The sun had only just gone down in Harringate, the musty, dirty, piss ridden smell of the Harringate prison reeks through the air. In this room there are several seperate cells made out of steel. The bars are dirty and worn, and the gates are locked by key. In one particular cell we find a Goliath, a Half-Elf, a Tiefling, a Half-Orc, a Human, a Halfling, and a more grizzled looking Human who seems to smell like rotten sea air.
The entire group are dressed in dirty rags, either sitting, standing, or sleeping in the cell. There are two Half-Orc guards inside the room, one watching the door, the other pacing around the room every now and then. Everyone in this particular cell has been sentenced to hang by the neck until death the following morning. For whatever reason in these cells, magic does not work, perhaps it's the steel cells, perhaps there's another version.
The prisoners begin to look at each other, and take in their fellow doomed.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
[Note: This is where you guys first interact with each other. Don't double post, don't speak for other people, and if you want to do something simply say "I would like to..." as an example "I would like to bang on the cell to get the guards attention." etc]
HAVE FUN! LET'S GO!

Hello. My name is Michael of the Stormlands. What are you all in jail for? I got arrested just for visiting the castle. Is this normal?

I would like to just glare at "Michael of the Stormlands," and not say a damn thing

*lets out a sigh before speaking* The name is Jigoku of Decayed Lands. I got put here because apparently it's not ok to dig up bodies in this place for some reason. Speaking of which... (i would like to get the guards attention to ask a question)

The guard half heartedly looks at you, sneering through the bars.
"Wot?"

Nelly of the Angels cringes at Jigoku trying to discuss corpses with the guards. Already this plan is not going to plan. It looks likes standing in the shadows isn't going to work for this TOTALLY LEGITIMATE bard. He looks at the others and says quietly under his breath (now that he thinks about it it's probably good that Jigoku has the guards distracted).
"Hey guys, Nelly, totally legitimate musician on trumped-up charges, we can get to details later; but before anything goes awry, I have a plan. However, my plan requires that one of you bigger guys restrains the creepy guy before the guards get upset."

*looks around the cell at the bigger guys*
I think the bard speaks the truth. This fellow most definitely needs restraining. But a plan? What is this plan you speak of, bard?
The name is Cornelius for those wondering.

Cornelius, that is a great question!
*Nelly says with his finger extended, highlighting what a relief it is to hear some sense.*
However, I feel it's best for all of us if you don't know the plan- yet anyway. I feel like it could complicate things, whereas your confused stares will be far more invaluable to this exercise. But, to be short, I think I can talk my- our way out of here. Also, you seem sensible, you didn't kill anyone did you?

No, quite the opposite in fact. I was hunted down like a dog by the locals who seemed to be incensed by the appearance of my tribe. Perhaps it's because I'm not entirely human. Who knows.
Long story short they threw me in here accused of uses of magic...do I look like a magic user to you?!
Though I do agree...its somewhat refreshing to hear someone not speaking of digging up bodies. Who IS that fellow anyway?

I'm not sure, but he is reaaaally giving off a creepy vibe.
*Instinctively Nelly looks to both Jigoku and the brooding glaring guy who smells like fish*
Ok, ok. Good, alright. I was arrested for busking without a license, even though I was inside when it happens which is tota-
*He puts his hands up.*
It's not important, and the more we chatter the more suspicion it'll draw. So just nod or shake your head when I ask this: none of us have actually killed anyone, right? Right?

*Now done with trying to get out on his own Jigoku glares at his fellow cell mates*
"You mean to tell me working with the dead isn't common in these parts? I thought most worked with them. My apologies if i came of as creepy or evil, i know i may look like the devil, but i'm not at all evil. You see i was thrown out of my village and we all worked in the arts of Necromancy, i didn't think it was uncommon but i must have been deeply mistaken. I heard you talk about a way out, yes? *edited in* Fear not, i haven't killed anyone, despite what you may think and despite my expertise."

*grunts and glares at the half-orc guards and reaches for his belt, and then decides otherwise and just glares at the guards*
