[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8503478, member: 7030144"] Session 82 (August 11, 2016) 22 Tar-Skard In the middle of the night, 4 Hanalian vollers arrive; the vollers are flagged as belonging to a kov of some type, with many dead crew and many sorely injured. "The hands at the tiller were… the priests said they were imps. They all vanished when the ship tied up, except one who is sitting with the wounded officer; I don’t think he’ll live, that one." They inform Dame Brionna of this and a message from the captain. He hands her a document, with the seal of Snatterkaz. [Attached] Dame Brionna sends a message to Grandmaster Farsensor. The Moriquendarim redactor is also called for, because he is the only one who has the capability of saving the wounded officer. Three of the voller are men-of-war; the last is an enormous barrel, for the transportation of water. The selkie were under attack—there was something vile clinging to the outside of the ship, which the elves deal with. There is a gasp from the drow. "There is a lord of the house of Curinirim, here, dead. This one was young, no more than a third comer perhaps fourth. His liege must be informed. The house of Curinirim is not numerous. He should be shrouded." "Can he be raised?" "He will not rise against his will, and his body has been abominated. He would not return if he were offered. He has severed all connections and gone… departed. Were his body restored to life, it would change." Dame Brionna raises an issue about the three humans who will inevitably die, and whether they will rise again as corrupted. The Drow offers to call for his master’s house troops, who can deal with it, and Dame Brionna agrees. The water tanker has lost most of its water, because of damage. Dame Brionna orders that it be patched, so the selkie can be kept safe. "They were trying to drag the young away. When we got involved and they realized they were losing, they began to kill. We drove them off; many of them died, but they were driven off. The Noldar inflicted hellacious damage, but unfortunately he fell. The strom pursued and bombarded them with alchemical fire; I haven’t had contact in several hours. As my strength faded, I lost my mental grip on him." Dame Brionna and the Grandmaster Farsensor follow the link to the Strom. The Council discusses the fact that the Noldar are dying at a faster rate than they are being born. Perhaps 3 or 4 are born per year, although more than that are destroyed in conflict with the enemy each year. The Council calls for the child with Selkie blood to try to figure out where to put the Selkie refugee children. "They have got to be kept wet. If they’re going to be in it a long time, it needs to be salt—they can last a couple of days. They are vegetarians if they’re old enough—if they’re young enough to still need milk…" "Would a human wet nurse be sufficient?" "I don’t see why not." The Council sends him to keep them company. * * * There were some raids on the salt warehouses. Appear to be people panicking. The Council comes up with a plan to manipulate the market and spread rumors to reassure the people. [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
