You wake up behind bars fading in and out of consciousness. Elly, your fighter, and Eddy, your rogue are in cells on either side of you but there isn't much you can do in your current state except set up your spell matrix and sleep.

Wake up! The orc will be back soon with food, and we need to warn the kingdom they're coming. What's the plan? #emote driven

Er. Where'd the pretty one go?

A fireball streaks out of your cell and incinerates the orc. Poor orc.

Elly is the sneakiest member of your party, and probably the best equipped to sneak back and warn the kingdom alone. Unfortunately you never find out if she succeeds, as the orcs decide to have you and Eddy for dinner.

Although you're all still in your cells, in only takes Elly a moment to pick all three locks now there's no guard. But is that a moment you had?

With the orc dealt with, you have a tough choice to make. Do you spend the time for Elly to pick all the locks, or do the people who are free set out immediately to avoid a delay?

You hope {party} manage to sneak out and warn the kingdom. Unfortunately you never find out if they succeed, as the orcs decide to have prisoners for dinner.

There isn't a moment to lose! You and {party} set off immediately, promising to come back and rescue {possible_party_members - party}.
