The Antigrol Tide (IC)

[Mallak]

Spot (1d20+1=4)

Troth manages to spot his belly button. Oh, look! Lint!


With some huffing and puffing, the crew hauls the dead body on board the Pander Ban. In that time, the row boat has covered much of the distance to the ship. The crew immediately works to put their ship into motion and distance themselves from the barge and oncomming rowboat. As Grondar attempts to tie up the old man, the old man's eyes go wild and roll about, and he spies the oncomming rowboat. He yells out, "Help, help, I'm being oppressed!"

The crew hears a familiar chuckle as the harbor boat gets nearer.

"Toss down a rope ladder!"

Magyar Rhineholdt, human rogue

The crew hears a familiar chuckle as the harbor boat gets nearer.

"Toss down a rope ladder!"

Mag's jaw drops, and he loosens the tension in his bow, now figuring he won't have to use it.

"Malachi? I was sure the elves had made off with you!" he calls as he looks about for a rope / rope ladder to lower.

Grondar

What?! It's ... Malachi, I thought the old rug was history.
Turning back his look to the old bum, the thug snarls.
I told you to shut up.
Raising his fist, Grondar punch the man in the belly.

 

[Mallak]

Magyar lowers a boarding ladder down to Malachi as the rowboat pulls up alongside the ship. There are several other cloaked and hooded passengers in the boat along with Malachi. A familiar voice calls up in a hush, "Lower your voices, the both of you, before you wake the whole city."

On deck, the old man whimpers when Grondar slugs him in the gut, and he doubles over the railing where he is tied, coughing and gasping for breath.

"Yes, Ma'am," Mag says in a stage whisper. He smiles in relief at Mistress' voice. "I gather you've collected all your charges, then? If so, I think we have all we need to makes sail, and I think we need to do so quickly."

 

[unleashed]

Leaving Magyar to greet their new arrivals, Colmarr checks the water and shoreline for any other movement as the newcomers are brought aboard.

"Thanks, Mag," says a relieved Malachi with a likewise lowered voice, as he helps the others up before climbing up himself. "but it was the town guard that gave me more trouble."

Malachi is wearing a new set of clothes, a bit too big, but otherwise looks about the same. "Adonai told me to travel North to another ship to free enslaved innocents." He pauses to look at the figure on the railing and then at Grondar. "Do we really need him along?"

I donn'o, maybe he knows something ... unless he is innocent like he says he is?
The Thug reply.

"Well, that is a good point, but he won't be talking much in that condition. Why don't tie him up to a chair below deck so that he can't warn any unfriendlies of our position, and then ask him who hired him." Malachi looks for some rope. "While we're doing that, the others can sail the ship north to the innocents"
