Message: <blockquote data-quote="Urko" data-source="post: 2272091" data-attributes="member: 30822">A journey interruptedOOC: Glad you all got yourselves introduced and sorted out the somewhat confusing timing. Thanks for bearing with my absence over the weekend, but now the run of the play I'm in is underway and I no longer have to spend every waking moment preparing for it. On with the game! A couple clarifications: The package from DiCorsos' was delivered to your hotel room the night before, shortly after Erin, Sanae, and Xavier got back (forgot to mention that before). Also, in reference to Erin's comment about "looking out to sea," you're traveling upriver, not on the ocean. As the day passes, the stifling wet heat begins to overwhelm even the stiff breeze generated by your rapid progress. The initial flood of coversation, comparison of notes, and planning passes and the humans lapse into a dull torpor. 'he has no name' is silent as always, and Eff Flat seems to be engrossed in listening to the cacophanous song of the elemental ring. He is the first to notice a decreasing of its shreik. He rouses the rest of the party, unnecessarily, as all of you quickly realize that Kolbek's Pride is slowing and drifting to a stop.  The cause is readily apparent. Another vessel is approaching rapidly from upriver. It is a much larger craft, about forty-five feet from stem to stern, equipped with sails and a row of oars. It flies the five-colored flag of Q'Barra. As it closes to approximately fifty yards and turns broadside on. You can see black and red uniformed archers scrambling into position.  A tall figure holds up a conical instrument, evidently some sort of device to amplify the voice. Eff Flat is delighted by the perfect reproduction of sound - it seems as if the speaker is right next to you. His voice is soothing and almost melodious, with a lilting Riedran accent. "By authority granted by King Sebastes of Q'Barra, you are ordered to stand to and prepare to be boarded while we search for contraband." Calabas stands, his face white with fear. He looks at all of you. "What should we do?"</blockquote>
