So, yeah, there's our options. Sawing through the arm would be the idea with the most likely odds of success, but the most damaging and painful, while sawing through the chain would have less likely chances of success, but be less painful overall. We (think we) only have one shot at this.

I vote for trying to secure the chain as mentioned, and saw through it carefully. At worst, at least we already seem to be anesthetized.

Sect · « **Reply #276 on:** May 28, 2011, 02:32:40 AM »

I'm pretty uncertain about our chances of that, but I don't mind giving it a go. If all else fails, we can try chewing through our arm... as disturbing a thought as that is.

DracoOmega · « **Reply #277 on:** May 28, 2011, 02:37:31 AM »

Well, we were told that it looked like we could probably make it through the chains that way, if we moved slowly. And that it seemed easier to cut through than our arm anyway, not even counting the worse consequences of succeeding at that.

Most definitely attack the chain first.

DracoOmega · « **Reply #279 on:** May 28, 2011, 03:57:31 AM »

Well, since no one seems to really object...

>Straighten the chain out, search for a suitable point on it (if any of them seem potentially weaker than any other), then set it on the ground, and pin the target section firmly between our feet while leaving enough room to maneuver properly. Then take the saw and carefully saw through the chain.

>You head towards the wall again, in order to give yourself enough chain.

>This takes a while to set up properly, as you cannot really feel if you are pressing down on the chain hard enough.
>Once you feel that the chain is in place, you begin to saw.
>You take care not the break the saw as you cut through the chain.
>After what seems like an eternity of sawing, you cut your way through one of the links on the chain.
