She smiles at Syl, "Why thank you. As to my preference of whom to go with," she pauses, "I prefer Sekmun and his offer. While I am sure the other Captain's offer is fine, there is just something about it that does not sit right with me. I am sure he is well intentioned." She shrugs.

She looks to Borric with a grin, "If it will help, I will buy you a skin of some fine spirits."

OOC: Are we going to get a pay out in XP & GP before we get underway with the new adventure?

Borric nods as two of the group are in agreement and he really is not too concerned either way.

"Very well then. We have some time before we need to be back on board the lizard's ship. Do we need to do any shopping, beforehand? It might be awhile before we are near some decent shops."

"Besides I will need to return this goblet. I can inform the other captain that we will pass."

OOC: You all can add your time-based awards at any time though I've calculated everything up through today and included it in the first post. Feel free to do any shopping you want to do; with monies from the sale of Sekmun's armband, time-based gold earned, and the retainer that Sekmun pays you will all have a fair bit of extra coin to spend. We can rp out returning to Sekmun and getting the retainer and taking the goblet back to Captain Galerius and declining his offer if you all want. I would prefer to assume those things have happened and make a small jump to the point in time when the group is returning to the Eel to set sail after having completed shopping and whatever else they might need to do before leaving the city. Let me know your preference and we can pick up from whatever point in time that is.

Nathan smiles. "Well, that's all relatively painless, then," the sorcerer says."So, looks like I need to do some packing for a swamp, then!"

OOC: I'm fine with skipping to the adventure proper once shopping's done. I'll try to get Nathan updated shortly.

 

[Gerald007]

OOC: Same with Syl. I'll get his xp and gold updated ASAP.

"Alrighty then. Let's meet up after taking care of our last second errands. We've got a trip to plan for, Waltor."

Zelena returns to the docks with Celebfedhiin at her side from their trip to Arcane Row. She starts down the wooden planks towards the vessel

OOC: I need to wait for a few days RL to pick up my commissioned item. I recommend you guys also commission those things you rolled failures on too while we wait.

Borric agrees, "Yeah, not too difficult. You must be taking advantage of me in my drunken state."

"Hmmm, is there anything special we should get for swamp duty. I already have a good chain shirt for when we are on ship. I don't want to try swimming in my platemail."

Borric reports aboard with the others, slightly hung-over and sexually satiated. He is an experienced enough seaman to know that you need to get that sort of thing taken care of before getting underway. He also knows what happens when some fools forget and then start eying the lithe cabin boys.

"Wasn't especially lucky in my own search, I'm afraid, but that just means I can save up for better later," Nathan says with a grin as he arrives.

OOC: Commissioning Nathan's item delays the adventure by another 2 days beyond Borric's commission, and I'd rather get going than wait on it, personally. I could commission it for when we return, but knowing myself, I'm sure I'd forget it was waiting for me.

OOC: Sorry, Songdragon, I'm going to move you all to that point just as you arrive at the dock...

Approaching the dock where the Eel of K'issp is moored the group runs across an old man wandering about in a bit of confusion. He is extremely thin with the brittle lankiness of the old. Thinning white hair and wiry brows over icy blue eyes set off skin mottled brown by age and exposure to the sun. He clutches to his chest a worn leather satchel that looks to be as old as he is; the leather is dry and cracked and the shoulder strap is rotted half through.

"Ah, kind sirs and madam? I'm looking for the, ah..."

The old man fumbles for a scrap of paper and in the process of holding it close to his eyes to read loses his grip on the satchel. His stick-like fingers scrabble for the satchel. The paper he was holding flies free and though he manages to grab the satchel the strap tears through and it falls to the dock strewing personal items and the cover of a book that looks to be made of some sort of scaly hide across the boards. Several small items slip between the boards and disappear into the water with a >plop< and the old man stares at the mess in dismay.

"... the Eel of Crispiness, or some such. Oh dear."

GM: Commissioned items: I've no problem stretching things out to last until you can all pick up commissioned items. On the other hand, there will be a couple of opportunities early on the journey to shop and make rolls again if you're willing to take that chance. Personally, I'd rather have the sure thing; once you get into the swamp you won't be able to buy supplies.

Nathan bites his lip as the contents of the satchel are strewn about. He mutters quickly, "One of you catch the paper, please?" to the air nearest the billowing slip. With the lightest chime, the paper stops its escape attempt and moves to Nathan's hand as if reeled in by a kite string. Realizing the old man's eyes are failing him, he glances at the slip himself to confirm his suspicion that their new acquaintance is looking for the same ship they're ready to board.

OOC: Since Prestidigitation can move up to 1 lb of material, I'm assuming it can catch a scrap of paper in the wind. Hopefully I didn't take too much liberty. On item commissioning: I'm good. If it's allowable, I'll probably have Nathan try again for the amulet of nat armor at whatever stops you've got set up, but in general, I'd rather not stretch the setup unnaturally on my account.
