Spoiler: Words from the GM (click to show/hide)

Sorry for the wait.  I've darkened the status colours a bit, let me know how it looks.

These are better. My eyes thank you!

[Ozarck]

Our magicka is nearly exhausted. Do we even have enough to raise one of these beautiful corpses?
The guards went out the only exit. I vote for sneakily search the area (perhaps including the branches of the dungeon we haven't checked yet?) and corpses for potions / weapons suitable for us. Then sneakily follow the guards at a distance.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Raise the orc. No one bests an orc in close combat.

[Child of Armok]

But......CAT

[Remalle]

You all seem to be forgetting that we have nearly no magic left, not nearly enough to use Raise Zombie.

[Ozarck]

I didn't forget see!

Our magicka is nearly exhausted. Do we even have enough to raise one of these beautiful corpses?

[Remalle]

Free the next row of prisoners!

Wait till they've gone to do any of this, but +1

Is our Raise spell Dead Thrall style or temporary? Either way, wait a little while for the Thalmor to leave before raising the orc. Hence +1 to the above.

You head back, over to the second cell block.  There are fewer prisoners here, mostly nords, and they look a lot more spirited than the ones on your block.  You pull the lever at the end of the hall, releasing them all, and immediately a fistfight breaks out between the prisoners on each side of the block.  After a minute six prisoners lie bloodied and beaten on the floor, and as two of the victorious party tend to their unconscious friends a nord bearing himself like a soldier addresses you.
"Hold there.  Wha-... who are you?  What is your business here?"

"Why, is it not obvious? I am the newly appointed Thallmor Warden, and freeing you prisoners is my job." - be sure to add very thick irony to this one.

"Do you have more of those unproductive questions, or are you guys getting out of here with me? Most of the Wardens have been tricked into searching outside - Now or never, Nord."

Attempt nordic negotiation. Try to get them as your new meatshields temporary companions in this clever scheme of yours.

+1. Inquire about a hat.

[Harbingerjm]

Attempt nordic negotiation.

I'm fairly sure we have neither the voice nor the biceps for that.
Or the booze, for that matter.

[Mrnocamera]

Or the booze, for that matter.

Where did all the rum ale go?

+1.  Inquire about a hat.

[14]-[2] The nord looks confused for a second, then slightly less hostile, though still wary.
"You did free us... well, alright, we'll join you until we get out of this damned fortress.  Ereld, Harik, fall in.  I'm Commander Torben Thawbreaker, Solitude Stormcloaks.  And no, nobody here has a hat."
The Stormcloak prisoners stuff the unconscious Imperials back in their cells.  Ereld and Harik each sling one of their beaten fellows over their shoulders and you lead your new followers back to the door where the exit is supposed to be.  The group cautiously makes their way down the next corridor, which is mercifully straight and empty, for a minute or so before reaching a large wooden door, past which Torben thinks he hears voices.

Speech level increased to Novice.

Sorry for the wait.  I got ensnared by Civilization IV.  Stupid Isabella wrecks my shit every single time.

Arm any meatshields new friends with the weapons from any guards we have already downed. If any of our companions has skill in bow, give him that. Attempt to determine how many are in the next room. Prepare for the charge.

[Ozarck]

It's been a week. I thought I'd bump this, and see what wiggles. Probably Jubba's corpulant torso.

[Harbingerjm]

Hopefully not Jubba's torsulent corpse.
