Malvoisin's Savage Tide, Act 1 - There Is No Honor

Col curses the Lady of Fate and a few other choice spirits as well upon seeing the Nixie take sail. He searches to see if there are anyone on the pier, especially if they seem to be loading things, or if there are any boats in the water near the Nixie.

Col quickly takes a look around. The pier is empty right now, save for the PCs. There are a couple of rowboats tied up at on the side of the pier, but they are empty.

Gazing out across the water, Col doesn't see any other boats near the Blue Nixie.

"Arr. It do be look'n like our hand is be'n forced. I do not like it at all. But, if we be forced to wade into that, a cautious approach be best." The old man reaches into his coat to produce a small collection of what appear to be bones. Finger bones? Chicken bones? It is hard to tell. "Best to be sure to be what we fac'n." Then Col chants a few dark sounding words and cast the bones onto the pier.

OOC: omen of peril. Col wants to know how bad things are going to be if they rush onto the boat (which appears to be their only course of action currently).

Kalen heads down to the nearest boat and sees how it is secured. "Any of you practiced at sculling a rowboat? If we are to catch them before they sail into the sunset we need to head out quickly. With the sun setting and them busy making preparations we might even approach unnoticed."

"Chongo can make boat go." Chongo moves to the same rowboat that Kalen was headed towards.

"Keoni should swim to other side of boat. Be quiet. If we fight, everyone be ready."

Keoni nods at Chongo's statement and moves to get into the rowboat at an edge where he can slip away easily. He pauses for a second and looks back towards Col, awaiting word.

Kalen steps into the boat "So it looks like he found the ring and may be sailing off to the vault now wherever that might be." Kalen thinks and then says with the beginning of a smile. "Col might have some scroll paper and ink, anybody know Lord Isalaron's symbol?"

Anar leaps into the rowboat. "Come, my friends! Time is of the essence. Let us row quickly...we may yet be able to achieve the element of surprise."

As Col casts down the set of bones, his mind is filled suddenly with a vision. A large galleon sails upon dark waters in the midst of a thunderstorm. Lightning flashes in the sky, and the wind beats against the vessel's sails. Waves wash forcefully across the deck, yet the crew remains steadfast and determined. The ship maintains its course despite the storm.

As quickly as it came, the vision fades from Col's mind. The old archivist is left with the impression that dangers await, but that they should not be insurmountable.
