Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek sighs. "If he were here, our ginger would surely stick out," the half-orc says as he looks over the sailors. "He might be belowdecks on one of the vessles, though, or be taking some leave. I think we may just have to show some of our hand to get further, and simply ask about this Akiros."

"We's cuild says we needs ta give'm dis," Rezak says patting the bottle under his cloak. "Says he wons it fair and ye all makin' sure I's pay'n off me debt." The rogue says with a grin nowing he looks the part of someone who would cut his losses and run.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"We's cuild says we needs ta give'm dis," Rezak says patting the bottle under his cloak. "Says he wons it fair and ye all makin' sure I's pay'n off me debt." The rogue says with a grin nowing he looks the part of someone who would cut his losses and run.

Barek gets a mischeivous gleam in his eye at the suggestion. "Well, if we're to be keeping you honest of your debt, best make sure you look the part of a forced penitent," he says, quickly grabbing the man by the back of the collar. The usually poised half-orc smoothly melts into a far crueler demeaner, slumping his shouders, jutting his lower jaw a bit more. He drags Rezak along behind him, glaring around until he reaches the closest clump of sailors.

"I'm lookin' fer sommat named Akiros," he growls. "This'n tried welchin', an' I owes Akiros a solid, wanna make sure he gets what's comin' to 'im."

[sblock=OOC]Perform (act) and Bluff are both +9, Intimidate +11 if that's relevant, as well (since he's acting the part of a thug now)[/sblock]

The four men set down a crate and turn to deal with Barek.

The nearest one is a burly, middle aged blond man. "I don't know any Akiros. Who is he?"

"Humans all look the same ta me, mostly," Barek says, "But this one has bloody hair.... red. Red hair. You don't make as many of those, do ya? Seen one 'round?"

 

[ghostcat]

Caridoc ignores the conversation between Barek and the labourers, being continually on the lookout for anyone paying attention to the group.

[Rhun]

Celythia keeps her distance, lest her presence distract from Barek & Rezak's ploy. She keeps her eyes open for any signs of a red-headed sailor, or anything else suspicious.

The man replies "Might a' seen one 'round that ship" he says, pointing to one of the passenger ships. He gestures to the other men, and they all lift the crate, and resume carrying it.

The passenger ship is about 40' long, and looks like it has been damaged. On closer inspection, you see that a few chunks are missing from the hull. It appears deserted at the moment.

 

[HolyMan]

"Very n'vitin lookin," Rezak says sarcasticly. "And do ye has ta squeeze me so 'ard, I's tink ye be enjoying lett'n ye black blood show."

When Barek looks ready to go Rezak "leads" the half-orc to the passenger ship.

The man replies "Might a' seen one 'round that ship" he says, pointing to one of the passenger ships. He gestures to the other men, and they all lift the crate, and resume carrying it.

"Thank ye kindly," Barek says, allowing the men to return to their work.

"Very n'vitin lookin," Rezak says sarcasticly. "And do ye has ta squeeze me so 'ard, I's tink ye be enjoying lett'n ye black blood show."

When Barek looks ready to go Rezak "leads" the half-orc to the passenger ship.

Barek leans in close to Rezak, his face a snarl so that any witnesses would think he's threatening his captive. "Can't imagine what you're referring to," Barek whispers jovially. "Surely I'm just playing a role with the commitment of any good actor. Wouldn't want to disappoint the audience, would we?"

His captive ostensibly chastened, he lets Rezak walk before him, though he keeps his hand at his collar in case he needs to further 'discipline' the man.
