I assume the prisoners are bound with masterwork mancales and the cells have AMFs because it is rather high security. The DM is doing this to railroad us into a stupid chariot race. Is there any way I can get out of this? my party paladin/artificer gestalt(me), wu jen/rogue gestalt, fighter/? gestalt, ranger/? gestalt, sorcerer/artificer gestalt. we are all level 5 and all of us are good excpet the sorcerer. :weep:

Spell Nondetection, (3rd level wiz) will shield 1 person. Spell Undetectable alignment- bard 1, cleric 2: 1 person for 24 hours. The artificer could fake something like that up, I suspect.
