Sir Karl began surveying his surroundings, he spied a skeleton in the corner.
"Prehaps I am doomed to shall share your fate" He said to himself. "Zis body is old, I doubt I vill be able to break ze bars."
He looked back at the skeleton.
"Hmm prehaps I can use one of ze ribs und try to pick ze lock" He thought to himself.
"Sorry my friend, but I cannot stay here." He said as he broke of a rib and then proceeded to open the lock with it.

Winston did not like being forced into a small room. Especially a small room in which he was not allowed out. In the past hour, he had had many attempts to get out of the room. First, he tried to break the metal poles stopping him from merely walking out. This didn't work too well and Winston's hands began to hurt, so he then tried to squeeze through them. He then got stuck and spent half an hour trying to get out either way. Unfortunately, he did not come out the way he wished for. Winston never gives up though. Winston is determined all the time. He had one more plan. If he couldn't get through the poles, he could get through the walls. So for the past 15 minutes, Winston had been banging his head on the wall. He was getting dizzy, but one thing he learnt was to never back down, not even to the strongest of foes. He kept on banging his head for awhile longer.
Phasys walked down the corridor, keeping to the shadows. Thud! Thud! It was a continuous sound, coming from one of the cells. Thud! Thud! A grunt of pain. Phasys stayed low, looked into the cell, and saw Winston bashing his head against the wall with a sheer amount of force. Phasys whispered:
"What the hell are you doing?! Calm down!"
"I doubt overclocking the hummers are worth it, the 7th regiment of the Taliban would simply be crushed from electric lemons produced by the dark dreams of Zanada, an enemy of Canada from the war of 1812, causing untold amounts of exploding napalm bombs reigning onto the planets of the Sem's Sun, producing monstrous demons of all sizes with water-cooling systems... All in theory of course." Winston responded with a serious tone.
"Wait here, I'll get help... just stop hitting your head... ok?" Phasys asked.
Winston nodded with a solem look on his face. Phasys continued down the halls of the fortress. He would rescue someone who could easily help him free the others. He couldn't put that responsibility on an 11 year old child. He made a few turns to the left and a few to the right. He saw cells with rotting corpses, skeletons in others. Eventually he saw a figure fiddling with the door. It was Sir Karl.
"Hey, over here! It's me, Phasys!" whispered Phasys. "Give me that rib, I'll open the lock."
"I doubt it, but zer is no harm in trying." came the reply.
Sir Karls eyes turned wide in fear as Phasys was fiddling the the lock. Instantly, Phasys jumped to the side as a sword rattled off of the floor, just where he was a moment before. He quickly turned to meet his opponent, and faltered when he saw heavily armed guard, with thick leather coatings and steel gauntlets. A mace came flinging down into Phasys' direction. He sidestepped, and the floor seemed to explode in bits of rock and dust. The debris settled, and once again the mace came crashing down. Phasys dodged once again, with blinding agility. However, the swing was fake, and it came bashing right into Phasys' side. Thank God this has no barbs on it... Phasys was flung against the wall. He faked being seriously injured, and leaped at the guard, crushing her helmet. She was instantly blinded, flung out, and fell to the floor. Phasys raised a foot, and crushed her throat.

"good job boy, now get over here und let me out!" Sir Karl said. "Ve must rescue ze ozers. But first ve vill need some veapons, I maybe a skilled varrior, but my body is old, I cannot fight so vell with zose much, much younger zan me vizout my svord."

Lady Delana Had no weapons to be stripped of. They Tried taking herarmor off but the guards quickly realised it was impossible as it was a extension of her own flesh. They Locked her in a cell much like the others had been. within 5 min of not seeing a guard she laughed a bit and her Enchanted gauntlet glowed red and a vein like finger came outta her gauntlet and into the locking mechanism on the jail cell. "Clank" as the lock slide open. She tried to quietly open the jail door but it creaked with every inch. A Guard ran down the hall and approached her thinking she was unarmed. She called forth her sword and Parried a downward blow. With a quick leg sweep she had the gaurd down on the floor and her sword raised ready to strike. She ordered the guard into the jail cell and Locked The guard in. She quietly creeped out of the hallway in search of the others. She saw a dead guard and stepped over her as she saw Phasys with Sir Karls. With her enchanted Gauntlet Sir Karls cell was open in just a few moments. The three Ran down to the next corrider to Help a Dazed Winston

The four adventurers carried on down the corridor to the last jail room, wherein Baeithra and Heinrich sat in adjacent cells.
"RAR RAR RAR" Heinrich groaned as he tried to bend the bars, but to no avail.
"Foolish boy. The bars will not budge no matter how hard you try." Baeithra said.
The sound of feet at medium pace broken the relative silence.
"ARGHHH" Heinrich yelled, still trying to bend the bars.
"Silence you fool!" Baeithra called out. "Someone is coming!"

It's a monster in a prison cell! Phasys thought, when he heard the roars of exertion caused from a nearby jail cell. "Rargh!" came the growl once more.
"Ze voice sounds very familiar to my ears..." said Sir Karl, trailing his thoughts.
"And why are you familiar with a demonic monster?" implied Phasys.
When they got to the prison cell, Sir Karl responded: "Because, as you can now see, it is Heinrich and Baeithra."
Phasys bent down and took out the lock pick created from the rib cage of a dead human. He put it in the lock and started jimmying it for a few seconds before Lady Delana summoned her vein-like finger from the gauntlet. It went into the lock and it opened almost immediately. "What was that?" said Phasys, with an astonished look on his face.
"That was true power." responded Lady Delana.

"about time you got here, this one was beginning to drive me insane" Baeithra said.
"Vat? just because I refuse to die in a cage like some stupid rat, before I am made into a knight." said Heinrich.
"m'lady, you continue to astound us viz your indispensibilty" said Sir Karl. "Now let us look for a way out of zis fortress, we have vork to do, and little time to do it in, I vould imagine."

Coulin who was asleep in a nearby cell, awoke when he heard a monster like sound coming from down the corriders. After awakening he quickly jump up off cold dusty floor and place his face close to the bars so that he could hear what the monster like sound was. To his disappointment all the roaring has stop so Coulin step back away from the bars. Stepping back he acidently kick over a skeleton. Dust flew everywhere blinding Coulin for a short while. After the dust clear a horde of spiders was coming from the skeleton eye socket. Coulin in horrid jumps back and started shouting " AWW HELP SOMEBODY PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! I HATE SPIDERS.
Phasys heard a cry for help. He looked back at his party to see if they heard it. They all had a cautious look on their face, and their bodies poised, ready to defend. Baeithra stepped forward, her had hovering above her sword, ready to strike. Everyone relaxed when they saw Baeithra's tension leave. Phasys stepped forward and began to say:
"Coulin? Is that you? I can't see through this damn dust!"
Coulin replied: "Yeah, it's me. But open up the gate, I can't hold them off for long."
Everyone went into panic when he said "hold them off". Everyone drew their weapons and people were asking in confusion:
"Who? Who are you talking about?"
"The spiders." Coulin replied with a weak smile.

"Spiders are the servants of the demon queen Lloth." Baeithra said as she let one crawl over her hand after it lowered itself down it's web. "Such a beautiful creature"
With bright flash of light the gerudo woman from the battlements appeared before the group.
"Hmm, you have proven more to be a most compitent thief" she said to Phays. "prehaps I underestimated you and you compatriots, I'll not risk further bloodshed, you are no longer my prisoners, yet, I cannot allow you to leave, not just yet."
"Ve are not prisoners, yet ve cannot leave? vat is ze difference!" yelled Heinrich.
"Quiet boy" The woman said. "I may have need of your.. combined skills. There is a small task I would like to to perform.
"I am not your errand girl!" Baeithra scuffed. "Find someone else!"
"Baeithra, I fear zat ve haf no choice to hear her out, I imagine zat they could kill us when ever zey chose, but zey didn't. vhy?" Said Sir Karl.
"Grrr" Baeithra grumbled. "very well then what is this task?"
"A mere extraction job. you enter a complex, retrieve an item and bring it to me." said the woman.
"Zat does not sound zat hard" said Heinrich.
"Ze simplest of tasks are often ze most complicated once you begin zem Heinrich" replied Sir Karl. "What is zis item you vish us to find, and vere is zis complex?"
"The complex is beneath this fortress, there is a entrance from the main courtyard, we have been having run ins with rival mercenary groups, The treasure contained within the complex, will give us a clear advantage."
"Why do you not just get it yourselves?" Baeithra asked. "Why do you need us?"
"Yes, und how do you know zis treasure is in zere!" replied Heinrich.
"I could get it myself yes, but you all happened to fall into my lap." said the woman. "Now go before I change my mind and have you all executed!"
"before ve go m'lady, might we know your name?" asked Sir Karl. "It does not seem right to do somezing for someone you do not even know ze name of"
"If you must know, you may call me Oboro. Now be gone!" the woman said.

After just getting out of a cell, Winston was filled with energy. He was ready for another adventure. He was also very curious as to what the "treasure" was and why these people needed it. Winston decided it better be good.
He latched on his sword, tied his boots and marched off.
"It's the other way Winston"
"Oh, I knew that"
Winston then turned around and marched the other way, a little disheartened.
They entered the tunnel that opened out on to the courtyard. It was narrow and poorly lit. Baeithra led the way, as she had the best vision in the dark compared to the others. After a short while they came to a large dome-like room, with three lions heads, one in front of them, one to the left and one to the right, each head had a door in it's mouth.
"Vich vay do ve go?" Heinrich asked.
"Hmm" Sir Karl mumbled as he thought for a moment. "If zis place is a complex, like she said, I'd imagine zat going one vay vill haf you come out anozer vay, und I vould zink ze middle one vould be vere ve shall find ze treasure, but only after ve haf tried ze ozer doors."
"So then" Baeithra said. "which it to be? left? or right?"
