[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 4454077, member: 37250"] "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]It's exceedingly simple![/COLOR]" says Keldar. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]First, the introductions. I'm Keldar, Keldar Warbray, lately of Orussus.[/COLOR]" Keldar indicates his companions in turn. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]The Lady Rapture of - also Orussus. Tarag, master smith, respectable businessman and priest, no less. Atomerasu Worthallingham, student of one of the two greatest schools of magical learning in the known world. Galwynn Grimeblade, of the tragic village of, of... wait, I can remember. Black and white animal, small area of woods - of course, the village of Magpiethicket. And here is Frimble Laura Atkins Mackerel Gibbons the Third, whose name I'm sure is not unknown in Fallon. But we all set off from Orussus, having signed on as guards for the voyage aboard the [I]Jane[/I] - the [I]Diligenza[/I], as she now is.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Now, Jamella Githiel, you say? Long silver hair? Pointed ears? About half as pretty as Rapture? Carried this very blade?[/COLOR]" Keldar displays the rapier that he can't seem to keep his hands off, though he's never strapped it to his side. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]A first mate who looks exactly like [I]him[/I]? Fond of fire? Screams a lot? Quite clearly insane?[/color]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Because that's the woman who attacked the [I]Diligenza[/I] and tried to kill us all. She stabbed herself in the heart when her attack failed. She's down below, in winding sheets, alongside the corpses of two of her men. And, you might be pleased to hear, we have all but one of the rest of her piratical crew tied up below too, alive if not happy. The twelfth leapt overboard and swam for it.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]And strange to relate, so did Captain Cregle, before he had a chance to see what the Keldarites and his own men could do in the face of pirates. It seems he had less concern for his ship than they.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]We would have looked for them, but the Kithsul is large, and the night was dark, and a lot was happening. We had had two others overboard and wounded to tend. I hope they reached shore, but I would not lay money on it.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Will you come aboard to examine the stolen goods in their hold - which I am sure you will find on the manifests of other vessels sailing the Kithsul? Though if you wish to wait for your companion to return with the guard, I understand. You'll need them to remove the prisoners.[/COLOR]"[sblock=OOC]Ahem, in swapping around the order of introductions, I managed to cut and not replace the mention of Tarag.
