<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Sybille's hands were hanging through the gated barrier of her cell, her forehead resting against the cool metal as she tried to get a glimpse of what the dining hall looked like. She was concentrating but faltered when the ugliest guy suddenly approached her cell. A mug only a mother could love but something was off with this one. The bald man placed a finger against his disfigured lips and whispered to her. Sybille's jaw just about dropped as her brows furrowed, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Marek?"</span> She whispered back.<br/>
<br/>
He moved away again, taking advantage of his disguise that granted him free access to any other cave chambers as Sybille watched him disappear around the corner of her cell. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"No, wait!"</span> She whispered harshly, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Get back here!...Marek?...Marek?!"</span> She listened but heard only the murmuring of the the other bandits gathered at the dining table.<br/>
<br/>
She moved back and looked around in her cell to see if there was anything she could use to force the lock while also thinking about how to distract these men. She suddenly heard the men cheering as a fourth bandit joined the feast. But that wasn't what interested her, it was the sound of water splashing when the fourth dunked his cup into the barrel of water.<br/>
<br/>
Sybille's focus honed in on the noise and before the bandit could remove his hand the water froze around it. The man screamed in a panic, calling out to his colleagues as they rushed to him with a half-drunk wobble.<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(65, 168, 95)">"What happened?!"</span> said One.<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(247, 218, 100)">-"I don't know, mate! Just help me get loose!"</span> the Fourth groaned as the cold was biting at his skin.<br/>
One motioned for the others to help grab hold of Fourth and together they tried to pull his arm out of the icy vice grip. They couldn't do it and in their clumsiness the barrel tipped over dragging Fourth down with it while the others moved back.<br/>
<br/>
Sybille's Elven hearing heard it all and she smirked. Suddenly the ice melted and the floor flooded with a barrel's worth of water. The Second stared at the water while the others helped the Fourth up, the water seemed to move in an unnatural way. Seconds has seen this kind of behavior in water before...it was magic. His eyes immediately drew to the Elf in her cell as he drew a knife from his belt and approached her. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Ye knock tha' off, missy! Or i'll gut ya!"</span><br/>
<br/>
Sybille stepped away from the cage when the man approached her and she held up her hands in defeat. The water however continued to move towards the cell, slowly it rose upwards into the air like a slippery snake towering high above the bandit behind it. Seconds turned around and gasped at watery tendril as it moved lightning quick to force its way down the man's throat and airways. Moments later the man dropped dead.<br/>
<br/>
Sybille tried to look out her cell and listen for the others but it seemed they were still distracted. She bend down and grabbed the dead man, checking his pockets for a key but he had nothing. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oh for the love of the Holy Mother!"</span> She got back up gathered the water and let it wrap around the lock of her gate, freeze it and kicked as hard as she could on the lock and watched it shatter to pieces as the metal gate flew open with a loud bang.<br/>
<br/>
The three remaining men startled at the sound of metal clashing but before they could reach for their weapons Sybille launched another volley of water as it hardened into ice spikes and impaled them.<br/>
<br/>
At that moment Marek showed up with the keys, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oh now you're here!? Really?! Where are the others? You know what...I don't want to know. We need to find those Dwarves!"</span></span>
