If you see something funky, ask because I might have missed deleting something.<br/>OOC Scene 5, Post 6<br/><br/>A culture note. There is no real distinction between 'Elf' and 'Half-Elf' in the' Elven Empire' on this world. If you have Elven blood, you are considered an Elf. So, Frore is regarded as an Elf. Darius would be viewed as an 'Elf' despite his Dhampir nature.' The others in the party would be considered 'retainers.'<br/><br/>NPC:<br/>Lieutenant Arilemna Glynjyre (female Elf)<br/>Captain Delsaran Keyris (Male Elf)<br/><br/>Shade -<br/>Darius - Persuasion - 25 to have the ship let go of the demon<br/>Kalinta -<br/>Frore -<br/>Eli - finds a cleric spell scroll...<br/><br/>Situation:<br/>Pre-combat, the party is next to the ship, and trees/sandbars restraining it<br/>Eli is flying, invisible, and below decks<br/>Lighting: Daylight<br/>Terrain:<br/>Water: River, Deep and moving about 10ft/round (Difficult Terrain)<br/>Part Boat: 5ft x 15ft<br/>River Boat: 15ft x 60ft<br/>Railing - the Riverboat has a wooden barrier to about waist height; it conceals what is on the deck and would provide half cover in a fight.<br/><br/>Froroe: AC11 (+5 Shield), HP 16/20,<br/>Elli: AC 14, HP 24/24,<br/>Shade AC 16, HP 27/27,<br/>Kalinta: AC15, HP 39/44,<br/>Darius:  AC17/19, 25/25;<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/018/874/492/large/tristan-alexander-elven-sailor-small.jpg?1561053969)</div>The Captain and the Lieutenant get into a heated discussion about Darius's proposed strategy,<br/><br/><strong>"We cannot abandon our mission."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Stranded like this, we are sitting ducks for the next Orcish attack. Let's cast the demon into the river. Ser Brightwood can guard the demon as it floats toward the city. Once the ship is free, we can go downriver to join it."</strong><br/><br/>The lieutenant sighed and looked from the Captain to the Demon, to Darius,<strong>"In truth, the Captain is right, the ship is a target right now, and I lack the troops to beat off a determined attack. I appreciate your bold offer."</strong>The Lieutenant looked down at the boat.<strong>"I'll not abandon my charge. Ser Darius, I'll accompany you downriver with the demon."</strong><br/><br/>The Captain looked to Darius,<strong>"You have but to say the word, Ser Brightwood, and I'll have the demon cast overboard and into your custody."</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Eli Only</div><div class="spoiler_body">Most of the stuff below decks is mundane - weapons, bits of armor, tools to repair the ship (e.g., carpentry).
