For More Than Glory

[Memnus]

"Maybe we can get a look at the schedule of ships incoming tomorrow. It's possible that his ship in from Marzen will be in during the day, and he'll lie low until nightfall. If we can catch him then and there, before he even gets to the Silver Fin..." He glances at Delwin. "There may be more than one ship in from Marzen, though.... we'd have to watch the docks, then trail him as he gets where he's goin. Think you can do that?"

Valdir speaks up, looking at the fingernails he is trimming, "You know, some brave soul really ought to pull that damn ring from his finger while he is still conscious so we don't have to do this all over again..."

 

[Rish]

Kirran looks over at Valdir as he picks himself up from the grass and dusts himself off. "Didn't Fleck already say enchantments like that are hard to set, and the man doesn't seem powerful enough to do it himself? It's not my type of work, but I'd agree... I'm not too worried about that ring tripping us up again."

He stretches lazily and scrubs his fingers through his hair. "Anyway, we'd better get going to this Silver Fin place, see what we can see. Fleck, you ready?"

 

[Memnus]

"Yep." He scoops up Bristletail and scratches the fox behind the ear. "Once we're near, though, I'll need to find some place to hide to emerge as not myself, though. Changing form in the middle of the street is not good, er, form."

 

[Rish]

"Let's get going, then. It won't be hard to find somewhere to hide for a moment - docks can be like warrens sometimes." He gives the group a jaunty wave and makes off in the direction of the docks.

Valdir shrugs at Rish's comment "Suit yourself. I'll follow shortly behind you two and give you some help. No offense, but if that mage spots you, I doubt you two can handle him alone. I'll probably walk in, see if he is there and then pick a spot out of the way to keep an eye on things. Give me a signal if you want to meet me outside in the alley. If he shows up, I'll discreetly go outside we'll try and trap him."

 

[Memnus]

"His boat doesn't even get in until tomorrow. What could possibly go wrong?" He chuckles, and follows Kirran.

Rolf returns from his hunting and foraging foray with a large game bird, a gourd, some tubers, and a handful of sour berries, only to find that most of the group had already left. Valdir explains where they went and the points of conversation that had been discussed. Rolf mulls over this for a moment.

"Well, Fleck and Kirran had been talking about scouting the place out, so no surprise there."

"We need to be careful of making things too complicated, for then there are more things to go wrong. Even you and Delwin can be spotted, as we've discovered. I'm more in favor of dealing with him there and then, rather than trying to follow him somewhere. I'm going to step out on a limb and guess this inn is probably used to brawls and feuds anyway."

"Like Fleck, I think that maybe the man could have been dealt with, but I was neither there nor was I the one poisoned, so who am I to judge?"

"Tuber?"

 

[firehorse]

Valdir nods quietly and accepts the tuber. "True, we might have been able to strike a deal, but....bah! I just couldn't bring myself to let him go so easily after trying to kill us, personal or not. I was more tempted to just light him up with one of my 'special' arrows here." Pointing to the second quiver he now carries.

Valdir chuckles after a bit. "What could go wrong? Hehe. His boat may not be in until tomorrow, but that doesn't mean he is arriving on it. He may be waiting for whatever cargo it carries. I'd rather be close to those two just in case." With that he picks up his bow and follows them into town.
