While Tom may not have eyes, he should know that Krohl also has some skill with lock picking. Since he's the one that, you know, just unlocked the entire party? :P

@Von Krieger - Do we know the normal schedules of the guards? Routine checks, food, guard changes, anything like? If we have an idea, it would probably make sense to move when they were in-between checks.

However, if we don't know that, then we might as well move out now.

Did all those guards that escorted Krohl go back towards the meeting room, or did they head somewhere else?

Just letting everyone know, I'm having a minor medical procedure done so I will not be able to post on November 16-18. Don't feel the need to wait up for me (or the DM can play my character to keep things moving along).

Not really, since there's nobody in the cell block. Two of them pop in and make sure you guys are still there and not prematurely dead or anything every few hours. But you can't really see when they change the guard.

Food has been sporadic. It's not like you guys are going to starve to death before they kill ya.

The extra guards went rattling and clanking down the stairs elsewhere. You heard faint mentions of Blackerly's nightly card game in the gatehouse, however, and the lot of them did head off in a relative hurry.

Of course, after I wrote my post I realized that Herr Doktor might have started drooling over the possibility of attaching an ogre arm to one of us ...

Just hope he doesn't ever find good anesthetic. You might go to sleep and wake up with an ogre's buttocks.

Michael, if you'd be so kind as telling me which spells you're casting? I'd rather not play 20 questions with my own memory and trying to figure them out by appearance.

Also, as the spells reach me, you would feel a prickling, and a vague sense of unease. A divine magic void, remeber

Sorry about that! Michael cast a lot of message spells (Arcane spells), trying to include everyone (or at least as many people as he could get). That'll get easier at later levels when it includes more people. XD I've learned that a spell that lets you communicate via whispers over distances is handy for making with the tactics.

On himself, he cast Mage Armor.

And finally, just a second ago, he cast Cure Light Wounds on our friendly neighbor Grumblejack.

For the record, Grumblejack is free, yes? Also, are we at the door of the guard room, making new perception checks? If so, here's mine ...(1d20+5)[12]

EDIT: sigh ... Nm

Maybe Grumblejacks reaction to the healing spell Michael used, but save that it doesn't seem like anything till we open the door.

Hmmm ... Wonder what those rolls mean ... If I had to guess, we might have been detected on the first attempt and second attempt ... damn low stealth rolls!

Here's hoping there's a plus for them being distracted or something ...

Ah, I see. Worth a shot.

As a tip, a DM usually rolls initiative for us. It goes a lot quicker to simply tell us when to go as opposed to waiting for all of us to roll OOC.

I'd do that, but my brain isn't working at full steam at the moment, and I probably ought to be more lucid than I am before delving into something important like combat.
