[QUOTE="Isklexi, post: 6295113, member: 6684948"] [gm]At this point, we start getting into the B team. I'll put indicators of when the action switches between teams.[/gm] [B]B-Team[/B] The constables arrived at the docks to meet with the Beran diplomat. They were greeted by the brusk Lizardfolk Bosun, Cruusk, who demanded they prove who they were. Cruusk then proceeded to supervise the unloading of cargo while mostly ignoring any questions the constables had. Serena attempted to mediate an argument between a docker and a goblin, but since neither of them spoke the same language, the docker eventually gave up and let the goblin operate his crane. The constables noticed some thugs watching them from a nearby bar. Before they could move to investigate, the goblin operated crane experienced mechanical failure. The cable on the crane snapped spilling its oversize load onto the stone pier. The crate smashed open and released its occupant, a large dire bear. After a brief staring contest with Carlao, the bear was called to heel by its owner Brakken of Heffanita. Brakken introduced himself as the Beran diplomat responsible for mediating the upcoming peace talks and introduced his pet dire bear, Feroz. The constables then escorted Brakken to the Beran consulate on the edge of town where they met Gerax, the one-legged Orc consular.
