-This ought to get their attention.

Zaifa grabs unconscious kobold and makes a run for it. Aggravated duo of gnolls follows after her. And they are fast.

With kobold on her hands Zaifa won't make it far enough...

[Remember -> You can switch between main characters]

Have Zaifa inform the others of her situation, have peck cover you with his crossbow. Switch to Zeeke! Maybe he can make a trap to help her escape.

Zaifa signals Peck and he makes a shot at the biggest traget he can see. Bolt hits gnoll in the back... and he don't even notice it.

Call in our bold buddy! Blind them with the weird chest-of-a-thousand-suns business we used on the crab!

Well shit get someone near you to assist zaifa, that's really all you can do, send some loyal minions for a distraction.

RAT! We need your help!
Quickly!

got any poison for Peck to use? Cause if you do, even if the poison doesn't kill whoever peck hits it'll still slow them down.

Zeeke
-Looks like Zaifa won't have any backup on this one.

>>592674
Excellent, Zaazu's here for backup. You still have the Gnoll Tail, Zaifa? Now will be the best time to do something with it. I suggest temporarily throwing the horned 'bold up, throw the tail onto the face, and play pin the tail on the Gnoll, the wrong way. Alternatively go for the jugular.

Alright then zaazu, I guess if we double team then one of them will go down for sure, but that leaves the survivor to grab someone. I guess whoever gets jumped on by zaazu should get shanked by zaifa, so feel free to drop the unconcius bold for now so you can focus on combat. (If he wakes up hostile we might be in trouble though.

Paz get in there and hide near the unconcoius bold, or at least keep an eye on him.

Is Zaazu as strong or stronger than you, Zaifa?

Meanwhile Zeeke succesfully positioned machine right under feeding hole. And prepared it for launch.

Zeeke
-"I hope it will work..."

Don't really have time or resources to test it. Just hope you put things together right. Until the others wrap things up you should go over your construction and look for any flaws. Last minute checkup sort of thing.

While Zaazu is distracting Figarr Zaifa should go on the offense. Now that its not two against one she can take on the other big guy.

Maybe taunt him with his tail to enrage him so he makes a stupid lunge at you. Then slide to one side and use his momentum to carve a big gash in him.

Also where is Paz? If she is close enough to go for the magic user she can bring them to us and we can work on making you a new minion if you like.

Hodapp, Zeeke! You got the alchyfire yet? Where's Paz?

Paz comes running toward Zeeke carrying a flask of alchemist fire.

Huzzah you get things ready and we will let the girls know. We will need there fighting skills up top.

-I think they got it covered.

Well if they fight off the attack I would take some time and go over your work once more before trusting your lives to it.

Otherwise get your ass in gear and get the fire in place and the balloon heating.

Zeeke places flask of alchemist fire inside the contraption and checks if everything is working.

Zeeke
-"Well this is as good as it gets... Not too shaby if I say so myself."

Paz
-"Is it gonna go BOOM?"

Zeeke
-"Not exactly, fire will kick in on the second phase... I hope this thing won't just turn into ball of fire... Or else we'll be toasted... literally."

Paz
-"I like toasts."

Zeeke
"Its pretty much ready to go... Listen Paz should we really wait for others? With only two of us we will have much better chance to lift off."

Paz
-"Green lady is nice, she told that she trust me, then gave me the fire flask."

A) Wait
B) Grab Paz and lift off
C) Lift off

Wait for them to get here.

If it goes badly and you crash they will murder you. And you will need them to fight the guards up top. And once you escape there will be safety in numbers.

I'd say wait because even if this thing works you still have to deal with the guards up top and I don't think you could take them on even with Paz's help... also maybe you should hold onto the alchemist fire incase Zaifa decides to kill you or something so you can just throw it at her and run like hell. I don't think she'd do that, at least not until you're all actually out of the prison simply because she might need you incase things go south but she did say herself that you couldn't really trust her.

Good point... can't argue with that.

Zeeke and Paz dicides to wait for Zaifa and Zaazu to arrive.
Good thing that at this hour nobody wanders around barrack's too much.
10 min. passes by... As Zeeke was tightening the sling on one side of the "cannon", he heard a footsteps coming in his direction.

Looks like it could be Zaazu holding Zaifa in her arms. But just in case get ready for trouble.

Zaazu
-"You'd better hope this thing would fly..."

Zeeke
-"Shit! What happened? Did you two managed to lose Figarr?"

Zaazu
-"He won't be a problem..."

okay, pile in and launch it.

If she will let us look at Zaifa we could give you some medical advice for her injuries.

Unless they want to leave right now we should at least get them bandaged up before we make the trip.

If you have any moldy bread or fruit with a grey mold that turns bright green as it ages you can use the mold to ward off infections. Just carefully trim it off and put in under the bandages.

Other than that not sure what else you have around here to treat injuries.

Zeeke
-"She looks very bad... maybe I can help her somehow? Voices tell I can use mold from the bread to ward off infection.

Zaazu remains silent, she looks puzzled by something. She frowns and whispers something to herself.

Zaazu
-"I only need to know one thing... Is this thing really gonna fly?"

A) -...yeah.
B) -uhu.
C) -of course it will...

yeah, it will fly, it getting past any guards may be another story. but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

That is a "If he says yes I am going to take Zaifa and leave him here look".

So tell her that if you don't pilot it carefully then it will crash into the ceiling. But you are sure you can get everyone safely up the shaft. But you will need her help.

If she was in her right mind she would realize you don't try to leave the only guy who knows how the flying machine works behind. But she is in panic mode and is only concentrating on saving Zaifa right now.

If she hesitates mention that there will be guards up top so she will need someone to watch over Zaifa while she deals with them.

The more indispensable and trustworthy you make yourself the better you chances of avoiding betrayal.

>I only need to know one thing... Is this thing really gonna fly?

let me put it this way. It's going to fly or those riding in it aren't going to have to worry about that little detail for long.

yes she does, this thing was built for 4, it wont do much better with only 2 people in it.

Figarr
-"And here i begun to wonder where on earth did you hide yourself Zeeke. No hard feelings ok... let consider us even for that ham you owe me."

Well I guess we should try to keep Paz safe while Zeek is out of it.

Or we could try to chat with Zaazu and see if she will talk to us. Worth a shot at least.

Paz steps off the way of Figarr as he bearly gives attention to him.

Then three of them Zaazu Zaifa and Figarr use contraption and fly off into through the food hole. As they reached it Alchemist Fire kick's in and propels them even further up... Paz can't no longer see them.

>We could try to chat with Zaazu and see if she will talk to us. Worth a shot at least.

Their minds are cut off from the gem...

Well that could have gone better but it also could have gone way worse.

They might get lucky up there and throw down the ladder but for now lets assume we need a new plan.

Paz I am sorry to say the nice green lady had to choose between us and her friend. You need to drag Zeeke somewhere safe until he wakes up. After that see if you can find any food or supplies.

>>592874
... unless they throw the ladder down I hope the guards finish them off.

SO, question of the day, whether those three succeed or fail how bad do you think this is going to fuck up the prison? I mean if they fail the guards might just stop feeding the prisoners since any sent down here was sent down here to die anyways and that way they don't have to worry about any more escape attempts. If they succeed then the guards will either still do the "let the prisoners starve" thing or might actually send people down to figure out how the fuck this happened. Or those guy's will just kill them all (unlikely) and we're back to the whole starve thing... Either way Paz, you might want to start stocking up on food and find a damn good hidey hole. We're going to have to come up with a plan B anyways and unless they do drop down the ladder I'd rather not have worry about more backstabbing while we brainstorm.

The factions are gone.
That means power's for the taking.
Get enough people together we might be able to storm out the front gates.

That Kobold Glyph-user better still be alive for us to minion-itize!

I....but...all that....and then...he just... *sniff* FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL FIGARR. We were so fucking close! (Great chapter though...) ARGH. REVENGE IS SO NEEDED.

Just take care of zeeke, okay Paz? I'm pretty sure we will be okay, make sure you get him back to the fort, its not like Zaifa will be there to stop you, and since the plan was secret the guards will Still be friendly. Then we are gonna try again.

They will probably be able to handle the guards, and even if Zaifa decides to leave us here to die(I doubt she will, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would betray her minions like that and Zaazu was probably the person who agreed to help that guy escape) Zaazu will probably save us.

Lemme recap, zaifa is unconcious, a wounded zaazu is escaping with an unhurt figarr carrying zaifa. I'm pretty damn sure figarr said to her ''zaifa is hurt, and even if you beat me how do you and those skinny wimps plan to get past all the guards? You can just let me come with you, and I can get you past the guards, and your leader gets to live and so do you, sound good?'' Its very possible he even had zaifa in his arms for leverage. This wasn't either of their intentions, but they have no way to come back for us, and I so highly doubt figarr would be on board with it if there was.

Shit just happens sometimes, we gotta deal with it.

What's stopping them from coming back with a rope without Figarr knowing?

The guards. Say they all get out in one price and rip through all the guards, then what? Do you think they will bust back in to a now even more highly secured prison on lockdown because of the escape, with likely many more guards? No, they aren't coming back, unless they get rounded up and thrown back into the prison.

(I can't find a disscusion page for this, so if there is one, perhaps a link could be shown? Or maybe a page could be made for this if that is needed? I don't want to clog up this whole damn quest with chat between suggesters.)
