Message: <blockquote data-quote="kalani" data-source="post: 6843801" data-attributes="member: 88085">I recently had an elf lose their ears (they were cut off by the Lord of Hillsfar as a trophy after he headbutt him during interrogations) after the party botched 3-14 and was captured in the attempt. Both of the party elves were executed (and their bodies later recovered and revived with faction charity), while the other 3 PCs managed to convince the hillsfar contingent they weren't associated with the assassination plot. I didn't make it easy on them though - each of them had to tell a convincing story, then make an opposed deception check at disadvantage vs. insight (with advantage). An hour or two later the interrogator returned after fact checking their story and asked them to repeat it..... I had the PCs repeat their story adding more details and asked for another check with disadvantage vs advantage was made to see if they messed up their stories. The PC pretending to be a camp harlot made the second check with advantage as they had played this role upon first entering the camp and it was fact-checked with the guards at the outpost. Finally, I had each of the two elves questioned as to who their "co-conspirators" were, as neither of the elves were seen near the tent, and so they knew that there were additional operatives in the camp. Had the elves ratted out the humans, the entire party would have been executed. Fortunately, such was not the case, so only the elves lost their lives that day.</blockquote>
