What's the lighting like where I am? Am I in the shadows or the light?

And I roll to escape my bonds http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4430118/ 11 (13-2)

 

Very quietly

"Someone will need to free me; my strength is far insufficient for the task."

 

"So what are you guys in here for? I'm in here because of how I made a living. I was orphaned at birth, and grew up on the street, more or less. Had to fight for my food and steal what I could. Was a miracle I survived, really. Stealing for survival is still all I know, I don't have any other skills to work at a job. I... I just wish my life could have been normal, you know?"

Ruby sighs morosely.

What spell did you want to cast? I'll still allow it to go off if you'd like.

 

Zadok snores loudly, still under the effects of someone's hex. [HERP A DERP I CAN'T READ]

As carefully as he can, Zadok pulls his chains from the mooring.

Spoiler

Strength test to pull free: 1d20+4= 21

 

"Someone jar him awake; we need to marshal ourselves, and he is strong enough that he should be helpful."

 

OOC

Alright. Putting this outside of spoiler tags so we can all read this. I don't want anyone getting skipped because they weren't on when shit's going down.

So here's the deal, and I'll edit this into the OP. Everyone can post in character to talk, or make passive checks (Perception, Sense Motive, etc.) as many times as they want. But as far as hardcore actions, actions that actually affect the scene, NPCs, and others, I'm limiting it to one per hour, or you can go again after everyone else has gone. Actions will be resolved in the order they are announced.

Hopefully, that should stop people from not being able to play due to others taking their turns. If anyone has any suggestions, PM me or hit me up in IRC.

 

In a low voice that doesn't leave the room...

"I suppose we could all try to snap this leg chain together, then work on the arms next. Teamwork seems to be the only way out of here."

 

OoC: Damnit custer, I already tried to break free via force.

 

Spoiler

Okay, yet another alteration to this readied message: if these guys are making a great deal of noise trying to break their bonds and the guards are about to come charging our way, then send the message. I want to split their attention at whatever point it comes to blows in the cell. I think that should be general enough to work.

 

"I can distract the guards with a spell, and using the time we can quickly break our chains. Agreed?"

 

Roland gives up on attempting to break free, accepting that he lacks the strength to do so. He turns to Dominic and nods his head before quietly muttering,
"Agreed."

 

Quietly
I am set to incite the ogre whenever we start breaking free as well. As I have said, though, it is quite unlikely that I will be able to free myself. I can try, but I'll almost certainly need assistance. Otherwise, agreed."

Spoiler

If I can ready two things at once (or set up a list of actions in advance), I prepare to attempt a strength check to break free right after I send the message to the ogre.

 

Ok. Officially, fuck the spoiler tags. Only do it if you want to keep something secret from the others. Just use em if you want to keep something separate from the others. I'll do likewise. I'm going to use white text to signify Out of Game paragraphs like this one.

Also, now referring to you by character name outside of white text.


With a screech, one of the chains on Kevdak's legs snaps. You can all hear the guards still.

Kevdak, make a stealth check. Anyone who wants to can make one as well to aid him. Just make a stealth check before my next post. If you succeed against my DC, you'll add a bonus to his result.

 

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4430203/ Only a 15.

 

I aid Kevdak with his stealth check, 8. Oh well, it's not me that's gonna get beat.

I also ready an action to cast Ghost sound to mimic the screeching sound, but placed as far away as possible (25ft). Action will be activated when I'm sure no guard is looking at me. DC is 15 to disbelieve.

 

[Not sure how I'd aid his stealth check, but I'll give it a try.]

Zadok tries to hold onto the leg chain and prevent it from rattling too much.

[1d20+6= 20 total]

 

I aid Kevdak with a 16, perhaps that will help.

Damn, we should have saved those
