* This is the first goal for the PC party in the epic''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' 5th edition epic adventure ''Out of the Abyss''. Using the [[You All Meet in a Cell]] trope as the hook, the campaign starts with the low-Level PCs captured by drow slavers, at the mercy (or rather, lack thereof) of [[Starter Villain| Mistress Illvarta]], a cruel woman whom they do not have a prayer to overpower or defeat in a fight at their current level. The entire first chapter is devoted to the party figuring out a way to escape the small outpost (the slavers forcing them to do labor while waiting for their superiors to come pick them up, giving the heroes a means to scope the place out), and there are other NPC prisoners they can befriend, each with many variables regarding who to befriend or trust. (One might be friendly and want to help, but have limited ability to do so, while another might have valuable information, but is likely to double cross them). When they do escape, the second chapter is spent [[Don't Celebrate Just Yet| evading Illvarta and her henchmen who are intent on recapturing them]], more out of pride than any idea of profit.
