"Yeah," Derik agreed flatly, far less excited about the prospects. "Maybe if one of us pretended to get knocked out... it would make them lower their guard? Think there was ...

"So that's not gonna help us with the guards," Derik sighed. "Knocked me silly in under a minute. I was hoping..." He was silent for a moment. Things weren't in ...

Derik nodded. Three wouldn't be terribly difficult to overpower between the two of them. The bigger issue would be getting all the way out of the prison before other guards ...

Good? This didn't feel good. Derik let Kazimir drag him across the cell and throw him against the wall, watching in dreadful anticipation as Kazimir hit the wall instead of ...

"I'll help," Derik answered. At first, he kind of meant it as a joke but when he thought about it, it wasn't a terrible idea. Hell hath no fury like ...

"Something like that," Derik agreed. He couldn't remember what sort of political structure Nye had -- and doubted a random criminal he met was going to know about alternate realms ...
