Gnurl wasn't invited to meet and greet, so he'll stay on the ship and do his water elemental summoning while they're gone.
 

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling

Radoon calls for the ship to dock in it's berth. H'Roosh and Radoon will exit to meet the stranger.

A they reach the edge of the dock, the small humanoid has left the saddle of the riding dog and stands in front of the man and the dog, presenting herself. Recognizing H'Roosh as a member of a water race, Mingo bows slightly, "Blessings be upon you in the name of Istishia, the Water Lord. We are all made of water, may the water purify us."

Straightening herself, she continues, "I am Mingo Frasse, a Wayward Warden of Yondalla, The Protector and Provider. I wish to speak with Masters you, Captain Radoon, and Master Finn Hunter. I was told by Annora at Salty Bills that they are aboard. about the strange undead you fought recently. Your bravery in saving people from these undead speak highly of you. News of your valor is spreading outward from here."

Mingo will then face the two expectantly.

Mingo stands 3 feet tall with a slim build. She has long black hair with a blue-green sheen in the sunlight. Her skin is pale, and she has large black eyes. She is dressed in light blue, wearing armor under her yellow-green saffron cloak. He round darkwood shield has the image of a cornucopeia on it. A small silver shield with a cornucopeia hangs on her neck. Mingo wears two small daggers on her belt. A closer look shows black pearl earrings set in silver and several rings on her fingers.

The man dressed in dark brown is over twice Mingo's height and appears human. He wears a breastplate and carrys two swords at his belt with a composite long bow and quiver over his shoulder. He is clean shaven and has a squarish face topped with curly dark hair. The solid tan dog sits on the dock with a military saddle on its back. The dog is larger than Mingo and many times her weight.

OOC: Island Empire Characters are here.

I admit to stealing part of the Istishia greeting off the Internet.

The Radiant Sun

As morning breaks fair a heavy frigate some 45 feet in the beam and 120 feet long sails towards the "Rest" Catching a look at it from a glass one would see a ship constructed of teak which has been highlly polished and laqured so as to glow. It's single sail is made of heavy black silk upon which a a silver and golden sun can be seen Two smaller post can be seen both in front of in behind the main mast upon which rest two heavy silver and gold ship's laterns (two per mast..one port/one starboard). The crew is oddly dressed though with half being in tradionaly sailor's attire of breeches and shirts while the other half appear to be in short working robes. Oddly enough to the observer the seem to work in pairs of one robed figure and one sailor type. To the sharp eye, glints of steel can be seen from marine guards pacing it's deck with long spears and the fighting platforms in the mast appear to be manned with crossbowmen. Closing in on the main port two broad penneats break from the mast followed by a series of convential signal flags. The top most penneat is that of the Church while the one underneath is a black field with a silver/gold sunburst. The signal flags read "Attention "Rumpled Bedsheet" urgently request a meeting at the earliest convience, please reply by same sign or by signal gun"

The ship continues it's course until it reaches the main pier/dock area of "The Rest". As mooring lines are attached and the gangplank lowered a squad of five marines come onto the pier area. Two stand to either side of the gangplank, one goes to both the bow and stern leaving the fifth man, obivious a non com, to be the rover. A simple observation shows another squad ready to respond on the main deck to any altercation as well as the crosbowmen in the fighting platforms.

When the posting of the guard has been completed a party of five depart the ship and move along the main dock areas posting notices. The notices read.."Those whishing to attend services may do so each day at both 9am and 3pm aboard the "Radiant Sun" Further, should healing or aid be needed then those wishing the help of the Church may request such aid at anytime" Having posted the notices, the party returns to the ship.

OCC: I need the link to the rogues's gallery so i can post Geoffrey which should be thursday when i get my memory stick back.

OCC: The changes are in color.

Gnurl Whiskerling

Gnurl is amazed by this odd, slightly frightening new ship that has appeared. He looks questioningly at the sailor waving two signal flags in some peculiar series of signs.

OOC: are they in range of a Message cantrip?

Gnurl's message to 'The Radiant Sun'

ooc: forgive me, Kind Mr. DM, but I had to fudge a little bit for this. Didn't have Message memorized before, so I switched one. Ooops! Ouch! Hey!! ok, ok, ok, I'll never do it again! sheesh

ic: Gnurl weaves arcane energy into a short Message that he transmits across to the deck of the 'Radiant Sun': "Ahoy, Radiant Sun! I don't understand your signal flags, but we are friendly and our captain would seek a parlay with your captain"
 

The Radiant Sun

As the messeage reaches to the decks of the "Radiant Sun" a voice sends back "All are welcome aboard this ship or if you need aid we will come to you" after a brief pause another messeage is sent.."The signal flags read...."Attention "Rumpled Bedsheet" urgently request a meeting at the earliest convience, please reply by same sign or by signal gun"......do you perhaps know where my Lord may find this ship"
