The nocker is still at work, gathering strips of material , adding the buttons...

Dear lord, is he ripping open a condom packet?

"Can probably yeet the kids first, sure. Don't meet her eyes. Disable the redcap early, too."

"Furk yes." He has enchanted materail, causing it to grow and stretch out osmehow, and he has...

"Three balloon lifter bands. Probably enough to lift a full grown adult AND one kid if you like at the same time"

"But you have to get them to the edge of the trod and push em in then they'll go up natural like"

"Sluagh'll weigh as little as a kid."

"Sorry, Sy."

"He does look kind of sicky" A brow lift "You got an intestinal parasite as a pet there, Scamper?"

"You want one?"

"Furk no" A disgusted look "Just figured I might be able to clear you out with a piston device if you want"

"Think we should leave the rope hanging down at least partway?"

"Probably a good back up, hopefully no none of the naars will noose themselves"

"Hopefully not, no."

Symon looks hopeful. Of what? Better not to guess.

"So, we try fast and sneaky?"

"I guess so, good luck down there, Hauls. You're a big target"

Clearly the nocker is planning on staying up here "Fashion those on to folks who need it"

Symon is ready to take point.

Otho starts to finagle with the rope to sturdy it

"Sy, take them? I'm better as a distraction, they might not notice you..."

Symon frowns a bit, but takes them and nods.

"Hey ,Hauls, don't be stupid and start out distracting. Try to hide too and if they catch you THEN you got their attention" A grumble "Trolls, you jarheads are too noble for your own good"

A sentiment Symon MIGHT agree with, or might not

Symon winces a bit at agreeing with the loud nocker, but nods none the less.

She nods. "And we have three potential allies."

"We get them to each take one of the brainwashed and yeet..."

"Yeah, you won't have trouble talking pudge into helping, stoopd Pisher"

He looks worried for PUdge despite his insults

"I'll get him safe."

"Well not that I CARE but that's nice of you, Hauls" A nod "Okay. Good luck you too. Want me to hold onto that air plane in case you both get caught?"

"If we're not out by... nightfall?" She looks at Symon.

He nods, and hands it over.

The nocker takes it, and puts it in a safe place "Deity of your pick speed be with ya"

She affixes the rope to a steady anchor point - no need to LEAP down.

Looks like the nocker already has it knotted and ready

"It'll hold... my drunken cobra double knot has rarely failed"

Both parts of that true!

Though the word 'rarely' might raise an eyebrow

A grunt. She starts down first - she can be under Symon to catch him, if need be. Trolls.

Or, worst case, she won't take OUT Symon if she falls.
