[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6777606, member: 11146"] [b]Round 1, continued[/b] Solace handed the rusted iron bar to Kago, then darted past K'nyr and past the open gate. Very soon she stood on the ledge outside the cell, breathing free air. Her hands were manacled at the wrists in front of her waist, with a short length of chain binding the wrist cuffs to an iron belt at her waist. The iron collar at her neck chaffed. The drow guard on the bridge had yet to finish cranking his light crossbow, but before he knew it, Solace was nearly upon him. The guard looked up in surprise as Solace slipped out of the cell. He called to K'nyr in [sblock=Undercommon][color=green]"Schiesse! Check their restraints, make sure none have slipped through or broken the binding. Especially the orcs and His Highness.
