Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[J. Alexander]

Meetings

"No Master Radoon, he has not. The Radiant Sun has been sent by the Church to aid one of it's faitful and to deal with these abonomations" Geoffrey then ads "It was merely requested that I sail to "Mermaids Rest" and offer what aid I could."

Radoon

Radoon ponders Geoffry's usefulness and how he may be able to use this to their advantage.

OCC - I am going to give Mingo a chance to put in any comments here. Or any of the rest of the 'officers' for that matter.

Gnurl Whiskerling

[sblock=to the Water Elemental]OOC: Sorry, Scotley, I just now saw the elemental's response to Gnurl. IC: "I see. But what about if I also summoned an air elemental at the same time, and had the two of you combine your efforts? You would be required to move me beneath the water, while the air elemental would be required to encapsulate me in a pocket of air while you did so. Have you ever done anything like this before? Whether you have or not, what does your elemental intuition tell you about its chances of success?" [/sblock]

"As the group moves topside, Mingo asks Gnurl, "Are you able to avoid direct combat by hiding among the big people?"

To Mingo, Gnurl replies, "That is an intriguing idea, but one that I had not before considered. Truly, although I was, early on in my career, careful to equip myself with the skills and tools of combat," here Gnurl pats his trusty enchanted morning star that hangs ready at his side, "I have never, not even on one occasion mind you, used my morning star, or any other physical weapon, with harmful intent since I joined this crew. I have been very fortunate in that I have, so far, found the use of my spells to be more than adequate to the task at hand."

Then, to Radoon and Geoffrey, Gnurl says, "Good Captains! What must we do? Are the government and private officials going to be a help or a hindrance to our cause? I am reminded of an ancient proverb that I once heard, let's see, it was a list of the three biggest lies in existence, now how did it go? Oh, yes - "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." This may suggest that we are facing serious time constraints for getting our endeavor underway. Or, conversely, it may portend that great help may soon arrive and we should wait awhile longer. I am, personally, a bit doubtful about the second course of action, but what say our Captains?"

Mingo Frasse, Water Halfling at Play

Nodding his head to each of the others as they are introduced by Radon,

Mingo will bow to Geoffrey as she is introduced. Anson will follow Mingo's lead.

[sblock=Scotley]Has Mingo heard of Geoffrey? Do Mingo and Geoffrey hold any relative position to each other, same deities, etc.? knowledge(religion) check for Geoffrey Vasa (1d20+6=26)

What about Anson, as they are both from the Shield Arm? knowledge (local-Landbadrig) check for Geoffrey Vasa (1d20+6=25)

"Your aid in this endeavor will be greatly appreciated, Captain Vasa. If all of the might behind that wall were brought to bear against us, I suspect we'd have been flotsam 'ere morning. A new friend with excellent timing - and a strong arm. Welcome to our cause.

Friend Gnurl, I suspect you are correct. Men seek to contain and rule what they cannot understand, trying to wrap the law of nature in bindings of words and usually confusing the issues completely. I say these creatures who have our friend's son are abominations against Nature's law, and must be destroyed."

To H'Roosh, "I agree that we have waiting long enough and to allow more time to pass would unnecessarily put Allois in danger. H'Roosh, Gnurl, Marianne, and Terry may I speak with you all in private for just a minute?" To Geoffry and Mingo, "Would you please excuse us for just a minute or two?"

Radoon will lead the the 'officers' below decks, "I am a bit leary to disclose our plans for tomorrow. We could definitely use the help and I feel fairly confident they are on the up and up but I am not yet 100% convinced, How do you feel?"

"Captain Radoon, do your nostrils detect any stench of death from these folk? In my opinion, any priest or priestess of any god who honors life is a welcome ally in our endeavor, and friends of theirs are, likewise, more friends of ours than friends of our enemies. Now, if you will excuse me, sir, I have a promise to fulfill to the dutiful canine steed of Mistress Mingo!"

Whereupon Gnurl will visit the galley and inquire of the 'Sheet's cook for any scraps of meat or meat trimmings that he may have available to serve as dogfood, and a suitable bowl for use as table service for the erstwhile hound.

"You are perhaps right about the other Aid, Magician Gnurl, it will most likely be pondereous and full of officials trying to investigate the matter thus complicating your mission. As to your other thought, yes a delay could well result in the dark forces spiriting Master Allois once again" Geoffrey says. Addressing H'Roosh in turn he simpley says "What aid i can bring to bear depends on your plan and your request. Put Simply, I can either assist you in storming this compound of which you speak with brute force or aid in seeking another less obivivous route into it's midst. In my experience, there always seems to be numerous bolt holes for the villians to flee when justice comes calling" In response to Mingo nod, Geoffrey will over a slight bow.

As Radoon request a moment alone with his officers he says "Certainly Master Radoon, take what time you need"

 

[Scotley]

OOC: What was served for the last meal in the 'Sheet's galley? Any chance that I can lay my gnomish hands on some leftover meat scaps?

OOC: Some bits of boiled salt beef should be available.

[sblock=Gnurl]I will attempt such a thing if you command it, but I have never met an elemental of air, so I could not speak intelligently of their abilities.[/sblock]
