A wide-eyed glance toward the edge of the deck causes a pit to form in Lilliana's stomach and she nods at Aiden's offer, but then upon seeing Liana's grievous injuries she swallows back her fears and moves up to the woman's other side. "I will help as well, I'm not injured. Just... let's not go near the edge..." There is a hint of shakiness in her voice as she says that, but her strength makes escorting Liana down the steps that much easier.

"Thank you," Liana nods her head from Aidan to Lilliana, "both of you are quite lovely! I promise not to be too much of a pain down these steps - oof!" She can't help but wince as they walk downwards. She would have hoped gravity to help, but shifting her weight around was painful even with help. "I can see as well as I ever can." Liana mused after a sharp intake of breath. It would seem to anyone that she was making some sort of joke. Probably about the fact she wears a mask. 

"So... You've heard of me?" Liana asks almost sheepishly in Aidan's direction. She bobbed her head up and down as she spoke. Whoever it was under the mask, they were probably the overly animated type!

"Your name gets a fair bit of mention in the right circles. Particularly among those dissatisfied with the rulership of the Cities."

Nate will climb up to the crow’s nest and take in the skies while he waits to disembark.

(could be a short rest?)

"Interesting... and would you run in those particular circles?" the voice sounded teasing and light, but beneath the tone laid a serious question.

"I doubt we would have crossed paths today if I didn't, Miss Red. Though I must say I was surprised to see you among the prisoners."

His pattern of speech and tone come across as one who tries to keep things professional.

"The name's Aidan, by the way."

Nate will scan the skies around the ship in case that Aarakocra is still around.

Perception 15

"Aidan, Aidan," Liana repeats his name as though she were committing it to memory. There is a smile in her voice as she continues, "Interesting to have someone call me Miss Red, I quite like it." She sighs at the thought of her capture, "- one of the few times I've been caught with my hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. They have me aboard for murdering a noble of Aerovail... truth be told, I'm having a hard time believing my sentence will be commuted like you all... well, assuming you didn't go sticking a point into a slaver."

Lilliana had remained quiet during the exchange between Aidan and Liana, although when the masked woman mentions murdering a noble, Lilliana suddenly stiffens a bit, but she quickly recovers and continues to let Liana lean much of her weight on her.

"No, they can't pin any death to my name, but they don't take kindly to those who arm and supply anyone trying to get away from city authority. I was part of a crew running weapons to a few surface communities. Which is apparently illegal."

Aidan looks over to Lilli and continues,

"We're almost below deck. Just a few more feet and falling won't be a concern, alright?"

"Stars, I hope not," Liana shook her head. "And what about you, my dear? I hope I am not too heavy for you to carry. I'm sorry you are caught up in all this. What are you here for? I assume not giving a bratty noble the time of day, hahaha -ahhh!"

(Lilliana, rolling for?)

The Vice captain leads you to a room with people of the cloth going about, tending to patients and giving last rites to the fallen guards. The vice captain stops one of the clerics and tells them of the situation. Although hesitant at first the cleric heads to your group and ushers you all to join them near a few empty beds. She excuses herself to go fetch a few bandages and some potions. The beds are located in a corner of the room and has sheets going between them to provide patients privacy. While not many of the patients are fatal, there are quite many dead guards and even more as other guards keep bringing in more corpses.The vice captain is addressing some guards as they're managing the bodies.

Aidan helps Lilli get Liana to the bed nearest where the cleric exited. He then excuses himself to give the two women the privacy they need to tend to Liana's wounds, and sits down on the edge of the next bed to wait his turn.

@Aidan

Oh, sorry. That was a Deception roll to see how well she played off the shock of being reminded of her own crimes.

Lilliana joins the others, still reminded of the minor cut on her shoulder from the barrage of arrows much earlier in the fray. "You are not at all too heavy, Liana." Lilliana has a strength of 14! "There is no need to apologize, none of this was of your making. I am here, because well... because of poor decisions, to be frank. Someone convinced me of a terrible idea once and I thought they were right. Perhaps to an extent they were, but I got caught trying to steal something that didn't not belong to me. A lot of gold that I had hoped to use to buy myself a new life far away from trouble."

Deception - 26

They say the best lies are mired in truth!

(Taking a short rest up in the crow’s nest)

”Man, I may be stuck on a military ship, but it sure does feel good to be out on the air again.”

(Holy, you have a +6 in deception? God dang.)

Liana, you believe every word Lilliana says. She's just another poor soul looking for a new life away from her troubles. Not too different from the souls you used to save and protect back in the slums.

For the DM:

Haha, yeah, Laurine rolled stupid high for stats. I think the lowest I had was a 13. So obviously 18 Charisma baby!

Gaèl just watches as everyone around him attends to their buisiness. At one point, he just leans back against a wall, crosses his arms in front of his chests and closes his eyes for a little while. He's learned not to take chance while being tired, so he gladly accepts every chance to rest he's been given.
