[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4798113, member: 60965"] Session 20, Part 5 “Where is everyone heading?” Harold shouted at a passerby on the crowded docks. “No Gnomes left near Steamport any more, lots of open land!” a boisterous dwarf with a heft barrel on his shoulder called back. “Besides, every time they fight for Port, it catches fire.” “I thought they weren't allowed to attack commoners,” Kormak shouted. “They aren't, but it ends up catching fire anyway. You've got a ship, you should join us, tons of free land open for the taking!” “There's an idea,” Kormak said. “Forget traveling to the Crystal Towers and tracking down artifacts for a dragon, let's just go start over! Make a new civilization that's all pretty and nice!” They ignored the dwarf, as usual. Suniel walked back up the ramp. “It sounds like the Hold War is set to start tomorrow.” “They scheduled it?” Kezzek said. “They're very serious about how and when they kill each other here,” Kormak said. “Apparently,” Kezzek said. “So, what do we do now?” “Well, they said you couldn't set foot in Port, they didn't say you couldn't float in the harbor,” Suniel said. “It's getting late, so I say we wait until daylight, sail East of Port, and hopefully just ride around this mess.” “Ride around it?” Kormak said. “On what?” “The turtle goes overland. I figured we could build something on top of it to put the Black Carriage on.” “Why don't we pull the carriage behind the Turtle?” “No, I mean the acolytes I agreed to take on from some other Black Carriage travelers I met here in Port.” “Acolytes?” Kezzek and Kormak said at the same time. “Yes, don't worry, Barodin and Trace will keep an eye on them,” Suniel said, walked across the deck to where the goblins, Guntl, and Shruka sat around the carriage, playing cards. “Barodin and who?” “Barodin is a paladin who agreed to join the Black Carriage. Trace is a minstrel.” “A minstrel?” Kezzek said. “They're surprisingly good at gathering information, I thought he'd be useful,” Suniel said. “Maaaster,” No Tongue said, walking over and handing Suniel his latest carving. Suniel took it and examined it. As usual, the little goblin's craftsmanship was amazing. “Is that supposed to be some kind of mountain? Why does it go up and down?” Kormak said. Suniel's brow wrinkled it as he looked at it. “I think this is the top, look there's a path running up it and little buildings carved on the top.” “Well done little guy, you made a thingy!” Kormak said, patting No Tongue on the head. “It looks kinda like the ones in the murals we saw. Remember, in that twisted building on the side of the Landspear? The floating islands.” Suniel paused and stared at the goblin as it grinned and did a little dance at his feet. “How would he know about that? Only the five of us even saw those.” “Five?” Kormak said. "He counting Dog?" “He counts Keeper as a person,” Kezzek said. Suniel glanced back to where the construct leaned against the rail, staring out at the sunset. “Isn't he?” “Honestly Suniel, I have no idea what to think of him... it... whatever,” Kezzek said. “Anyway, I guess we'll just settle in here until tomorrow,” Kezzek said. Harold walked over from where he'd been staring across the busy docks. “I thought I saw something,” Harold said. “Be ready tonight when I get back, I'm going to investigate.” “Ready for what?” Kormak and Kezzek said in unison, but the archer was already jogging down the gangplank to disappear into the pre-exodus mob that thronged the docks, ready to sail their impromptu armada to recolonize the desolate lands that had once been the gnomish city-state of Steamport. “This should be good,” Kormak said as they stared out at the city.
