B6: The Veiled Society - IC

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Outside, a group of dock workers begin to converge towards the boat. They bear no weapons as such, but do carry wooden planks that could be used as clubs.

The breeze picks up, gently rocking the boat and moving the crumpled paper on the floor towards the stairs.

OOC: So sorry for all the delays! Hopefully things are getting less hectic for me in RL.

Barek moves to the paper, examining it quickly as he notices the gathering crowd.

"Might be time for a quick exit or a quicker tongue," he says of the crowd.

Caridoc sees the dockworkers moving towards the ship and turns round to tell the others. Seeing that Barek already knows they are coming, he turns back round and grabs hold of the gangplank; in case it should become necessary to pull it in. "If we have finished here, I suggest a quick exit." he says.

The dock workers approach. In the lead is a large man who appears to boast some orcish heritage.

"You guys shouldn't be here. Get off that boat!" he declares.

[sblock=Barek]On the dirty scrap of paper is scrawled "blue water mead hall tonite".[/sblock]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek quickly crumples the paper and shoves it in his belt pouch, then presents an innocent smile to the dock workers.

"Apologies, gentlemen!" he says. "We'd been told a lost acquaintance of ours was working aboard this vessel, and we'd been oh so eager to catch up with him that I'm afraid we may have been rude in our entry. Let's be on our way then, yes, friends?" he says to his fellow party members, heading to the gangplank showing nothing but contriteness and good humor.

"Don't come back! This ain't a social club" the big worker declares.

If the party leaves now, the men make no move to stop them.

 

[Rhun]

Celythia follows after Barek, glad that the group wouldn't have to get into more trouble by brawling with a group of dockworkers.

 

[HolyMan]

Rezak leaves quietly leaving the empty bottle and making sure none of the dockworkers regonize him.

[sblock=OOC] After the run in with the assassin Rezak would walk around with his hood up alot more and keep from looking people in the eye.[/sblock]

 

[ghostcat]

Caridoc follows the others as they leave the ship. Again acting as rear guard. In addition, he keeps an eye on the dockworkers. he briefly considers blessing them but decides not to push his luck.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek nods contritely and moves with the others away from the ship. Once they're far enough away to avoid being overheard, he shares with them what he found:

"I think we need to find 'blue water mead hall,'" he says. "Our red-headed friend is meeting folks there tonight. Seems a coincidence if this veiled society is meeting the same time and it isn't there."

 

[ghostcat]

"In which case I suggest we find out where it is now. Then we can go straight to it tonight. However, lets try to be subtle about it. Any idea how we go about it. We tend to stand out and don't really know anyone we can trust." says Caridoc
