With Lili around, simply letting the ruffian go was not in the cards. It was a lesser prize than she would have liked since the leader was really the one she was interested in. However, it would not do to simply leave these remaining ruffians alone either. Sure, they would recover in time from the battle, but Lili wanted to refine their ways so as to not stray down the Evil path.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Diplomacy</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2016-03-30 00:36:32, freeko (uid: 58710) rolls: 1d20a8 Result: 28 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=87113)</div></div><br/>Having gotten the one ruffian to concede the fight, Lili would make every effort to assure him that he was no longer in danger. She wanted to know where their leader was going, and would try as best she could to send the riff raff off on a better path. The speech was simple and would revolve around making better life choices like making an honest living. Were Lili able to reform these miscreants and set them on the path toward redemption for their misguided ways, that would be good enough for her. Lili sensed no evil intention from these ruffians and only their leader, so she felt that redemption was the best course of action.<br/><br/>Were Lili to see these highwaymen again, her mercy would not extend toward a second meeting. If it needed to be done, Lili would not hesitate that their leader had essentially left them for dead as the one who was still standing could see him run off. Turning them toward the light and getting the information they may need to track down the leader should not take much convincing once the obvious were stated about their present situation. Lili would even consider allowing these men to travel with the group to where ever their next destination was. There they would be released on their own accord on the good faith basis that they would not waste this second chance given to them. If need be, Lili would use the manacles she kept on her waist.<br/><br/>The only real decision that was left to make was if it were worth it to attempt pursuing their leader. Did he have any value to the group or was it simply a pointless diversion?<br/><br/>"Do we want to chase him down?, If we know where he is going.." Maybe it was wishful thinking that the ruffians would give up their hideout, but Lili was generally fairly good at making people see the light.<br/><br/>(If it was too presumptious to go that far on a single diplomacy roll, let me know. The main purpose of the roll was to set the highway men that remained on to the right path. Learning about where their leader would go after leaving them for dead is the bonus gift hopefully obtained with such a high roll on the check. Of course this also assumes that no one objects to Lili handing the ruffians in the manner that she is wanting to deal with them as well.)
