#anywhere

He bundles the other troll out of the way and glances around. Does there appear to be a place that would house/hold utilities, like the gas and/or electric, or are those junction boxes outside?

A janitor's closet can be found.

Frank looks for the gas junction.

He finds it

Frank opens it up, allowing the gas to leak.

sssssss

Frank leaves the door open and sneaks back to the door the guard was ... guarding.

"Sold" It would appear Nita has been sold while he was dealing with this. he moves up the steps and he sees about 8 human beings. All enchanted, staring through a one way mirror. Some of them gaze at the sidhe with worshipful shock. All seem..dazed... spells upon them. There's a scent of odd spice in this room. Through the one way mirror, Frank can see the FULL crowd, and the back of the head of the satyr, yes, it's a satyr, selling them. He waves a polished cane about and motions "our next option is a set of twin boys, adorable pages for your holdings, or possible agents for your training. Eight years of age. They will be easily bent, broken, or raised as you determine. Think not of what they are, but what they could be."

Frank grits his teeth and backs away, thinking.

Frank re-enters the room and moves quietly to an exterior wall or window.

A shady looking sluagh woman with hag like features walks along with another, the two whisper but he can make out "the boss is on a roll tonight. The spriggan will spend everything for those two" "guess he learned the value of unloading the merchandise rather than keeping it around..." "Careful, he's ..damaged, but Tantaulus is still a power."

OOC are these women in the room with Frank?

OOC yup. And that's dangerous, some sluagh can see through chicanery so the rumors say

Frank traces a finger on the table nearby, drawing words as he bunks for a Fugue cantrip; let the sluagh forget what they're doing here....

"Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Another day is dawning" etched with his finger.

"was I..." 'umm. what are we doing?" "don't you know?" "Well, I know. I was just testing you." "Oh me too..." They look uncomforrtable and leave

Frank waits, then shuts the door behind them... and readdresses that exterior wall or window.

He whispers “Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.” and taps a small hole in the surface of the wall-or-window with the tire tapper, opening a portal passage.

ironically, not only does it open, it looks a bit like it's made from the same glass and brass as Vali's Egress

Frank goes to the closest mortal and gently directs them to the portal. "Go, get out. Time to leave. You're in danger here, you need to go now. Go, and run."

Suggestable, confused, but... that works in his (And their) favor as they obey with little hesitation. though it does sink into frnak that he's missing Nita, who has been sold, and two twin kids who are BEING sold.

Frank clears the room and follows, ensuring that the majority of the captives are well on the way down the road. He describes the rig and invites them to wait for him there, to run if they see anyone they don't know.

Well, three lost isn't bad. they nod, process and obey. His duty done, he can take the majority and leave now.
