Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[J. Alexander]

Answering the Response

Soon after the Rumpled Bedsheet raises it's signal flags as response follows "Lord Vasa will arrive with a party of two within the hour" followed by the signal "Due you require any assistance?"

Forty minutes after the response, a party of three descend the walkway of the "Radiant Sun" Reaching the pier proper, the posted guards assume snap to attention and salute the group. The group then makes it way towards the "Rumpled Bedsheet" staying in the center of the walkway. As it nears it is obivious the lead figure is "Lord Vasa" and the idividuals to either side are simply an escourt. In appeareance Lord Vasa is 6'0 in height and perhaps about 150 pounds in weight and looks to be in his late twenites perhaps early thirties. His hair is raven black under which there is a pair of piercing emerald green eyes. Despite the title he is dressed rather simply in black breeches of linen with a snowy white linen shirt. A sleevless long coat of black linen (think or boromirs half coat in the FOTR) completes the outfit. The only visable weapon carried is that of a heavy mace located on his left side. The only vain thing about his entire ensemble is his jewlery. The cuff links on his shirt are of silver and gold with the "Radiant Sun" signet. On his left hand is a heavy antique signet pinkey ring made of gold nex to a heavy plain gold band with a small oval depeticting two entwing trees while this right hand has a heavy obsidian stone etched in gold ruine set ontop of a heavy gold band also etched with ruins.

Arriving at the gangplank entrance of the "Rumpled Bedsheet" he pauses briefly with a look of visiable curiosity and some what disbelife. He then stands to attention and places his hand over his heart in slaute to the "Bedsheet's" colors and announces in a rich tenor voice."Captain Vasa of the Radiant Sun request permisson to come aboard.

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.

OCC - Radoon is filling in as capt for right now.

"As long as there are places like this with sorcerers who need lackeys, there will be undead. I fear there will be more than enough for all of us to dispatch, if that is what you are into."

At this point, I am assuming the rest of the "officers" have joined us. Once all assembled, Radoon will make introductions, "Mingo, Anson," gesturing to each as he mentions the name, "This is Marianne (last name?), Terry Lockspar, Gnurl Whiskerling and you have already met H'Roosh."

OCC - Did I forget anyone?

"Now, what is it you would like to discuss?"

OCC - Todd give me a second with the current group first and then we will come and meet you.

Gnurl Whiskerling

At this point, I am assuming the rest of the "officers" have joined us. Once all assembled, Radoon will make introductions, "Mingo, Anson," gesturing to each as he mentions the name, "This is Marianne (last name?), Terry Lockspar, Gnurl Whiskerling and you have already met H'Roosh."

Gnurl, who is a bit less than average height for a gnome (3 feet 4 inches), steps forward and executes a sweeping, not too over-eggagerated courtly bow. "Madam, I cannot tell you how happy I am to meet someone here who is even more "height challenged" than myself!"

The Radiatn Sun

OCC: Just blame the DM he told me to post last night ...in fact i like that idea...why dont we just always blame the DM....

OCC: Just blame the DM he told me to post last night ...in fact i like that idea...why dont we just always blame the DM....

OOC: Might as well. I'm used to it at home.

OOC: Marienna's last name is also Lockspar, she is Terry's neice. They would have arrived promptly in the ward room to see what's up.

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling at Play

Gnurl, who is a bit less than average height for a gnome (3 feet 4 inches), steps forward and executes a sweeping, not too over-eggagerated courtly bow. "Madam, I cannot tell you how happy I am to meet someone here who is even more "height challenged" than myself!"

Mingo will jump down and return the bow to Gnurl, "Greetings Master Gnurl, how you been long alone among the big people? Are there truly no other normal-sized people here?"

OOC: Mingo just thinks everyone else is tall!

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling at Play

OCC - Radoon is filling in as capt for right now.

"As long as there are places like this with sorcerers who need lackeys, there will be undead. I fear there will be more than enough for all of us to dispatch, if that is what you are into."

At this point, I am assuming the rest of the "officers" have joined us. Once all assembled, Radoon will make introductions, "Mingo, Anson," gesturing to each as he mentions the name, "This is Marianne (last name?), Terry Lockspar, Gnurl Whiskerling and you have already met H'Roosh."

OCC - Did I forget anyone?

"Now, what is it you would like to discuss?"

"As a Wayward Warden of Yondalla, The Protector and Provider, the high deity of my people," repeats Mingo for the benefit of those newly arrived, "I travel the world helping people in need. We have recently left the dwarven mountains of Lanbadrig in the Shield Arm headed for the Wheelands when people, little people to you, on-board ship fleeing the 'Rest spoke of being rescued from strange undead that controlled their minds."

Mingo now continues, "Most of our work as Wayward Wardens is reactive. We go where the help was first needed yesterday. I want to change that by being more proactive. If there are more of these mind-controlling undead, they need to be destroyed." Looking at Radoon, Mingo continues, "You and Master Finn Hunter are currrently our only leads on these undead. My travelling companion and I are interested in hearing whatever you can tell us about these undead and where we might find more."

OOC: Mingo is a Sea Dog (per Scotley's campaign notes). You were addressed as Captain, so she will use the title until you say otherwise.

I'm not worrying about continuity right now, so there may be several conversations going on at the same time.

A "Little" Talk With Gnurl

Mingo will jump down and return the bow to Gnurl, "Greetings Master Gnurl, how you been long alone among the big people? Are there truly no other normal-sized people here?"
OOC: Mingo just thinks everyone else is tall!

"I have been some months among the super-sized. There may, indeed, be some of our ilk in the area somewhere, but I can't recall encountering any of them off-hand. My experience has been that these large specimens have an unfortunate tendency toward violence. It then falls, I presume, primarily to we more civilized just-right-sized folk, to properly manipulate any magic other than an enchanted weapon. PRIMARILY, I say again, not exclusively."

More Gnurl Talk

Gnurl will use his racial speak w/ animals ability to introduce himself and his owl familiar to Mingo's noble steed.

"Greetings, noble beast! May I present myself, Gnurl Whiskerling, Gnome Wizard at Small, and my winged companion, Featherwind. We trust that you have had a pleasant journey?"
