With supernatural quickness, his captain placed a tankard in front of him. He had apparently forgotten how quick the master was, but was obviously glad that the way he had been reminded meant no permanent damage to his person, excepting the bit to his pride and the soreness to his rump.Taking a pull off his mead, he tried to pay attention to the captain's discussion of repairs needed for the Mayhem and the route tomorrow and the prize they sought. But there was clearly something nagging his subconscious awareness, some detail out of place in the room. He kept scanning the room with his peripheral vision, hoping not to be noticed.Looking around, it was plain when he spotted the reason. Reading his features, the shipmate next to him asked under his breath, "What is it Torgard? you should pay more attention, Gorlan and Fahlen will be back at any minute. When they do, the cap'n will get out the map and want us to listen up."Tor quietly responded under his breath, "Aye, see there, that man at the bar. Tis' the famous pirate Yens Hafulfen, former boatswain of the Sea Wyvern. 'Ee could 'ave been one o' the great sea lords, but 'ee chose to remain a sailor instead. I been a sailor a'fore a sky pirate, and I 'ave ken o' the legendary Sea Lords of the eastern coa'rst." As if searching his memory, he continued, "Ee, wot boatswain fer 'is mates even when 'is skills bettered 'em all. Turned down a captainship and 'ee claimed it was fer the love o' the ropes and the sail. Men before the mast saw 'im as a hero. Captains saw 'im as a nuisance. A reckless and dangerous legend to have circa'latin' amongst a crew."Gorian and Fahlen approached the table from outside and Tor turned his face to listen to the captain but shifted his eye toward Yens from time to time. Suddenly, when the thrown table sailed past them he reached for his dagger and snapped his head around to search for Yens. His dagger was gone. More importantly Yens, who he was looking right at, disappeared as well! The girl he was speaking with had a stunned look as if she has just been kissed![sblock=OOC, Init 35, AC 79 or 83, invisible, elevated ] <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1607457/" target="_blank">Init = 35</a> Yens gives the pickpocket he was chatting up a quick peck on the cheek (move action?), shifts-out (free), activates his ring (standard; lasts for 3 minutes or until he attacks), activates balance on the sky stance (swift), steps away on an ascending diagonal to give him elevation and to give him room to swing a cat (5ft move), quickdraws his chain (free), shifts all of its enhancement to AC (free), and uses combat expertise full (free). 79 = 64 + 10 + 5. All done during the first round of actions. Additionally, if he notices the samurai as a threat, he will assign her his melee dodge bonus. Otherwise he will choose the barbarian, I guess. (+4 melee dodge to AC vs one opponent).[/sblock]OOC are we supposed to take it one round at a time or post several rounds deep as Vertexx69 had done?</blockquote>
