"There are always harpies." Christaph commented.
A baggy coat covered the occupant of the other cell, concealing her figure, but not hints towards it. Dark brown feathers erupted from the short sleeves in place of arms. Loose pants sprawled out where she sat on the floor; opening to reveal talons not unlike those of the far less clothed Harpy.
She glanced up as the door was ripped free, her hair long and stringy, tied back and held down under a grey bandanna, tied over her head. The second bird-woman blinked curiously, staring at the now empty doorway for a moment.
"Oh wow-wee..." She commented, struggling to pick herself up from the floor. "You really just ripped that door off, ma'am? Just like that?"

"You let her out," the matriarch lamented, "I was hoping she would die."
"Where the hell are these harpies coming from?" Brok stammered.
"Are you blind? It starts with a 'C'," a third harpy stepped out from the cell with the second. She had bright green eyes, matching her similarly bright feathers, flecked with notes of black. Her body was wrapped in cloth in a manner reminiscent of an ethereal. She glanced at Cristoph, "You're naked?"
The first sighed, covered her face with her wing and grumbled, "...Thank you for releasing me, mortals..."
"Why the @#$% did we do this?" Kassanzi asked.

"Were... were the Sargeri starting a collection?" Christaph blinked, clearly confused.

"Ugh, for the love of Aviana, get me out of here," sighed a fourth with as much disdain as she could muster in a single breath, hanging upside-down in a neighbouring cell not unlike a bat or confused chicken. She was no matriarch as far as could be told, leaving the likeliest explanation for the luxury treatment the fact that she was covered in a lightweight yet expansive metal mesh shaped in the form of a dress. Unlike a dress however, it was no doubt stolen and it was utterly shameless, the spaces between the wide strips of metal managing to be everywhere they ought not to.
The harpy herself was a ghost-white, covered in black feathers that shone a glossy purple in the glow of the light and were marked by white edging. Either by a trick of gravity or an obscure ritual, which would have necessitated more reagents than to give its non-existent worth justification, those present on the winged humanoid's head appeared to have been arranged into an updo.

"Nope. Not %^&*in' doin' it. Nope. @#$%no," Kassanzi spat.
The matriarch rolled her neck and strode to the cell across, "You aid is no longer needed, dwarf." The earth rumbled, and a collumn shot up underneath the door, flattening it against the ceiling before receding back to the floor.
"This is stupid," Brok announced, "Can we stop with the harpies?"
"I am not to be collected!" The green one announced, pointing a wing critically at Cristoph. She glanced at the scrappy brown harpy, "I told you we'd get free."

The modestly dressed Harpy watched Serai, eyes widening. "Oh wow-za." He commented. "I guess you did." She informed her green counterpart.
Christaph shook his head. "Okay. Are there any more, or can we hurry up and get moving?"

"I'm surrounded by buffoons," Hatha complained, reaching up and seizing the chains wrapped around her lower legs. Flimsy and clumsy as they were, a sturdier set having been foregone in favour of a cell lined with thick bars, she made short work of them, the metal bubbling and disintegrating...
Which swiftly deposited the harpy onto the ground, head first and with a single, loud shriek.

The young matriarch quirked a brow at the freed prisoner, "Impressive." She turned to face Cristoph, "My name is Serai'Thandanas." She waited for the human to spout his name similarly.
"Why is she telling him her name?" The green harpy asked quizzically.

"Christaph Steelwall." The man bowed briefly. "A pleasure, miss 'Thandanas."
"It's, like, y'know... a thing you're supposed to do when you meet people." The brown harpy commented.

"Really?" The green harpy asked, "That's stupid."
Serai watched him, "You were captured as we were? No doubt the only path out is through the blue creatures."

Hatha
Shadowmoon Valley
Looking furious at not being helped to her feet, Hatha extracted herself from the ground. She was already beginning to rue having been rescued. Standing up tall, the harpy strode toward the group of intruders in a manner approaching that of a bird of prey, in reality searching vainly for a scrap of metal armour upon their bodies in which to ascertain the state of her hair - or, well, feather - arrangement, starting with Kassanzi. To them it was quite possible she appeared to be in search of food, a mate or a combination of the two however, based on the way she did not so much as acknowledge the dwarf she was inspecting as anything more than an object due investigation.

"They rely on trickery. Wont be a hard second round." Christaph commented.
The brown Harpy shrugged.

Kassanzi squinted suspiciously at the harpy, "Why the &*!@ did you $%^&ing let the #$%^ing harpies out? @#$%."
Brok rubbed his head, "so are we goi-"
Serai'thandanas straighed and puffed herself up, glancing between the harpies assembled before her, "I require your names as well."
Then green puffed up in response, then folded her eyes down, "Iliria'Ithirinalas."
"Brok," the blackrock spouted dumbly.

"Hatha'aalyias," the dark one answered curtly, leaning over Kassanzi in case the dwarf was hiding anything behind her back.

"Stowaway." The brown harpy nodded.

Kassanzi stopped mid profanity and glanced at the brown harpy.
Serai blinked and frowned disapprovingly at the brown harpy, "Your
name
."
"Uh, I think she just said it," Brok grumbled.

The Harpy nodded. "Yep. Named after how they all found my egg; stowed away on a boat. y'know?"
Christaph stared. "Right..."

Serai shook her head disapprovingly, "You poor degenerate creature."
"Holy #$%^ stop #$%^ing talking time to %^&*ing kill $%^&. If those !@#$ers hurt Djormulf I'm !@#$in' killin' em," Kassanzi cursed and stormed down the hall.

At Kassanzi's departure Hatha's attention snapped to Brok, the harpy approaching him in turn. "You. You shall be my retainer," she decreed, pointing a long, sharp black talon at the unfortunate orc.
