Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Radoon

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 Radoon and Finn Hunter. I was told by Annora at Salty Bills that they are aboard."

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.

The "Sheet glides into its berth and two men deboard to meet the strangers. One is a 50 some year old male, aging well. Gray hair, loose fitting plaid shirt and woolen pants. He seems to carry only two daggers, one on each hip. As this older fellow walks down the plank, he looks at the other questioningly.

OCC - I will give Mike time to chime in here.

As Radoon is about 1/2 way down to meet the stranger he hears, "Captain!!" ring out from the crow's nest. As he looks to his sailor he sees the sailor is pointing to a ship off in the distance. "She is asking to meet with us, she says it's urgent!"


Radoon will look at H"Roosh, "Seems we are in high demand today." To the sailor, "Run up the 'come aboard' flag.

H'Roosh - Chiming In

H'Roosh is tall and muscular (6'5", 225 lbs). His skin is a very pale green, his eyes the green of the sea, and his hair is the dark green of a healthy kelp bed. He wears his hair shaved around the sides and back, but this is normally difficult to see because he wears it so long from the top that it hangs down to the middle of his back. He is festooned with beautiful tattoos. A sea turtle almost completely covers his chest and abdomen, a kraken hides his back and its tentacles wrap around him and twine down his arms from his shoulders to the backs of his hands. The serpentine bodies of twin sea dragons start at his hips and spiral sinuously down his legs, ending on the tops of his feet. Finally, rarely seen is the tattoo of a shark's lower jaw and teeth which extends from temple to temple around the back of his head.

H'Roosh wears a pair of cotton/canvas trews, loose fitting and hanging to mid-calf. They are held up with a simple rope belt. His torso is covered by a sharkskin vest. His 'ornamentation' consists of simple leather bracers and greaves, a plain leather headband (worn under his hair so that it shows only across his forehead), and a torc made of silver set with a large jade sea turtle. He also wears a thick ring fashioned from a solid piece of jade and carved in intricate cloud patterns.

He carries no visible weapons.

Gnurl Whiskerling. OOC

Gnurl takes careful note of the signals and flags being used for ship-to-ship communication. He is beginning to lay the ground work that will culminate in 1 or 2 ranks of Profession (sailor) at his next level. And he also would like to being familliarizing himself with the ship's steering controls and charts in preparation for adding a rank or 3 of Profession (navigator) as well.

Your move

OOC: Post 1565 has been undated to take Mingo's knowledge of Captain Radoon's title and presence into account. I believe it's Radoon's turn.

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.

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

Radoon greets Mingo with a simple nod and to her compliment, "I had a lot of help"
"Finn is not available at the moment", looking to H'Roosh, "This is my friend H'Roosh, another of the Sheet's officers." Looking to the entire party, "please come aboard to discuss your business."

Turning partially towards Anson and Mig, Mingo states, "This big person is my travelling companion Anson, and this is his guard dog Mig. May they accompany me aboard, Captain Radoon?"

"Certainly"

Radoon will motion for H'Roosh to lead the way aboard and he will follow the entire group. Once they are onboard, he will instruct the nearest crew member to take up the plank and state, "Let me know when a representative from the Radiant Sun has arrived. Also please have Marianne, Gnurl and Terry joins us in the boardroom." He will then take the lead and lead the party to the boardroom.

Once they are onboard,

Once onboard, Mingo addresses Anson and rubs Mig behind the ears as they walk, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it. At least this ship is docked."

 

[mleibrock]

Radoon

Once below Radoon will say, "I would like to wait until the rest of the officers are present before we begin discussing business." Radoon will make pleasant small talk until the others arrive. "Where are your from that you have heard of our misadventures? What breed of dog is this, it is like nothing I have seen..."

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling at Play

Once below Radoon will say, "I would like to wait until the rest of the officers are present before we begin discussing business." Radoon will make pleasant small talk until the others arrive. "Where are your from that you have heard of our misadventures? What breed of dog is this, it is like nothing I have seen..."

Anson will sit on the outside with Mingo on the inside. Anson speaks, "Mig is a Boerboel, a breed from the Mastiff line. The purer the breed, the more solid the color. Most Boerboels are trained as guard dogs. They are very family-friendly, unlike attack dogs. Mig is a specially trained riding dog. Mig and I like to track together across solid ground." Anson frowns as he mentions land.

Mingo grins as Anson frowns, "Captain, H'Roosh, you will have to forgive Anson. He is not as comfortable on water as we are. He was much happier in the mountains.

If you have encountered many 'people,' I suppose 'little people' to you, you may recognize the cornucopeia as the symbol of Yondalla, The Protector and Provider, the high deity of my people. I am a Wayward Warden, one who travels around helping people in need. We have recently left the mountains of Lanbadrig in the Sword Shield Arm headed for the Wheelands when people on-board ship fleeing the 'Rest spoke of being rescued from strange undead that controlled their minds."

Mingo grows grim as she reflects on her own words, "We came to see if there are any more of these undead." At this point, Mingo pulls a silver ball out of her pocket and begins rolling it around in her hands. As she rolls the ball, her mood lightens.

"Captain Radoon, did you destroy all of the undead?"

OOC: I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
