orders, Sir!
Agghh curses and turns around to follow the cowards.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
You see a se of double doors leading into the gate house itself and these open into the gate house interior and you see both sides have three arrow slits pointing in towards you. Past those doors is a gate leading to a bridge which leads to... Freedom.
Audi ibn Jad eyes the arrow slits warily.
We can take our chances in the murder hole and hope we can get outside fast.
He looks at Grumblejack and Aaaggghhh with a wicked smile.
Or we can visit those side doors, murder those inside, and then walk calmly through the main gate? They may have a key also.
Works for me
Talia arches a questioning eyebrow at Audi. "Do we not already have a set of keys? Regardless of which option we choose, we should be smart about it. I don't think we'll survive if we just charge ahead blindly." She says, pointedly looking at Aggghhh.
Aggh is just bored with all of the yapping.
Jassie calls out "Move to the side and duck under the murder holes. That way they can only shoot you once." She does so, holding up her shield against the other side.
Jassie blocks the one side and Grumblejack lumbers through the doors and into the gate courtyard towards the way out.
Four arrows go flying into the courtyard as the guards were at the ready!
INIT
Ahhh keeps going for the gate
Audi ibn Jad smiles at the sight of the orc and ogre both rumbling toward the gate. The scarred witch doctor nods in agreement with the Ancestors.
Indeed! A bit of mischief as we follow!
The Witch will follow and also target each guard as he passes.
Getting to the far side of the gate you see a gate that is lowered into place and can be raised from the wall above and you see past the gates is a bridge leading to the mainland and freedom!
Wiktor hungrily eyes the potential of freedom, moving cautiously toward the lowered gate...
use the magic window!
Audi studies the opening mechanism. The 1/2 orc points it out to Aaaggghhh and smiles.
"Oh, yes, use the window! That should let us escape quickly!"
Wiktor gibbers and jerks as he echoes the increasingly urgent chorus to use the magic portal to escape;
"YesYesYes! Use the vindow! Leave the big and fat ones!"
You hear from behind you outside the gate doors that you came through Blackerly ordering the guards to close that gate and release the dogs.
I can try climbing up to open the gate.
Grumblejack says I could lift you for a very short climb
That could work. Double team them!
She will grab the cloth and place the window. "Dogs won't be able to all go through the window at once." She will slip through once sh'e done that.
While Aggghhh and Grumblejack make a plan a magical window appears on the wall. and Grumblejack opens the window and squeezes through to the other side the following round prisoner 1723 jumps through. What does everyone else do?
looks like we can all get away! Humph! Teaming up with the ogre would have been awesome. Aught will go through as well.
Audi frowns Prisoner 1723, but the 1/2 orc also follows through the window to the other side....
