Elven Navy Delta Squad: Thought Taker

[Old Fezziwig]

Akodo, in the middle of a yawn, blinks at the mention of pirates. He perks up a bit (Pirates? How dare he?) and smiles at the slightly mummified one. "Look, Terigmar (may I call you Terigmar?), I assure you that we're agents of the Elven Navy — our only concern here is that everything is fine. There are all sorts of dangerous and questionable folk If everything is fine and there's nothing we can do, well..." Akodo lets off with a friendly shrug and turns to Marcus.

Meanwhile, thinking to himself, and hoping that Thought Taker can hear him, Akodo describes the mummified one, hoping that the illithid might have some idea of what's going on here and if Delta Squad is in any danger.

OOC: Akodo's attempting a Diplomacy roll here, hoping to at least make Terigmar less hostile.

A hooded Grillon is waiting quietly in the corner, not trying actively to hide, also not trying to be noticed.

That's quite a Diplomacy modifier, Akodo.

Terigmar appears to be appeased by Akodo's speech and mutters to himself, "Hmmph. Elven Navy, huh? I'm away from port for a short while and the elves get delusions of grandeur. Can't be helped, I suppose."

Turning again to look at the party, he speaks, "Well, come in then. If you're going to stand about on my front porch, you may as well come in and have something to drink. None of you look particularly wizardly, but perhaps you could help me after all. Terigmar the Talented is here to serve."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

"Many thanks, Master Terigmar." Akodo enters, smiling at the rest of the group. "I'd be happy to listen to anything you have to say, although you are correct in your assessment of my wizardly talents."

OOC: Yeah, that Courtier's Obi really does a number to that modifier.

Amanu will try to conceal the nature of his talents, until Terigmar fully describes his needs. Even then, Amanu will first consider his request fully before volunteering any services.

'A short while?'. . . , thought Marcus, Looks like he hasn't seen port in years. Marcus looked dubiously at the other members of the squad. He instructed Theryndil to stand watch here outside the door while the rest of the squad went in to investigate.

 

[Mirth]

When was the last time he bathed? Chjargal thinks to himself as he enters the ship behind the others.

The entire lower deck is well-lit. There are continual light spells on objects throughout the vessel: here a lamp bracket, there a portion of the overhead.

At the bottom of the stairs is a hallway connecting the bridge and the cargo area, with doors on both sides leading to the cabins. Glancing iton the bridge, you see a plain, unadorned chair built from heavy, dark wood and a chart table. The navigational instruments and charts are covered with dust.

Terigmar points out the captain's cabin as his bedroom, and the opposite cabin as a storeroom and "overflow" library. Then he leads you into the cargo hold, refitted to make a comfortable, well laid-out laboratory. Three portholes down each side give a view of the phlogiston. There are tables and workbenches, all covered with unfinished experiements of one kind or another. Here a foul-smelling liquid bubbles over an alcohol burner; there a rock glows with a cold white light while a strange device next to it ticks sporadically.

"Well, Master Terigmar, it looks like you've got quite the lab here. I'm a bit of an alchemist myself..." He wrinkles his nose at the scent of the liquid on the alcohol burner. "I've got to say, I'm not familiar with that liquid. Very strong odor, that one." Akodo looks at Marcus quizzically, waiting to see if he wants the hengeyokai to be quiet. This is getting stranger and stranger.

 

[Keia]

Magic is definitely not my area, thought Marcus, and is this guy even alive? I guess if you wanted some solitude . . . but . . . just weird.

"So what can the Elven Navy help you with, sir?" Marcus asked. He then stated, "If you're fine and in no danger, then we should be on our way to continue our mission."

After hopefully making it clear that they weren't intending on staying but a few moments, Marcus then looked to Akodo and waved for him to continue to help if he could for the time we'd be here.
