Hope this gets there soon enough to help:
As my favorite Druid (also a Cleric, you know) can testify, an eloquent prayer
beseeching aid against the infidels who are attempting to overthrow or
undermine your god sometimes works. If the right kind of promises are made
(be careful, even if she IS a fanatic), most reasonable GM's will give a bonus
to any roll for your deity's attention (or that of one of her minions). In
fact, if your character's role is important to the game, it may be that your
GM has exactly such a thing in mind (it looks that way to me) -- the deity's
intervention will probably be something subtle like a brilliant idea popping
into your head, or one of your friends happening by at an unlikely moment, etc.
If all else fails, you will have to get angry and take matters into your own
hands. Your best bet is probably to rely on the mistaken assumption that
your captors may make -- that because the character is a female, she probably
isn't much of a threat. If you can keep tricks up your sleeves, and not let
them know exactly what you're capable of, etc., that is to your advantage. Of
course, being LG is a disadvantage in this case, but nobody asked her to lie --
just don't give any more info than is necessary.
Another suggestion: once you get loose (it's a good possibility), you should
head for your main church -- you know, your bosses nearby -- and tell them
about the plot. It's always fun to give the GM an excuse to cause a war or
revolution. Of course, you may end up being sent out on a quest or something,
but that's what the game's all about, right? Good luck, and keep us posted.
