Naeris gingerly accepted the bowl of watery broth brought by the Quaggoth, eyeing he creature warily. She'd heard enough tales about the animosity between their species not to feel at ease around the shaggy beings while she was unarmed. Still, the Quaggoths were far from the scariest things there, the drows were, especially that Ilvara priestess with that awful tentacled staff.<br/><br/>Naeris didn't have any illusion about her and her fellow prisoners' eventual fate. At best they'd be worked to death. At worst, they'd be sacrificed in some gruesome fashion to Lolth or some other demon, and as an elf, she had no doubt that the fate the reviled dhaerow would inflict upon her would be along the worst side of the spectrum. Which meant they had to escape and the sooner the better.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the task promised to be difficult. She'd managed to establish a pretty good mental map of the drow outpost, but she still didn't know how numerous the opposition was or all the patrols' patterns.<br/>The others captives might work with her, but some might also decide to curry favor with the dhaerow. She thought the cute human spellaster was a safe bet, after all she got her that rope during their garbage shift. True she had yet to figure out how a five feet long rope would help, but who knew?<br/><br/>Her thoughts were interrupted when some of the others began to talk. The human male sounded kind of grumpy which was more than understandable given the circumstances. The gnome had a curious speech pattern that made her sound somewhat childish, but it might just come from a lack of familiarity with Common. Naeris wasn't that accustomed to the language herself not having had that many opportunities to speak to n-tel-quessir before.<br/><br/>"I'd be more than happy to leave this place myself, but escape will be difficult. Our movements are restrained, we're weakened and far from anythin and anyone familiar, while our captors are numerous, strong and well armed, and we're on their territory. I've only seen two ways out: the lift we used to come up to the Southwest and the pool to the north if we can climb down or survive the fall. We might be able to somehow use the spiderwebs? We'll also need to either avoid confrontation on our way there, or make sure to only fight groups less numerous than we are. We'll need to get rid of those chains first, of course."<br/>She sighed. If only she could formulate an actual plan. But without more data, making a more detailed plan would be impractical.<br/>"I'm Naeris, by the way. Naeris Amastacia. I regret that our meeting had to happen in this circumstances."<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
