Oddly enough, it does fit. It is a rather small key though, and doesn't seem to catch any tumblers when you twist it around in the lock.

Freeze the water and make a key for the cell lock out of the ice.
>>
>>190361
If we do know the exact key pattern to open the lock, I second this.
>>
>>190369
We don't need to know the pattern. We can fashion a rough billet, put it into the lock then wiggle it until it wears down to the needed shape.
This is a real lockpicking technique (not using ice of course)

That's a wrong type of lock for that shape of the keyhole.

>>190361

The chances of that working without knowing the exact pattern are so low that it would be better worth our time to go back to the Dating Sim and let the meteor scoot closer while we retrieve a box of paperclips to bring back here to pick the lock.

Short answer: Kind of

Long answer: It was pretty bad. We don't have bug issues anymore in the quest, so that option seems kind of unlikely. And to be honest, I don't think Fabio is aware of his 2D nature.

I really love Paper Mario though, it wasn't intended as an insult. ;_;

You freeze the toilet water intending to carve lock picking tools or a key out of the ice.
You don't think the key will help carve a chunk out and you have no other tools available.
Your toilet is now frozen over.
>>
>>190870
Call a guard and complain about frozen toilet.

Also is Aria with us?
>>
>>190876
Yeah Aria is in the same cell
>>
>>190876
You know what, this may well confuse the guards. I'll second this.
>>
Clearly, what we have to do is to simply wait and a total stranger will come to our rescue, as it happens in RPG. Or pull the other RPG cliche where an officer offers us a deal in exchange for freedom, ya know, of those dreaded SIDEQUESTS
>>
>>190876
I really like this idea, but I think they already know we are a wizard of some sort.
>>190894
As cliché as this is, I feel like this isn't totally unreasonable, especially since the guards didn't even take the circumstantial evidence we provided as consideration.
>>
>>190926
... Fug. I think you might be right.

Still, we should call a guard over and try. That way, we can get confirmation on whether or not they realize we have magic.

You tell him that you are not the Ice Mage, he ice-capped through the frozen toilet.
You tell the guard what a cool guy you are.
You ask him if he'd like to chill
Although initially he acts cold, he warms up quick enough.

Suplex him and stick his head through the bars

Tell the guard you want to see that sexy face of his and ask him to push up his helmet visor.

If he pushes up the helmet visor, pull him close and make out with him.

What a sexy guard.

You tell him that he has just the kind of gravely voice that a handsome man aught to have.
You politely ask him to raise his visor to see if he's as good looking as he sounds.
As his visor moves up, you move in
Time to work that charm. You could never ask Aria to do this so you're going to have to take one for the team.
Roll to seduc-
He holds up his hand.
"I'm actually just trying to get into that toilet. I need the Ice Mage's help."

This sparks your curiosity.
You ask what he needs the Mage for and he tells you his tragic and somewhat cliché back story.
He once met and fell in love with a fair princess.
However, a Demon Prince also had his eyes on the same maiden.
On their wedding day, the Demon kidnapped her and locked her in a hell tower within his domain.
He believes that the ice mage may be able to help save his beloved.
>>
>>193339
>>193347
Tell him that if he can retrieve the equipment that the guards confiscated, the spell books in particular, we might be able to get the Ice Mage to come back to the cell.

no excuse for the super late updates, but I've been having connection issues with 4chan all day.
Op will allow the players to name the knight. Try to pick something that sounds heroic.

The knight introduces himself as Sir Hadrian Stonewall. He is on a mission to save his beloved and need the help of an Ice Wizard.
You properly introduce yourself as that Ice Wizard and ask him to bust you and Aria out.
He says you will either have time to grab the equipment that was taken from you (left) or you can chance finding better equipment in the more well guarded armory (right)
>>
>>195502
And I'm really sorry about that. Update speed will pick back up soon, I promise. Thanks for sticking with it during the "Relaxing Pace updates"[/spoiler}
>>
>>195612
Get better equipment!
>>
>>194745
Makes sense to me. How else would she sneak outta the castle to go do things her overprotective parents won't let her?

>>195612
Let's ask Aria. Some of that confiscated equipment may have sentimental value to her.
>>
>>195612
Let's just get our old stuff back. Didn't we have Reginald with us when they took our stuff?

I've also been reading the Jara quest stuff, and I don't trust the dice to give us good equipment anymore.
>>
>>195821
>Jara dice
>>
>>195821
Nah. We left Reginald in our nexus-room. We put him back on the table we took him off of in the first place.

He's in the safest place he could possibly be.

Our old equipment is also entry-level as fuck. We could do better rolling 3's on d20's to pull refuse outta the armory.

You decide that your ragtag team will probably need better equipment than the stuff that was taken from you and decide to head for the armory
Hadrian stops you at the last corner
Two guards are posted outside of a large wooden door.
"That's the Armory. How do you two want to approach this?"

Cast Ice Ray below the feet of one of them so that he falls and knocks out the other.

Couldn't we just wear Hadrian's Armor, waltz up to the pair with our visor down, High five them, and then cast frostbite to freeze them in place?

Then we just combine Table+Head+Head from our inventory and knock them out.
>>
>>196276
I roughly agree with this, since it does seem like the most realistic situation.

Thank you so much for the recommendation btw.

Changing my vote. This seems like it would have a better chance of working than the ice slick idea.

I'd put in my own vote, but my idea is to combine one of our spells with one of Aria's spells to kill the guards with an antipode blast.

We're not trying to kill them, just make them unconscious. Aria would probably get upset if we killed them

You walk around the corner and are instantly spotted by the guards. You wave to them and say hello.
Although suspicious, they make no move to apprehend you.
How do you handle the situation?
Frostbite costs 90 mana and you currently have 110MP

Ask the one on the left if he's ever heard of the famous model Fabio, because the warden has brought him in to sell a new line of bikini chainmail.
"I just saw it, shit was so cash. You guys should come with to check it out!"
"What's that? You can't leave your post? Ugh, fine. I'll watch it for you while you check it out. Just be quick, it's in the barracks..."

"Have we heard of Fabio?"
"Are you seriously asking us... if we know a male model?"
"Dude..."
"Of course we know Fabio!"
"I once got his autograph!"
"I have all of his collectable action figures."
You tell them that Fabio is showing the Female Guards his new line of Chainmail Bikini down in the barracks.
"Aww shit, today? Yo, could you maybe... could you watch our post for us? We can't leave it unattended."
You assure them that nothing will get in or out of the armory.
They leave and Hadrian gives you a thumbs up of approval.
Aria appreciates that you handled the situation logically and nonviolently.

On second thought, we need to consider how we'll be smuggling whatever we take out of the dungeon. So, I've got a plan:
We find a cart of some kind, place everything we take in it, then cover the top with tarp and buckets.
Then, we get Aria to set the Armory on fire, raise the alarm and, disguised as guards, escape the dungeon under the guise of fetching water to put out the inferno.

It'll be great.
>>
>>198031
This, but remember that we have inventories. I dunno if the guards can see into our inventories simply in passing, but that might be the case, and the fire in the armory will give them less reason to check what's in our pockets if they don't immediately see anything of concern about us as they run by.

We could also ask Hadrian if he's got any ideas for getting items out of here unnoticed. Surely he didn't go into this expecting a fucking magic user to have good enough stealth to get out of here alive?
>>
>>197633
Let's be reasonable (since that's what Aria likes) and only take stuff we use and some of the gold stored within.
