Ok then... if this is the guy the Nedynvor was wanting you to look for, how do you plan to go about that? The key to the cells should probably be in the Guard quarters, which, if you recall from the last few times you snuck out of your cell, was on the next floor up somewhere. The guard sounds awake and grumpy.

>>34484
Is there any way you can take out the stupid gaurd? Or maybe we should wait and get the keys.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Can you take out the grumpy guard quickly and quietly? If not, perhaps you should look for a weapon.

Also, might check how many guards are in the guard quarters.

Start planning some sort of distraction to draw them out of the quarters so you can get at the keys.

The guards seem to be pretty far away from the cell doors in this layout. Depending on how the upper floor is set up, it is possible we could pull the prisoners out of their cells before anyone could get to the doors.

In any event, we must work quickly before the alarm is fully raised.

Let's head to the next floor up, or see if there's a crawlspace or otherwise some sort of drain system we can get into. How about that little hole in the wall back from our prison room? Can we squeeze through there and then move between the walls?

fffffff

I've got to go. I'll be back later.

Until I return I want you to remember these guidelines:

Don't kill unless absolutely necessary. Don't let yourself be spotted unless absolutely necessary. SNEAK, BITCH.

How's your backhand? You think you can knock out someone with one strike to the back of the head/neck? If so, do that when sneaking up on people.

Use crawlspaces, dumbwaiters, vents, drains, whatever you can fit into whenever possible. USE YOUR ADVANTAGES TO YOUR... um... ADVANTAGE!

Hell, sneaking out and waiting until nightfall might be a good idea, less light coming in from the windows is a good thing to be sure.

We can't blindly rush in. We don't even know if it is our man. It might just be another prisoner or at worst a trap. Sneak in and remember the basics of CQC

>>34514
>We can't blindly rush in.

I see what you did there. You've got to keep an eye out for those little sayings.

Can you imitate an Engsami? Picked up enough words to tell him to open up, maybe? Then ambush him.

>>34484

Forget about this for a while, you were seen when you killed the other guard. Your primary goal now is to put some distance between the cells and you or to kill the witness. Go, fast.

Incidentally, why have the Engsami not killed us yet? They don't seem the prisoner taking types.

>>34569
They gotta eat, and meats best freshly killed.

Dead engsami are going to put people on higher alert than KO'd engsami.

Anyways, definitely try to head upstairs. That's where all the locks are.

These water drains are tight fits, but I can wriggle through them. I'll crawl in the one in the first room and check it out.

They appear to be linked. At their junction there was another chute that links them with the walls on the upper floors I think, and another on each side that leads further down.

It appears that I'm back at the weeping room.

>>34489
>If not, perhaps you should look for a weapon.

The gear they took from me would most likely be in the storage hold. I'm not entirely sure where that is in relation to my current location though.

>>34531
>Your primary goal now is to put some distance between the cells and you or to kill the witness.

I have no idea what the witness looks like, so I wouldn't know who to find. I can hear some commotion from the room with the Nedynvor in it. They're probably already down here looking for me.

>>34569
>Incidentally, why have the Engsami not killed us yet? They don't seem the prisoner taking types.

They, however, are the slave trading, ransoming types. Problem with me is, they're trying to ransom me back to the Lazuhreks. Which is a negotiation they'll be at for a while, since I haven't been back to the forest for years...

>>34796
Can you make an inaudible noise that may effect the guards head in some way, such as giving him a severe headache or something that will make him highly disoriented?

Keep looking through the drains. Are there any other rooms you can look into?

>>34796
How easily could you take out that brute in the chair, do you think? He'll probably wake up if we free Tav.

>>34796

Yeah, I'm not feeling too good about this. He looks tough, awake and you admit you would need and advantage to take one on. Unless he gets distracted long enough for us to squeeze through I'm going to suggest looking into other rooms. Getting your stuff back sounds good but during your previous escape attempts what went wrong?

Inaudible? No... very loud? Yes... but I wouldn't be able to talk very well after that and it'd probably defeat the whole stealth element...

>>34805
>How easily could you take out that brute in the chair, do you think? He'll probably wake up if we free Tav.

Not very. He IS awake, which is the problem... if he were asleep I could sneak in easy enough.

>>34806
>Getting your stuff back sounds good but during your previous escape attempts what went wrong?

I don't really know my way around this place so well... so while I end up trying to find the whole reason I tried to break in here in the first place, they eventually cornered and overwhelmed me...

>>34800
>Keep looking through the drains. Are there any other rooms you can look into?

The next room up appears to be the room over the cells. There doesn't seem to be anyone else in here right now.

>>34876
Can you pick that lock with your claw?

>>34876
Let's go in, and see about getting Deme out.

I guess I could always try.

What the hell kind of lock is this!? There's no key hole or anything... just this weird symbol etched into it

>>34911
Well crap. Try gnawing on it a bit? How strong is your jaw?

Have you seen anyone else let out of or thrown into a cell? Have the guards been carrying any strange-looking objects around? There's got to be a way to open them.

Can you turn the weird symbol or have you "seen" anything like it, possibly on a guard?

>>34911
It appears to be a symbol of something biting something.

...maybe gnawing on it might not be a bad plan. Though it can't be THAT simple, can it?

...

The lock is made of metal. My teeth aren't strong enough to gnaw through that.

>>34916
>Can you turn the weird symbol or have you "seen" anything like it, possibly on a guard?

I can't turn it. It looks to be set in there. I KNOW I've heard guards walking around with some sort of keys jingling around all the times they've thrown me down one of these blasted holes.

>>34922
You're REALLY lucky they haven't killed you yet, with all the times you've been captured.

Let's explore some more, if we can. Back to the drainpipe!

>>34922
>Seen
Well obviously with your echolocation, silly. You say they're carrying keys, but are the objects actually key-shaped?

How refined is your echolocation anyway?

>>34931
I really don't know what they're shaped like unless I can touch them. If I can find an unaware enough guard somewhere, I might be able to lift the "keys" off him or something.

>How refined is your echolocation anyway?

I can tell the general shape and size, size, and distance of something. My nose usually tells me what it is, failing that, my hands.

>>34924
>Let's explore some more, if we can. Back to the drainpipe!

Ok, there's another chute leading to the right, and the chute leading back down, where should I go?

>>34932
To the right!

Also, did you search that guard you killed? He might have had a key.

Just trying to find a pry-bar might be more productive. Let's keep looking around to find tools and such.

You know... for some reason that thought hadn't occurred to me...

This room appears to be a very small store room of some sort... it smells like... animals... and vegetables... some sort of food storage?

>>34951
Hey, there should be a shocker crab nearby. Just lettin' ya know.

>>34951
Can you see anything sentient in there? Also, would it be possible to go back and check the guard or do you figure they've moved his body by now?

>>34951
What animals can you smell specifically? Do you smell or hear anything that might be an Engsami?

Also, do you smell anything that smells like ozone or crab?

Gorge yourself!

Don't mind if I do! No sense sneaking on an empty stomach right?

>>34954
>Can you see anything sentient in there? Also, would it be possible to go back and check the guard or do you figure they've moved his body by now?

Nothing sentient in here but me I'd say, and the body's most likely been moved, I doubt they'd just leave a fallen comrade lying in the middle of the floor. Bad for morale.

>>34955
>What animals can you smell specifically? Do you smell or hear anything that might be an Engsami?

There are far to many smells in this room to pinpoint anything other than dung... ugh... I don't hear any Engsami, though some of the animals seem to not be taking to my presence very well and are making some noise...

>>34987
Miiiight want to get back out of there.

Quickly.

Thundah Thighs. My god. How does it crawl through the drains like that?

>>34995
My guess is very suggestive shimmying.

Just posting to say that journey quest is the best quest on tgchan.

That is all.

Journey makes my life happy every time it updates. It is my primary reason for coming here. Also, I am now furry for Aggeia.

We're all furry for Aggeia.

No fighting.

Keep fighting.

I don't think that even qualifies as fighting. Level of emotion is way too low for that classification.

Nevertheless, continuation of the conversation is inadvisable and inappropriate. You needn't worry about hearing from me again in this thread.
