Tale of the Clueless - Chapter 1: On the Seas of Air [IC Thread]

[Eva of Sirrion]

[sblock=nalfeshnee and vor]What more can you tell us about this tyrant you spoke of? Mir asks Liomann. If half of what you said is true, and if such a being plagued my home, then I'm sure all the elves and elfkin and the Plainsmen from my world would unite to end him and his depradations.[/sblock]

 

[Nalfeshnee]

[sblock=Vor and Mir]'The man... if man he can be called, is immensly powerful - a blood when it comes to combat and scheeming alike. The armour he wears (like the Hammer your captain carries) is a powerful artefact, whose only weakness is that same weapon. So confident is he in the armours' properties that he has fused with his own body making him as much construct now as man.

'His irrational hatred of nature and the sylvan world has casued the torture and death of untold dyrads and rilmani, not to mention tuladhra, elves, humans, gnomes and halflings who make their home in the Outlands. None I have questioned know the root of his hatred and it is unlikely that anyone really knows the dark, and i wonder if there even is a reason for his ways.

'The Martyrs got involved when a caravan travelling from Tradegate to one of the towns in the more remote reaches of the Outlands was attacked. Attacked is hardly the right word. the guards were butchered and the crew slain to some dark deity. This is as much to lay our friends' souls to rest as much as it asbout nbringing these berks to justice. If you know anything about friendship, you will tel your captain to aid us.'[/sblock]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Drota shakes her head. "This will get ugly," she states, nodding with Thrumgall's words. "The shiek may have to wait for his prize."

 

[Dichotomy]

Idim shakes her head. "I do not understand this. Could not the shiek gain influence with these people if he allowed them to use his weapon? Would not Beni Al Gumain gain favor with the shiek by capturing such an opportunity?" It is likely clear to the others that the Shaaryan girl still doesn't fully understand the nature of hired help.

 

[Gli'jar]

Terrathoin nods in agreement as the others speak. "Looks like we are all thinking the same. A drink later sounds proper, just the thing to clear the head."

 

[Nalfeshnee]

Idim shakes her head. "I do not understand this. Could not the shiek gain influence with these people if he allowed them to use his weapon? Would not Beni Al Gumain gain favor with the shiek by capturing such an opportunity?" It is likely clear to the others that the Shaaryan girl still doesn't fully understand the nature of hired help.

Derrick nods at the words, 'Aye. But from what I've heard the man is selfish; interested only in himself. He is a agood mruler, or rather, those who do the work for him are good rulers - his viziers and advisors do the bulk of the work while he sups deeply of the coffers. He has been looking for this weapon for some years and now it is so close to being his he think of nothing than having it in one of his many display rooms. Beni has some influence in the Sheiks' court and his word could sway the man's decision. We will see - but let us step into that portal when we come to it, eh?'

'And dont forget; tonight - we have fun!'

 

[Ambrus]

[sblock=Nalfeshnee & Mir]

If you know anything about friendship, you will tel your captain to aid us.'

Vor drifts lazily alongside the Matyred Justice while Leomann recounts his tale. "Beni is a good man and, I would hope, a good friend as well. He's already agreed to help you as much as he can at the moment; there's little else to be asked of him I think. It's now more a matter of reaching and speaking favorably with the king who's hammer you need as soon as possible. I haven't met him yet so I don't know if he's a righteous man or not. I pray we'll succeed in petitioning him for his aid."[/sblock]

 

[Nalfeshnee]

[sblock=Vor & Mir]'I thank you for your consideration. Now, if you do not mind, we have matters to atend to. It would be best f yo uretrun to your ship for now.'[/sblock]

 

[Nalfeshnee]

[sblock=those on The Sea Breeze]Derrick comes up to you, letting you know that hes' 'off duty, so to speak, and that you can come down to his cabit when you want.[/sblock]

[sblock=those on The Martyred Justice now]What do you do?[/sblock]

 

[Ambrus]

[sblock=Nalfeshnee & Mir]"I don't really spend that much time on the ship, not when there's all this sky to enjoy." Vor offers the man one of his long saurian smiles while his twin saw-toothed frills rise above his head. "Thanks for your time Leomann; it was a pleasure talking to you and your brother. Please give me a shout if you need anything. I'm at your disposal."[/sblock]The little silver dragon gently banks away from the Martyrted Justice's gunwale before lazily drifting backwards to circle the ship around the back and then over the top before gliding back to drift alongside the Sea Breeze. He offers his opinion to his companions on deck: "Pleasant enough folk these Martyrs."
