Interesting Thought, But...

"Don't worry LeLu I got a better idea. Check this out sis on our next mission to attack the slavers, how about I take the form of someone else when we attack the slavers and instead of killing them we just wound them very badly. We will let them suffer the losses of the revenue and medical costs and lay the blame on a noble who managed to piss me off before. Her name was Kalena Valade and she is a holier than thou noble who abused her status on those who she looked down on. I think it would be amusing to see her get taken down a notch or two. I also have a beef with a dark half elf named Oruvand who thinks himself a lawman. From what I have seen by the way the 'Failure is not acceptable' standard the locals have, it would easily cause internal strife and make our job easier to disrupt the slaver business since trust will become an issue for them. All I will need is the proper clothing and horse. So what do you think sis?"

Auriel pondered Jack's plan for a few moments as they continued to ride. "Hmm... its an interesting plan to be sure, but I don't really know how well it will work. Even if you can pass off as Kalena or Oruvand, and the slavers do effectively describe their attacker, there is no garantee that the authorities will come to the conclusion that those individuals were responsible for the attack. From what I know of Kalena, she basically has everything a woman could ever want, and Oruvand is a mercenary with a history of supporting law enforcement. Neither of them really have a motive for attacking slavers and freeing their slaves, which is what I would like to do. Also, while attacking the slavers and letting them live will hurt their cash reserves, they will still probably continue to enslave people. I'm thinking that unless those two prove to be serious obstacles, we would probably be wise to put your plan on the backburner for the time being."

"Remember what I said when we first met not too long ago: We're here to provide hope to the slaves. We want them to know that there is a hero that cares about them. For now, I think you want to show the slaves that you are that hero. I want to try to recruit the slaves that we free, but I'm not going to forcefully enlist them. If some of them don't want to fight for our cause, then I will let them do what they want. There is a chance that some of them might end up telling law enforcement what happened, and I'd rather try to keep it a secret from our enemies that you are able to shape-shift."

Auriel frowned slightly as she continued. "Also, running a rebellion isn't exactly cheap. I kind of want to take all the slavers' armor, weapons, and coin if I get the opportunity to do so."
