I'm with KNtoran here, we need to get the hostage clear as quickly as possible. Probably worth pointing out that Wolter has taken 20 damage, and Un'Rogaar has taken 13, so we'll want to deal with these 6 slaves as carefully as possible. It'd be a shame if we halfway killed our characters dealing with friendlies, and had to tip-toe around the actual attackers.
Not that I mean we should be gentle. I think a plan and the element of surprise are our best bets here. Oliron, any tricks up your sleeve that might come in handy?
Just want to make it clear the halflings were not from below, When Wolter examines the first one he will recognise him as the halfling that shares a room with the human male across the hall from the dwarf. When he examines the second he will notice he is identical to the first halfling.
They both have identical gruesum scaring upon their chest, simular to the half orc slaves.
They have 1 item on them of note, along with some thieves tools, fishing line, hooks, a small mirror, fluff and 2 silver pieces and 5 copper.
They both wear identical rings that were hard to notice and on very tight, it is thin and the color of skin with roman numeral type sybols etched along them.
You see the bottle that the smoke came from nearby on the floor with the stopper in.
The half orc at the stairs raises his hands, "were all coming up to negotiate, clear back"
Wolter will remove the fingers from their hands and not touch the rings at all. He will put the fingers on top of the wardrobe for now for safe keeping. After that he will emerge partway into the hall with bow drawn and ready aimed at who ever comes up with the half orc.
Inferatus I hope you liked the daggers because you may be seeing alot more of them, depending what you learn and wich way you go.
Just giving a liitle recap of the layout at the moment.
Feroz is just infront of the stairs that lead to the dining room,
there is a 5ft gap then UnRoggar, 5ft infront of him Wolter is in a doorway on the side. (the square diagonal to Unroggar)
15ft infront of unroggar is a half orc, behind him is the open hatch, then the other half orc then the human brute with the girl, then the bald tattooed guy and about 10ft from him is the other stairway. (they are probably noticably shuffeling towards the back stairway)
Let me know if anyone wants to change where they are?
Once this is cleaned up you have to think where you want to hide the crew while under attacked from the other ship, you will have a few people who can slightly aid you such as Vlad and the short bearded dwarf and maybe one or two of the working crew.
Testsubject1, can I call dibs on that lay-on-hands? Odds are that I'll use the 8hp soon enough.
Also, has there been any weapons ban during this hostage event, or will people be celebrating my armed status?
If you have a weapon they expect you to use it on the bad guys and will forgive you for breaking the ban. It's still raining arrows on the top deck.
Some one needs to reply to Vlad
by the way while you were blinking a god landed on the ship took those 2 rings Wolter found and replaced them a different normal looking pair and changed your memory....
Sorry my bad but yes forget the description of them I gave you they were normal silver looking rings but still had a pattern on them, of some sort of reptile.
So what's the plan with saving this hostage? This didn't quite go how I planned so I'm not sure how its gonna turn out now....

Wolter will have the lead half orc in his sights if he can get a clear shot at the person holding the hostage he will take it. HE will hope that causes enough of a commotion that the girl can get away enough for us to end this stand off.
