Since we have the Potions of Spider Climb, if you say that we can escape the cell that you were in, then it seems like the best means of entering and attacking them by surprise. But are you sure we'll be able to get out of the cell, Glennifar?"

"Hmm..." the elf mage seems to ponder the bard's question, "Well, while the shaft is a steep one, I've no doubt that with a spider climbing potion or spell that any one of us could make the climb up to the top. It's the lid at the top that I'd be concern about. I have no way of knowing if it simply covers the hole or if the lid is also locked down or weighted somehow should someone try and escape up it."

He frowns as he rethinks the party's plan.

"I doubt the gnolls or even the ogre is so smart as to use a lock on this lid since the shaft is so impossibly steep for a normal climbers without equipmet, but perhaps the ones that end up using the potions and spells to climb the shaft should also be the party's strongest. Just in case the lid weighted down by my former jailers."


Glennifar makes sure that Tyro hears this last idea in addition to the bard. "I'm only guessing that Turrold is the strongest, so perhaps he should be one of the climbers. Also, once he is about to remove the cell's lid, we could perhaps douse our lights below so that surprise and his special sight could finally be used to our advantage. We could then each climb up in the dark after him if he informs us if there are any gnolls within sight."


Glennifar is an Elf, but you'd hardly know it to look at him. At 5' 9" he is taller than most elves but seems even taller from under a large wizard's hat. His long, flowing, white hair is out matched only by his long flowing green and gray robes. He appears to be, in all respects, a typically wizened mage.
