With those works spoken, the lock did not open. It instead brimmed red with a flashing color! It was going to go off again, another alarm. The poor maiden inside stared in fright. "Oh no, you must leave now. I don't want you to get hurt, or worse. Please. Human, you must leave!" She gripped the bars tightly as the singed a red color!
The alarm hadn't gone off yet. The Maiden in the cage didn't seem to know the answer either. She looked around for aid from any of the others mythical beings. Yet none seemed to speak up, and others were asleep! The Maiden felt so bad for the human if they did not leave.
Then the sounds of footsteps came closer! It would seem some of the staff were on their way!
The Fire Dancer did not explain her next actions, but quickly grabbed the lock and began heating it up! "Hurry, hide." She said! She still held the lock tight in her hand. Even as it flashed, it was hard to tell as the metal turned red, but did not break or melt.
With the voices growing now, footsteps just around the corner. The staff was here! What what Jude do now, or where would they go?!

Jude swore quietly. "I'm sorry," he told the fire person.
Why couldn't he get any of these ridiculous riddles and puzzles right the first try? It really mattered! Now was not the time to berate himself. He had to hide. He was no good to anyone held prisoner. Hopefully held prisoner. He could not be certain these people would behave civilly and turn him over to the town constabulary. They might deal with him themselves and make up a story to cover it up later. He glanced around, quickly taking things into account. He couldn't hide under the empty cage or this one. They would surely check there. The barrels. He had to try for the barrels. He was a little closer now, and his leg still did not hurt. He did his best dash for the barrels, instinctively favoring his bad leg, still not yet registering why it felt different or just how different it was.
One barrel was empty save for a bit of straw likely used to pad whatever was being transported. He dove into the barrel and hastily yanked straw up and over his head, hunkering down as best as he could. It was a tight fit. He was grateful for possibly the first time in his life that he was not a larger, more muscular lad. He willed himself still and quiet, trying to listen over the sound of his pounding heart.

The maiden watched Jude leave to hide in a barrel. Just in time too! She looked over, spotting the two patrol guards. They were alerted to the lock going off. And they were covered in robes with wands on their hips. One had a sword to their belt.
When the guards stopped by the maidens cage. They saw that the lock was hot. A bright glinting red color, yet not melted or broken.
The one guard without the sword looked around. He stared over the various items. Boxes, barrels, other cages.
While the guard with the sword sneered. His voice rough and dark. "At it again dancer. Quit trying. If we have to come out here again, I'll make sure to bring a bucket of water with us. Maybe then you'll learn to stop your fooling about. You know the lock wont melt or break.
And I'm tired of dealing with you." He crossed his arms. Voice tired from her attempts to escape. Clearly this hasn't been the first time either.
While the guard with the wand spotted a dark cage, and what looked like nothing inside it! He tilted his head, his hood shifting slightly. He began walking towards the cage. The door looked ajar! Suddenly he reached over to their companion. "The Stag, he is gone!"
With a swift turn, the other guard let out a shocked gasp! He then face the fire dancer! "Where is the Stag Maiden?!"
However she did not say. She glared back. "Far from here, you'll never catch him now."
This only made the guard more angry! "Damned, you'll pay for those words, but later." With a strong hand he grabbed the other guard, "gather the others, that Stag couldn't have gone far. We'll catch him yet!" And the two hurried off to alert the others of the Pale Stags escape!
Now that it was quiet for a moment. The Maiden looked to the barrel. She feared that things would get tightly guarded now. She waited a bit more before calling out to the lad. "Hey, you have to go. This place will be crawling with guards and mages. You must leave!"
The guards were now up and about. Hurrying with swords and wands. Many rushed on horses and headed for the forest to go after Nocthirn! While a few scouted around. Aware that something was up!
Now that grounds was covered in a few guards holding torches and checking cage locks, along with any other escaped entertainments. The night became slightly more dangerous. However there was also plenty of items to hide behind, and inside or under to escape such a situation. But these guards were listening and looking carefully.
The fire maiden looked at the lock now. Seeing the red glow fade away and the lock was not in an alarm state anymore. She sighed staring at the glinting red stone.
Jude had a few options now. They could escape, but the grounds were dangerous now. They could try the lock again, but guards would likely come quicker this time, and may even see them attempting to open it. A few of the caged entities were up too. Aware of the chaos. One such Entity was bird like being, covered in dark feathers with a chain leading from the inside of their hooded form.
Another was a man of stone. He sat against the back of his cage which was much bigger and the bars were thicker.
The last entity nearby seemed like a snail type. Having a massive shell, but more human like quality, with legs, arms and even a mustache. They were sitting calmly. Watching the chaos unfold now that they were awake.
Anyone of them could be questioned for the lock, or the best way out. The options were endless.
