(@Zoor: Looking at someone is not the same as being prepared for an attack, especially at very close range. The Orc had plenty of time to recover his stamina after the battle, it's been a quite some time since then. Shelakh wasn't the one mauled, he is doing the mauling. What he did suffer was getting his right hand cut off by King Cassander, but that has long since been treated so he didn't bleed to death before they even reached Betony. I'll give you this much it was a creative attempt, but it was also an idiotic attempt. Scipio was rewarded appropriately for his actions.

You shouldn't be surprised that Shelakh attacked when you gave him the chance. The Orc was said to be stubborn, angry, defiant and uncooperative. He's a bloody pirate that wiped out an entire Breton crew without mercy because he hates them so much, only leaving the crippled kid alive because they didn't find him in the wreckage of his uncle's ship. His stated goal is to kill all the humans on Betony and reclaim the island. You clearly misunderstood the situation if you thought that setting him free would result in anything different.

As I've stated since the start of the RP, you're welcome to do whatever you want but stupid decisions will result in serious consequences. You want to try to persuade the bloodthirsty Orc Pirate instead of torturing him? Sure, you can try it, but for God's sake man don't set him free before you succeed. The only decision that could've been worse was if you handed Shelakh an axe after you set him free, then Scipio would've been dead for sure.)

"50 gold per bunk a night? Quite the hefty price. How many bunks do you need?" Captain Aevar asked, trying to calculate how much gold he'd get from this.

"Who will be in the landing party?" Quintus asked his superior. "We've only got 5 rowboats, that's 50 people at most."

The Argonian's ploy didn't work, as the guard simply replied from his current position. "The only port is Raven Rock, on the coast west of here through the ashlands." The rigger was frustrated, and it showed. "I...I thank you." The Dunmer guard grew more suspicious and began to grab the shield from his back. Lhotun could see that things were about to escalate. He mouthed for the three Argonians to go away and return to the rowboat. They understood and walked back across the bridge, leaving only the captain, Deros and Juunei near the Telvanni camp. The Telvanni guard let them go and grew more relaxed when they were out of sight. He put his shield back and sheathed his sword, then went into one of the tents.
