Story, Lucius, and Brook are captured by Scaevola and his guards, and only Elizabeth escapes. As the sun rises on the Ides of March, she tries desperately to get help to rescue her friends. However, they have a dilemma: they cannot mount a rescue mission and stop Scaevola's plot at the same time.
Story stands and jogs in place for a moment before looking around the room and saying, "Now... let's see what we can do to get you both free." Clinging to the wall he slides up to the exit in order to hear any movement beyond the dead-end room of their imprisonment. Satisfied that he hears nothing, he peeks through the archway to see what lays beyond their location. Hoping to see something that he could use to help free his companions.
Story saw nothing he hadn't seen before in the outer room, and none of it looked particularly helpful. The creatures looked very unhelpful, but fortunately they were still sleeping in their beds.
Spoiler:
Story, if you want to leave the room you're in, please roll Sneak.
Before attempting to sneak out of the room they find themselves in Story looks at his companions and says, "I'll be back." He then flashes a smile and steps out.
Story smiles at the beastmen, lifts his hand and waves as he says, "Hello. Um, pardon me Mr. Lion, Mr. Bull. I came down to check on the... prisoners. I didn't mean to disturb your slumber. The time for you to wake hasn't come. So, feel free to lay back down. Again, I'm sorry." He smiles hoping for the best, all the while he begins to prepare his body for defense as his Venusian Karate training taught him.
Lucius look at Brook and say:"Don't worry Brook it was a last resort idea! " Lucius turn back to his chains and say:"I guess my only option is try to break free now."
Lucius put his two feet against the wall and tighten his chain with his arms and start pulling as hard as he can using his legs and arms.
The lion-man and the bull-man advanced slowly on Story. They clearly weren't buying it.
It took all of his strength, but Lucius managed to break the chain free from the wall with a loud snap! Try as she might, Brook could not duplicate his feat.
In the other room, the jackal-headed and ibis-headed creatures awoke at the sound.
Spoiler:
You may all act before the creatures do. Lucius, if you follow Story, you will not be able to attack this round, but you will see the creatures and must roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 0/1d8. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, you must roll Idea. Succeeding at this roll means you go temporarily insane. Brook, you have already failed to slip and break free, so you cannot try either of those again.
Creatures' Listen rolls (25% base skill) to hear the chain break:
Lucius look at brook trying to break of her chain without success. Seeing the desperation in her eyes he told himself he needed to do something. He position himself just like he did on his chain and try to pull it out." Brook! Together we can make it!"
He pull with all his strenght.
Spoiler:
Not sure what to roll here. Just my str or combine with the one of Brook?
