[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 5460109, member: 21938"] [sblock=Xoria] Well versed in the verbal fencing of the courts of Zor, Xoria has little difficulty dealing with Punketah. He seems to be angling mainly for magic techniques, and initially isn't certain that she was responsible for the illusion. Although he holds himself up as the only civilised man on board, his cabin tastefully decorated, he may have more carnal designs on Xoria's company too. For his own part, Punketah is equally cagey about his origins, hinting at an earlier life in the city of Sardonyx, between the Wastes of Gizan and the Forest of K'Dakra in the east. He claims that his magic comes from the gods of the east, names that Xoria associates with demons; names like Kesh the Jewelled Serpent, Engala, Gatherer of Darkness and Akresh, the Thunder on the Mountain. There is little she can glean concerning the situation in Zor, other than the fact that Overlord Corran has clawed his way to a position of supreme power over the other noble families by bribing, assassinating and blackmailing his rivals out of the way. The ship, currently, is in the open sea between the northern part of the great archipeligo and the southern shores of the northern continent. It is about a week either way until landfall.

"We've got a storm comin' in fast, there's no time for throwin' blame, get to work you poor excuses for sailors." Grumbling, Bjorn and his followers begin to prepare for storm conditions. Although Sigurd tries to skirt around the storm in rolls in fast, rain lashing the growing swells of the sea as the [I]Sea Ghost[/I] is tossed this way and that by the fury of the weather.

[sblock=OOC] You have a couple of rounds to prepare before the razor-gull swarm is upon you. Olmar and Vela have never heard of razor-gulls, Xoria knows that they are large seabirds with sharp bills and a nasty temper at the best of times, but usually only attack humans if they are near their nests or if they are scavenging food.
