Erekose's Savage Tide - Act 1: There is No Honour

[Manzanita]

"I think we should prepare for direct action. Tereg, have you noticed how they get their supplies? Does the whole ship dock, or do they send in a rowboat? Ambushing the crew of the rowboat would be great, but if they go out and return in broad daylight, that would be tricky. I think we should look into getting a small boat for ourselves. Something we could row out there at night & try to surprise them."

"The fact that they're anchored in the bay means they're paranoid, I would think. They are likely to have guards posted. And there might be too many for us to take. If we do attack, we should be ready to retreat if it looks bad." says Julian.

"Jerrell, so you know where we could get a boat? I hate to say this, but we might be better off 'borrowing' one. That way if we we do have to flee, they might have a harder time tracing who attacked them. Plus, I don't know if we could afford to buy one."

Tereg does not have any information on any comings and goings on board the ship, he did not observe any at least. It may be possible to spot some during the day as the ship remains anchored in the harbor. He can confirm that there were at least 3 thugs on deck at any one time, though they were not always the most observant from what he saw. He also knows that there are a few small boats that could be borrowed in the area late at night.

(OOC: Alright, not optimal, but we'll have to make do)

During the day Jerrel gets a hold of the spiked shield he has been looking for finding it easier to come by in the armories near the arena. Tereg returns to his job at his aunt's inn and helps out after sleeping in. Julian and Nathan visit their usual haunts (gathering information?). All the while, Alix plots his date.

ooc: let me know if you want to skip to that now?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: I do--in the intervening time, much of Alix's extra preparation and spare time includes gathering dirt on Rowyn and Vanthus)

That Vark was a smuggler was no big news to Julian. Clearly this Vark character was bad news all around. Blackmail probably didn't have time to be effective at this point.

"Jerrell, do you think its worth while to check out the Plucked Parrot? Maybe we'd meet Vanthus. I'm not sure what I'd say to him if I saw him, but maybe I'd think of something. It might be dangerous though. I'd prefer not to go myself."

OOC: Hopefully we could do this encounter simutaneously with Alix's. If there's even an encounter to play out with that line of investigation...

 

[Erekose13]

ooc: love to, I was trying to prod for something to RP with the others while taking Alix's date off in spoilers.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Cool! Psst--if you find Vanthus and you get the chance, try to capture him. Alix and I still think he killed his parents)

Jerrell nods "It worth a try." he tells.

"Someone should still watch Vark's ship. But the rest of us," Julian winks, "Let's have a nice night out on the town. At the Plucked Parrot of course. We'll have a drink and try to relax. Maybe we'll pick up some info. But let's not push it. We have no legal authority, and we have a job to do elsewhere. I don't want to get any of us killed or thrown in the tank."

OOC: I'm thinking Nathan or Tereg should watch the ship. The other might accompany us.
