You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.
Katarina

The ringing in your head only gets worse when you open your eyes. What little light there is stabs into them and you wince. Slowly you open them again to take in the surroundings. Ship's hold. That doesn't tell you much. You could be out at sea or still docked in port for all you know. There's no way to see outside to tell. Even if you could, it would be a very limited view. And now someone's talking. Wonderful.

"Quiet. If they know we're awake, they'll probably come in to fix that."

The chains are far too strong to burst and you have no way to get at them with the one weapon you still have, that you always have. Nor are you too keen on letting that cat out of the bag. Instead you test the wood the manacles are bolted to. Perhaps that will give before your arms do.

Strength check: 1d20+4 19 Unlikely, but it was a decent roll.

You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.

"I am a soldier who needs no weapons. I'll be more than happy to assist if it gets us the hell out of here."

With all the activity, it seems like everyone's forgotten to marshal what forces they have available. There are still able bodies chained up, prisoners who will surely want to escape.

The soldier joins the search. Anything can be a weapon or a shield. The barrels have to contain something of use.

Perception to search the barrels: 1d20+5 12 Probably won't find much, but worth a shot

"By all means, take it."

Kat hands over the box and tries another barrel.

poo poo. Well, the group of prisoners outnumbers the guards, but every little bit helps. Kat summons up her psionic blade and hopes these men are as superstitious as most sailors.

"It's already ugly. I'm going to cut out their hearts for this."

Gonna try and scare the mooks a bit.

Kat moves in to try cover another flank. If they can surround the guards, it will be a very short fight.

Moving to flank with Tantris if there's room. I hope a 12 hits :s

"It was the same for me. I hate to think of what these bastards did to us while we were out."

The soldier sends a blow into the guard's gut to all the perceived slights to her honor and profession. Perhaps he'll remember why she was the one paid for the dangerous work and he was just a bullyboy onboard a slave ship.

"You'd best answer the questions, maggot. Before I decide to take my just compensation from your hide."

Playing bad cop for Salazar.

"I do not like such long odds. The ring seems our best chance at returning home, wherever it be that you call it."
