(How much do I get healed for once healed?)

Liana nods along with Liliana's story. She's heard that tale enough times to believe it outright. Not too uncommon to fall in with the wrong crowd and pay the price even as a first-time offender. "Isn't it like the government to treat thieves as though they were mass murderers?" She spoke in a whispered tone, which seemed very unlike Liana to do. "While they let mass murderers into positions of power? Murderers, traffickers, and other corrupt souls."

Liana studies Liliana for a moment. She is trying to decide what sort of person she thinks Liliana is. 

(Since we get to roll! Insight 19. Not trying to sense a lie, but get a feel yeah?)

(You'd need to beat her roll or even get a nat20 to get a feel. I run it as a contest between rolls.)

(Pretty much roll the hit die with advantage and that's how much you're healed for. The clerics will tend to your body as the ship finally makes its way to the port.)

Aidan waits patiently for the clerics to look him over and bandage him up. When it's time to depart, he offers to assist Liana once again, if it is needed.

Healing: 6

On the mend and bandaged up, Liana hops to her feet when the call is made to come up top. If she's in any pain, it doesn't seem to show this time. "Thank you, kind clerics. I hope that another such incident doesn't occur again."

The would-be hero looks to Aidan with a nod, "Ready to go topside, friend?"

Seeing the ship dock, Nate climbs down the rigging and stands by the captain’s side so it looks like he won’t run off.

Aidan stands from his position leaning against the bulkhead (Ship lingo for wall).

"Indeed, Miss Red. Truth be told, I'm rather ready to get off this ship."

He does a quick once over of his harness and re-sheathed weapons before giving a quick nod in Liana and Lilli's direction.

"You lead and I'll cover the rear?"

"Sounds like a plan, my good man," Liana bobs her head in approval before taking point and leading the troupe upstairs. Once on the deck, she will scan and look for the captain. Ensuring her allies are still with her, and that their own injuries aren't getting in the way, she will stand by Nate and the captain as well. 

"The moment of truth is upon us," she whispers to herself with a headshake. She had little faith in the government as they were regular employers of monsters, but perhaps true justice would be seen today. If worse came to worse, she would just fight her way out. It may result in death, but at least it would be a death of her choosing. 

On their way back up to the Main Deck, Aidan will speak to Lilli.

"I'm afraid I don't think I caught your name, Miss. How are you holding up after earlier?"

7 - Healing

Lilliana nods and follows the others back up to the topdeck, her hands holding tightly onto the railing as she ascends behind Aidan. "Oh, where are my manners? My name is Lilliana Peacemourn. You can just call my Lilli if you'd like. I will be okay, but I still feel uneasy around the railing. Once we are topside I think I'll stick towards the center of the ship for now until I can build up my courage again. Thank you for asking, Sir...?" She trails off intentionally allowing him the opportunity to introduce himself.

LaRue, sorry, I missed your post to Lilliana earlier! I've been extremely busy with work this week and my attention has been very divided. I'm on day 7 of a 10 day stretch of work without a day off and will be working two doubles back to back Monday and Tuesday. So I may be a little scatterbrained or slow on my posts for a few days.

Aidan gives Lilli a slightly quizzical look before re-introducing himself.

"Aidan Burke, Miss. I've had a few close calls in my years working these ships, so I know where you're coming from. If you need any help with anything, I'll do my best to assist."

As the three of them return to the main deck amid the flurry of activity that is airship docking, Aidan sticks close to Liana as she seeks out the Captain.

Upon seeing the strange look Aidan gave her, she suddenly recalled that he had already once introduced himself. "I'm terribly sorry, Aidan,---is it alright if I call you Aidan? Also, you needn't call me, 'Miss', please just call me Lilli. I think my head is still a bit muddled from the insanity of the past few days." Like Aidan, Lilliana also keeps close to Liana, allowing the older woman to take charge in this situation. "So, am I to understand you were a bit of a smuggler then? Or at least, you were doing something like that when you were captured?"

Aidan chuckles slightly at Lilli's flustered apology.

"It's quite alright. And calling me Aidan will be just fine. I won't make any promises about dropping the 'Miss', but I will try to oblige. It is a habit that I have a hard time shaking."

Aidan looks about to see that there aren't too many crew members nearby before responding further.

"The weapons and supplies we were transporting were legally purchased. It seems the authorities just have a problem with us bringing them to 'rebel outposts bent on the destruction of civilization'."

Gaèl whos been quietly following the others with a little distance so far now giggles a little and mutters to himself. "Oh well, everyone is trying so hard..."

Lilli smiles and nods. "Well, yes, I suppose I could see that poising a problem with them. Although, the question becomes whether they were actually rebels and not just fringe folk looking to live their lives outside the constraints of society."

Aidan smiles and nods at Lilli.

"And that is spot on target, Miss Lilli. These folk have no intention of destroying civilization. But as far as the Cities are concerned, their desire to live outside the bounds of the cities would be disastrous if the idea became popular and started to drain the city populations. Populations that are necessary to maintaining the elites' way of life."

Nate taps the hilt of his rapier with a coin while he waits, not really noticing that he does it.

Aidan addresses the captain as the crew begin moving the gangway into position.

"Well, Captain, seeing as your the only one who knows where we're headed, I suppose we'll all follow you to meet your commander?"

(Had to go somewhere yesterday, couldn't post there.)

As ship comes closer to the harbor, you see the Aerovail is in full celebration. Various races and citizens mingling and multiple vendors along the streets, plying their trade and festival treats and toys. No one except for the military personal at the docks really acknowledge the ship docking. Most of the other ships at the harbor appear to civilian transports and actively docking and setting off once more. The captain nods as the crew sets up the gangway.

"That'd be right, though it'll be fairly easy to tell where we're going. We'll need to head to the castle to speak with the commander."

He points out to a rising spire where some ships dock at. It is the tallest spire in the city and seems to be quite a way inwards.

"We'll be going by carriage just to avoid...well some of your faces would be rather hard to see with the military."

He looks to Nate and Liana.

"Or in one's case, mask."

"Ohoh, am I so well known already?" Anyone could hear the smirk in Liana's voice as she thumbed the chin of her mask. She leaned forward and asked, "About your commander... who he is? I've been gone awhile, so I'd like to know his name."

(Rolling history/intelligence, same +0 bonus, in case Liana does know the guy already or if it's a new name, she'd like to see if she knows anything about him. Thinking she might know him from her encounters with the Aerovail military in the past.)
