<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: large;">Captives</span><br/><br/>Nikea got out pretty quickly and shed off all the steel they had put on her. Clearly they should have considered putting her in a cage rather than trying to fit chains on her. The fairy dragon was quickly on her way and left to fly about freely next to the lumbering castle before diving down alongside it, leaving Ran to hang beside a pair of empty cuffs and a glimpse of a little bright green dot swooshing past some murkier green swamp underneath. Her own efforts to get free were a little less graceful. The human squirmed at the end of the chain like a bait dangling from a fishing pole as she attempted to unhook the rear end of the chains. The other captives near her only gave the barbarian bored glances as this clearly was not something uncommon. None of the captors seemed to mind too much either as they never would have guessed someone foolish or brave enough to attempt this...<br/><br/>Ran could feel a very tangible sensation of freedom as one of her jumps upwards got the chain free. No longer was she chained onto the castle or anything else for that matter. She had just a second or two to prepare for the splash. The chain would immediately begin pulling her down, but cuffs and some two meters of chain was not something that a strong barbarian would have troubles swimming with. It was difficult to see anything below the surface farther than your own hands.<br/><br/>OOC: Ran still restrained, but now now longer on the castle. Ran is somewhere below and presumably also behind it if it has continued walking. Nikea got free no problem. There are trees and more solid spots here and there so finding land to stand on shouldn't be very difficult.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: large;">Boat</span><br/><br/>The castle was still approaching, though only a silhouette could be seen through the thick canopy that obscured the boat and its sailors themselves from view. They had a few moments to mull over what if anything they would do now that the caravan turned out to be so large. After only a few moments they could see a green flier approaching along the swamp surface with with great speed. Unless the party tried to stop it the fairy dragon soon got to the boat.<br/><br/>OOC: Assuming you 'run' you'll make it to the boat way before the castle.
