  Barlo picks the locks and frees the prisoners. Calliope Galanodel helps the Dryad. She is very exhausted. She speaks in Sylvan to Calliope. Calliope offers water to the prisoners.   Shadow starts to talk, angrily, to the other prisoner. It is Brother of Shadow Belly of a Beast. Beast is surprised, it seems, to see Shadow .   Shadow: "What are you doing here?"   Beast: "I was taken prisoner by some Wizard who I was trying to help get my girlfriend back because he had taken her and he said that I would be good for his plans too. And he brought me here he said his name was Bargle.   I know it's been a while since we last spoke, but I have a girlfriend and she was captured. I don't know why he took her, but when he did, I went to rescue her. I was not very successful though. I think he took Mellow to somewhere with some mercenaries, my girlfriend's name is "Mellow", she's a Tabaxi."   The party thought the Dryad was the girfriend, but Barlo thought it might be his sister.   Shadow: "So, your poor decisions got someone else in trouble again!"   Beast: "no, I don't think so. It seemed more like he wanted her and then he thought that I would be helpful too.   At least that is the impression I got from what he had said.   And it's not like he told me his master plan anything but I picked up on a little bit here and there, and especially after he captured me, I feel like I learned more. But then after that, it was all just torture."   Shadow: "How about your friends they're not helping you."   Beast: "OK, so you have problems with my friends, and then you want to know about my girlfriend over there?"   Barlo: "What was her name?"   Beast: "Mellow. She's a Tabaxi from the Bronze Canyon"   Shadow: "OK, what else did you do, Beast?"   Brother of Shadow Belly of a Beast: "I didn't do anything. I got captured."   Barlo speaks up, about how he is related to Mellow Robin "Mellow"   Beast: "Oh, so you're Barlo. Sorry, Smiles."   Note: No one in the party knew his Tabaxi name.   Shadow pushes her brother. She's angry.   Beast: "Oh, I have been tortured for some time. Some nice flavored dust.   He says, thank you since. And I don't know how long it's been. I just know it's. It feels like years, but I'm sure it's been closer.   I mean, I don't know what the date is or anything, but I'd have to. I can't remember when it was. It all happened. It's it's. It's been an endless nightmare."   Shadow continues to pepper him with questions, but he says:"Once we get out of here, I've taken some rest. I can tell you guys more gladly. He looks over at Bastion, who's been searching the area and says that and kind of points off to the Northeast Room where the the boss was and he says, If you look over, since you're looking for something, if you look over there, you'd probably have better luck"   That last bit was to Bastion who was searching the rooms, he had rolled a 21 and so after digging under a few feet of dirt he sees a box.   Beast: "It's not important right now. Shadow what's important is getting some rest and then trying to get her back something."   Barlo works on the lock and breaks a glass vial releasing a green gas. Barlo is protected though.   As Barlo pulls out the items, Beast says the book is his.   He looks to Shadow and says it is the "thing". She says that was about a book?   Beast: "It's a very important book. What honestly I don't know the whole history of it, but this Bargle character, he it was important before him, obviously, because that night was before I had ever heard of him. But he seemed to also be interested.   I'm telling you, though, that it had nothing to do with what I don't think it had to do with this but it's like, can we just get out of here? And we could talk about it later. It's the book is mine. We'll talk about it all later. We can figure this all out and well, let's let me get some rest you're out."   Shadow: "My stupid brother..."   Beast speaks about how Bargle was interested in the book. then says: "I'm saying that he was interested in that as well. He was interested in her, but he wasn't like the book says the book was something else. And it's just a strange coincidence with this. So, I mean, I know it always seems like it's coincidence, but in this time, it is a coincidence."   Shadow: "Don't know why I was surprised."   Beast: "I think it's because he he knows about you guys. I heard him talking when he brought me here, and he helped these meenlocks. I heard him. He I heard your names come up and I didn't ... I was too weak to realize he was talking about you as when he said shadow. But I've heard other names. I've heard the names; Calliope, Bastion, Barlo -- which that I guess now it makes sense, like...   Well, I think Mellow was taken to punish Smiles and I think that's why he took me was when he realized that I was related to you. He if anything, this is actually you're ... it's your fault. I was captured, not him."   Shadow: "Oh, don't blame this on me -- you are the reason I left."   Beast: "Yeah, but what I'm saying though, is he when he realized that I was related to you, he figured this is a great way of torturing somebody that was close to you."   He says how much he needs rest and the Dryad obviously needs rest too.
