I meant turning slavers into authorities (and maybe sitting back and relaxing, he's bitter from his history of being enslaved/in servitude)

Well, if we're all ready, as soon as I get into position I will tip over a cauldron on them, then run to the deck as fast as I can to slide down. I'll double-check this plan with the others.

"I wouldn't waste our resources on such a place. A pot of oil could affect perhaps one orc at best, and these folk simply don't seem like they're worth it. Best to simply go take care of them ourselves, in my opinion."
As he speaks, Prometheus ties together a few ropes to make a larger one capable of supporting his considerable weight, and slides as soon as the others do, striking all at once.
(Point of entry, I'm thinking near the base of the tower, to hopefully be out of the archers' lines of sight, if they have any up there.)
'Gottit.' I pull out a rapier and a net. 'We should't split to much, you two stick together.' I yell as I follow Prometheus.

Lila grins and a gleam appears in her eyes "Right, now how about that distraction? Is everyone ready?"
She doesn't wait to check. Turning, she walks towards the bulwark. "I would start to make your approach, this wont take long" With one small leap, she flings herself over it and plummets through the open air.

“I will take responsibility for what I have done. [...] If must fall, I will rise each time a better man.” ― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer.
Just to be clear, Feather Fall doesn't make your descent safe. It just limits your descent to no more than 60ft per round. Every 10ft drop is still 1d6 damage, so you'd still take 6d6 damage. Mind if we say you didn't do that?
( feather fall Actually states 'A falling creature's rate of descent slows to 60 feet per round until the spell ends. If the creature lands before the spell ends, it takes no falling damage and can land on its feet, and the spell ends for that creature.' As long as it doesn't run out {lila will cast it soon before she hits the ground} she will be fine.)

“I will take responsibility for what I have done. [...] If must fall, I will rise each time a better man.” ― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer.
Ah right, it's a minute duration, so it would still be active. My bad. I was thinking you had to land in the same action. You are high enough up that you won't land in the same action in free fall. It's under a two-round fall from rest, as a body falls about 145 feet in a round, and you're about two hundred feet up.
(Feather fall is also a reaction, so I could theoretically cast it just before I hit the ground or right as I jump)
Playing it safe, Lila casts feather fall as soon as she is able and floats down safely, touching the ground with barely a sound. Squinting, she surveys her surroundings...

So, to be sure, we have one PC going down toward the front as a distraction and the rest via ropes near the central tower right? Well, one PC and one NPC, as Seeker jumps over the railing, yelling "Witness Me!" and similarly didn't mention what the plan was to the others.
Lila lands first. Perception: 7
A moment later, a leather bag drops to the ground behind her, splits its seems on impact, and ejects Amaranth Seeker. Picking up the remnant of the bag, Seeker adds, "Aw, crap, they were right. A Bag of Holding can't survive a fall like that." then with an awkward laugh Seeker adds, "Guess I lost that bet...Anyway, whatta'ya have in mind? We gonna burn stuff?"
As the ship approaches, everyone on board sees a particularly slender orc making a dead run for the tower.
The orc is running toward the tower, but specifically to a rope tied to the base of the tower, which runs all the way up it. He's definitely noticed the ship.

Remember how I keep asking you to revise your Agenda to something that could be completed? 'Free some slaves.' Would be perfect.
I'm fine with you buying the nets.
Well, slavery is legal in your country, and in this area there isn't a stable legitimate government that extends past one location at a time.

You guys are the aggressors. This begins when you take actions to begin it.

Gotta ask what the plan is there...
(Plan is a little bit of an overestimate. It is a vague idea involving feather fall, some taunting and hopefully some backup)
