Thrash would finish helping this new companions escape from their manacles if needed, unlocking them with the keys and adding the keys to his pack. "We find your things.. then help find mine" Thrash would day in his broken common. After looking himself over and wiping the last of any blood from himself, he would look to his companions. "We search ship. Kill smugglers." The lizardfolk would say bearing his teeth.
Well I guess the next move is to unlock and remove the remnants of the manacles then. I'll do mine. While doing this, he says to Thrash and Hallard "Do you have an idea as to how many crew there are on this floating cesspit?"

After the second sailor falls, a little bit of Gilly's reluctance falls away. He helps drag the second sailor into the room they were bound in. Coming back in the room, he gladly holds out his wrists to have the manacles removed and then picks up one of the knives (guessing a dagger) from the floor. "Do you think your friends would help?" Gilly asks Thrash. "We can offer them food as well." He closes his eyes and shutters. "You ... seemed to enjoy what you ... had of the humans."
"Maybe... They With Thrash.. Get weapons for clan." The large lizardfolk would say to the strange colored man. "I ask..." He would hiss before moving through the room with the corpses and entering the room with his clansmen.
Once inside he would look at the two lizardfolk and talk to them in draconic.
"We killed a couple of the damned smugglers running this ship. I am going to try to kill the rest of them with the help of the guys I broke out. Then we can take the entire ship to the queen! Plus these guys will owe us and maybe help in the fight against those damned fish faced bastards" he would say with a snarl. "The corpses are back here if ya want a snack. If the two of you could help us out, I think the queen will be pleased when we bring her the whole ship and all the weapons on board... as well as some new allies." He would say as he locks eyes with the lizardfolk.
"Hou by die stryd teen Thrash, dit is wat u die beste doen" the lizardman with the red frill says. At this point the other one who has a black frill and who has so far not said anything simply growls "Veg, waar baklei?" The other responds "As jy hierdie geleentheid vernietig om wapens vir die stam te kry, hou ek jou verantwoordelik!"

Stick to fighting Thrash, it's what you do best. Fight, where fight? Thrash, if you wreck this opportunity to get weapons for the tribe I'm holding you responsible!

Thrash would hiss back in draconic. If the queen would have just build me a damn forge, We wouldn't need their weapons. I could craft better equipment than any of the overpriced junk these bastards are providing us. He would shout. "But the Queen is wise and I respect that a forge is not a top priority for her. Gathering allies however is... and If we can take this ship and bring the queen not only a ship full of weapons and armor... but a crew of strong men willing to aid in our war... then I think she will be more than pleased!" Thrash would lower his head for just a moment before looking back to the two lizardfolk. "If you will not help us to take this ship, then do not interfere. I will let you know once the crew have been taken care of. Help yer-selves to the snacks behind me.." Thrash would say pointing his thumb to the dead bodies behind him.
Thrash would then turn and walk past the corpses and join the others as they finish freeing themselves from their restraints. "They not help.. They stay away" he would hiss in common before cursing a couple times in dwarven and kicking a nearby crate. The Lizardfolk would collect a few of the sets of manacles from the ground and put them in his pack before looking to the disguised Vhon. "Let go clear deck" He would say with a bit of a grunt. If Vhon and the others seemed to agree, He would walk out on to the main deck towards where he last saw the sailors. (well.. one of the two he saw is dead but you know).
Well I guess the next move is to unlock and remove the remnants of the manacles then. I'll do mine. While doing this, he says to Thrash and Hallard "Do you have an idea as to how many crew there are on this floating cesspit?"
Hallard thinks for a moment. "Now don't hold me to this, but I think there are about 10 sailor grunts, minus scales and the two we have already dealt with. And then there is the leadership. So maybe another dozen?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Well if we can take down another three or four without anyone noticing we might be able to overpower the rest even if they rush us but I'd prefer to have some leverage somehow, maybe we could capture the captain, or if I can get a look at him I could impersonate him, that might work...." Vhon muses to himself. He concentrates again and changes his face and clothing until he looks exactly like the second sailor they just killed. Thinking to himself he continues to plan out loud. "How about, I go out on deck like this, if there is only one man in sight I'll try and kill him, Tiro, I want you peeping from the door ready to call down a spell on him if I don't drop him cleanly. Then I'll throw him over the side and we can go exploring, but we can't go anywhere if we can't get out of this room."He looks around the group, his eyes settling on Thrash "Are you allowed out onto the deck, I could say I was taking you to the captain or something, would be another pair of hands if we needed them."
OOC - I'm assuming from my limited knowledge of sailing ships that the area we are in is below a usable area, and therefore we might have people standing basically above us and we could therefore see each other from the middle of the deck. If this is the case then Vhon isn't going to kick off a full scale brawl and will try and lie his way out of the situation. So if I need to roll anything like Perception it is here (5) If he doesn't see anyone he will close to ten feet from the other sailor, making sure he doesn't block the doorway so Tiro has a shot and when the other sailor isn't looking he will Eldritch Blast him in the back (hoping for advantage!). DM let me know how it plays out and I'll write a post for it if necessary.

"Thrash go deck sometimes, get air. Thrash go too.. help kill. Thrash in trouble... Clan in trouble if no get weapons.." The lizardfolk would reply to Vhon in his broken common. A serious look spread across the hard lizardfolks face.
Thrash would walk out beside his disguised companion, looking up and checking the crows nest and other visible areas of the ship for threats. As his companions open fire on the pirate, Thrash would quickly lunge forward and attack the pirate with his flail.
perception 21
flail Attack: 7 Damage: 5
If anyone asks Thrash what he is doing prior to any attacks starting, The lizardfolk would reply "Full of meat.. Thrash get air... help digest"..
Gilly will watch Vhon and Thrash from a hiding place (the mostly closed door to the kitchen?) and use message to alert them to anything they might not see that he does.
Vhon opens the door and looks out onto the deck and can see one sailor leaning against the Starboard Rail. He occasionally looks up to the crow's next and says something. On the poop deck at the end of the ship he can see three other figures standing. One is controlling the Tiller and one of the others is giving him directions.
(OOC: Please feel free to retcon your posts based on Vhon's observations)
"Hmmm, perhaps we need to lure one or two more in first." Tiro whispers to Vhon (or if Vhon has progressed too far onto the deck, he whispers it to Gilly). "There may be more below the upper deck that may come when called and we won't be able to stop the alarm from being raised."

"Well, if we just walk straight out there blasting as we go we'll take the one on the deck, probably the one in the crow's nest too but then we'll have three up on the deck and who knows how long it'll take them to get back up over but there is a fair chance we will not have finished with those three, and I don't know if I can trick that many people at the same time. I think it is too big a risk, but that crow's nest gives me an idea, what if I put him to sleep, he might fall off and we see what happens next. If anyone comes in here we get a few more to pick off and I guess we can wait them out for a bit anyway... What do you all think?"Vhon looks over at the group trying to gauge their responses.

"If he falls to the deck that might gather everyone together to investigate, right now everyone is spread out. I think we need to get a few more here and take them down a few at a time.

Tiro says to Vhon "It may be better to get rid of some of their leadership individually first. One of the sailors referred to 'Foul Frithoff' having their guts for garters. Perhaps you could get the other sailor to send for Foul Frithoff, because we don't think we have enough meat to keep the Lizardfolk happy." Tiro is aware that in addition to the 5 we see on deck, there could be more on the deck above our heads as well as below decks at the other end of the boat.
