Well, We are going to back up considerably, I apologize.
The guards are dead. You all stand before the dead beings. Alright, Argent... the Gladius guy ... and another have short swords. There are 2 small sticks next to the corpse, and no one has the ability to speak
If I referred to you ask something other than your name, please tell me who you are
When you kill the stick-wielding guard, his form contorts and melds to a grayish form.
As you open the door and there is a cul-de-sac identicle to the one you just left. Spoons in hand you walk through the door, every cell has a being in it, every being is dead.
None of these cells are open, you get the keys from the guards (I assume) and open the cells, all of the corpses have a spoon each. Other than that they have nothing of interest.
With all the searching done Avan will ask Are there any among us with a skill to open locks? I'm not a locksmith and I'm sure I want to set off any security devices.
