[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7522978, member: 9255"] SHADOW WAR SEGMENT 012 “ TWO MONTHS ON THE SEA PART TWO” 11/10/18 NYMM 4, 1003 OPEN SEAS WITH ZILARGO IN THE FAR DISTANCE Sarfuold continues to play “Cat & Mouse” with the mystery creature. Why does this creature have its own special tunnels? What is it? Does the Captain or Ezzirra know about it? The Dire Weasel animal companion hides in the shadows watching and listening. The animal is here. There! It is moving through the room. The weasel charges and the two run through the sleeping section of the ship. The orange and white creature is fast and agile. The weasel is fast but bigger. As the creature speeds under the swinging hammocks, the weasel gives chase…. And strikes several sleeping men. They call out as the creature luckily makes it to an opening as the weasel loses its footing and thumps into a cask of half drank ale. He stops and concentrates to sort out the sounds. He ignores the bright green beetle as it scrambles past him on the floor. Men are grumbling, weighted hammocks sway, boards creak and crack in the gentle drift of the sea. But he can just hear the animal as it climbs to the next level through its matrix of tunnels. Sarfuold gives chase as he scrambles up stairs and ladders. It is has continued up to the top…. Into the Captain’s quarters. Sarfuold sniffs and pushes at the door. Nothing. Now he scratches at the door and shorty hears a “Morrus? Is that you?” and the door opens as the Captain looks to the weasel. “Oh you.” And he rushes through the doorway into the cabin and spots his quarry on the table with a map and measuring instruments. “NO !” Captain Lucious calls out. Leave Morrus alone!” The commotion awakens Xar and Tabask whom hurry over. Dorque watches without emotion. “What is the meaning of this?!?” Demands the Captain. The orange tiger cat hisses at the dire weasel. The weasel dances around in play. Maps, charcoal sticks, straight edges and other goods dump to the floor as the two bounce around with “mock” swats and hisses. “Where did the tabbie come from?” asks Tabask. Xar thinks about soup. “I didn’t know there was a house cat on the ship.” Tabask continues with. “Have you seen any mice or rats onboard? Morrus is a crew member like everyone else. And unlike a few of the newer members, he does his job.” The warforged stiffens slightly at the implied insult. Tabask shakes his head in annoyance. The Golden Cat named Morrus gives an all-knowing look and swish of its tail in annoyance. NYMM 9, 1003 OPEN SEAS WITH ZILARGO IN THE FAR DISTANCE Rat gives out a call from the crow’s nest. “FOG!” “Fog… is dangerous?” asks the warforged whom has not moved in two days now. “Fog? No. But what it hides can be. See there- we can see it now from the deck.” Replies Ezzirra. Thick white fogs sits on the water directly before the Azure Dragon. Captain Lucious has come out from his room to look at it. “Gently to the right Nemo.” The sailor at the wheel turns the ship away from the shore. No one says anything including the cleric. “Captain…. The fog is stalling. Staying before us.” Calls down the crow’s nest man. “Moving to intercept or what?” Tabask finally asks. “Maybe. Drop the bow and stern masts.

The tension is as thick as the fog. “Captain?” asks a sailor. “Casting a detection spell now for magic.” Says Ezzy as she begins to wave her hands and fingers. “Oye! Can’t you see me walking here?” calls out someone as the ship begins to enter the fog. Everyone looks at each other questioning what they just heard. “Below- by the port bow! “ calls out Rat from high above. Everyone moves there hoping it is not another dragon. What they see is more unsettling. Standing on the water, adjusting its stance as the waves roll by within the fog, is an Ogre with a walking stick. It wears only a breech cloth and a pack. “You are not near the normal shipping lanes. Where are you off too? Off course are ye?” Everyone is slack jawed looking at this friendly giant-kin walking on water in the ocean miles from the shore line. So awe struck and confused, no one answers the ogre as he further greets them Tired on it, the Ogre waves at them and moves on. “Now THAT…. That was different.” Says the Captain to the ship sorcerer.
