We stand down to reconsider....
We fall back to the standard plan, and Marian goes out to seduce another
guard coming off duty. He allows that he might be able to have a few drinks
with her. Imre secretly bolsters her attempt with a charm person, and
for the second time, a guard just falls before her, and heads up to her
room. There she questions him.
- How is the slumber mist trap in the prison triggered? There's a trigger
device in the superintendants office. It looks like a big lever on the
wall.
- How do you turn it off? You don't.
- Where does the slumber mist come from? There's a network of fine hidden
ducts all through the ceilings.
- Are the guards immune to the mist? Of course the are immune!
- Are the guards immune to the mist? No... (Imre intervenes and asks
another question.)
- Is there an alarm when the slumber mist is triggered? No (But Imre
says he's lying.) Yes.
- How long does it take for reinforcements to get there when the alarm
goes off? A couple of minutes.
- Are there any secret exits or entrances? Yes!
- Where? In the superintendants office!
- Is there a secret room? BLEAH!!!! spell failure!
- Are there stool pigeons among the prisoners? Yes!
- Who? Red! (One of Marc's leader guys.)
- When will you be missed? Right now!
- When will you be missed? Right now! (Still no one believes him.)
- Can you detect invisible people sneaking into the prison? Not really.
Kef gets lots of cheap booze. Marian undresses the guard. They put him
to bed and cover him with booze. Oh yeah, and FORGET!!!!
We decide on the crazy tunnel plan at night.
We get ready to bring whisper and his people in on the plan.
We reconsider and discard the plan. Then we form and discard seven new
plans. Including the exciting murder/suicide/resurrection plan.
We eventually settle on inside people unlock a bunch of cells and lead
them to the main entrance, which will hopefully be disintegrated and covered
with illusions before they get there.
The plan goes pretty darned well until an incoming prisoner transfer
interrupts our escape. Pesky. Luckily, most of the combat takes place
in the antechamber, not in the main prison complex.
Many, many fate cards are spent, and we escape! We meet up at the room.
We teleport the guy to Santa Vallandra, then Imre comes back and we maintain
our alibi for a week.

We set sail for home!!!! Yay!
Our informant saw a meeting in the palace between: Gorang, (the thief
we battled to get the Heart of Aggoth), and the Emporer.
