Vemuz,

(OOC: Yes, there is a ship's surgeon...)

Malthas,

The serving-woman presses closer to you and surveys the wrecked common room.

"Indeed," she says, her voice gaining a husky edge to it. "I know of a nice, cozy place just across the street..."

Malachi gives the halfling lass a parting grin - all tusks and bruises at the moment - before following Vemuz out the door and heading back down to the ship.

He breathes deep awondering what the good captain is going to say - not yet a single day in port and already his crews - and worse his officers - are in a bar fight and gaining a reputation!

"Ah Lady blessem!" he chortles as he catches up to the Swordfisher
 

Malthas smiles. "As long as you don't plan to rob me and leave me for the crows, m'dear." He winks, and gives her a quick pinch, taking any sting out of the words. 'Lead on, m'lass."

OOC: I'll survey the place she's taking us to be sure it doesn't seem to be a setup, and will keep an eye on Tuanna once we're in.
 

Nico leads the unconcious Orleau, upon the Arcane stretcher, back to the Ship <ignoring the looks of any who stop to gawk at the spectacle>.
Stepping up the gangplank, Nico calls for sailors to help Orleau to his bunk/hammock, while he goes below to his Quarters.

Arti scampers up the rigging to sit in his Crow's Nest for an hour or so before falling asleep, a pilfered bottle of beer from the Tavern to be handed to whoever is on Watch.
 


Malachi,

You, Mr. Thrice-born, Mr. Arfaliunium, and the seaman Jean Orleau return to the ship. Mr. Lang, keeping an anchor watch on deck, surveys you incredulously.

"What's this?" he says, in a sharp voice. His baleful gaze wanders over the boatswain, the Ship's Mage, and the able-seaman, before settling on the most senior officer in the group - you.

"Mr. Legba," he snaps, a note of anger readily apparently in his voice. "Mr. Legba, what is the meaning of this? Have you and this sorry lot been brawling like a bunch of...of common ruffians?"

Vemuz,

Upon reaching the ship, Mr. Lang's angry face greets you and the rest.

"What is meaning of this?" he snaps at Malachi, surveying you, Nicodemus, and the seaman Orleau with a baleful glare.

Nicodemus,

Upon reaching the ship, you are accosted by an angry Mr. Lang.

"What is meaning of this, Mr. Legba?" he snaps. "Have you sory lot been brawling?"

Orleau's mates, meanwhile, carry him down to his bunk.

Malthas,

The "cozy little place" that the bar maid had in mind doesn't appear to be a set-up. It is a fairly typical boardinghouse, somewhat plain, and more or less clean. A few sleepy sailors are apparent, lounging on chairs and benches around a fireplace.

The landlady, robust, red-faced woman, appears in a moment, carrying a broom.

"You'll be wantin' a room, I suppose?" she asks briskly, peering down at the two of you.

"I've heard," the barmaid says softly, her lips close to your ear. "That the beds here are the softest this side of the Sunset Sea..."

Antheos & Jonah,

For what seems like hours, the keg-raft pushes on through the fog. It is still, almost unnaturally so, inside the thick white mist; sound carries and echoes strangely. The soft splashing of the boatmen's quants are the only accompaniment to the silence.

"It's gettin' a bit dark," Captain McCrenshaw comments. "We might have t' spend a night in thet forest over there."

(OOC: Listen & Spot checks, please.)
 

Vemuz stands silently, leaving his arm to hang loose so that Mr. Lang can not tell that anything is wrong with it.
 

(OOC All: Taking this back to the top; I can't make my DM Post until at least Malachi and Malthas post, and I'd prefer to let Antheos and Jonah make theirs too, before replying...)
 

Jonah stirs at the mention of spending nigh in the forest and turns his head to look at the captain. "That's not very safe, isn't it?"

*At least they can't shoot us with bows then. Now if the fact that they have to come close is a good or a bad thing...*

OOC:
Spot check: roll 10 + 4 = 14.
Listen check: roll 7 + 4 = 11.
 

Malthas smiles gallantly. "Well then lead on, m'lady. Such a claim surely deserves the most rigorous of investigations...."
