Neville Rathbone, Human Ranger/Rogue 4
After he is shown his cot for the night, Neville stows his bag neatly underneath, and gets ready to sup. He strides across the deck slowly, hands clasped behind him, and nodding to the crew, as if to show some sign of unbidden approval. He enters the galley and removes his hat saying,
"Well, it seems we're off to a fine start. It looks as though our fine captain is busying himself geting to Vathirond, so let's discuss our plans for the after. But first, let's eat."
Neville sits at the head of the table, eating very little. He is a slight man, and is would come to no surprise to even the less than astute observer that the man is no glutton. After eating a little food, he busys himself peeling an apple with a sharp knife, which he has produced from his boot. Quickly working with astounding speed and familiarity, Neville trims the friut from stem to core, letting an umbroken peel fall onto the table. Neville looks right and left, making sure no crewmembers are left in the room, Neville stands up and moves some plates aside. With a
thunk, Neville sticks the knife in the table and pulls out a rolled paper from his waistcoat, and rolls it out onto the table, using drinking vessels to hold down the sides.

"Well now," he says,
"Vathirond is here." Rathbone picks up the knife and points to the circle on the southwest portion of the map.
"According to 13, the tower is 5 days march this-a-way.", as he moves the knifepoint off towards the center of the map.
"13 has also given us a letter of credit with an outfitter for Magebred mules, and supplies." Neville looks around the room, meeting eyes with everyone at the table.
"Now, since we all have the luxury of airborne privacy, why don't we talk about our individual qualifications for this expedition. 13 has chosen us all for something, and I'm afraid I have been absent over the last, er.....decade or so. Should I have heard of you? Are you all swordsmen like Bale or Azreal? Or are we men of mystery, like Marcus and Amon. Adn, no offense Mr. Fury, I'm surewe can all guess what it is that you, er....do. It would be a great boon to know a bit more before we make off for the Mournelands."
