When the throng subsided, Gunthar spotted crystal blights on the move toward them, and he turned and hustled the townsfolk away from the danger, until at last, they found themselves near the docks.* * *As Delphine exited the Drunken Seagull in frustration at her plan being foiled, Phlox took the measure of the hippo-folk sailor. He was surprised to find that the fellow regarded him curiously, with no recognition of the meaning behind his mask. Where was this man from that he did not recognize the servants of Incabulos?Fortunately, his words worked, in quite the opposite fashion to his expected musings as he'd entered the tavern. The hippo-man's ears flickered and he said, "Disease, you say? How terrible! No, we would not want to be left behind."He loudly banged on the table and hollered, "Captains' orders! Shore-leave is cancelled! Let us all return to our ships. You lot - no lollygagging! Out in orderly fashion, eh?"While much of the tavern were filled with patrons from other ships, they all knew the call of a petty officer. There were moans and curses, but the singing stopped immediately, and even the drunks stood up wobblily and made their way out the door. The proprietor, standing behind the counter shot Phlox a dark look, but dared not say anything to him - the respect for the mask that Plox had expected.* * *Nic had accompanied the captain as she headed for her ship, and he stayed out of sight of any trouble at all - be it riotous townsfolk, crystal blights, or twisting vines with anthropomorphic intentions. Even Captain Sartell herself was unaware that he had followed her, and she was surprised to find him by her side when she finally reached pier four.[ooc]Return soon with the start of the next scene, and the overall results of the challenge.[/ooc]</blockquote>
