Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bront" data-source="post: 3055334" data-attributes="member: 19696">How's this for Ekilu's version of the events?Meeting the others:Ekilu had met Nissa several times through his journeys on the Stormdancer, and he met up with her again in the small coastal town of Arete in the kingdom.  Her friend, Aldri, had been abducted and used as a labor and pleasure slave by a gang led by a water elemental crime lord. Ekilu and Fee offered to help; knowing that dealing with such crime lords was in the best interest of the kingdom. Nissa started poking around after Aldri, where she eventually discovered what happened and heard about the brave strangers, so she came to ask their help as well. Vaukriel and Tempest were their names, and Fee had served with Tempest prior to Ekilu serving on the Stormdancer.  The gang had sent a few sneaks to attack Tempest and Vaukriel at the inn, so they knew they were involved in this mess anyway and decided to help. The five of them managed to break up the local gang members in an assault on their hideout.  It was a fierce fight, and after downing the leader, the demoralized thugs began to run.  Ekilu, almost in a battle rage, slew one of them, despite the fear in the thug’s eyes belaying that he might have yielded.  Screams emanated from the other room, and the few remaining thugs dropped to their knees and begged for quarter.  The others ran to the screams while Fee attended to Ekilu, and there they found Oobobooboo standing over a badly injured thug.  Aldri wasn't there, but they found out where the crime lord’s main headquarters was, and discovered that this guy was wanted for all kinds of piracy, smuggling, prostitution, kidnapping, and worse. Together, with their new found ally Oobobooboo, they managed to corner and defeat the crime lord, though Ekilu struck him dead before the others could offer him quarter.  Still, it was a victory over a vicious crime lord, which earned them the favor of Taala.  The others eventually saw Taala and were publicly declared heroes.  However, Fee and Ekilu had already served the king.  He offered Ekilu the first mate’s position on the Isle ship, and Fee the captaincy of the Stormdancer.  Ekilu was on the Isle ship only a short time before many of his companions from the crime lord encounter joined him on it.</blockquote>
