Not necessarily on Golarion, for world building, what other weapons besides the scythe and perhaps the sickle would be considered appropriate for the god/godess of death and the underworld (not Undeath)?
What missile weapons for the same deity?
For Golarion, what missile weapons does Pharasma allow her clergy?
In Absalom, what is considered the greatest piece of art in the city? The analog of the Mona Lisa if you will.
You make your way through the corridor filled with cells to the iron bar gate area that leads to the guardroom.
The room contains a large table with five chairs and a kettle for making tea. On the wall is a pegboard with keys.
There is a very large fireplace -- quite surprising in its size for the room, it fills an entire wall -- but no fire is currently lit. The room is considerably warmer than your cells, though -- the warmth seems to be coming up through the floor.
A staircase descends down from the room. It is covered by a grating of iron bars, which is shut -- you can't tell if it's locked or not.
You can continue to the actual guardroom or remain here.
Smoak's Round 2 action is to dart to the fireplace. Smoak the guards won't be expecting that so I will give you a +2 to Stealth as long as you remain there.
Is there a place in the room I am in that I could hide if guards were to come into to investigate noise coming down the hall? Something bigger then a chair that could give me cover. If not I will hide in the 1st cell and wait for the others to decide what they are doing.
You could hide under the table, or even the wall sized large fireplace in the gate room, or you could try for the cell you just left the horn in. Stealth rolls for each of course.
This plan sounds fine. Per Old School's suggestion when two people agree we go forward with it. We need to take action or suffer analysis paralysis and run out of time.
I take possession of the veil again. If no one is around to do healing on Khara I give her a potion from the veil. I wait until Khara tries to charm a guard. If that fails I move up on the guards, sneaky like.
Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
I actually don't recall saying when two people agree, I still want to hear from everyone, but in my mind when I said a 'couple' of posters I was thinking more like four, so its at least a quorum.
Let's take those steps in order.
Round 1
Sir Cudjet takes The Veil and peels off the potion patch.
He is unsure of the contents as he hands it to Khara.
This round Smoak takes the signal horn from the wall peg.
Smoak you are successful in taking the horn and placing it the closest cell, that a pretty high Stealth so I will say you can place yourself wherever you like within 20' of the horn.
I take point to move up through the hallway unless Smoak wants to sneak ahead. I definitely take the lead to eliminate any guards and do so quickly and efficiently.
That's fine but please realize that will require a Stealth check, let me know if that is what you want to do.
Smoak is past the hallway and in the gate room next to the guard room peeking in.
Guys getting a consensus from six posters can take a while, so why don't we do this, the next couple of posters say "Okay, now I think we should..." and I'll put together your actions from that.
Note that it's good -- preferred, actually -- to indicate how strongly you feel about a plan. "I'm firmly committed to X," "I really, really think we should do X," "either X or Y is fine by me", etc.
How wide is the 60 foot hall?, how wide is the 30 foot area that leads to the guard room.
The hall is not a straight line, it is more of an upside down 'L' and is 10 feet wide, there are several cells lining the walls. The area from the gate to the guard room is 30' by 30' wide room (you are in this room looking into the guard room), and the stairway leading down.
The guard room itself is 20' by 30' feet long, with a common table and some chairs.
I motion to my manacles for Smoak to pick them and also point to myself and then ahead of Smoak hopefully have him understand I'm to take point for the escape.
Sir Cudjet, you and your fellow prisoners are free of your manacles and you have a sharpened manacle (+1 to damage) in your hand.
There are three guards in the room. Two are talking to each other in a relaxed manner but still seem alert. The third guard appears to be asleep, face down on the table.
The shorter of the two guards is talking.
"That weasel Blackerly is definitely rigging those games."
"Yet for some reason you keep finding yourself back at the table at the gatehouse."
"Guess I am a glutton for punishment, and I'll take a beer where I can,"
Your sharp eyes notice that the shorter guard carries a signal horn, while the taller of the two does not. So, two horns -- one on him, one on the wall.
The sleeping guard makes a muffled snorting sound but does not raise his head from the table. From this angle you can not tell if the sleeping guard has a horn as well.
You make your way to the iron bar gate that leads to the guardroom.
The room contains a large table with five chairs and a kettle for making tea. On the wall is a pegboard with keys. Next to it hangs a signal horn.
There is a very large fireplace -- quite surprising in its size for the room, it fills an entire wall -- but no fire is currently lit. The room is considerably warmer than your cells, though -- the warmth seems to be coming up through the floor.
A staircase descends down from the room. It is covered by a grating of iron bars, which is 1d100 ⇒ 49 shut -- you can't tell if it's locked or not.
The Halflings's movements are almost elegant. A moment ago, he was his usual self, quiet, reserved and thoughtful. Then he crouches down low to the stone floor, almost on all fours. As slowly and carefully as a cat stalking a bird, he glides out the open door and down the hall.
Smoak, you can not see the guards at all from here, even the actual guard room is obscured because of the angle, the iron bar gate leading to the guardroom is 60 feet away, the door to the guardroom is just over 30 feet after that.
Five more cells are adjoining your own cell. Most have their doors slightly open; one other door to the west is clearly shut.
The guardroom to the south is separated from the cellblock by a door which is open and a gate of iron bars, which is [you want me to roll high] 1d100 ⇒ 81 also open.
Light can be seen coming from the guardroom and there are voices from that direction.
I am having a little trouble with that because in essence you are making a 1st Level spell (Silent Image) more powerful and a 2nd Level spell (Darkness) as it now only affects your enemies and not your allies.
I'm going to have to say no to that, but thumbs up for the effort.
The guards have a chance to hear the door being unlocked but since it was a Nat 20 +8, even if they rolled a Nat 20 they could not match it, so no check, the door is open.
Reminder, Khara is wounded. Also, I need some form of marching order.
As decided before Cudjit and me get weapons from the viel, then with Khasa assist we will attempt the cell door. With M/W picks she is +10 so as long as she doesnt botch she assists me
no idea what that means but The description you just posted says 1 chain for all the legs so I figured everyone is free to move around at least at this point. So they can rush gaurds if necessary at zombie like speed.
Right a single chain links all the prisoners but unless they want to drag that chain with them, its one success to free each prisoner.
