So the cell is proof against magic but not psionics? Funny as I would think drow were well aware of psionic threats from the underdark.

And is Thia's pointy stick strong enough to be used as a lever? Thia probably would not want to chance that unless it was particularly thick. (And no, she hasn't mentioned the stick to anyone yet.)
I think maybe something that stops psionics might be to costly for a small outpost on the fringes, problem in the cities they have cells that stop both.
And it is only a piece of rock you have (flint I believe), so let's say if you try anything strenuous with it and roll low (5 or less) than we will give it a 10% cumulative chance it snaps. So roll a 1 =50% - roll a 5 = 10% etc. In combat it may break only on a 1 and then only at 10% (it is for combat after all)

Yeah, I won't be mentioning the stick. I figured it would be too fragile.
Next question, I'll put here I guess. How is the door hinged and can the hinges be tampered with?
If the lower hinge is out of sight of the guards (because of the rails on the rope bridge) we might be able to get Stool out the door. Or the whole door could come down if we weren't careful.

You could roll stealth vs passive perception to fool around on the hinge side of the door. Which someone Could use the Help action with you if they acted as a distraction near the lock side of the door. Drow "Hey you scum! Get back from there!" and all the while they never notice you on the other side.
Stealth vs Perception check to fool around with the lock. No help here though if they see you by the lock, they see you.

Oh yeah. We've been out of the cell before. What's in the guard post? Table? Chairs? How many? How many guards usually on duty? How big is it in diameter?
Haven't been there long but you should know the guard post pretty good as you must pass through to get most places. Putting together the different areas from everyone's experiiences and chores should give you a good ideal of where most drow are.
Did you wish to RP all this or have me give you all a layout here?

Depends on how long you want us to spend in the cell. RP could be another few weeks of real time getting all the Intell.
CG asked if lock can be picked without lock picks.
I similarly want to know if the hinge can be disabled (unhinged?) without tools. What kind of pin system makes it work? Because I think that is the fastest way to get Stool and a gnome or halfling out of the cell. They should be able to hide in the hall that connects to the Quaggoth's lair, out of sight of the guard post. If Thia can get out, things get more interesting. She can locate object the keys to the cell and she can silence the bridge.
Crazy question. Is it possible to climb the underside of the rope bridge?

I'm happy to RP the exchange of information (though it will take several weeks) but I'm finding it frustrating not, as a player, knowing what my character knows. It's hard to suggest anything.
