Elven Navy Delta Squad: Hunters

"Well, at the time we were in no condition to argue with the lizard folk leader regarding the bionoid. She claimed it for their tribe. I suppose we could go back done and retrieve it."

OCC: Marcus doesn't mention the final words of the bionoid to Battlepoet.

"They sound a spot dangerous. I'd like to see one of them up close for sure." Akodo's voice trails off at the end of the sentence. He's not sure that one's supposed to admit that sort of thing. Oh well.
 

The Battlepoet appears ready to close the session. "I'll discuss the situation with the command staff. The presence of half-dragon wildlife and the actions of the druid will go on record," she says.

"If there are no further concerns, you are dismissed. Good work, everyone. I expect it will be several days before your next assignment. Enjoy the rest."
 

"Thank you, Battlepoet."

Marcus waits until Battelpoet has left and asks the others,"So, Akodo, Grillon, anything happen while we were gone? It'll be good not to sleep on the ground for a few days."

Marcus will relax for the rest of the day, then start working on some moves and train to stay in shape.
 

In response to Marcus. "It's been kind of quiet, really — mostly waiting, at least for me — can't go anywhere, can't do anything — most of the interesting places on here aren't accessible without some sort of clearance (which apparently I don't have). Typical of the ruling classes, really." Akodo shrugs and turns into his hare form, scratches a nasty itch on his back with his hind leg, and then changes back into his hybrid form. "It's even worse when most anyone who's anyone knows that you can pull stunts like that."
 

Amanu is content to pick his fleas and follow orders of the Symbol while he's onboard. He looks forward to serving the Symbol in a more active capacity.

OOC: I updated Amanu on the first page of this thread...namely adding another level of wu jen.
 

True to her word, the Battlepoet waits a week before giving you another serious assignment. In the meantime you recuperate, conduct training exercises, and try out your new gear.

Arramor is away, responding to a medical emergency in the Chain of Tears. Leopard is sharpening her tracking skills in the deserts of Ashen. Erenal has drawn diplomatic bodyguard work.

So when you assemble, you see that the current team consists of Marcus, Amanu, Theryndil, Akodo, Grillon, and Chjargal (a bugbear druid).

The Battlepoet speaks, "As you all know, Delta Squad draws the strange assignments. I have a feeling that this one will be unusual even by our standards. You are being assigned to escort a alien researcher who is tracking down evidence of a elder spelljamming race in another sphere. He has supplied his own ship and crew. According to our calculations, the journey and return will take the better part of five weeks."

"Although artifact reclamation is usually left to the command of individual sphere commanders, the nature of the researcher presents some difficulties. Once you see him, I am sure you will understand the delicacy of the situation."

She walks to one wall of the room and waves her fist over an array of gemstones. One of the walls fades into transparency, although you suspect it remains opaque from the opposite side (the technique is often used in interrogation rooms).

In a waiting room a tall figure sits alone at a table, with a kobold squatting placidly nearby. The figure raises its head. White eyes without pupils catch the light, and glistening purple skin ripples as four facial tentacles move in a complex pattern. "I greet you." The words sound cool and sharp in your brains.
