[Center][h2][color=ed1c24]Aurora[/color][/h2][/center] Aurora started to wake up just as Brut had paused to take a break on trying to bend the bars. Her head was pounding, and as she ran her hand over her forehead she felt the welt from the rock that knocked her out. Touching is sent a spasm of pain across her head and her body involuntarily recoiled. She noticed then that her short sword was under her armor, between her shoulder blades, and hidden by a piece of cloth she did not remember having. The elf took a minute to move the blade out from between her back and armor, trying to keep it hidden under the cloth cloak for the time being. Afterwards she shifted into a slightly more comfortable sitting position. [Color=ed1c24]"A lock might be easier to open than trying to bend these bars wide enough for either of us to climb out through. Let me see if I can find my lock picks..."[/color] A few minutes pass as Rory went through her bag only ylto find her picks were now missing. [Color=ed1c24]"Damn it! I know I had them in my pack where are they?!"[/color] As she was asking she remembered that Agdon had lifted an item from Gabe as he fell as well as Brutrumukk after striking him with the brand. From that she figured he has likely taken her thieves tools while she was unconscious. [Color=ed1c24]"Those dammed bandits... if we ever see them again..."[/color] She muttered to herself as she kept digging through her pack. Her hand brushed against a key that the trees fro. The hill had given her. Realization struck, the trees mentioned that they might need a key as Jingle Jangle had dropped this one in particular. Quickly the elf began to inspect the cage for the lock and any potential means to escape. [Color=ed1c24]"I fail to see the fun in being locked in a cage. I know I've heard of some people who find delight in such things but I do not. If you want to get out of here help me find the locks. We might have a key that we can use to get us out of these cages."[/color] [hider=OOC] Rolled a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/25196]24[/url] for investigation of the cage and lock. If there is a lock anyway. [/hider]
