[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9268720, member: 20459"] [I]Just as he has a few times before with this group, the young halfling takes charge. He first suggests to the others that freeing all the prisoners might be a sound tactic, providing not only a distraction in the escape, but freedom as well to those who dearly need it. Then, he hands the pilfered keys to Mylistra and sends her with Toriq to unlock the doors to two of the cells. His tools he hands to Jendi, hoping that the warlock, having seen him in action a few times - both in recent adventures and on the Firefly - will be able to decipher their use, pointing him to a third door. Finally, taking out one of his daggers, Nemo heads to the final two doors. After all, the halfling thinks as he quickly unlocks first one door before moving on to the second, he hasn't always had fancy tools to work with. The witch, with the aid of her dearest friend, sorts through the keys to unlock two more doors, while Jendi struggles at first but does succeed in unlocking the final door. As they each finish their tasks, the doors are already beginning to open, with inmates cautiously stepping out of their cell. The bewildered prisoners stare with varying mixtures of fear and bewilderment at the masked figures standing there, silently watching them, at least for a moment. Nemo grins beneath his mask at the sight of Beppa. Then he stares, slackjawed, seeing the two goblins coming out of the single cell his friend has just opened. The older goblin is unknown to him, but the second... "Tryfsza?" he whispers, and she peers at the mask for a moment before running into his arms. Beppa, also recognizing his voice, looks on with a relieved if weary smile. Jendi is similarly astonished to recognize his friend from Blackstone. The warlock stares at him for a long moment without saying a word, unsure whether or not he wants to declare himself as his little friend has just done. Meanwhile, Mylistra looks briefly with joyful astonishment at the elderly woman stumbling out of yet another cell. "Cassia," she murmurs before engulfing her into a strong hug. "Juniper will be so happy that you're safe!" she says quietly before letting her go. At this point, Toriq decides that they have waited long enough. She points to the second set of stairs and says, almost under her breath, "let's head that-a-way quickly, before they get here. Quietly shut the doors first, then follow me." As she heads to the stairs, she prepares to remove her shield from where she has stashed it on her back and notices the slight figure of the older goblin step up next to her, looking alert and ready for anything. Their eyes briefly meet - mask and height differential not withstanding - before Toriq nods, the goblin following suit.[/I] [HR][/HR] * Toriq makes a Secondary Skill Perception check to aid Mylistra in discerning which keys will unlock which doors: +10 = Autosuccess vs. 10 Easy DC for a +2 bonus to M's thievery check * The other three make a Group Primary Skill Thievery check to unlock the doors (group changes Hard DC to a Moderate DC): [INDENT][LIST] [*]Jendi: r13+2+2 Thieves Tools = 17 vs 14 Moderate DC = Success [*]Mylistra: r9+4+2 Keys +2 SS = 17 vs 14 Moderate DC = Success [*]Nemo: +13 = Autosuccess vs 14 Moderate DC = Success; 3 out of 3 Successes in Group check = Success in SC [/LIST][/INDENT] * Toriq has equipped herself with her shield.
