This was genius. And I feel no shame in admitting that I am 100% going to steal this in the future. </span> </p>
<p>What shocked Halgrin the most was that, at first, he had actually considered going along with the piracy. If only to make sure that this team of theirs survived long enough to get to Chult. </p>
<p>After all, this—party—was his first responsibility. </p>
<p>But he wasn't going to sit around and let innocents die either. So instead of murder, he'd just commit betrayal. </p>
<p>No wonder Helm didn't want anything to do with him. </p>
<p><b>"Ay, Cap'n. We'll do what need's doing. Just give me a moment to make sure my partners are all properly convinced. Don't want any misunderstandings."</b></p>
<p>He motioned to his party.</p>
<p><b>"Horat, Wrinil, Olivia, Enizver. Come with me. We'll talk at the rear of the ship."</b></p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>I don't normally like to do this, but for the sake of moving the game forward, I hope everyone willingly follows me on this one. That being said, if you believe your character would do something different, feel free to contradict me. I swear, no hard feelings. </span> </p>
<p>Once they have a moment to speak with each other, Halgrin says, <b>"We're not killing innocents. And we're not going to become pirates. But for now, we need these people to get to where we're going. And we can always jump off at the next port of call, if needs be."</b></p>
<p><b>"So here's what I'm thinking. Sabotage. We make sure this ship doesn't hurt anyone. And we do it as quietly as possible. I'm not dumb enough to think this will work completely. So if things go pear-shaped, only kill or wound as many as you need to protect yourself. We'll need a skeleton crew at the very least to keep sailing."</b></p>
<p><b>"I have a rough idea of what you all can do. But I'm not the sharpest dagger out there. So if you have a better idea, I'm all for it. But in lieu of that—"</b></p>
<p><b>"Horat, you're the best fighter here. Stick close to the Captain, in case we need to take him out. And if you think you can discretely slow this ship down any with some of your tricks, do what you can. Avoid burning down the sails, though. I don't fancy the idea of slowly dying of thirst in the middle of the water. The irony would piss me off."</b></p>
<p><b>"Enizver, go down below. If you see ballista, or Gods save us, smoke powder cannons, do what you can to take them out. I'm not sure how exactly. Not exactly my area of expertise. But you're smart. I have faith you'll figure something out. And if you see an opportunity that will help in another way, take it. If a fight breaks out, find an area to snipe from, or get to one of the others."</b></p>
<p><b>"Wrinil, I'm not gonna sugar coat it. You'll have the hardest job. But you're the perfect one for it. I need you to set up next to the helm. Because as long as we have that, we have control of the ship. Focus on staying alive, rather than dishing out the pain. If the Captain is there, you'll have Horat to back you up. If not, someone else will get to you."</b></p>
<p><b>"Olivia, you're the most mobile out of all of us. So I want you to head to the crow's nest. Keep an eye on everyone, but most importantly Wrinil and Horat. And if you think you can somehow warn the other ship, do it. If things go sideways, unleash hell from above."</b></p>
<p><b>"As for me, I'll go where the most idiots are, and do what I can to provide a distraction, if you catch my meaning."</b> At this, Halgrin patted his sword.</p>
<p><b>"And don't anybody get any ideas about being heroic. If it gets real bad, surrender. Blame everything on me. I am the only expendable one here, you got it? If any of you dare to die before me, I swear by almighty Helm, I will drag your carcass from whatever afterlife you find yourself in, and bring you back kicking and screaming so I can beat the living snot out of you. Is that clear?"</b></p>GM, first of all, Kudos to you. This was genius. And I feel no shame in admitting that I am 100% going to steal this in the future.

<p><b>"The first gift we ever receive is family."</b> The others repeated his words.</p>
<p><b>"I’ve only known Helen for a few weeks. She did not grow up here. This was not her home by birth. But by choice. When the call went out to aid our neighbors, she answered.
