The last thing they remember was suddenly feeling sleepy before awaking in chains aboard a ship! Slavers got them! The unfortunates were then transferred to a cell in a series of caverns. It was here that Ryder the rogue, Rowen the priestess of Lydia, Sarafina the Raven-touched, Po of Seant, Virstalen, Maxine, and the strange boy Cyrus came together to escape. Po, Maxine, and Ryder all tried to bend the bars trapping them in the cavern, but could not. The strange-but-beautiful boy, Cyrus, however, gazed at the lock -- crimson light poured from his eyes and the lock popped open, allowing the group to escape.
Ryder stealthily scouted the two adjoining chambers, finding orcish guards in one direction and more slaves (and a single orc) in the other. The group wound up battling the orcs with Po, Virstalen, Cyrus, and Maxine taking several out. The nearly-naked former-prisoners then took the fallen orcs' weapons and equipment. Ryder was able to find Rowen's holy symbol plus some equipment, allowing the group to escape. They killed the orc in the next room and freed several children. Continuing, the party battled more orcs and managed to free another cell full of old people. Ryder told the escapees to stay where they were and the party would give them a signal when the way was clear. Again, the group gathered loose gear from the orcs to equip themselves. Meanwhile, Rowen used her magic to heal Po and Maxine.
The group chose NOT to open the double doors to their right, but instead took the passage to their left where they encountered a chained up grizzly bear. Ryder tossed it some orc to eat and the party was able to slip past and out of the caverns into the open sky...
But, what about the other slaves? What about their gear? And where are they?
