You give him all you've got. The creature lets out a series of shrieks and quickly retracts its hand. You take this moment to hop off the counter and quickly scuttle under something.

SCUTTLE OUT THE DOOR OR INTO A HOLE OR SOMETHING BINKY

Pinch his ass, Binky!

Take no shit little dude! Punch his lights out! Yours is the claw that will pierce the heavens!

How many shocks can you deliver? Also, escape is your main option here. Unless you know of a way to kill him. Which I doubt.

You're not sure... but with great speed it grabs the guard's head and gives it a swift, strong twist, making a loud pop just before his body goes limp and drops to the floor.

The figure behind the door lets out a shriek and quickly flees.

The mysterious figure turns to face you and with a familiar voice, "You want me to get you out of there too I'm guessing?"

The hallway outside your cell room is long. There is a large double door on one side, one of the doors is slightly ajar. There are two doors on the opposite wall, one is the door you just came through and the other is on the other end of the hall. You hear a faint weeping coming from down the hall and foot steps quickly growing fainter from the behind the large double door.

>>34454
To the weeping. If we can free people and cause chaos, then more people can escape and infrastructure damage becomes more likely.

Load the Toph!

Uh. Examine what's beyond the door while trying to remain hidden. Can you only hear things that make sounds, or can you echolocate?

You sneak down the hall, pausing at the door to poke your head in. There is another room with two doors on the opposite wall, the one on the right is moving, as if someone in a hurry failed to slam it shut.

You use echolocation to see. Your hearing and sense of touch is very good and make for early warning devices.
You approach the door at the far end of the hall and put your face up to the small window in the door. There appear to be two more cells in here. There is another guard, it smells like an Engsami. You think you catch the scent of a Lohrke in one of the cells, most likely the weeping one.

>>34477
Ok then... if this is the guy the Nedynvor was wanting you to look for, how do you plan to go about that? The key to the cells should probably be in the Guard quarters, which, if you recall from the last few times you snuck out of your cell, was on the next floor up somewhere. The guard sounds awake and grumpy.

>>34484
Is there any way you can take out the stupid gaurd? Or maybe we should wait and get the keys.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Can you take out the grumpy guard quickly and quietly? If not, perhaps you should look for a weapon.

Also, might check how many guards are in the guard quarters.

Start planning some sort of distraction to draw them out of the quarters so you can get at the keys.

The guards seem to be pretty far away from the cell doors in this layout. Depending on how the upper floor is set up, it is possible we could pull the prisoners out of their cells before anyone could get to the doors.

In any event, we must work quickly before the alarm is fully raised.

Let's head to the next floor up, or see if there's a crawlspace or otherwise some sort of drain system we can get into. How about that little hole in the wall back from our prison room? Can we squeeze through there and then move between the walls?

fffffff

I've got to go. I'll be back later.

Until I return I want you to remember these guidelines:

Don't kill unless absolutely necessary. Don't let yourself be spotted unless absolutely necessary. SNEAK, BITCH.

How's your backhand? You think you can knock out someone with one strike to the back of the head/neck? If so, do that when sneaking up on people.

Use crawlspaces, dumbwaiters, vents, drains, whatever you can fit into whenever possible. USE YOUR ADVANTAGES TO YOUR... um... ADVANTAGE!

Hell, sneaking out and waiting until nightfall might be a good idea, less light coming in from the windows is a good thing to be sure.

We can't blindly rush in. We don't even know if it is our man. It might just be another prisoner or at worst a trap. Sneak in and remember the basics of CQC

>>34514
>We can't blindly rush in.

I see what you did there. You've got to keep an eye out for those little sayings.

Can you imitate an Engsami? Picked up enough words to tell him to open up, maybe? Then ambush him.

>>34484

Forget about this for a while, you were seen when you killed the other guard. Your primary goal now is to put some distance between the cells and you or to kill the witness. Go, fast.

Incidentally, why have the Engsami not killed us yet? They don't seem the prisoner taking types.

>>34569
They gotta eat, and meats best freshly killed.

Dead engsami are going to put people on higher alert than KO'd engsami.

Anyways, definitely try to head upstairs. That's where all the locks are.

These water drains are tight fits, but I can wriggle through them. I'll crawl in the one in the first room and check it out.

They appear to be linked. At their junction there was another chute that links them with the walls on the upper floors I think, and another on each side that leads further down.

It appears that I'm back at the weeping room.

>>34489
>If not, perhaps you should look for a weapon.

The gear they took from me would most likely be in the storage hold. I'm not entirely sure where that is in relation to my current location though.

>>34531
>Your primary goal now is to put some distance between the cells and you or to kill the witness.

I have no idea what the witness looks like, so I wouldn't know who to find. I can hear some commotion from the room with the Nedynvor in it. They're probably already down here looking for me.

>>34569
>Incidentally, why have the Engsami not killed us yet? They don't seem the prisoner taking types.

They, however, are the slave trading, ransoming types. Problem with me is, they're trying to ransom me back to the Lazuhreks. Which is a negotiation they'll be at for a while, since I haven't been back to the forest for years...

>>34796
Can you make an inaudible noise that may effect the guards head in some way, such as giving him a severe headache or something that will make him highly disoriented?

Keep looking through the drains. Are there any other rooms you can look into?

>>34796
How easily could you take out that brute in the chair, do you think? He'll probably wake up if we free Tav.

>>34796

Yeah, I'm not feeling too good about this. He looks tough, awake and you admit you would need and advantage to take one on. Unless he gets distracted long enough for us to squeeze through I'm going to suggest looking into other rooms. Getting your stuff back sounds good but during your previous escape attempts what went wrong?

Not very. He IS awake, which is the problem... if he were asleep I could sneak in easy enough.

>>34806
>Getting your stuff back sounds good but during your previous escape attempts what went wrong?

I don't really know my way around this place so well... so while I end up trying to find the whole reason I tried to break in here in the first place, they eventually cornered and overwhelmed me...

The next room up appears to be the room over the cells. There doesn't seem to be anyone else in here right now.

What the hell kind of lock is this!? There's no key hole or anything... just this weird symbol etched into it

Well crap. Try gnawing on it a bit? How strong is your jaw?

Have you seen anyone else let out of or thrown into a cell? Have the guards been carrying any strange-looking objects around? There's got to be a way to open them.

Can you turn the weird symbol or have you "seen" anything like it, possibly on a guard?

It appears to be a symbol of something biting something.

The lock is made of metal. My teeth aren't strong enough to gnaw through that.

I can't turn it. It looks to be set in there. I KNOW I've heard guards walking around with some sort of keys jingling around all the times they've thrown me down one of these blasted holes.

>>34922
You're REALLY lucky they haven't killed you yet, with all the times you've been captured.

Let's explore some more, if we can. Back to the drainpipe!

Well obviously with your echolocation, silly. You say they're carrying keys, but are the objects actually key-shaped?

I can tell the general shape and size, size, and distance of something. My nose usually tells me what it is, failing that, my hands.

Nothing sentient in here but me I'd say, and the body's most likely been moved, I doubt they'd just leave a fallen comrade lying in the middle of the floor. Bad for morale.
