Session 57: Prison Break Report

General Summary

The session began with the party just having sneaked their way into one of the Tar Prisons in the undercity in Niduin. They had just decended a staircase to come face-to-face with a Knight of the Golden Leaf, sitting guard behind a barred off room. Reacting near instantly, Omen ei' Taure dashed to the bars and grabbed the knight, grappling and pulling them against the bars. he then proceeded to muffled and stunned the knight, possibly making them unable to call for aid. With this, the rest of the party followed them down the stairs, also casting a Silence spell to guarantee that no other guards were alerted while they choked out the knight that saw them.
After having completed this, they briefly discussed wether to leave the guard knocked out or kill them to guarantee they could not identify the party. Deciding to leave the guard, they found two others in a break room and instead headed to the prisoner mess hall. From there, Nitt was sent to unlock another set of doors leading west, but as they did some guards on the other side seemed to notice that the door was unlocked. As the guards rushed to the kitchen that had a view into the mess hall, Nitt used his power over illusions and used a Major Image to create a wall on the opening that the guards could see through and block it, however an alarm bell was rung.
At the same time, to get away from the other guards that were now making their way to the mess hall, Maro Rei 'Sky' rushed south and reached the prison cells. As Omen also arrived, he rushed and ripped a door off one of the cells belonging to a drow woman called Drisva. Following this, Baradin Godchosen cast Bones of the Earth, lifting the floor in the doorways to block guards from following them through the mess hall, but to the party's dismay, two knight came from a doorway to the south of the cells, even though the door to the north was blocked. To solve this, Nitt cast a Hypnotic Pattern on the two knights, incapacitating them.
To get past the two knights, Omen punched one of them out of their stupor and pushed them away from the doorway they had passed through. He then proceeded to rush through the doorway, past a corridor, back upstairs, run around the building, notice that one of the guards from the kitchen had gone upstairs, before running back and punching the same knight again. Now, the party asked the prisoner if they knew where Ironhand, the person the party was looking for, was., but the prisoners did not know. So instead, Maro askeed if they knew were the isolation cells where, and they got to know that the cells were back north, through the doorway to the mess hall that Baradin had blocked. Drisva then asked if they were here to free Ironhand and as the party responded that they were, as well as a person called Joy, she turned to cast a Dominate Monster on Baradin but failed.
As the melee fighters were dealing with the knight to the south, knocking them unconcious, Nitt went to another cell to free a high-elf called Jaheira, who told the party that she was a spellcaster, but the shackles that were put on her prevented her from casting spells, even though Omen later gave her his Staff of Swarming Insects as a focus. In response to her attempt to mind control him, Baradin approached Drisva, who was now changing to take the form of a creature made from yellow wax. But before she could fully change, Baradin hit her with a Planar rod and cast Plane Shift, transporting her to Carceri.
At the same time, two knights broke through the Bones of the Earth pillars that were between the mess hall and the cells, and in reaction to this, Eldon Caufield cast a high-level Hold Person, paralyzing both knights as well as the remaining knight to the south. If they were to remove her shackles, Jaheira recommended either casting Dispel Magic or trying to find the keys. So, whilst Arten Veronica Lagurdo, Baradin, Omen, and Takemura Yoshiro were dealing with the remaining knights, Nitt dispelled the magic from the shackles and Maro broke them against the bars of one of the cells. Now free, Jaheira said she was willing to aid the characters and told them that the isolation cells where to the west of the mess hall. As the party gathered in the mess hall on the way to the isolation cells, the session ended.
