[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 1852096, member: 7006"] The harsh cries of the birds off the side of the airship reverberate through Massif's ears. He goes over and climbs the right-hand side staircase to the top of the stern, so that he can look out over the edge to the lands below, as well as look back to all the crew and fellow party members below him. [I]This is ridiculous. Why do I do this? Making enemies all over again, eh you stupid dwarf? Maybe the human is right... maybe I need to stop worrying about myself and instead keep my mind and heart ready. You ARE a warrior for Host's sake... why don't you start acting like one?[/I] Deciding that perhaps it IS in fact time to take a pro-active stance, even if he doesn't truly believe it's necessary, Massif calls out to some of his fellow guards. [COLOR=Red]'This is a good ship, my fellows! Lots of quality vantage points. Are any of you experts in the bow? If so, you may want to come up here and check this area out... I think you'll find it most helpful in finding quality shot.'[/COLOR] He takes quick glance to his left as he sees a number of ropes tied off to the rail and strung up to the masts above him. [COLOR=Red]'If any one you have any nautical experience, you'll probably be able to take advantage of the ropes to move up there'[/color] ...he point to the mast above, [COLOR=Red]'and get some REALLY good shots.'[/COLOR] Massif moves back to the staircase and begins his descent from the stern to the deck, then wanders over to the door of the captain's quarters.
