Swamped

Wait, why are we trying to escape again? Crook's been pretty nice. You've got to see something that maybe your dad's been up to. And even though you're separated from your bogknight buddies you'd still be within shouting distance. Escaping is just going to cause trouble for you and the people who, up to this point have been relatively nice to you. Not to mention the consequences it might have for Mary and the gang. And what do you expect to do? Sightsee the marshguard base some more until you're captured? Your dad is the freaking Rider (probably)! You are not going to stay in that cell very long. He's been trying to get a hold of your since you first got to this swamp. There isn't any need to cause a ruckus or bad blood between you and the marshguards, especially if its just to get a look around a base you'll probably get to see more of anyway.

Don't risk it with the crocodiles, as docile as they may seem, you only have one hand left.

Thank Crook and head back to the cells with him. Maybe later you can make some good fortune come his way.
