What is that facial expression, can he put it together via context clues. He speaks as quietly as possible. "He could be either. --except only one spider."

"We'll be taking all the prisoners," he announces.

Are the cells locked?

The cells are locked.

A goblin guard walks up. "Who sent you?"

"I'm a True Soul. Who are you to question me?"

The tadpole squirms. It would be so easy to force him to hand it over--

"So is Minthara, and if she can't find her prisoner, it's going to be on my head."

Oh, well, he tried the peaceful solution. 

He kills the goblin and tries to make it dramatic enough that the kids will flee. "Someone get the cells-- Gale, Astarion--?"

Astarion can pick locks!

The spiders are scrabbling hungrily in the direction of the dead goblin.

Astarion chooses to assume the bear is the druid they're looking for.

And the bear quickly collapses into the shape of a tall, broad elf-- the sort parents would tell their children "if you eat your vegetables, you'll grow up big and strong like that."

"My thanks."

"Are the spiders people?"

"Those are Minthara's pets. They're not more person-like than the average spider."

"Cool. That makes escaping much easier. Let's get out of here."

"Do you have any plans after that?"

"Well, ideally we'd like for you to remove the mind flayer tadpoles from our faces."

"I can try-- but I've heard talk from my captors that they are planning to march on the Grove. As the High Druid, I must place that duty first." He would much rather first be a healer. And he would also much rather first be asleep.

"Right, yes, we're also all for saving the Grove. Let's get out of here."

"Lead the way, then."

He heads out. Anything interesting happen?

The goblins are still pretty busy either partying or working. There's definitely some Questions about why, exactly, is the High Druid out and walking about, but claiming that they are True Souls and Minthara sent them gets them all the way to the gates. 

How straightforward!

Something horrible is definitely going to happen.

It's the guards at the gates who are the problem.

They're spotted almost immediately, sneaking away with the prized prisoner.

There's a lot cross bows pointed at them very quickly.

Oh, he hates ranged fighting. 

He checks what Wyll is doing to see if he should charge or hang back to defend the rescuees.

Wyll used to be able to eldritch blast people several feet backwards.

He wishes he could still do that now.

He fires at the goblins on the wall, and takes out one. 

Cool, Wyll seems to have that handled. Cayden charges to the wall and climbs it. 

One day, word of Cayden's climbing skill will spread.

Right now he's taking people by surprise.
