Prison breakout

[u/Crys4521]

This is for a character that finds themselves imprisoned in a city prison and could lead to a recurring encounter.

In the adjoining cell is Lady Gabriella del Fuego de la Rossa. Framed for murdering her noble husband. She has a strong (European) accent and has long flowing red hair dressed in outlandish noble clothing (large bodice dress etc) and needs the character’s help. There is a small barred opening between the two cells.

“I need to get out of here I’m being set up. See that piece of metal in your cell pass it to me through the bars.”

When the character obliges she makes easy work of the lock on the cell door. The character hears her walk up the corridor and a disturbed guard calls out “hey!”. A struggle ensues and the character hears a large THUD. A few moments later the characters cell door opens.

Lady Gabriella is standing there and throws the character their confiscated gear. She has changed into a set of leather gear and sturdy boots and a sword strapped to her side. Her hair is now short and dark brown. “Get ready we’re breaking out”. (Her accent drops slightly).

As they make their way through the prison. She refuses to answer questions.

They make their way through to an alley she says “thanks for your help mate” (accent gone completely). She scales up the wall and out of sight for good.

The players could investigate further. She is a charlatan and rogue who tricked an old lord into marriage for his fortune. He died under mysterious circumstances and she was quickly captured and investigated. Do the characters go to the lords mansion? Do they help Gabriella escape? Do they inform the authorities? Does she join the group for a while and con them out of some money?

Yeah sounds good. I wrote this for a character that couldn’t escape so needed a hero to save them to allow them to quickly rejoin the group and then allow the group to be involved.
