Meeting the former prisoners

As you go down to the cells, you hear the exclamation of joy coming from the prisoners. As you near them, they first look at you with suspicion then glee as they notice that you don't wear guards uniform. Several of the prisoners also recognized Eleanor and come shake her hand and thank the both of you for setting them free.

Eleanor extracts herself from her well wishers and steps on a chair, elevating over the crowd.

"Alright listen up everyone. The rebellion is currently engaging Solvene's forces outside the castle. Which means most of her troops are outside at the moment. This is the perfect time to strike them from within as they don't expect us to already be in the walls. So grab what you can from the guards and find an armory. Once there, go to the main doors and get them open, that will be the signal our forces are waiting to invade the castle. Reynolds, Marjorie, William the three of you are in charge of this attack while John and I infiltrate further in."

You see the three people Eleanor mentioned, a dark-skinned guy with massive muscles and a bald head, a cute redhead with a mischievous smile and a lanky blonde hair guy nod at Eleanor's commands. Before the crowd gets moving, Reynolds, the muscly guy comes and speak to you.

"Eleanor, girlie." He nods at the two of you with respect "Thank you for getting us out of here. I assume Michael sent you here to free us so that we don't get used as hostages." You're surprised that he seemed to know the plan. He chuckles as he sees your surprised look. "Lass, I've know Michael for a long time now so I know how he thinks. Tell me if I'm wrong but you're actually aiming for Solvene herself right?" You see Eleanor nods seriously "She needs to be taken out now, before her new toys get validated and used on everyone."

Reynolds continues "I managed to listen to a lot of things around here, perks of having a cell near the guards break room. Her throne room is on the 3rd floor. We are currently in an underground floor, the main floor is where most of the guards stay, as well as the kitchens and other rooms like that. The two floors above are the floors Solvene keeps for her lieutenants. From what the guards said, it's impossible to reach Solvene's room without crossing them entirely as the stairs leading from floor to floor aren't connected to each other but on the other end of each floor. If you freed us, it means you took care of Tara. But there are two others in here before you can reach Solvene. I don't know their names, only their nicknames: The Gambler on the 1st floor and the Fighter on the 2nd. Unfortunately that's all I know."

"That's already a lot, thank you Reynolds." You thank him gratefully.

"Yes, thanks big guy. Now go and make sure Marjorie doesn't bring the castle down on us. Be careful out there, I don't want to break your ass out of jail again." Says Eleanor with a smile.

Reynolds laughs in answer and walks towards the exit, raising his arm in farewell as several other prisoners follow him.

"So, a gambler and a fighter then?" Muses Eleanor

"No matter who they are, we need to take them down to reach Solvene, so let's get to it." You smile to Eleanor with a sharp smile, baring your teeth slowly. Eleanor nods back at you and the two of you exits the prison, climbing up the stairs with the rest of the now free prisoners.
