[QUOTE="Aggressive Sock, post: 6292323, member: 6776061"] In our pathfinder game, my friend and I are in a pickle. We are stuck in a Reaver camp, in 2 "holding cells" next to each other. The cells are stone walled, with furniture, toilet, door, and window with bars approx. 3" apart. I've racked my brain on how to get out alive, here's my idea to escape. I am playing a level 9 Fetchling Ninja, and my friend is a level 8 Gnome Alchemist. So ninja tricks and basic supplies are still at my disposal. I have a portable hole, that they did not take, which contains several supplies ranging from weapons, thieves tools, to potions and a full on alchemist lab. My plan is this, and I want your opinion on whether you think it will work: I take my silk rope, and tie my Bag of Holding to it. I throw the rope to my friend's hand sticking out the other window. He pulls the Bag of Holding to him. Then, I place the Portable Hole on the ground, tie a corner to the rope, I proceed to get into the Portable Hole, then close it. Then, my friend pulls the cloth through the bars from the room I was in. He unties the cloth, proceeds to hang the cloth outside of the window against the wall, I climb out, then close the Portable Hole. Then, he passes me the Bags of holding out the window. I re-tie the Portable Hole cloth to the rope, he pulls it up through the window. He repeats what I did, lays it on the ground, gets in, closes it, I pull the cloth through the window down to the ground. Lay it out, he gets out. We close the hole, I take it. We run. Thoughts? With 10 minutes of air each time, that's sufficient enough to not suffocate in the times in the hole. The whole process shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes to begin with. This is a big leap of faith, but I've given tons of time into thinking of how we might escape with our lives intact. Unfortunately, our weapons were taken and placed in a chest. So those will be left behind. However, we can always return another day, using invisibility, to quickly sneak in, and grab the stuff, and then either use a teleportation scroll or something of the sort to escape quickly. We could just put the chest in a bag of holding most likely. Regardless, living is the key to anything else happening, so what do you think of the plausibility to this certain approach I am hoping to try? [/QUOTE]
