Her mouth full of creamy, crumbly goodness, Rayne couldn't reply immediately - not only delicious, but she felt herself healing and strengthening too, back to the vigorous half-elf she had been when starting on this journey.<br/><br/>"Umm... OK, definitely, moving down sounds bad."  It was a good thing she'd pulled out her magic after all, then... 'processing', 'retraining'... Rayne shivered.  "So, we have to keep winning.  Or, even better, get out before it becomes an issue."  Rayne flexed her arms, and nodded as she completed her self-assessment.  "That cake healed me up fully, so that's a good thing.  I didn't have much left by the end of that bout.  Definitely a close-run thing."<br/><br/>She looked from Sylvia to the harpy.  "Unless you have a much better idea of the layout of this place, I don't much like blundering out without a bit of scouting first.  I really couldn't keep track of the route in."  Her chest rose and fell as she let out a big sigh.  "I was thinking of springing the two of us, so we could take a quick look around, get an idea of this area, perhaps find where our stuff is stashed, then we could return before they come back to check the cells.  That way there's no alarm raised... and when we do make our break for it, we don't have any delays."<br/><br/>A quick look at the locks confirmed that letting out Sylvia wouldn't delay Rayne much at all, and having a second person searching would more than make up for the lost time.  Perhaps this wasn't exactly the ranger's favoured terrain... definitely dwarf-space, this... but four eyes were better than two.<br/><br/>For the benefit of the harpy - Rayne wasn't sure how that winged woman-creature would react if she thought the two newcomers were escaping - the Arcane Archer mimed two people walking out, looking around, then returning.  Then it was just a matter of waiting for the next patrol to pass by, so she and Sylvia could get the most out of their scouting opportunity.<br/><br/>Working "backwards", with the lock opening away from her, made the lock a little trickier than she would have liked... Rayne cursed softly as the pick slipped out of position again.  But finally it was open, and she darted over to open Sylvia's cell.<br/><br/>"We absolutely have to be back in time - don't be too long, or who knows what they might do."  The half-elf kept her set of picks - they might still be useful during this scouting, and headed out, intending to split from Sylvia at the first opportunity to cover twice the ground.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Stealth: At 2016-06-08 19:00:52, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 1d20a6 Result: 26 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=89155) Woo-hoo!<br/><br/>Disable device (+11 due to ranks, dex, and masterwork picks): took 4 tries, oops!<br/><br/>Stealth again, to avoid being noticed:    At 2016-06-08 19:10:52, victoria4 (uid: 37138) rolls: 1d20a6 Result: 25 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=89160)  She's like a cat!  Or an elf, I suppose.<br/></div></div>
