The guards started searching the cells one by one, when it was our turn the searched his first, 3 went in while the other one stayed outside. looking carefully at the key they used to open his cell i made an improvised copy with the rat bones.

The guard got suspicious and shouted "hey! What are you doing in there?" The other guards looked at my way and using the tiny ice dagger i threw it at him.

The guards shocked tried to immediately rush towards me, but my ally knocked one of them out and took his sword. The guard i threw the dagger to tried to block his face but i aimed for his exposed neck, killing him.

Now armed he is fighting a 1v2 hurriedly realised that the improvised key method would only work if there was only one guard who doesnt know anything...

So throwing it at them i shouted " i need a key! This would take too long!" Knocking the guards back with a thrust he grabbed the key from the downed guard and threw it at me.

Hitting my cell bars bringing just barely out of hands reach... so i used my feet. I dragged the key to my side and immediately took the key and unlocked the cell.

My ally was still busy fighting the two, and he has obtained a few cuts and slices too. I picked up the sword from the guard i killed and immediately rushed towards the fight.

I could hear more guards enter the wing as i clashed with a guard who turned around and blocked my strike.

Immediately i knew he was attempting to buy time for the others to arrive, i attempted to strike from above but he blocked it.

Then i slid my blade off his making him stumble and i slid the sword in his stomache fatally wounding him. Then i immediately turned to the remaining guard who was busy and i easily killed him.

Taking an extra sword guards started crowding outside the cell, theres 10 of them now.

Before the fight i asked my ally "whats your name by the way?" While getting the gauntlets from the fallen guards he said "call me firestarter, thats my adventuring name."

Then picked up a sword, and threw it at the unsuspecting guards, one tried to deflect it but it only ended up hitting another guard.

Now there are only 9 left, a guard was brave enough to enter and i immediately rushed at him, he tried to do a thrust at me.

He was nervous, all i needed to do was parry it and use the pommel of my sword to knock him out. The rest were nervous, they might die here...

These people are not trained soldiers... they're militia... i might be able to talk my way out of this...

I relaxed my posture and pointed the sword at them. "Come inside if you wanna die next!"

Then the militia in the back got their bows and aimed at us... i just stared at them surprised... where did those come from...
