They must escape, becoming fugitives from the law. Thing is, I want to plan a little bit. At least so I have some answers when they want to break out. So what should I consider?I see two routes I can take. 1) The PCs must work together to formulate their own plan of escape. This will require the most ingenuity from the players, and me being realistic in my responses. I also need answers for their questions to allow them to formulate a plan. This is one area I would like to have help on fleshing the prison out, and giving them enough information so they can pull it off. How do I do this?2) In The Usual Suspects, all the characters are brought together because in their past, they have wronged Kaiser Soze. And Soze is blackmailing them unless they do a job for him. Similar situation; a benefactor has spread several tools throughout the prison, and is helping the PCs escape. So all they must do is collect the tools, put the directions together, and go about it. I see option 2 as a backup, in case the PCs come up with nothing. In addition, I should also decide if I want to run an adventure while they're in the prison. Perhaps it's a hard labor camp, that does mining, and many of the miners have went missing. So the prison warden picks the PC's cell block to go into the mine and find out what's going on. Or this prison is next to a debter's prison, and the debter's prison is the mining one, and has gone empty.</blockquote>
