I wasn't sure how the party was going to get out of their cell but the master thief Paul showed up to return the favor from the mine. The Coliseum provided an adequate challenge with a few new enemies. Firion had to deal with the status ailment of toad which I had no way of countering. So Firion had hop around as a tiny red toad for the remainder of the dungeon. I was afraid I would have had to stay that way until I got to a town but as soon as the party made it to Hilda’s cell the effects wore off. Once again Gordon left the group to escort his sister out of Coliseum. After that it was pretty easy getting out.
Back in Altair one rebel remained to fill the group in on the plans for recapturing Fynn. I'm actually a bit worried because it seemed too easy to escape with the princess again. I feel like the party is walking into another trap. If the Empire was so successful in conquering Fynn and getting the Dreadnought built they should be able to handle 3 upstarts.
