No I have tried but in my own ideas. None of them have worked. Yes I could have given you the information in ooc. But I saw no point. You were set on ignoring in IC and it had no impact on the plot. Now it dies. So I will have to reward Liz and her past to make her being a slave possible in another way. One that gives her more freedom. Liz has skills. More than she thinks she does but they don't matter and arent likely to come into play in anyway. Liz is a horrible liar. Even if she did walking up to people admitting that she is a slave looking to escape her owner is the stupidest thing she could do. That would be like a criminal announcing they were going to commit a crime before they do. I was hoping for something less obvious. Characters like this bladed beauty have people after them they are hard to find. They would admit it in a room full of people who might be interested in the bounty on their heads. As much as I would like to contribute none of my attempts have worked out and honestly I am not going to try until I have a better idea of the path you want to follow. Yes I can see Bastian getting worse that makes me hesitant. Liz can go into the building and start asking questions but logically if I were the bladed beauty, and I do have a character that could use that name, I would not admit to who I was to anyone. Especially someone as meek and naive as Liz.
