Dying is a way out.
Go the Stewie and Brian route, and break into a huge broadway number to either confuse or draw them in, and while they’re singing sneak out
I see two possible ways out:
1. Since you’re so good at breaking the 4th wall, try to use the same skill to collapse the ceiling above the guards or the floor underneath them.
2. Woo can pull a literal “deus ex machina” and call on his goddess (whose name I refuse to learn) to save him and Sandy.
Quick start singing “Cuban Pete”!!!
You got a racoon, two ties, and two hats to work with.
You use the claws of the racoon as tools and remake the hats into images of some of the natives gods. You use the ties to fixate those masks in front of your faces. Now you start to speak in a low monotonous voice while the racoon is making scratching noises.
As the guards were watching you all the time, they will be totally confused as to what effect this was supposed to have. They start to argue among each other and value their various theories against each other.
You use that distraction to free yourself from the ropes by cutting them with the tip of one of those spears the guards left lying around when they started their discussion.
Now the plan really starts to become complicated. You have to be really carefull not to mess this up.
Sandy joins the conversation. Of course you don’t want to reveal your true motives for the stunt you just pulled, so you convince the guards that one of them was actually quite close to guessing your real goal (they couldn’t be further from the truth) by adding a few details here and there.
Convinced that they have seen through your plot the guards will start to settle down. That’s when you start to tell them that one of the other plans does sound like it could be actually more rewarding. This should keep them busy for a while.
In the meantime Qoo will be building a new shack and paints a sign advertising for the newest Apple product to be sold there. This whole tribe is totally captivated by Apple products. Every Apple product owner certainly is. Therefore it doesn’t really matter what product Qoo is advertising. So why not make it an Apple pear?
The tribe will start to gather in an attempt to get this new product. The guards will witness the commotion. They will want to see what is going on the outside. They’ll notice the crowd and the sign for the Apple pear and run to join the masses.
Now Qoo and Sandy can enter the wooden plane. Qoo will fly them into the sunset.
After a while the tribe will notice that there is no new Apple pear to gain. They will notice the missing plane and start giving chase. Just when Qoo notices that there is no fuel left and Sandy discovers that there are no life vests on board, only lead replicas of the leaders of the world.
… to be continued … (Maybe)
You need a powerful fire goddess to burn down their tribe! I recommend praying to the all mighty Larisa Korolev, who’s only weakness is a lack of insulin

Ditch the whole of @ Egomane‘s plan and just complain about all this wood and not a single fire to burn it (that’s how you pray to Larisa, by the way)
Just wake up!
Cover your faces with your hats. Then convince the guards that there’s no such thing as object permanence, so since you can’t see them they don’t exist.
Obviously, the guys with the ‘connections to the highest places of power’ could simply whisk them away to some other places. I hear the north pole would be worse than a savage tribe.
Do the Henry Stickmin Dance
Start encouraging readers to stop reading if you can’t find an easy way out. Novil will be forced to change the setting to not lose readers.
The obvious to me is “use your head, I mean your hat … and tie and trenchcoat. The second-most obvious is: Woo’s tail is not tied. Actually those two are kind of the same: wiggle hat off by moving ears, then throw it with your tail
It does bother me that this is the second time Woo has spoken in front of strangers and they don’t even blink. I’m going to call that the third-most obvious way out: have woo say something no raccoon should know
Seduction.
Guybrush Threepwood to the resuce. All he needs is a pot and a cannon, oh and cameo. Does anyone know a good pirate joke?
Considering you already broken the 4th wall both by reaching outside it and talking outside it, Just leave by walking out the 4th wall and then re-enter in a later comic where it’s safe.
Option A) Activate Expert Mode on Woo
Option B) Yuna accidentally made a portal. Cloud activates his special attack.
Option C) Activate Expert Mode on Sandra, and *then* use @ df82:

But considering that behind the 4th wall is the artist who created the mess she is in and put her in it, it might not be the best alternative. 🙂
Pull a “Among Us” and say one of them is quite sus.
Then escape while they do the meeting ;P
Better call Saul!
If you’re able to turn the mooncrest on their foreheads 180°, they fall asleep.
Omfg I second “Cuban Pete!”@ Duskillet:
Explain to them the sad story of cargo cult China sets to distract them and make them want to visit their children, again!
Maybe there’s a clue in #1219?
⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️🅱️🅰️🆗
How about you sneak out while the comments section shout their ideas at the guards?
@ Duskillet:
That should work. It would be a 100% success if you were wearing the divine Green Mask of Chaos used for rituals by an African tribe, said to be crafted by a foreign god from the land of ice and snow. The musical number would be a good distraction!
Qoo could break out the hair removal wax and splash it on everyone else. Then he can tear the wax off of the guards (and Sandy)and with his mouth and while everyone is in pain from hair loss and their clothes being shredded to near oblivion, Qoo grabs a spear to cut the ropes binding him and the now short haired and rag wearing Sandy. You then run away, while the guards are confused by their sudden nudity and painful body waxing, repeating the waxing on any other pursuers as you run like hell out of the village, picking up some of the natives’ spare clothes for a disguise (and to replace the torn to shreds clothes that Sandy is wearing after the wax is removed from them so she doesn’t have to continue on in her underwear or half naked) and a potion for hair growth so Sandy can regain her regular hair length. The nudity of the guards may only buy you a a brief moment as their level of bodily modesty is unknown.
eat woo, escape in confusion. Swim back to civilization, barf up Woo
Quickly retrieve arms from safe.
Woo could fake rabies?
There’s at least one useful item within reach! Take the rope. Yeah, the one binding your hands.
I recommend combining all current inventory objects into the Junkotron Missile Launcher.
Ask nicely?
Wake up.
Have Woo pray to the Raccoon God and have her get you out of this, or sell yourself to the Devil
Both have proven to be quite helpful
Woo pulls a large mallet out of his hat. It has a blade on the handle. It is marked “Big Honking Plot Device”. Mallet the guards, blade for their bonds. Voila!
This would be an amazing time for Larisa to appear with a flamethrower.
-Appeal to superstition. Throw your fedora up in a spin and whoever it strikes is the blessed of the evil one.
-If it’s a block of wood instead of a rooted stump, flip it over, and kick it into one of the guards. Swing Qoo by the tail at the other guards while they’re still shouting. Run for it.
-Remember that quicksand? Use your superior water tables knowledge and figure out if the ground is hard-packed or soft packed. Disguise your attempts to kick through the surface layer by jumping up and down in a childish girl tantrum until the pit opens underneath you . Use Woo’s climbing coach knowledge to climb to safety and escape.
-Use logic puzzles to distress, or cause conflict between the guards. Is the s or the c silent in scent? Who was in the right on the thing that happened? How long is a piece of string? Should you use the mile or the kilometer?
-Request to leave to go to the restroom. When this is denied, Sandy pees herself, and starts a chain of events to get herself a grass skirt. Weave grass shorts and a whip, and escape.
-Challenge the Chieftain’s Beautiful Daughter for the Right of Combat, or Right of Acquittal. (boys fight boys, girls fight girls) Being an uncontacted tribe, this combat may take a strange, tribal form. Anything from Candyland, to Untranslated Foreign Fizzbin, to mudwrestling.
-Pray to Gendo for an Impact. Perhaps you can get the airport bombed.
-Using a knockoff Pebble watch Sandra bought because she mistook it for a Dick Tracy halloween item might be noticed by an uncontacted tribe of WWII spy surveillance base, getting some sort of missile sent your way.
-Escaping by reed-bundle airplane is possible if the wheels work- secure yourself to the back of the plane for support and run backwards, moving the plane forwards. If you hit a river, you’re now a boat. Of course Sandy will be tied to the outside of the plane, in the water, where the crocodiles and piranha can get her. But she will have escaped the hut.
There is an app for that!
One of them should try saying “XYZZY” and “PLUGH”.
Climb out of the pannel and then proceed to walk to the end pannel.

Say three times:
“There’s no place like home!” and clap you shoes.
Have Sandra use the GPS function of her phone to determine her exact location. Then have her call the Pentagon. (There’s mobile phone coverage where she is, right? Otherwise the tribe’s iPhones would be useless.) Tell the Pentagon that she’s being held hostage by Al Qaeda and ISIS (both of them!) at a secret terrorist airfield and to send Seal Team Six to rescue her.
Hey Sanda ya just got to WAKE UP.
???:Hey you, you’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border? Walked right into that imperial ambush,like us and that thief over there.
Sandra:Fuck.
Perhaps Sandra could mention that she’s good friends with John Frum and that hurting or inconveniencing them would deny the islanders any cargo.
do some 4th wall breaking – the natives can look through it, but don’t seem to be able to actually exit it.
Gotta love the programming reference 🙂
Though this cargo cult is really going out of its way. Now I’d like an indication, whether it can actually lift off 🙂

Cheating might be appropriate in this situation, I guess
She still has a rubber monkey and a guacamole bowl. She could try to use the guacamole bowl on the guards, making they going off to cook a tasty meal. Then she could use the glass shards in the ill produced north korean rubber monkey to cut through the ropes. In the end, she could pray to cargo cult international, making higher powers draw a plane that she can fly to some other place.
