As he hears the splintering and shrieking of wood and metal rending, Stiles overbalances his chair and falls. His shoulder and elbow take the brunt of the impact, but nothing breaks, and he's out of the immediate line of their ambush, he thinks. Strangely, now that he's heard Derek's voice, it's a lot easier to breathe. He can think, and he can breathe, and he can plan. Not that he can do much to execute at this point. His bonds are still tight, despite the fall, and whatever harebrained idea he might've had when he took that arrow from Alison vanished along with that makeshift weapon. All he's got left is what he started the night with: a big mouth, and a dumbass plan.
"You might wanna consider his offer, furbrains," Stiles chimes in, aiming for distraction as the better part of valor. He can see one of the two of of the corner of his eye as he turns his head, trying to gauge reaction. "Seriously, you think kidnapping is something you can get away with? You've got one pissed-off pack and an entire family of hunters in this town. And even if you're smart enough to take that offer, which I seriously doubt, you've got nowhere left to go." Yeah, maybe it sounds like he's trying to convince them to off their only hostage, but it's only a little that, really. Because it's working. One of them turns and snarls, moving to shut Stiles up, and as he screws his eyes closed and braces himself for the coming blow, he sincerely hopes Derek takes the opportunity he just gave him.
