My evil goal is to have you all fight with the manacles still on, to convey the proper amount of dismay and helplessness you will feel while down in the pit.<br/><br/>Also you cannot aid another in a skill that you are not trained in. The monk and rogue both have escape artist, so the monk can give the kittengirl a +2 aid and break through the DC 35 escape artist check since she has a +14 to her roll. It won't work in reverse for monk since even taking 20 for him won't help.<br/><br/>Since is all assuming that the monk has the intelligence to go, "hrm.... maybe if I groped her in just the right fashion..."<br/><br/>The collars do not have locks on them, since they are permanent collars that were welded around the kittengirls necks. Each is a inch thick and has hardness 10 and 30 hit points, and escape artist check cannot be used to get out of them or disable device.<br/><br/>
