Dragonslayers: After the second dragon

[Super Girl]

Kylala nods at the first mate's instructions, she does her best to bare up under the woman's scrutinty. She watches the sailors work, especially those in the rigging, and she cannot wait to get up there. "Where in the hold can we put our belongings? And when exactly are we leaving, I mean, is it based on when the tides are good, or well, how do you guys decide stuff like that?" the girl asks curiously.

 

[Evilhalfling]

Makla opens a panel under the rail of the ship. revealing an empty storage lockers, she opens two others and takes a stuffed sack, a crossbow and a case of bolts from the last. DAN, I’m moving your gear!, you can store you weapons and some gear in these, the owl can try the beams in the hold. If you have bulkier equipment I’ll have the boys tie it down in the there as well. We sail near dusk so we can make the turn around the coast at night, cuts down on the chance the queen does a flyover. It will be an hour or so yet. Makla points out some barrels on deck, and explains there markings, most are filled with water, 2 with sand. For dragon breath. The sand for acid and water for fire. She also explains that If the ship isn't sailing at night then they have a feral and a hairfoot to stand watches, but that any of you are welcome to join them
her gaze lingers on Hond, Grim and Lareth.

The hour passes and the six of you settle in as the ship makes ready to cast off. The captain comes back out on deck several times, checking things over and giving orders.
Just before you cast off a fearl comes out of the hold his large eyes glimmering as he takes up position at the bow of the boat. The veiled man does not make an appearance again until just after setting sail.

Hond (barbarian)

Hond put's his backpack and breast plate in one of the compartments and walks around on deck looking at the ocean and occasionally back at the town for a few minutes.

Once he get's bored of looking at the new sight's he try's to find Grim or one of the others to talk to.

 

[Super Girl]

Kylala deposits her belongings in the locker, she traveled pretty light anyway, so it wasn't that much stuff, most just belt pouches. Having lightened her load of everything but her money pouch, her weapons, and her leather armor, the girl starts to explore the ship, looking for anything of interest.

Grimhild Uggluck

Grim snaps out of his gaze as Lalreth elbows him in the side and turns sharply to him, as if coming out of a daze, and gives him a huge goofy-looking smile as if he was completely innocent of any wrong doings.

"Uhh, sleeping on the deck sounds good to me! Unless it rains, I doughn wan to get wet.. then I guess I'll go down into the hold. Grim watches as Mahka pulls open a panel. Grim stomps his foot a bit on the deck "Uhh.. Mahka.. how strong is dis floor? How mooch weight can it hold? Grim pays attention to the barrels and thier markings and what they are for, although he's not quite sure if he remembers which marking is for which. "Wait, wait.. one for fire, one for ACID!? How do you know which Dragon spits what? I know da black ones spit acid" as he taps on Venomtooth on his chest, "But what about the others?"

Grim looks around a bit and thinks to himself Maybe ship wasn't good idea.. we should have just walked there as he sighs.

Grim goes over and sits down in what he deems to be an "out of the way" place on the deck (wherever Mahka had pointed to of where they could sleep on the deck) and pulls out his "Book of Big Words" and flips through the pages...

 

[Ferrix]

Aphram stows his gear alongside the rest, feeling slightly ill at ease without his bow and blade, looking at Grim, "you'll know when it burns you." He'll then find an out of the way place and sit, looking out over the ocean.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"I can help stand guard, I don't need to lay down so long as the rest of you. Though I will have my bow on me during such times. Couldn't bear to be without it and get Hibou's feathers singed, he'd never forgive me, and I'd never hear the end of it from Aphram," Lalreth says cheerfully.

 

[Mithran]

Hond (barbarian)

Hond looks around at the others and seeing Grim is busy with his book decides to talk to one of the others. "The owl would never forgive you?... I can see I need to learn a bit more about my new friends." Hond smiles and sit's down near Lalreth "How can you tell if he forgives you or not?"

 

[Evilhalfling]

Makla shrugs in answer to Grims questions, smiles at Aphrams dry answer and returns to supervising the crew.

Kylala -

Spoiler

as you search the boat, one of the crew stops you: "Are you with that veiled man then? does he order you about like he does the captain then ?

Velsouvus- You notice one of the crewmen watching you intently, occasionally starting to approach you before hurring off.

The order for cast off is given and boat is pulled out tof the harbor by a smaller boat lined with oarsmen. The crew rasies the sails and the boats turns and heads NW

As the harbor fades away in the wake of the boat, the veiled man comes out of the cabin, and over to you. You hear the whisper of mail underneath his bulky robes. He speaks with a thick accent and very formally – “I am Kel’th, I commissioned this ship to take me to my destination in the islands, I’m pleased the captain was able to accommodate your needs as well. I should be returning to Onuthod about two weeks after we drop you off there. Do you think you will have completed your errand satisfactorily before I return to that town? If it is not hidden, why do you voyage to Onuthod? Bearer, has this same thing brought you all the way from our homeland?

Grim -

Spoiler

Bearer is what the exotic merchant with the living chest called you, he said it was what men from along time ago called your people.

 

[azmodean]

Velsouvus stows his backpack in the hold and turns to Grim. Daily Vixzu grants me the power to bring his peace to my allies so that they may fight with greater vigor, so do you think only one of us should ask their god for this power, or should we each have it so that one can call upon it in one battle, and the other will still have it if there is a second battle in the day?

(translation, asking if we should both prepare bless so it can be cast twice in a day, or if Grim would rather prepare something else and let Velsouvus provide one bless a day.)

Spoiler

I attempt to contact the crewman alone, I'm in no hurry, any time during the voyage would be fine. If I have the opportunity to speak with him briefly, I try to calm him down, indicate that I see he wishes to speak with me, and arrange a meeting time.
