PSS #29: The Devil We Know (Pt.1) - Shipyard Rats

[jkason]

Kade sheathes his weapon, after wiping off the rat blood that had accumulated on it. Before leaving, the warrior leans in close to the auctioneer, whispering "Creighton Nish, was he with those who were taken on the ship?"

Baliere turns his attention to the auctioneer at the mention of the name, though he says nothing else.

OOC: Go

 

[HolyMan]

Kade wears a grim experssion as the group heads to the far ends of the docks and the Prancing Prince. The auctionner didn't know anyone named Nish, but there were others taken and he could have been with them.

The sun is starting to set and streaks of red and orange are starting to lace the clouds as you approach the Prancing Prince.

A tri-masted galleon, the Prancing Prince appears to be in good condition and floats lazily against its mooring along a wide, crate- and barrel-filled dock. No one appears to be aboard her, however, and the standard watch typically found at the gangplank of a docked ship is nowhere to be seen. Atop her bowsprit is a gaudily painted wooden man that appears to be the exact likeness of the Grand Prince of Taldor, Stavian III, hands on his hips, a huge smile across his face, and his legs bent as though he were dancing a jig. ​

[sblock=OOC] It is easy to get aboard as the gang plank is down as if awaiting visitors. [/sblock]​

"Now this doesn't seem ominous at all," Baliere whispers, voice dripping with sarcasm. He readies his crossbow before the group hops aboardship.

 

[PeteZero]

Kronk nods and grins, taking out his battle axe. "I probably need it," he whispers, making sure he can readily throw a bomb if necessary as well.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Ingio draws a dagger as he approaches with the others. He also checks the bomb components in his bandoleer. He holds his silence, though he grins with excitement at the words of his fellow Pathfinders.

 

[HolyMan]

The deck was recently scrubbed clean and

still shows remnants of soap bubbles and puddles of water. It is otherwise deserted and completely dark.

[sblock=OOC] That's all it gives me and I don't know if I'm allowed to add more. But for the sake of moving along there is a door to the stern and one in the bow. Two trap doors lead to the deck below. [/sblock]

Baliere Duldrem, human cleric

"Covering tracks?" he whispers to the others. "Looks like we'll need to go below to see anything more. I'm no good at picking locks or spotting traps, I'm afraid."

 

[PeteZero]

Kronk shrugs, "I will go ahead, no risk, no fun," and moves carefully (move silently) across the gang plank onto the deck.

 

[HolyMan]

The ship is quiet as the group files onto the deck of the Prancing Prince. Except for the creaking of the rigging the ship is silent.

[sblock=OOC] Ok just need to know which door

A) Bow
B) Stern
C) deck door bow
D) deck door stern

[/sblock]

 

[PeteZero]

Kronk first carefully approaches the stern, but making sure, that the othes follow him.
