=No MAP this battle=

Special Conditions: Orc 2 - Asleep.

 You are all standing in what amounts to a hallway below deck. It is 30ft wide and Elsara, Runt and Gendan is in the front. Cerax is in the 2nd row. Deva and Val are in the 3rd row. The orc is standing 15 ft away from you.

Elsara, Runt and Deva's turn.

"Oops, second time's the charm." Elsara says quietly, trying to take out the other orc before it can raise an alarm. If it doesn't knock out the second orc, she nimble wanders forward with a scimitar drawn.

Sleep (2nd level): Affects 32 HP of orc.

With a 2nd casting of the spell, the orc goes down as well. Cerax compliments Elsara on her quick thinking, "Good job, making quick work of the enemy. A good spell caster is an asset to any team."

Everyone's turn.

Elsara grins happily. "Yeah, let's tie them up quickly whilst they're still asleep. It'll only last a minute." She tells the others.

Runt agrees to tie them up. She will make sure the ropes are tight.

Gendan will reluctantly provide the rope. "Why aren't we just killing them? That way they won't alert anyone when they wake."

We can remove their tongues. That would prevent them from calling out. Runt says seriously .

Devarus gives both woman disapproving dad looks before sighing and shaking his head. "Penalty of Piracy, Captain?" Once the good captain gave his answer, he says, "They do not know where here. If we can question at least one of them -- find out more about this location and there numbers while we have the chance, it should be taken while there's time. At the very least, we will have a clearer account than what one beleaguered ex-prisoner can give us." He expresses to the group. "But that said, we keep'em bound and set aside until the ship is fully clear."

"No, we don't need to kill them." Elsara hisses in a whisper. She pauses for a second. "They're still people, and they want to be brought in to be properly punished for their crimes, right?" She is reminded of the first time they killed first and didn't ask questions, as she looks to the scimitar on her hip.

Captain Cerax comments, "Right. If we killed them without due process, how would that make us any different from them?"

The hall is 10ft wide and goes along north. There are two sets of doors on either side, making for a total of 4 doors. The sound of the waves hangs heavy in the air.

What are you doing now? (After binding and gagging the orc pirates I mean.)

"We should check the next floor." Elsara points down, not perfectly knowing the correct terminology for decks on ships. "Also, don't pirates just steal, or are these murdery pirates, too?"

(Think the plan is to check floor-by-floor to take the ship fully.)

Runt holds her axe ready. Quietly she says Only kill in defense, Yes? Then we must stay quiet and take out the other guards quickly.

"You did great Elsara. Let's try to make it quick and silent " whisper Val " I can scout ahead if you want" 

( If the party agree Val will turn into a tiny mouse much like he did at the orc cave and will move silently and quicly looking for more guards and/or pirates )
