"Hold up," said Skyflower. "I'm not opposed to talking to them, but I'd like to do it with the prisoners safely out of the way first."
Beside her, Morrigan nodded. "If we could break them out, then deal with the gnolls..."
Jacques considered that. The True Elf Paladin and his sister Yvette were both nodding, and he could see their point. "So... try to set the prisoners free without the gnolls noticing?"
Skyflower nodded. "I say we hold up here, wait until dark, and then see if we can get them out without the gnolls noticing."
"I seem to recall being reminded that the gnolls can see in the dark," Julien observed quietly.
Skyflower nodded at that. "They can, but only so far out. If we can get to the prisoners without being seen, then we might be able to pull it off."
"And if we can't?" Jacques asked.
Skyflower shrugged. "Then we back out and try diplomacy."
"I think..." Ash, the paladin, looked thoughtful. "I think I prefer this approach."
"Does anybody oppose it?" asked Jacques.
Risk shrugged. "If we aren't fighting anyway, we might as well try this first."
