[Closed To LadyAnette]

[Baya]

Raulf thought for a moment. "I think the guards might have keys to the chains." Raulf suggested. Amadeus shook his head.

"I looked carefully. The guards only have their armor, and swords. It's weak leather too, so it'll be easy to get through when we decide to attack." Amadeus said as he pulled on the chains slightly. They were really irritating his ankles and wrists.

"The warden might have some officers with keys around here. I'm sure he wouldn't be the only one with them." Raulf pointed out. Amadeus remained silent for a moment as he watched a young ferret try to reach for it's meal. It was too far from the young ones paws, so Amadeus gripped a small stone in his paw and took aim at the bread. While sitting down, he quickly slid the rock against the ground and it hit the bread making it bounce a bit towards the young ferret. The ferret looked to Amadeus and smiled slightly taking it's meal which was now in reach.

"Wow. Only been a couple minutes, and already we've made this place more enjoyable." Raulf said with a gaze at the youngling enjoying his loaf.

[LadyAnette]

Sardy glanced at her half eaten bread and tossed it to a young hedgehog. The babe tore at it eagerly and ravished it down.
Sardy gazed on, seeing all the young babes and older ones. There had to atleast be two dozens of them.
"I pity them. I wish..." Then, Sardy noticed something on the ground.
"A piece of cheese! JUST what we need!"
She reached for the cheese as far as she could reach.

Lilac looked weirded out. "Um zir Amadeeuz, oi think she'm gone crazy again.
Moibye you'm should knowck her out again. Hurr."

Sardy looked at Lilac. "I know what I'm doing. Now Amadeus, please pass me the cheese,"
She said noticing that Amadeus was close to it. "Hurry now!"

[Baya]

Amadeus looked at Sardy like she was mad but he reached hard for the cheese regardless. He gripped it and threw it over in her direction.

"Look at that. She's gone mad already." Raulf said staring strangely at Sardy.

"Let's hope she isn't. I trust it's for something...important." Amadeus said looking for the right words. He then looked around the room once more. All these children would grow up slaves if they didn't do something about it. Perhaps this act of freedom would help Amadeus get over his anger for the king.

[LadyAnette]

Sardy gave Raulf a cold stare. "Just watch me," She said angrily.
Sardy took the cheese and started rubbing on her shakles that were on her paws.
After about 3 minutes she stopped. "There! That should do!"
She put down the cheese and started tearing at her shakles like a mad beast.
They gave a merciful clicking sound and she was free! Sardy looked smuggly at Raulf.
"Told ya!" Then she began on her bottom paws. Every now and then taking a glance at the gaurds.
Eventually she got those free. "Now it'll be SO much easier getting out!" She tore off two pieces
of the cheese and flung them to Amadeus and Raulf. "Now get yourselves free as quick as you can while I help out these young babes!
Amadeus, after you got yourself out, start knocking out those guards. Raulf, once you've got out, start helping me get these other free.
Now hurry!" She urged them as she started rubbing cheese on a baby mouse's shakles.

"How du you do that marm?" The babe asked in wonderment as she got one shakle loose.

"Gonff the mousetheif my friend. Once I've got you all out, I'll tell you the story of him." She said winking at the babe.

[Baya]

Amadeus stared at amazement at Sardy. "She surprises me everyday." Amadeus said with a small smile as he was handed a small chunk of cheese. He began to mimic Sardy's action and got his wrists free of the shackles. He then did his own ankles. Amadeus sighed in relief as he rubbed his wrists and ankles. "You really are a genius Sardy." Amadeus pointed out.

"For sure she is! Time to beat the guards senseless. I'd like that Warden's whip for that..." Raulf said with a dark chuckle.

"No Raulf. We have to be extremely subtle about this. The less noise we make, the easier it is for us to over throw the warden. We will have this camp in the palms of our paws by the morning. Trust me." Amadeus said with a grin. "Then the king will get a taste of his own medicine..." Amadeus said with a frown. Raulf tilted his head at Amadeus, but nodded.

"What's the plan then?" Raulf asked. Amadeus grinned.

"Wait till everyone is free. Then I'll explain." Amadeus murmured looking over to Sardy as she worked on the chain's of younglings.

[LadyAnette]

Sardy beckoned for Raulf to come to her. "Come Raulf.
Get your piece of cheese and help these young 'uns free! They're more scared then you are!"
She continued on bracking shakles free and rubbing cheese on chains. After 2 minutes she had
already gotton out 10 slaves. "Now be quiet lovelies. Don't want those big mean gaurds take away our bread
and cheese eh?
She whispered to the babies.
The babes whispered back to her softly.

"Oh no marm!"

[Baya]

"Alright. This is the plan." Amadeus whispered after many of the adults were freed as well. "We will act as though we are not free, and still chained up. We will just wrap the chains around our wrists. Whenever a guard enters this room we will ambush them and take whatever weapons and armor they have." Amadeus explained. "After we got a stable amount of weapons we can fight against the remaining guards, and take this camp." Amadeus said with a small grin.

"Sounds fun." Raulf said discarding the now rancid looking cheese onto the floor. "Leave the warden to me though. I'd like to rough him up a bit." Raulf said with a chuckle.

"Ok Sardy. Keep the young ones quiet during the ambushes alright?" Amadeus asked Sardy.

[LadyAnette]

"Will do sah! Righto sah! Will get to duties sah!" She said saluting and shuffling off to the babes.
"Alright young buckos! How 'bout the story about Martin and Gonff? The sneakiest mouse in the
whole worlds eh?" She asked them.
"Yeah!" They all said in unison.
"Alright so once in the woods of Mossflower there was an evil cat tyrant named Tsarminia...."

[Baya]

"One day they'll be telling stories of me." Raulf said with a grin. Amadeus chuckled.

"For what you are doing Raulf, I'm sure the king will hate hearing it so often." Amadeus said as he pat Raulf on the shoulder.

A few hours had passed, and everyone was busy pretending they were still in chains. The first guard came into the room to begin taking the creatures to work outside. He looked around at the terrified creatures, and grinned wide. "Maybe some back breaking labor will melt your silly fears." The rat grunted as he reached for Amadeus.

"Now..." Amadeus whispered. Many of the adults quickly jumped on top of the guard, knocking him out instantly. Amadeus took the guard's sword, and armor.

"One down. When another comes down to check why we aren't at work, we will take that one down too." Amadeus said with a grin. He looked to Sardy for a moment and made his way towards her. He pointed the sword at her by the handle. "I think you've earned the first blade." Amadeus said with a smile.

[LadyAnette]

Sardy stopped telling the story and gazed wonderly at the blade.
"I'm surprised that such vermin scum could ever carry such a beautiful sword!"
Sardy would regret she had ever said 'scum'! All the babies started whispering to each other.
"Dirty schum!" Hurr vurmin schum! Hurr aye!"
Sardy reprimined them. "Tut tut such bad language!"
All the babes pointed at her while looking at Amadeus. "She said it first!"
She tried to keep their attention on the story. "Uh.. so anyways, they were in the pit where the evil toads were!
Martin....
