"I don't like dividing the party any more than we absolutely have to. We don't have time to try to hire on as artisans - they could be killing the prisioners as we speak.

Finn, I don't like charging in to a trap either, but like even less the idea of one or two of us charging in to the trap while the rest wait. If you and Rook insist on going in alone, I have a potion which will allow us some communication, at least.

Whatever we're going to do, we have to do now."

"You've been an able leader to date, Captain - I'm content to leave the final decision to you. I do tend to stand out somewhat in the daylight, so if we're not going to wait until dark I'm happy to attend with the rest of the crew. However, if Finn still wishes to enter in advance I will definitely accompany him. It's always good to have a trusted companion at your back."

Thomas River interrupts the meeting. "Begging your pardon, but there is a rather dapper looking Gnome out here to see you. Says his name is Nurl Whiskerling and that Captain Marin sent him."
Nurl Whiskerling reminds you somewhat of a joker from a deck of
cards. He's very small, (3',7") and of average build (maybe about
70#?), and he's dressed in a bright red tunic over a close-
fitting, purple shirt, and brilliant yellow trousers. He wears a
wide-brimmed cloth hat that matches his purple shirt. On his back
is a well-worn leather haversack. In his belt are two wicked-
looking wavy-edged daggers, and in his hand he carries a dark
colored oaken staff that is suitably short, which is to say it
matches his frame.

Nurl says, "Hello, fellas, mind if I join you?"

"Please do. Do you have any word from Captain Marin? How does he fare?
I did not have the chance to speak to him about such things. He looked okay to me. Very tall, you know!
 

"gnosh" for a gnome?

Do any of you tall gentlemen have any spare snacks? I work up an appetite just THINKING about how much work it's going to be to keep up with you long-legged dudes!
 

G'Nosh for a G'nome

One of the men in the room gets up. He is an older lanky sailor with bloodshot eyes and the red veined nose of serious drinker, though he seems sober enough this morning. He wears canvas trousers, a loose shirt and rope sandals. "Certainly, we can arrange something for you mister Wiskerling. Perhaps a little something to wet the whistle as well..." At this last a firey redheaded human woman shoots him a harsh glance and he adds, "I think there is some tea brewing." He moves to the door and passes some orders to a sailor.

[sblock=For Nurl only]From previous dealings with Marin and son, you recognise the man as Terry Lockspar, Marin's right hand man. By reputation you'd guess the woman to be Terry's daughter Marienna.[/sblock]

Rook

"Welcome, Mr. Whiskerling! My name's Rook. Please let us know what we need to do to get you up to speed on our mission so far."

The speaker is 6' 4", and weighs about 225. His skin, straight hair and eyes are black. He's dressed in leather leggings and a breechcloth, and carries a hand and a half sword on his back and a pair of fighting sticks at his waist. He speaks with a soft accent, sort of a rolling burr.

OOC: There's a picture in the Characters thread if you're interested
 

Thankee

Thank you, Mr. Lockspar, Mr. Rook! Mr. Lockspar, tea sounds lovely! I wonder if, perhaps, you might also be able to lay hands on a wee bite of toast and jam for a famished gnome?

Mr. Rook, any information that you could offer would be much appreciated. I have heard some tales of your exploits, of course (you are a quite famous lot of fellows, you know) but I'm a trifle behind on my current events today.
 

character thread?

ooc- I've looked everywhere for a "characters" thread, but I can't seem to find it. Give me a hint?? -Leif
