A simple shortcut leaves the party trapped in the dining hall.
With the alarm ringing through the fortress, the group makes a dash for the barracks. On their way, they’re nearly caught by guards rushing down the hallway past their hiding spot. The alarm eventually shuts off and the party continues on toward the barracks. When they arrive, Rou and Trix start to sift through the supplies for uniforms and equipment, while Eight follows Faerlin to the hallway to keep an eye on him. Trix does their best to assure Eight that Faerlin has not betrayed them, but Eight has their doubts.
Faerlin catches Eight watching him, and does their best to convince Eight that he has done nothing wrong. He asks Eight for cooperation before joining the others in rifling through the barracks. The party plans their next steps, deciding it might be best to head to the dungeon since that’s the likely location of the children. As they take a shortcut through the dining hall, they’re cut off from escape as gates drop to block the doors.
