Gnurl Whiskerling - Undead Slayer
Before the group goes into harms way, Gnurl would like to say, "Fellows, before we get into combat with undead creatures who are much nastier than these zombies that we've been seeing, I need to use my Runestaff to put a spell on the melee weapon of our fiercest warrior. I can do that twice each day, if need be, but I'd really kinda like to sometimes use my most powerful spells instead of using the arcane energy to power the runestaff. As good as that rod can be, my spells can be even better, sometimes, but not against undead."

Gnurl Whiskerling - Another Question
Gnurl says, "Since we know that we'll be facing undead, why are we planning to begin the assault at dusk, when our ally the sun is just going down? The most powerful undead may well be much less dangerous in sunlight, and while we may well be below decks and out of direct sunlight, it still seems to me to be safer to at least be able to retreat to sunlight if we need to do so."
OOC: In fact, Gnurl is not so sure that he will be going forth to assault any undead at dusk, at night, or even if it is very cloudy! You guys do what seems right to you, but Gnurl isn't just chomping at the bit to join your suicide mission.

"Your point is well taken, my friend and rest assured I value every man's life and want to take advantage of every possible asset.
Let's make some definite plans now. It seems something beyond the wall has changed and I fear it may mean Allois has been moved or even killed. If that is the case, there is definitely no need to rush in. I am having the crew keep watch from the crow's nest all night to see if there are any changes during the night. I am particularly interested in seeing if any humans come into the compound at morning and leave at days end. If this is the case, this would allow us an exceptional opportunity to purchase information. If not, I think creating a hole in the wall would allow enough of a distraction that we could enter from the opposite side possibly unnoticed to explore the remaining vessels."
OCC - Scott, what is the structural makeup of the wall, at least what can we tell from the outside and see of the other side from the crow's nest? If we purchased a canon would it blow a hole in the wall, at least would it if there is no magical barrier?

Gnurl Whiskerling
Gnurl says, "So let us now survey the contours of the wall of ships and see where the best locations are for both the distraction and the breach of which you speak, Radoon. Then we can withdraw, since it will already be far into the night by the time we finish doing so, and we should take tomorrow and tomorrow evening to rest as well, and then we will be better prepared to make the final assault on the following morning. Does this sound reasonable? Poor Allois has been waiting for so long already that I do not think that another day will matter as far as he is concerned, but if someone has information to the contrary, then this would be a fine time to share it with us! And an extra day may favor our endeavor greatly in some unexpected way as well."

"I agree that taking the time to prepare well should only benefit us - especially given the number of undead we've seen in the compound. Gnurl, your suggestion of waiting until the day after tomorrow seems good to me, and I like the idea of breaching the wall where we are NOT going in as a distraction as well, Radoon."

Inquiries about the "Rumpled Bedsheet"
Towards evening, a heavily armed man dressed in dark brown, accompanied by a small humanoid wearing a yellow-green saffron cloak riding a solid tan riding dog, is seen leaving Salty Bills for the docks. They make inquiries about the "Rumpled Bedsheet" and arrive at its empty berth. Not seeing the ship, they return to Salty Bills before retiring to an inn for the night.
[sblock=Scotley]Mingo decides that with the ship absent they should clean up a bit from their journey before finding Radoon and Finn Hunter to inquire about the events at the Masque. Mingo will return to Salty Bills and ask Annora to recommend an inn for the night, telling her that the ship is not at dock presently, but they will return to the berth the next morning. At the inn, Mingo and Anson will get ajoining rooms, if possible. Mingo will survey her supplies, clean her armor and weapons, bathe, brush her hair, and pray for spells. Anson will bathe, clean his armor and weapons, brush Mig's coat, and pray for his spells. Early the next morning, Mingo, Anson, and Mig will eat a light breakfast at the inn and head back to the dock to the berth of the "Rumpled Bedsheet".
