CONDITIONS: None. Caelin weakly nodded his agreement, "Our gear isn't important Zakkoth!" He looked around, "No bodies to strap to our posts, so the first guard who stumbles this way will notice three of the poles don't have us strapped to them and an alarm will go 'round the camp, so we need to move, fast. We can re-supply at Nighthill's Keep." As he spoke his head was on a swivel, feeling naked and exposed, "Let's get Leosin out of here. Now."

Back to the posts and eyes alert, Benyt listens with annoyance and trepidation. The situation is harrowingly dangerous given the enemy's strength. And now these people wanted to cut and run when their companions were nowhere in sight. They didn't take her seriously when she suggested a rally point far from the camp, and now their only recourse was Greenest itself. She took a deep breath and shrugged mentally. Escape is the best course. The sooner they are away the better.
If things get bad she can at least offer Henry the use of her shield and spear - no reason protect an unarmed man who's competently trained.

Eliana (dreamangel) "Yes, you are quite...dexterous and graceful," Colton says. "You must be tired, though, now. Perhaps you'd like to join me in my tent? I have that bottle of wine still that I mentioned before, after all..."
Chantilly (chantilly) "I'm not sure," Fenn admits. "I don't think Greenest really had any threats left, but anything's possible. Maybe the kobolds they were traveling with delayed them somehow. Maybe they're just lost. Regardless, I can't sit around waiting anymore."

"What happened to the twins?" Eliana asks curiously.

Chantilly SweettoothHP: 19/19 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " Mh, yeah, maybe.." The little kender started to look around, it was probably time to go. " Listen, Fenn, I really need to go back or they'll get mad at me. If you want, I'll get back here as soon as I'm done and we can go check together. I think it would be best if we go alone though, this would allow us to move more swiftly and avoid attract too much attention if someone hostile is around. What do you think?"

Zakkoth nod. 'Very well" he look at Leoshin and then at the warrior woman. 'You seems upset, are you seeing something I dont?'

Eliana (dreamangel) "They can join us, if you like," Colton says with an arched brow, clearly intrigued by the idea.
Chantilly (chantilly) "Yeah...makes sense," Fenn says, distracted. "Smaller group, faster and stealthier. I'll go speak with Mondath. We can meet back here."

Chantilly SweettoothHP: 19/19 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No "Sure! See you later then." - she said before bidding him farewell. Taking one last look at the guards stationed at the entrance of the camp, she went back to the others. OOC How are the guards at the entrance organized, how many were there, etc?

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on the offer," Eliana says. "I need to check on the friend I was with earlier. She gets a few drinks in her...and, well, it isn't pretty," she assures Colton. "Have fun with the twins." She says her goodbyes to Colton, then heads off into the crowd until she feels it is safe to head back to where she last saw everyone.

Caelin (zeroprime) and Henry (bunnycommando) and Benyt (gorgonheap) and Zakkoth (igordragonian) While Benyt ponders Zakkoth's query, Eliana arrives from the north and Chantilly returns from the west.
Eliana (dreamangel) Eliana returns to the site of the three stakes, and finds that the half-elf prisoner, Caelin and Henry have all been untied and are now standing in that area alongside Zakkoth and Benyt. The two knights who were guarding them are not present. She also sees Chantilly arriving from the west.

Eliana looks around for a moment before she heads down to join the others. "So..." she says, looking directly at Henry. "What happened to staying out of trouble?"

CONDITIONS: None. Caelin was frustrated, he wanted nothing more than to stalk into the large tent, retreive his broad bladed knife, and run it across Mondeth's throat, but he knew they needed to retreat. The struggle between his desire, and the reality of their situation was writ plain on his face as he placed a hand on Eliana's shoulder, "Not his fault." He paused, "Mine. Some mercenaries recognized me from the fight against Cyanwrath." He shook his head, clearly frustrated in himself, "We need to go, if we're discovered here we're all dead and this was for naught."He evaluated the others, "You've got the garb, keep us in chains, and walk us out of the camp. Most guards won't question us, but we need to bloody well move!"

Eliana glances over to Caelin when he touches her shoulder, and takes note of the frustration on his face. She takes a moment to give his hand (the one touching her shoulder) and small squeeze. "While I agree we need to move, we still have a little time. There is a big feast going on right now," she explains. "To celebrate their victory, so there are a lot of mercenaries and cultists getting drunk right about now. We learned where the other prisoners are being kept, and considering their fate, after they are done with hard labor, isn't looking to bright, I have a hard time leaving them behind. Did we at least rescue Zakkoth's friend?"

Chantilly SweettoothHP: 19/19 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No " I agree with you, Lady Eliana, we should try and save the rest of the people here." Chantilly turns toward Caelin and Henry, a worried look in her eyes: " As for your plan, Caelin, I'm not sure that's feasible. There are a lot of guards at the entrance now, and they seem to have intensified controls on who goes in and out." - she mumbles over trying to remember what she saw earlier, tapping her finger on her chin. - " I checked for other routes and I think our best bet is to climb the walls of this camp, there are plenty of protrusions you can use to scale it, and I found some rope which could also help." She appears to ponder something before continuing: " As for where to climb exactly, I'm not sure. Greenest is north of here, but the north wall is right between the guard towers, the tiniest mistake could easily catch their attention. The south side seems much for safe for a stealthy escape, but it would require much more time to circle the whole canyon before being able to take the right route, especially if there is someone hurt among the prisoners which could slow down the entire group.." Chantilly paused, catching her breath after her monologue, repeating it in her head to make sure she didn't forget any crucial information.

"I told Henry earlier, we're here for Zakkoth's friend," he nodded towards where the Draconian was assisting the half elf monk from his bonds. "And the only reason we are rescuing him is because he has information Nighthill needs," he hissed as he continued. "Chantilly tells us they're tightening security, and you want to try to rescue a dozen more people?!? We might as well tie ourselves back up right here. Guards wander, we're exposed, we're taking him up the south wall."He sighed, his voice softer now, "I'm sorry, but we can't save them all. Now, let's move." Pleading. "Please."
