Private Cabin

As Bruce comes in, he sees the boy already going through the packs, trying to identify what is in the various unopened pouches and sacks. Seeing the man come in, the boy looks up briefly, then continues his work. "Look like we got quite da collection 'ere."

 

[Tonks]

[sblock=Alin and Bruce]The sacks are all empty and as you examine the torches you see a twindertwig attached to each torch with a small strip of cloth. The two belts each have six small metal tubes inserted in the loops allowing the tubes to be pulled out easily. Stamped on the top of the tubes in the first belt is a symbol of fire and stamped on the top of those in the other belt is a green skull.[/sblock]

Kelvad comes aboard the Soul of Winter with a bit of trepidation. Sailing is not his preferred method of locomotion, and the prospect of being confined to his quarters is not a pleasant one. Nevertheless, he has agreed to accompany the expedition, and he means to do so. Even though it be the death of him.

Kerwick climbs aboard, beaming brightly in the dawning light and breathing deeply of the fresh sea air. He attempts to hail a few of his kinsmen, who seem to sadly be too busy in their work to notice right now.

"Oh well, they must not have heard me."

The captain's request strikes him as a bit odd, but he reasons to himself as he joins the others below decks.

"He must just have meant Aubreck should stay down here. You wouldn't want a land walker to be on your boat in a storm, but surely he'll change his mind once he gets to know Bruce and I. If I were a captain, I'd want me on my ship!"

[sblock=OOC]haf and watus: Go ahead and open either stone's or Voadam's private bubble to see all the gear that is in the cabin and feel free to post from there. I will move things forward a little, but want to give you guys to decide some things on who gets what.[/sblock]

As Kerwick and Kelvad enter the cabin with Aubreck close behind the Walker, you see Alin and Bruce seperating piles of gear that is stacked in the room. As Alin lifts one of the belts up, Aubreck quickly speaks before the younger man can twist the lids open.

"I wouldn't advise opening that one just yet. It is full of liquid fire and those others are to deal with any toxins. I don't think you will need the antitoxin, but I know you will need to fire to send the Emporer to her final resting place once the job is done."

 

[Voadam]

"Now that we're at sea, let's here about this cargo you want us to recover. What speciically will we be grabbing for you?"

"I wouldn't advise opening that one just yet. It is full of liquid fire and those others are to deal with any toxins. I don't think you will need the antitoxin, but I know you will need to fire to send the Emporer to her final resting place once the job is done."

Alin places the vails down, carefully, and backs away from the bags. "Whatevah yah say, mistah. You be payin'."

 

[Tonks]

"There is a crate that is marked with a wizard's brand in the shape of my trading symbol. The crate was enchanted to protect the items inside of it from the conditions of travel in a cargo hold, so the wood will appear as fresh now as it was the day it was sealed. Inside the crate are the treasures I will use to restore my name and status among those who have looked down upon me for so long. As I have said before, all I care about is the crate, anything else on the Emporer you may have, as after the crate is safely moved and your bags filled to your contentment, I wish you to put the Emperor to flames and allow her the rest she deserves after returning to me.

 

[hafrogman]

Kerwick smiles broadly.

"Well then, that sounds good and simple. Shouldn't be any chance of picking up the wrong crate anyways. And a fitting end for a loyal ship and a new start for our noble employer. Yessir, we'll have you back and . . . shipshape . . . in no time!"

[sblock=OOC]Just to keep things moving...[/sblock]

The next two days pass slowly as Captain Windrune and his crew do not allow you much time out of your quarters. As dawn breaks on the third day however, Aubreck knocks on the door and even before you can open it, his muffled voice carries the news.

"She is beside us...the Emperor is beside us..."
